Re: Coming back

Hayes could be our 25th ‘best’ player But structure wise he’s critical He’s a better forward than Caminiti and a far better ruckman than Owens or Caminiti Caminiti has been woeful this season and was only given a pass for last year because of where he came from and we had no King or Membrey But the...

This one was tough...He chose to go to Hawthorn when injured because they offered him a better deal.

Disgusting that Hayes and Schoenmaker aren't given a go. We are going to struggle to kick more than five goals tomorrow night. They have us covered on every single line. A bit OTT don't you think? If we win they will make a sequal to Miracle On Ice. Hayes and Scho would make little difference this ...

Re: Forward coach under pressure .

I said it when everyone was criticising Ratten's game plan, and Richo before him... No game plan can survive our skill level! It's improved under Lyon, but was deplorable for the two coaches before him. At times during Lyon's tenure, it's been terrible... We started Friday with two terrible skill er...

I'd look at what Geelong do! They are the best team for developing players. Have been for decades. Sydney are a close second. Both have their own reserves team in the VFL that isn't conflicted about being its own team...It serves at the pleasure of the AFL team. We do not have that kind of relation...

Phillipou in comparison looks like a pick 50.
The progression from pick 1 to pick 10 is not linear. Never has been.
Sometimes there's very little difference between the top 3. Sometimes there's a massive chasm.

Re: Wah wah wah

I wouldn't say that Thursday's game was among the worst I've seen from a result view point...It was the effort and non-response. We didn't respond well enough in the 2nd quarter...We kicked unanswered goals once in the first three quarters. But, once again, fell asleep in red time to conceded two in...

True but some of his selection decisions this season have me perplexed to be honest. 'His' selection decisions? Is he Kim Jong-Un? They sit around a table.
