Re: Our Bobby Hill

Which of our current players is capable of putting on a Bobby Hill style performance in a Grand Final ? Butler is too prone to attempting his Harlem Globetrotters style flick ons, party tricks, and goals around the corner from 40m out - none of which ever come off against good teams in pressure sit...

Re: Cauliflower 🆚 Brussels Sprouts

Best team of the year and better team on the day won. Great final, well done Collingwood. Maynard cleared A prelim where umpires were ripped into for countless frees that favoured Collingwood Then a GF with similar umpiring bias. Maynard cleared as he should have been.

Re: And his name goes into the history books

I'm sure Frampton would have liked to hold on to a couple of those marks near the goal square. If he had, couple of goals and a different scenario. He was brought in to provide a tall target and keep Andrews busy, reduce his intercept marks. He did, especially in first half, at least the ball got to...

No to another player in his 30s with injury issues thanks. In fact, no to any player over 28. That includes Boak or anybody like that. Let's just focus on drafting the best youth we can get.

Re: Gresham

Out Gresham And pick ??? Lot of discussion on the pick back to Essendon As low as 13 or as high as 50 That is the cruncher in this possible deal That's right, that is the cruncher. Surely Essendon don't get 13 for Gresham. Not much in it for us in that case. Get Shiel, but plus his contract, and ou...

Re: AFL 2023: Nailing trades can turn St Kilda into a contender

Don't think I'd have Acres in our side. He epitomises our issues with long bombs to opposition inside 50. What rubbish. Did you miss the Elimination Final against Sydney? His size and his running ability and work rate and contested ball winning abilities are made for finals. Easily one of Carlton's...

Re: Bye bye Maynard

Taking a massive leap without any consideration of where you are landing is reckless. Jumping so high or late that you can't change direction and then lands on the player proves how reckless it was. If you don't have the ball and you throw yourself at the ball and can't possibly lay a legal tackle,...

Maynard didn't deliberately line him up, he was trying to smother the kick. Maynard was movin...

I actually think he gets off if he doesn't turn his body side on and the shoulder crashes into his head. He left the ground and has a duty to protect the player he is running at ,and did not have to turn side on. BINGO!!! To me that’s the crux of the matter right there. If he stays front on and the...

Re: Bye bye Maynard

If Maynard gets suspended for that the game should become non contact. If he wanted to clean up Brayshaw he could have ran straight at him. The fact he jumped showed his intent was to smother. Very soft if he is rubbed out for that. What you are arguing is that head injuries are acceptable. That se...
