Higgins has just been signed for three years.

He had a good audition for the Dawks last week and back to his usual shite self for his audition for the Blues today.

The end of his time with us can’t come quick enough

He’s really taken supporter disquiet to a new (low) level. I mean, there’s always the usual whipping boys (eg Ross, Howard etc) but they’re a bit more of an eye roll … rather than the genuine disgust, bordering on hatred - that pervades No. 4. I don’t know one of our supporters who even tries to def...

Think there might be quite a few who won’t be there next year. Not a bad thing too.

If I had the cash - I’d happily pay for Gresham to be sacked tonight.

It’s a B grade group at best. Crouch is a serious player but we don’t have much in the cupboard.

Much better quarter, well on top, had our high pressure game going. Unfortunately Higgins and Gresh again showing their shortcomings. Got away with a few dodgy kicks across D50. Steele only 6 touches, not good enough from the captain, needs to get into the game this second half. You’re not at the g...

For the first time this year i actually think there are a few options. Obviously training tomorrow will determine fitness of a few however it makes for some tough decisions. Hill, King, Membrey, Hayes, Coffield all seem likely options. Firstly looking at Carlton - Forward they have Curnow, DeKoning...

Absolutely brilliant first quarter. Team footy at its best. It's amazing what you can achieve when you have an attacking mind set. Loved the goal barrage There probably needs to be a complete separate thread on that first quarter because we haven't had as good a 1st quarter like that since back in ...

Yeah - that was quite noticeable in game with his lower leg tightly strapped. Calf?

I was really pissed off with that slap. He just shouldn't do it. He knows he will be caught so why be stupid? I get what you're saying but ... I loved that he smacked Sicily for putting his head where he shouldn't and let him know he wouldn't be bossed around. We're such a nice, non-confrontational...

Much like Malware, Spam and Phishing filters and security ... is there a Vortex one commercially available? That'll save heaps on database clogging and bandwith hogging.

He was immense yesterday. What suits him most is that he has a ¬10min / 3klm tank so he can get up and back. I've always loved Members' ability to hit the wings and work back but Sharman is a better runner. He dropped 3 cars yesterday too. One day it'll be a full on clunk fest for him

No, the backline didn’t look better without Howard. Structurally it looked worse. We looked as though we went in one big man down overall. Ideally Cordy would have been a straight replacement for Howard down back. Someone else - Hayes maybe if he were fit - would have helped with the triple-team on...

We've got very lucky with Howard's injury. He's needed when we play teams with 2 or more big forwards. We can cover one with Battle and Wilkie but not two. We'd be in all sorts this week if Harry was playing; Hawkins AND Cameron pose a problem but Hawkins looks injured now; Jack R AND Lynch would be...

Ashes retained! Don’t care how … just great to see Stokes / Crawley sooking it up at the presentation.

Bring Neeser in at The Oval and freshen up and then beat them 3-1 (even though the soap dodgers will still think they won 3-1).

We have very few players who kick the ball long. Wood, Marshall, Philllipou, and Hill. That's it. If Ross wants to go young, I'm all for it. We've targeted the wrong players for a decade or more. It's time to get some speed and skill into a stodgy midfield. You missed Mitch Owens out of that list o...

Sinclair to Long to snuff any comeback is peak StKilda. Absolute fvcking plonkers they are.

Glad the club backs first gamers in with a spot in the 22.

Are you forgetting we played NWM7 as a sub in R1 last year? Even worse … unused.

His body will not fully mature for another two years. That was the excuse being used 2 years ago. Many of the current great tall forwards were a lot more dependable at the same age. What? Like say, Oscar Allen? You know - the one who missed all of last year with feet issues? Tom Hawkins? Fat and in...

It’s just really simple. Don’t kick it to May and Lever all fvcking night. If we do what we did with Harris Andrews and James Sicily then, that shows the players are incredibly dumb and not even nearly as coachable as RtB proclaims. Novel idea … as soon as the footy is forward of centre - smash it i...

There’s a lot of the Godard’s about him. Except Goddard was pretty much the best player in the comp in 2010.

Howard isn’t in the top 150

Get off the fvcking senior list Howard you incompetent dolt. Fvck me: we’re 3 goals down and he’s the direct cause of 3 of them.

Imagine that Pillock in a final.

Yes, the fact that the Hawks self reported to the AFL does say a bit Point of order as that is 100% incorrect - as confirmed by Jeff Kennett this morning. The Hawks commissioned a report as a result of some allegations (stupidly so by not putting in place a framework for the investigation, any guar...

Can use it….
Peris? Not so much

What's very clear is that RtB likes runners. Above pretty much everything else. There's no better runner in the entire AFL than Peris. And it's not even close
