Beveridge makes it difficult for his team when he puts 3 tall roosters into the forward line …all demanding the footy. It’s not like only 1 of those guys acts as the spearhead with a support act and a 3rd tall. They’re all spearheads!! They all want to be the dominant forward. Beveridge struggled t...

Happened to Rory Lobbe when Beveridge tried to play him as a Forward/fill in ruckman..crazy decision when they already had Sam Darcy, Aaron Naughton and Jamara... perhaps Beveridge thought Tim English was heading West. Lobb was Fremantle's leading goal kicker the year that the Dogs recruited him. N...

Could play forward. Maybe what he wants?

I read somewhere that recruiting Battle and Barass would allow Sicily to play forward

That would be foolish. Sicily's intercept marking and ball use is one of the Hawk's best weapons.

Bonner is a prime example of a "temporary filler", who not only didn't improve our side, but actively held back younger players from getting valuable games and experience. Imagine Garcia, Hastie and the Schoe getting extra games. They couldn't have fared worse than Bonner. That is the eas...

No...Didn't get Melbourne or Fitzroy (Bris).
Humbled by both.

Champion Data had rated him as elite long before everyone else realised that he was.

It was left vacant for a few years after Saunders left.
They may have been looking for a longer term option after Cripps decided to go home after two seasons.

Inspired choice to give it to Sincs.

Still has a long way to go before we can even think about using the word "gun".
He has potential, but still has a lot of deficiencies to be successful in today's game. Would have made a great full forward 30 years ago.

Our problems start and end in the middle. Have done for many years...Probably since we off-loaded Dal and BJ. We need a clearance player or two and then some class on the outside to deliver the footy inside 50. King has played injured for two seasons now. He is quality. We've seen it and we know wha...

We'll bring back the ST.K.F.C. if we can change chicken sponsors!

Maybe you're not recalling our history very well!

We were humbled by the OG though. And we're not counting the Lions (Fitzroy)? What the f*** does that even mean OG = "Original Gangster" but commonly used for just the original The first club was Melbourne. I assume that you get the Lions/Fitzroy connection, or do you need that explained?

Keep pick 4 Beating VFL wet toast don’t mean much Did to me. 8-) It's like beating your kid at ten pin bowling with the gutter guards up. We didn’t ask West Coast for a game We played them We kicked their ass; like we should have Indeed we did, but West Coast are barely VFL standard. Take the win, ...

Our game has serious issues when a perfectly executed tackle attracts a 3 week penalty and an elbow to the head cops a fine!

Did to me.

So the Gresh. Kicked a nice goal, stole a goal from a teammate, cheeky monkey; Caught htb a couple of times (slowing up G?); Copped a real solid bump that put him down for the compulsory 8 count. Ok but not anything to regret, I thought. Three months ago, he'd gone from #222 in the comp to #33. htt...

Well done to the Crows for beating Essendon and ensuring that we finish 15th! Pick 4, here we come. Why the excitement? We could either draft the next Bont, or draft another Billings or McCartin. Our track record suggests the later. Do you like to go around letting the air out of the tyres on littl...

Allison has quite a bit to work on from a team first mentality if what I saw at the VFL last week is any indication.
I'd suggest there's a reason we don't see him in the mix.
I fear that Keeler might be in the same mold.

Oscar Allen...He's due for a bag!

For NGA players, wouldn't it make more sense to prevent a matched bid for first round talent? If you seriously want to make the bottom teams better, then allow them unrestricted access to talent. Once you're past the first round, then all bets are off. To make the first round pure, do not allow a co...
