I sort of hope we don’t go overboard about a ruck this year

The security of being a regular player may help Parker develop his game
Plays a role where anything might happen, has certainly been up and down, week by week, quarter by quarter

Certainly not trade bait to me He has a flair not seen with us for a few years Someone to get excited about on game day Train him correctly and and he may become anything, except captain Lonie appears to be the one who shows leadership on the field Trouble is he must be hampered lately as he is not ...

Give a few on the edge a run and see how they go
Everyone would be aware if it comes unstuck

Blues appear very athletic and tall. Which of our players could be said to have beaten their man today?

Not Scott. They played the clip of Roo trying to come off the ground with a crook shoulder and being attacked by the Scotts
This was after the game show in Sunday night fox

Sam Mitchell would be good but may not want to stay too long.

Would be great if Gubby could ring in his mate Whitfield

The AFL needs to hold an investigation into the performances of umpires. They could start by allowing commentators to call out incorrect and missed decisions. Betting on sport covers a giant range of options these days ie particular performances in a particular quarter. Perhaps they should hand thei...

Later in the game Acres looked absolutely stunned
and angry at a decision against him
You don’t normally see it in players body language

Surely Gubby Allen should be able to make this happen
What else is he here for?

I thought both his and Long’s early games were the highlights of the year. If his disposal seems slightly slow then it must be the time he takes to ensure accuracy. I’ve always been a fan and am pleased he has really stepped up this year where I would hope he can begin to feel more comfortable in th...

I'd also say Long, Lonie and Billings have X factor ability.

Don't think the pint was that small, was a little surprised that this was the way they set it up at the time of offering, but has worked out to be a better way in the end

IF Lonie was getting a game each week he would make a valuable member of the leadership group. He shows a good understanding of the game and awareness of those around him

I would love to see him at FF for the Suns. He could express his leadership right through the team and have them all 'roaring to have a go'.

I think I would prefer Steele now

no.

Yes!!!!!

No.

I reckon stuff it Go with the three that we apparently are linked to, trade out a few, eg Sinclair, for good round two picks and run through some of these high end trades next season when the opportunities arise We must be getting close with some much better coaching coming up and make sure our bett...

I would expect that having lost yesterday he won’t want to leave
Had they won there would have been a much greater chance
He would probably consider his work at Collingwood as unfinished business if he is the man we all think he is

Lonie appears to show more leadership and reads the play better than many of our players. He is also prepared to put his body on the line for the team
Another preseason to build some more and he will be better
I would favour keeping him over some others, ie Sinclair

He will be 28 before he plays a game for us

I am really concerned with the mention in a few threads now that some of our players are wanting out I had thought that the new assistants were appointed mainly to entice Gaff, but it may now be to improve relations with the existing list. There should be two more and hopefully they will be of the L...

For me I feel he would better off going somewhere like the Swans where he can develop his forceful finger pointing and angry look as a trainee coach.
I get the feeling he would be so different to the rest of the team that it would undermine our development
