I'd be tempted that play Collard, too. He's getting low possessions but it's mostly because of the atrocious ball movement and garbage skills and decision making by players up the field. He has more speed and skill than everyone else out there at Sandy. It's perplexing that Owens hasn't been develo...

Must win so Ross will no doubt go to experience. Hayes getting subbed out so early might have stamped his card, but I'd keep. Out: Garcia and Hastie to have a spell (managed), Paton In: Clark, Phillipou, Dow I agree, with Dow as the sub (he seems to be only able to deliver for half a game at the mo...

So, someone that works for a player management company tweeted - on his own account - an observation about a team that he has no idea on the inner workings of? He isn't Phillipou's agent. Nor does he have anything to do with the St Kilda Football Club...It's also not clear how close to Phillipou he...

Aggressive trading to get up in draft - North have no big defenders Howard to north with pick swap in first round ( an example of what we need to do) So we then they have a big defender and we don’t? (I don’t think Cordy really counts: he is a utility player and is a bit shorter than Dougal) I assu...

Lyon will be given the heat But how much is contributed by forward coach (Robert harvey) and players themselves? Well, it's always the players who ultimately determine whether a game is won or lost. But Lyon is a control freak, as was demonstrated by his whinge on Saturday afternoon about not being...

Putting together a string of wins and growing the confidence of the young players we currently have would be far more important than having a more valuable ticket in the lottery of the end of season draft. And there's also the question of attracting members and sponsors. We are coming into a dangero...

The tweet was inappropriate, but is it a sign that the drums are beating?

RTB’s press conference performance on Saturday was embarrassingly poor.

Things feel a little shaky at the moment. A bundle of goals against Freo would help.

No chance of him being promoted this week. He was heaps better last week. I don't think he's entirely out of the picture, though.

Clark definitely deserves a call up to the seniors, most likely for Hastie. I'm not sure about Dow. In both the games I've seen Dow play, he has struggled with the pace in the early stages and has only begun to deliver much after half time. At AFL level the players tend to be a little fitter, so the...

Geez stiff 50m penalty on Collard Nope. It was 100% there. Collard has finished off a shocking individual game by gifting the Hawks a win. He should be dropped from the Zebras for their next game. You are tough As I watched it I said to myself “if you spin the Hawks player around one more time it’l...

Sharman playing quite well too.

Phillipou has been good in the second half. As has Dow.

I am sure that he has done more than that. As I said earlier, there are three guys playing for us with headbands who all look very similar, so the stats guys might have misattributed some of his acts to others. Alternatively, perhaps I have done so. Don't try to watch it because we are shocking. Our...

The concept that either or both of Dow and Jones would improve our midfield isn't getting much support from what we've seen so far. Philippou is doing enough perhaps to get a recall to the AFL team. I think O'Connell looks very promising. That's about it so far.

I was vaguely looking forward to this game, but it's a waste of time.

I feel sorry for BM who is presumably there.

He's not out there. I don't know why.

The Zebras are just total garbage today.

Caminiti just had a horrible attempt at a left-foot snap. And Hunter Clarke just got run down in defence which resulted in a goal to the opposition. Zac Jones just stuffed up a handball and a kick straight to the opposition. Patty Dow just missed misjudged a kick to a forward. Halfway through the f...

Get help

Honest to god Teflon, there must be something else you can do with yourself this evening.

BTW, Battle up forward wasn't good. It was a desperate move. Battle is a really good player, but is at his best down back. As is Sinclair. Do any of you remember Alan Richardson's tendency to move Carlisle forward when things got desperate? That's the sort of situation we were in this afternoon. Ros...
