It all turned pear shaped in R21 in the 3rd q against the Pies. Joel Smith did his road accident-style ACL - there went our precision kicking weapon off half back. R22 - Lazar does his ACL against Port on the Sunday night. There goes our enforcer Talisman. QF1 - Everiit breaks collarbone. There goe...

1985 Round 10 at Moorabbin v Essendon we were 44pts down (6.8) at 3 quarter time and staged a huge comeback against the reigning and eventual Premiers We kicked 9.2 for the quarter and got within 3 pts before ther kicked the final 4 goals in the final 5 mins of the game (they kicked 6.2 for the qua...

i'm coping by knowing the world cup is about to kick off so who cares about footy for a month! And who gives a rats about the world cup? I certainly don't and like I do with the rugby, league and other crap sports on foxtell, I will simply tune into a channel with something interesting on it. Macra...

Yes, I fear we have become the Fitzroy of the new millennial . The GWS experiment is fast becoming a farce, Gold Coast too, tiger will be a temptation to collapse us into one of those teams and then we are gone. Best we merge with GWS then. Lets take the initiative and push that idea. The alternati...

Great to see Battle in. I agree that Lonie is the puzzling one. Its a good opportunity for Billings to go back and find some form. Also good to see Coffield back in. I didn't think Weller was that bad last week (apart from the missed goal). Overall I think they are good selections.

Membrey
Hickey
Ross
Sinclair
Clark
Austin and Gresham also good

This is what we are reduced to....pecking feverishly over a loss and rejoicing we have morsels that prove all is not lost, we are spot on, we fought so well, got cheated by umps, if only we had another quarter ( we F@cking did...we had 3 of them), there's so much hope now, only positives from here ...

It was a great effort in the last quarter. It made the train trip home with all of the Eagles supporters bearable. A couple of them said to me that we had played well and one guy told me he thought we we would have won if the game had gone another five minutes. It reminded me of our famous 1998 win...

He is equally good on both sides, which makes a big difference. It means he doesn’t have to be super quick.

I thought he was good last night. Seems to have gotten some of his mojo back. Does he use his left side much though?

Hickey was really good last night. Clearly got the better of Nic Nat

Couldn't be bothered reading any tripe comparing Billings to Fiora. Winner of the most ridiculous thread on any forum ever! If you don't want to read it then don't read it IluvHarvey. If you had bothered to read the OP the comparisons would have been obvious to you, but criticizing a post that you ...

In 74 games Jack has had 20 or more touches 37 times . Fiora cracked 20 touches ONCE in his first 80 games. Fair comment and agreed - although I guess that players generally rack up a few more stats now than they did then given the way the game has changed. Billings also scores more often and attra...

I will PM you shortly with my bank details. We can negotiate a suitable price for you to pay, for copying an idea that I posted to FaceBook a few days ago. (I have to protect my Intellectual Property!) money, shares, bitcoin all accepted hahahahahahahahah You can have all the bitcoin I own WellardS...

I hope not, but there are some interesting similarities between the two. I remember the Richmond fans pulling their hair out over Fiora in the early 2000s, much the same as a lot of us do now re Billings. Both were highly-regarded juniors drafted at number 3, both one pick before future superstars (...

Paddy in the seconds wouldn't help IMO, isn't he way too good for VFL standard. Isn't the best outcome for his fitness and development to play out the whole year without interruption, and hopefully with Bruce and Members along side him. If that happens I recon we will see some cause for optimism to...

Paddy is going to be a jet. We need Paddy, Bruce and Members to play out the year together and build a chemistry. Them not being able to play together is arguably the single most reason why our progress has stalled. Tall forward lines will be back in vogue by seasons end and if West Coast win the f...

I think selecting Battle over Paddy this week would be more of an indication we are on track. Looks like Battle played pretty well last week and we must pick players on form alone.

well it's better than the status quo.

True. But in the other hand we would be rocking all over the world

Instead of just living on an island?

I can assure you all that under the current regime there will be significant change within the club. What that change is exactly I don’t know, but it’s 100% reliable source. Lethlean is the driver. Oh great. Another faux 'ITK' telling us all that things are going to improve and some great leader is...

Looks like I picked a good week to cancel foxtel. Watching the Saints play was the only reason I was keeping it going...

I see what you did there.

Glad someone saw it!

He won't run until he's nearly 30

My favourite show on TV at that time

You are definitely not alone there tjs - membership could fall off a cliff if they don’t turn things around this season.
