Phillipou plays HB he averages 20 per game Not where his confidence is at atm he wouldn’t. I think the point is Sinclair went back to the 2’s, built up his body, learnt the position, got some confidence THEN came back into the 1’s, and look what an elite player he is! I fear we will never know how ...

Whinge whinge whinge He got one charity free He is 8cm taller than Corr and was out pointed BTW - I was at the game His body language was pathetic- he fkn sooked!!! His effort was deplorable- did not work hard at any point! As I said - so easy to defend - even Aidan Corr (a D Grade defender) made h...

The rationale for keeping MOwens out of the midfield is losing cred?

A round 24, North v Hawks might be rather academic.

Over the Top nominee?

Please explain Pauline,
Libratore gets a week for sling tackle.
Can serve it while sidelined with concussion protocol.
Actual penalty for sling tackle? SFA.
What gives? the penalty you give when it's not a penalty.

Owens and Higgins are technically poor kicks - they will never be reliable - King also kicks it well, but his nervousness is obvious His nervousness? Can hardly bare to watch. Shame nervousness can't be transferred completely to us supporters, doesn't seem fair he and we have to worry. Used to get ...

Ahh,
Pelchen & Watters
Richo & Lethlean
Lerhman & Higgins
Bourke & Wills
Andrews & Cwealth Games

Mitchito has lost confidence in his goal kicking. It will return.

Jones is extremely quick No composure and takes on the tackler every time- runs himself into trouble or gets caught. Born for League where its constant tackle/try to break tackle and team mates are behind the ball carrier. Guys in front or beside Zac get terribly confused about what's happening.

Perhaps now might be the time to move the thread to a special forum for such issues? Just a suggestion.

You don't learn to swim standing on the Sandy beach.

Your attempts to trivialise and point score this issue are appalling.

Great to hit 100 points for.
2 goals between King and Membrey.
Riddle me that Batman.

Don't get why North can't win. They have a lot of early picks who are talented, a monster ruckman who plays well, they defend like devils, Zurhar, Larkey. Curtis. They can move the ball well, apparently well coached.They must knock someone off at Marvel, surely?

Didn't it take 2 clubs not really wanting Blake before he pulled his finger out. Was jogging on the fringe of contests for most of his time with us. Can't remember him throwing his weight around. Penny dropped eventually. Seems Voss only wants goers and Blues Captain is 6'5". Persuasive in the...

Must be low on confidence. Got dragged last year, MCG I think, then injured, looked ok preseason then injured again. Plus Clarkson challenged his sexuality and this forum just piles on. It's tough being Dougal. And now he has to go against Larkey, who does a killer Clarkson impersonation. Guy can't...

Yes, please, Sainter Dad.

Thanks for all the organising.

I think we are currently at a crossroads in development. Clearly there are two players ready to play AFL in Collard and Schoenmaker. Bring them in and we're almost too young a side, need some experience beside them for on field coaching and leadership. Especially up forward. Bonner must be only a c...

Always excuses. This year it was this, that year it was that. Just for once, no excuses would be nice. Why can’t we draft well. Why can’t we develop. Doesn’t matter who is in charge, nothing changes. From what you hear about Basset, he seems to be trying, but we are going backwards….again. We beat ...

And no stats are cherry picked, and I am not trying to make out that men are hard done by. I am merely pointing out that mindlessly regurgitating simplistic phrases like "men must do better" will not resolve the issue, because the issue is not simple, and it is not a gendered issue. Havin...

The AFL's "stand" on social issues is not genuine it's marketing think. Great concern for mental health, other medical causes, the vulnerable - sponsored by big betting. Greenwashing a huge social evil. The Anzac ceremonies are very moving however the Collingwood v Essendon "tradition...

How is it League and Union players tackle all game long, almost every play and players are not continually suspended, for tackles below the head/neck region.
I think umpires not paying quick htb penalties has contributed to the current nonsense.
