Mmmm...this to me is a classic chicken or egg delima. Yes in the breadbasket would have been easier to mark But that was a dropped regulation catch at the elite level by a highly skilled player. Hill stuffed that up for mine. Hill should have grabbed that mark easily, it was a good kick to him in t...

Will get better when we get more firepower inside support .... see Crouch & Clark ..... also with Higgins back he can move to a that wing- half forward connector role we say him play against the Pies .... cutting thru the center on the outside One disappointing play on the weekend was just befo...

Have gone back and watched the replay… Kick really wasn’t that bad. Whilst I stand by my earlier post RE kick out pecking order… that one is entirely on Hill. Kick could have been better sure but it was very markable and wouldn’t constitute a Clanger. Unforced error by Hill and his opponent did get...

I’m not 100% on it

4 years but I think he'll need longer to build a list capable of challenging, we can't take short cuts this time.

Does Allison get a game ahead of Sharman on that effort? I think both players will be cut at seasons end unless of coarse Allison keeps delivering consistently from this point but I'd say the coaches have seen enough of Sharman to know he's not going to make it at AFL level. I think we'll see Hayes...

Why are you asking a question you know the answer to?

It's a rarity for me to be on the same page as my old mate Vortex, but I couldn't agree more with his succinct comments! To be fair, my views on the coach versus talent debate hasn't changed one little bit since before Richo departed, and then before Ratts departed and then I kept expressing the sa...

Devils Advocate again Maybe we win 2-3 more games for the year. Worst case scenario sees us finish 16th. More probable is 15th. Yes...that gets us pick 4 or pick 5...but Instead of the talk about who St Kilda might bring in, could our poor performances herald an exodus of our best players? Suppose ...

I already blame our next coach, his game plan sucks.

Mmmm...this to me is a classic chicken or egg delima.

But that was a dropped regulation catch at the elite level by a highly skilled player.

Hill stuffed that up for mine.

Max competed hard is the Narrative.

So did Caminiti, and also brings energy and passion....AND kicked goals.

I'm really worried about Max long term, he his a really average player currently.

Lack of talent, youth and experience = skill errors.

It's what a hard rebuild looks like.

Why is that so hard to understand leading supporters to want a villain to hate?

We are well short of the talent and experience required to compete, that is all.

Yep looking forward to seeing Dow I think Henry will be worth watching closely, hoping he puts in a similar performance to the one against the Pies being up against his old side. Windy will be worth watching closely, he hopefully is close to exploding in an attacking way. Our forwards are coming up ...

We just need better players - be used for previous coaches? 1 million percent agree that is absolutely applied to previous coaches. Haven't you been paying attention for the best part of a decade and at least since the sacking of Richo and Ratts, I have never ever waivered in my belief of the well ...

Maybe he just has better players ??

No talent = no coach

We need more talent if Lyon is to be successful.

He doesn't have a magic wand.

He can't do magic tricks.

He can't improve every player he meets.

I think not rewarding good form at Sandy is a bigger picture decision than Jones alone. You have to say that you value performance at that level as a metric for AFL selection. Yes but, Your measurement system for good form at Sandy is not necessary and accurate way to determine if that form will be...

I'm sure this will send a very strong message to anyone thinking of importing or using drugs in the future. I expect all drug use to cease today. Five years' jail will cost taxpayers about $1 million. When Nacy said just say no 50 years ago to kick off the "war on drugs", who would have t...

Exactly, the biggest dealer in pot in this country is the federal government and they have the audacity to jail someone for doing the same.

And with Henry hopefully re finding some of that zip he brought to the Pies game to add to the ins, then hopefully we look a little more energetic and electric around the ball.

A horribly miserable cold wet winter awaits that big bunch of Collingwood players who are well into their 30s, They are about to fall off a cliff. Why don't you double down on that bet you took for them not to make the top 8. The odds will be nice and juicy for you Funnily enough, and as you’d expe...

Ten fn years ago Max King who is still relatively inexperienced I'm starting to worry Max is our next Billings. Only way that’ll happen is if Lyon is our next Richo i.e. next to zero chance I'm going to wait for a bigger sample size, he's spluttering at the moment and the biggest concern is his att...

Do you think Billings is NO good? At pick 30 or lower I think he could have been seen as value, at pick 3 for a rebuilding club you kind of want some star power that you can build a team around and can win games off a boot. I noted Jacks recent game against Carlton was really poor in the first half...
