Re: The need for speed in our midfield

I heard a rumour that RTB took Seb and Crouchie out hunting the other day. RTB allegedly said, "Three go out, but only two come back."

Can anyone confirm? Tony 74?

Re: Phillipou

He was the youngest player in the competition last year. His form in the first 2/3 of the year was punctuated with highlights that caused all the excitement. I agree, he dropped away in the latter third of the season, but I put that down to fatigue and the opposition putting more work into him. For ...

Free to Danger was contact below the knee. It was a shocker but he kicked a point. Actually - not below the knee - on the knee - as in Danger kneed Stocker - not stocker diving in front or sliding in.

Re: Phillipou

Reading some of the rubbish in this thread and the OP itself, provides a great insight into the type of thinking that has ensured this club has won just one premiership.

Re: Another season of being of just a sh**ty football club.

We're better than what we showed last night. Huge on effort, but rusty on skill. Still, we always give the former, while we can improve on the latter. The hillbilly "Dad's Army", will be no pushover down there this year, either. Now can anyone teach us how to kick straight in front of goal...

Re: Matthew Allison

Where should he be played? And don't say Sandringham. Too obvious. Seriously, I haven't seen him play enough to make a judgment call. Those who have, let the rest of us know what is his best, or most likely position, if he gets called up to the seniors.

With Dougal doing a hammy, and his performance today, he must be a rough chance to debut in round 1. RTB will probably go with the conservative approach and bring in the experienced Cordy.
