Hayes could be our 25th ‘best’ player But structure wise he’s critical He’s a better forward than Caminiti and a far better ruckman than Owens or Caminiti Caminiti has been woeful this season and was only given a pass for last year because of where he came from and we had no King or Membrey But the...

In a few weeks we get a lot of players back! Hopefully not too many more get injured in the meantime?! Clark - 1 week King - 1 week Henry - 2 weeks Webster - 1 week Wood - 1 week Paton - 2 weeks Crouch - 2 weeks Hayes - playing VFL Dow - playing VFL That’s 9 players in the next 1-3 weeks returning ...

The opposition coaches have worked Lyon's game out after one and a bit seasons. Similar in a way to 2011 where the strengths of the game plan of 2009/2010 were picked apart by the opposition. Yesterday's man I'm afraid as I feared when they appointed him as coach again. If opposition Coaches worked...

I don't think we're going with 4 big defenders. I initially thought Howard (or Cordy) might play forward, until I realised Membrey, Sharman & Camminiti are all still in. Josh Battle had a huge part in our comeback against GWS when he went into the middle in the last quarter. We couldn't use him ...

It might be Dougal. I think that'd be a better option.

Great news! Any word on how they went?

Out: Butler (inj); Membrey & Sharman.

In: King; Dow & Howard (as a forward)

Another cop out. We took it to GWS, we took it to Collingwood and beat them, we came close to Geelong. With the same level of injuries. Todays' performance wasn't injuries. It was much more than that. "Emotion doesn't get it done". Maybe so, but it can certainly lose you the game if you d...

I don't know Carl Ditterich and I don't know the person making the allegation. So I have no idea as to the substance of the allegtions. Unfortunately, I can't rely on a Criminal charge as substance, as the Police often press charges even if they barely have a case. Given that it allegedly occurred a...

Owens was definitely up the ground more in the 2nd half yesterday and we were using Hammer as 2nd ruck Also saw a bit more run and movement from Pou with a bit more kicking than usual Well I wouldn’t be surprised if Phillipou becomes an A-grade or better midfielder, but I reckon it’s a couple of ye...

I agree that Owens ideally should be around the footy as an inside mid. I also don't think Lyon is a fool and there may be a good reason why he hasn't really played there yet. Has anyone considered the possibility that Owens doesn't yet have the tank to run through the midfield for any longer than h...

I find the lack of news about contract signing a tad concerning…we are showing faith….playing him…coach loves him …I don’t get the hold up If I were Phillipou and his Manager, I'd wait. If he goes up a level during the season, then he gets a better contract. Phillipou does strike me as the type of ...

No recreational drug is performance enhancing, particularly in the context of match play. So it shouldn't be any of WADA's (or whatever they're called) business. I actually think the doctors that helped their patients cover it up, acted appropriately and perfectly ethically. I also support the AFL's...

Rossy has this effect on opposition Coaches.

f***!!! Massive loss, there isn't a replacement. Without him it would've been a lot closer on Thursday. We may not even have won it.

Phillipou will be a gun, I have no doubt. Our objective is to build a Premiership list. So you get him to 50 games as quick as you can by playing him. He'll learn more and quickly, playing at AFL level rather than the VFL. The same applies to Darcy Wilson. There is no skill issue, workrate issue or ...

When re signing, if you think you've got improvement in you then you hold off. There's no bargaining power for Philippou to be signing now. String some dominating games together and demand twice as much. You have to back yourself in, and he will. That's how Freo lost Henry, something they're going ...

His goal last night was a bit of a fluke, but it will give him a bit of encouragement. I reckon Ross is focusing on teaching him positional play and he’s in a bit of a McQualter-style negating role ATM. He’s doing ok at it: he seemed to keep his position and tried hard to pressure his opponents. Th...

Geelong will finish 9-14th So we just lost to an average team - who were +19 i50 Now we have the reigning premier licking their wounds Whether they finish 9-14th remains to be seen. At the moment at near full strength and on the back of their first full pre=season in years, geelong look as good as ...
