Between none and 22

there has to be concerns at least how far behind Freeman has fallen and may continue to fall unless he gets into AFL games. surely developmentally if you are not getting into games you are not sufficiently working on your craft. players like Newnes and Dunstan got straight into it, clocked up the g...

There is plenty of time. He isn't even 21.

winner of the pre season cup can just nurse their team through the home and away season.... rotate rests through the squad... get them fresh and peaking by finals time.. so... doubt that one will fly.. some changes to fixturing should occur though, current method is a joke My solution: 17 game seas...

You bumped something from over a month ago to say that.

To much funny stuff.

We are talking about a 20 year old kid. Bali, Singapore or Hawaii? Pretty simple answer in my book. Bali every day of the week.

Bickering stops now.

Post ONLY on Footy.

Not each other.

Maybe just stop what a person suggests they know about each other because let's face it none of us know about our footy ability

Please attempt to at least mention the first poster first if that is even slightly possible. Obviously far to hard.

Agree we need to be careful about how we communicate with Jake, but the club will sort it out. I've got no doubt. Jake will get all the attention he needs, both physically and mentally. Jake will be a good player for us Bluthy. Just try to be positive about it. I know you're not a big fan. Let's se...

Do you rate what AR thinks plugger, or Ross Lyon. They clearly want an effective ruckman who can compete at stoppage. Ross bases his game around stoppage. We traded McEvoy and he takes marks around the ground. We preferred Longer because he not only gives some first use, but competes harder to blun...

So would we have done better in 2003 with a better ruckman... Or worse ... Or the same?? You and plugger are arguing a different POV completely You are saying you can still perform well without a quality ruckman, and are using examples of teams that do... Of course you can, a team is played with 18...

You obviously don't drink.

I trust the Singapore Water Main system as opposed to Bali's.

I'm pretty sure you knew I meant grog.

Sydney had Mumford and Pyke. Mummy had dodgy hammy so shows another benefit of having two guys who can do specialist ruck - you need that cover as s*** happens. Hale and McEvoy were a great combo against Nic Nat and Sandilands. You need the two rucks man. History shows it. You can't argue with hist...

It's easier to win first possession if you control the ruck. It's easier to get on the fly if you know what quadrant the ball will be directed to... If you don't believe that... You've never played a game in anger, definitely haven't been in a midfield! Agree - and that really pays off in prelims a...

Once again, the stupidity of the AFL is shown up again. They should've thought of this issue and announced compensation for us the Dogs and Port at the same time as helping their lovechild protected species club Essendrug. In reality, Essendon should have ZERO top ups this season. They should have ...

Richo tweeted that they were working with AFL to be able to add another rookie. I don't know if that is what this is referring to or whether they now want an extra fully list player as an option and not upgrade a rookie. A rookie would be the cheapest option for us. It might also be to back Port an...

That list doesnt seem right. Many of those blokes have signed contracts. My feeling is we hit the draft. We will 100% get a top 10 pick. Lets just focus all our resources on getting our first two round picks right. Lets say pick 5 + 23. Get them RIGHT. Dont get sucked into the bs trade game. Draft ...
