Re: Ins and Outs
Hopefully Henry is back, probably at the expense of Hastie. I'd also like to give Shoemaker a game in his home state, possibly at the expense of Cordy. Philipou is an interesting one, I was at the game against North and he seemed to be running good patterns, he wasn't really beaten badly in one-on-o...

Re: win banked and move on
The question of forward craft warrants discussion. It was encouraging to see Jack Hayes actually lead toward the ball carrier on a few occasions. This has been lacking, by most, possibly with the exception of Jack Higgins. Max King rarely leads, but rather presents himself as a contested marking opt...

Re: Forward coach under pressure .
Agree that something needs to change, but I'm not sure it's just the forward coach. Our forwards don't mark on the lead, mostly because they don't lead. And the main reason they don't lead is because they're up at the wrong end of the ground. And the reason they're at the wrong end of the ground is ...

Team vs Dogs
Looks like King is out and Zac is in.
Dogs will be without Liberatore and Ugle-Hagen.

Re: Could we get a selection surprise this week?
The surprise I'd like is a revamp of the forwardline. Pick a smaller brigade (drop both Membrey and Sharman) with pace. Butler out for lack of impact. The tall forwards aren't taking advantage of the height difference in the matchups it creates, so try something else. Out: Butler, Sharman, Membrey ...

Re: Saints once again under appreciated by the media

Re: Isaac Keeler
Thought Collard was too small and immature to be selected, but we picked him anyway.
So lets get on a roll, and give Keeler a crack as well. He just might be a unicorn.

Re: Changes for tge Richmond at Gather Round.
I'd seriously consider brining in Schoenmaker for Bonner. Garcia for Windhager seems obvious, but might not happen. I'd bring back King for Sharman. Caminiti just seeks to offer a little bit more in terms of physicality and tackling ability. I'd give Wilson another go. I certainly wouldn't drop him...

Re: Outrageous
Was similar to Plugger and Caven for me. Ran back blindly and ran into a guy leading. Will go to grave saying Plugger did nothing wrong. Wright just seemed to brace when he saw the Shitney guy was in his path Mine is a subtle variation of the Plugger incident. Plugger was at his unstoppable best at...

Re: AFL Dont have a drug issue....
Politics definitely. The AFL is effectively 'bullying' the Tasmanian government to spend $squilions of taxpayer money on a new stadium with a roof. The AFL projects itself as a high level community leader, and is self appointed spokesman for a wide range of community issues. It's important for the A...

Re: Coaches’ votes v Pies
Neither surprised or disappointed to see Wanganeen get the coaches votes. Personally I was expecting Windhager may have been voted best, at least by our coach. In my humble opinion, he made the difference, aside from the numerous possessions, hard ball 'gets', clearances, tackles and 1% ers he also ...

Re: Match Ups v Essendon
They are very tall.
Essendon have 2 ruckman, in Draper & Goldstein and we only have Marshall.
And they have a couple of 2m forwards, although Peter Wright may not play. Cox & laVerde are both very tall.

Re: Max King 1 match suspension rough conduct
Watched the video footage several times. Brad Hill actually pushed Macrae into Max King who just happened to be in the vicinity. King had his arms tucked in and elbow was not raised, and I don't think the contact was even high. Macrae fell to the ground, Max instantly gestured an apology and the ump...

Re: Worst possible start to the season we were all fearing...
Unfortunately the St Kilda midfield I saw on Saturday night makes me very nervous .. Jack Steele is an AFL standard midfielder, not exactly the best in class, but within the top 20. Good teams need 3-4 quality mids, and I fear we are well short of the required standard. We must now hope for the 'mag...

Re: Stocker Free
If anything, I reckon Dangerfield jumped into Stocker knees first, which I consider both dangerous and un-sportsman like, causing injury to the player going for the ball.
The rule, or the interpretation simply goes against the spirit of the game. A disgrace.

Re: Team structure was warped IMO
We had one AFL standard onballer in the middle for most of the game. Carrying Pou at half forward is one thing but having him play the entire first half as a starting mid was a terrible decision if we're trying to win games and make finals this year. Windy and Owens would have been far more competi...
