As long as the backline consists of Gilbert, Geary, Fisher and Dempster, we'll be fine. Who needs height or skill? Not the mighty Saints.

Great coach when we win. Crap coach when we lose. Glass half full. Glass half empty. You miss the point. He's been wrong all year with his backline selections. Win, lose or draw...he's wrong. A backline of panic merchants, lead by Geary, Dempster, Gilbert, Fisher and Roberton is crazy. Undersized, ...

Our midfield were disgraceful, as were our backline. Undersized, poorly skilled and quick to panic and crab sideways or retreat. Of course Lee wouldn't have changed the outcome but with that logic, why bother selecting a fwd line either because it's only midfield that matters. Why are we the only si...

Hilarious thread!! 2 weeks ago we were blaming Ports demise on Richardson leaving now after one bad performance he's no good. Champagne comedy, keep it up guys!! There is nothing wrong with questioning the selection policy. Richo doesn't believe in KPD'ers and some supporters disagree. He likes a s...

Gilbert needs to play mid/hff
Geary replaced by DMAC
One of Lee/Goddard must play

Insane to leave Fisher out of an undersized backline and not replace him

And Roberton - another poor kick

You just can't keep selecting that Dad's army short arse backline. Imagine this in an era when kicking is everything. A backline with Geary, Dempster and Gilbert in it. 3 players with the worst disposal in the AFL. Crazy.

It's the joy of playing undersized. Richo loves it.

All coaches know more than the supporters, they have never made errors.

Lynch is going well at Adelaide but Rossy knew best because guess what...he was the coach. Supporters who are too scared to question the coach are pussies.

Uses the ball well???? He is shocking with the ball in hand. Always takes the safe option. Kicks it slow and high and seems to specialize in kicking it OOF. He's a liability with the ball in hand.

lol at Webster on Waite

You really are <<< MOD EDIT. POSTER WARNED FOR ABUSE >>>

Tony, surely we pick Goddard and/or Lee this week. With Thomas out, we could drop Geary and have both in. Webster on Waite is just a joke.

I don't care that women want to play football but who would pay to watch it? Surely just their families and that's about it.

Would be like paying to watch Auskick.

I find it interesting that the 3 guys who are most criticised for their poor disposal on this site, Dempster, Gilbert and Geary are currently 4th, 5th and 6th for disposal efficiency % at the club and all are well over the league average. Geary will never be a superstar but if i was going into batt...

I wouldn't be surprised to see Gilbert play on Watts wherever he plays. Watts is named in the forward line but plays much of the game as a 'link' between defence and attack. Gilbert is tall enough and fast enough to play on him wherever Watts is. Hence no need for an extra 'tall' in our defence - L...

Now that I don't buy

Dempster specialises in kicking the ball out on the full. He's the best in the AFL at it

Murdoch in for Joey on HBF I guess.

Good idea to drop the best kick in the backline when kicking is the problem. Absolute clowns this selection committee. We will get nothing for Lee when he goes home because even when given a chance and he plays well, our idiotic selectors drop him.

Clueless

Big Mart is clueless. Webster is a beautiful kick.

My memory is that altough Ablett was quiet in that game, he flattened Grant and Burke, taking them ot of the game. And yes, I thihnk Brownless 9 and Lockett 8, or something like that. Winmar and McAdam were great too. Long time ago for my memory.

If you make too much noise at Etihad someone will complain and then the meathead attendants are gathered around you. Seems supporters like to silently watch the football while seated. Heaven forbid anybody stands up.
