If we can get 2 first round picks from either of the SA teams for Pou then take them and run. I’ve been a supporter of Pou until now, but I am struggling to see what exactly is his point of difference that is going to make him a superstar. We can see it with Wilson (pace and endurance) , Garcia (spe...

No Max King and 8 kids under 21
This game can only end one way

Members is a shadow of his former self Ross is on his last legs Pou has been on a gradual downward slide since round 7 last year. To think he kept Garcia out of the team against the Bombers and for 3/4 against the Giants. Garcia tonight exposed the stupidity of this myth of keep Pou in the team at a...

My 2nd in person game this year
Gather round was my first.
Give us that skinny Norwood oval and the Dogs don’t split us open anywhere near as much - but we’d still lose comfortably

Yes agree Butler using up all his goodwill.
He would want to get a few on the scoreboard this week.
Collard unlucky he got injured at Sandy last week.

if they both come in , (and assuming they are replacing players not injured) and we lose the game, then we are not serious about playing finals this year.

we all know Pou is super confident in his own ability. I'd be fairly certain that he would also think he will be worth a big salary because he expects to be ripping up the competition. Problem is that right now , he is not delivering at the level he would want or expect of himself. So he probably in...

So we’ve established that they play differently.
That’s great news as it means that there should be room for both in our forward line !
Throw the cheque book at Ben and bring him home - along with a couple of midfielders.

Top 5 in the B&F last year , so the boy can play.

Wouldn’t be top 10 so far this year.

i hope we put them on 2 year contracts - except for the big guy in the back left corner - maybe only a rookie contract for him until the end of the year. Looks like he is carrying a bit of pudge around the waist and might need to do a few extra running sessions to prove himself

at the start of last year he was calling for (and taking) some really nice high marks. He kicked some nice long range goals. I know he is focusing more on a midfield role this year, but it seems to me like weve coached out his natural instinct to call for and fly for marks. I feel like weve taken aw...

GWS is going to be a tough ask. You would think a few players would want to redeem themselves from last years EF Pou monstered by Green Butlers Harlem globetrotters rubbish including kicking around the angle from a set shot 35m and not making the distance instead of going back with a drop punt. Not ...

I’m not as bullish as others are on Keeler. He is a smooth mover for certain, and will have one of the best highlights reel of any player on our list - however just doesn’t get enough of the ball and goes missing for large parts of the game. I hate to say it but he looks like a flashier Spencer Whit...

Not cooked yet
Need to beat Richmond this week to stay alive because will definitely lose the following week.
Will hopefully start to get some soldiers back the week after.
Tough game at Norwood oval - it’s a postage stamp and won’t suit our game at all.

It really was like watching a slow motion train wreck. We lost it , they didn’t win it. Sadly missed Henry and King. Carrying too many kids. Also carrying experienced players like Butler who don’t deserve a spot on current form. Feel like that loss may be season defining . Will sting again if we mis...

Looked out of sorts and miles away from his AA form
Hopefully just a once off.

The kid didn’t look terribly out of place.
Give him another 12-24 months and I’m sure he will be holding down a permanent spot. I can see him taking Jimmy Websters position long term.

Bulldogs Macrae ?

Cats at full strength- which they were closer than us to - are going to contend in the same bracket as us 6 - 10. It’s going to be a very up and down year for us. We will lose games because of our woeful goal kicking, we will win games because our team defence keeps us within striking distance. Ques...

A lot of guys looked short of a run - and a few played out of position. For starters , crouch noticeably short of a run , but should get better. Pou is not midfield ready, so we are already in trouble in any game where he has to play as a mid. The great mystery is why aren’t we giving Owens more mid...

Jones also not known as a small forward, and played no minutes pre-season. Would Clark have been picked this week if he was available having also played no preseason games ?. Sinclair would have but then again he is an AA. Jones sounds like he has his work cut out to get back in Ross’ good books bas...

Good luck to the kid. Highlights our lack of small forwards though, having traded out Gresham , we put all our eggs in the Butler basket. Our list managers missed a trick not bringing in a ready made small forward to cover Gresh. Great opportunity for Collard to fast track his career if he can make ...

Sinclair and Windy would be massive ins if fit.
Both can play half back
Sinclair can go for a burst in the middle
Windy can be an extra lockdown small defender if required
If they both fit then Jones plays at Sandy I reckon.
Windy most likely starts as the sub.

In 12 months time we may very well add Garcia and Ari to that list.

Plays round one for mine I agree - unless Wndy or Sinclair are fit. Cordy and Battle will come in to play the key defensive options - but we usually play a running defender on the bench - and we are out of options until one of Windy, Clark, or Sinclair is ready. Ari will have to pinch hit giving Na...
