Re: Garcia. Great Debut
Seriously not enough is being said about Garcia and his performance. In a word it was sensational borrowing a word. Only 1.5 Quarters of footy, but 11 possessions, seven contested and six tackles against the current number 1 team in the competition. This kid can clearly play AFL footy. He deserves f...

In Search Of A Silver Lining
At the risk of stating the obvious, our start to 2024 has not been great. And for all supporters that is frustrating. Does it mean we are staring down the barrel of yet another forgettable year for this football club? No. Way too early to tell. There are excuses for one win from three games. There a...

Re: Match Sim 1 vs Essendon
Practice matches are given that title for a reason. Because they are no more than a bit of practice. An opportunity for clubs to try a few things and some new players as well. So what do we make of St Kilda v Essendon? Well, for a start ignore the scoreboard. It will have zero input into how we will...

Holy Moly. That handball from Henry to Garcia for a goal was outstanding. Yikes.

For some reason I missed 1913.
So glad I was there in '66 and later at Sierakowski's pub on Nepean Highway Brighton, at the ripe old age of 16, probably the first time I got drunk!

I am old. That is good and bad. Let’s focus on the good. Unlike many of you, I experienced our footy team winning a premiership. Not just reading about or listening to the recollections of old timers. To experience the joy of it. To see Alan Jeans embrace Barry Breen. Seeing the player celebrations ...

Training Wednesday 10 Jan

Re: How Well Did We Do?
How well did we do? It’s a question you naturally ask at the end of any trade and draft periods. In 2023 I’m in no doubt the answer is extremely well. Our plan was completely transparent. To use both opportunities to fundamentally re shape our playing list. And we have. The priority was speed and e...

Billings, Coffield, Gresh 0n a scale of ‘100=the complete player”, I guess we lose 40+50+60 = 150 points That’s a lot of talent and experience to lose in one punch But maybe they were past their best, or flawed and so on And so maybe they will even be a liability at that their new clubs We have to ...

Re: Will Paddy Dow and Liam Henry make us better?
Since we’ve recruited him he’s now a lightning quick clearance beast with elite hands that Carlton underrated 😂😂😂 Who's saying this apart from you? I will say there's a hope he can become this. Let's all hope. If he is, we will be much better. The club clearly rates him. Laugh on. But let's also ho...

Will Paddy Dow and Liam Henry make us better?
Now there’s a question. Here’s another. Who’s brave enough to answer it? There are no guarantees in life or footy. But I’m going to say yes. I base that answer on the following. There’s a consensus here and elsewhere that SOS and Gubby drive who we chase during trade week. I think it’s partly true b...

Re: Darcy Wilson
Chances of getting a similar level player at 40 to a pick is almost The same It’s a weak draft, very even after about pick 12 - even our two first rounders are not Only 50 odd will get drafted. Don’t expect a Phillipou like slider to be around our first pick at 17 I know some people are saying it i...

Re: Darcy Wilson
It's interesting to speculate on who we might take in the draft. Darcy Wilson would be a great get but I agree he will be long gone by the time it's our turn. Adelaide are super keen on him and their pick is before ours. Riley Hardeman looks the goods for us if he's still available. A fast, reboundi...
