Re: Seb Ross

Seb plays like the outstanding kid you see playing in the under 14s. At that level, it’s all about banging it on the boot and gaining territory. Not good enough in the AFL. Look what happened when he tried a little dink to Hill with minutes to go against WC. Ball went sailing over Hill’s head and ou...

Re: How do we Miss out on the Eight

wrong only 50 odd points in total! I suspect a loss by us of 3 goals and a win by Melbourne of 3 goals would bring us pretty close together. There’s not a great margin for error. Any loss would likely put us at serious risk. It actually depends on more than the margin. A 10-point loss, for example,...

Re: Time to get ruthless

Great post Teflon. Interesting to note that the players worth persisting with are either kids or recent inclusions. There’s a remaining rump who are not part of the future and need to move on. In comparative terms, this has already been a reasonably successful season. Probably met reasonable expecta...

For his own sake, should not play again, at any level.

And, at risk of sounding churlish, was never going to be good enough anyway.

Re: Paddy Ryder jump at last throw in 1.20 to go

Watching live I was sure it was a free against Paddy.

Might have been influenced by the fact that he gave away three in space five minutes earlier in the game. Needs to be careful.
