Re: VFL Rd 1- Sandringham vs Footsrcray

Rice spent some time forward in a forward line without talls and had no opportunities or did little, depending on your point of view. Coffield played as a loose man in defence. One classy shimmy and pinpoint disposal was all there was to report though. Yes our skills were not up to our opponents in ...

Re: VFL Rd 1- Sandringham vs Footsrcray

Armo wasn’t among our best on the night. Thanks to the poster who reminded me that White was good. The wind made kicking accurately difficult and he shines there.

Re: VFL Rd 1- Sandringham vs Footsrcray

Watched the first three quarters. Longer, rucking against Jordon Sweet and Gardner was dominant and could basically knock it wherever he liked but our centrebounce set up of Langlands, Armo and Seccull, occasionally relieved by Long and Tahana just couldn’t take it away. Footscray dominated around t...

Re: Karl Amon

Amon would be quicker than anyone in our midfield bar maybe Jack Steven. He’s also a reliable kick.
A good pick up, if we get him, we’re not the only suitor.

Re: Pick 4 Adelaide and Port

GC are planning to take Luko and Rankine not Rozee. The sole basis for the Rozee rumour is an AFL website story picked up by the papers and social media. The two more interesting questions are: 1. What are the SA clubs prepared to give GC to access one of those twp picks? 2. As rodgerfox alludes to ...

Re: Shiel Gone... Should We Chase Scully

Why do so many threads on this forum end as this has with posters disparaging each other? Getting Scully a good idea. He wants to go to the Hawks or another high-achieving team. Will get there and for not much. St Kilda issues belated press release saying “ Hey if you change your mind...” End of sto...

Re: Hannebery Deal Tomorrow

What does it look like..?? Not sure what we are trading for him..future second..? A future second is pick 19 or 20 next year at this stage. Wow, you are very negative about the saints recently. Hannebery simply isn’t worth that much. Perhaps a little pessimistic but not far off the money. At this p...

Although it is a bit early you have to judge the recruiters on last years picks clarke and Coffield, the recruiter had all the time in the world to pick correctly and if one of those turns out to be a very good player then they have done their job.
