Re: Farewell Lonie

Its all well and good to see Lonie, Wright and Minchington let go.... ....but the Saints actually need to find a new small forward then that will make an impact. I don't think they need another small forward. Need to fix up the way they send the ball into the F50 first, work on that. We could have ...

Re: Joey

He leaves a huge gap to fill-
into which Brandon White should step in very nicely indeed.
I hope Rice doesn't hit the Shane Warne diet in the off-season like last year

We need his skill and composure, he is certainly part of the future.
Anyone thinking Joey might hand over the #11 to Brandon?

Re: Newnes

Newnes is a good player and not going anywhere. To say otherwise is stupdity. You will never have a team full of A grade guns in every position. Newnes is a B grade yes but is definately required. So we keep a plodder who has plateaued and can't win his position at all, after 100 games? Wait till h...

Imagine if Richmond lost patience with Hardwick. Yeah imagine. Why are people people talking up Richmond/Hardwick like a success story?

Re: Our Report Card Is In And We Got An F

The ladder position is the only indicator, and in that case, compared to last year we have failed. We needed to go up a rung or two to be on the right track. It's a C in my book. We never seemed totally switched on this season- too inconsistent, too many bad losses, some good wins, a few players sh...

Big fish...
A Dees fan brought a cheese platter to the footy.

He also smuggled a whole salmon in his backpack (true according to one of his mates)

Our target was to make the 8. But for a moment if madness against Port when Acres decided to "wander off" we would be in a final. If we could only improve our kicking from being the WORST to average we will improve dramatically. So C- And missing so many goals in THAT game and others had ...

To be clear I am not advocating to sack Richo. The senior coach can only do so much anyway. What I am strongly arguing for is more resources thrown at Assistant Coaches and Recruitment. I actually agree with Con. I think Richo might need some new ideas. I still reckon he's a good coach and develope...

Re: List cloggers.....who are they?

I would keep Savage as a required player,
he has been dropped a year ago and worked his way back,
got dropped this year and again worked his ring off to get back and is better than ever.

If someone can learn and develop, and be valuable, they're the goods, in my book.
Keep Randy Macho Man Savage.

Being a great player and trainer does not make a great coach. Wishing him the best and hope Frankston can get off the ground and be sustainable.
