Wasteful disposal again, and his effort didn't seem to be as intense as others.

yeah but that's because you have no clue

Might have to have a word with him. After the hearing,not before of course.

how's that gonna help!?

I'm sure you have a few years of his chrissy and birthday presents you need to catch up on - now's the time!

wasn't enough in it. Very heavy hit but he didn't change his line, just didn't pull up hard enough. fine

you can sign up on afl.com and watch the replay there. I think the first week is free or something, cancel your subscription after you watch the game

marshall!

So you're just gonna say f&*k you to "the doubters" for every player copping some criticism? Gunna be a lot of threads. Where is the Longer one? Billings is still a bit frustrating because even tonight he did some weird things with the ball. And yet often things come off even when he ...

Not sure if Paddy can run 3k?

um...

Up who? A third year, ex-No.1 pick would be expected to tear it up against poor AFL opposition for christ's sake, save that input for an analysis thread or something, we're just trying to celebrate and enjoy our boys putting in a good effort. It's not needed and this is why you piss everyone off al...

if we play as well as we did last weekend against north, swans, dogs, hawks, tigers, dockers in perth, etc, we win. Geelong are a very good team, only bettered by adelaide and gws. We will blow some teams out of the water and make finals

I've had my qualms with the 'mart, that I'll go into a bit below, but to the posters ragging on this thread, what did you think it was going to be about? Why even respond if you think it not worth your time? I think football is a way for a lot of people to escape the day to day and embrace that ol' ...

Bruce. Bruce is a great player when he's firing. He's not firing and hasn't for some time. He's playing a similar role to membrey but to less effect (using the eye test). Statistically he's going at 3.8 marks a game. That's down from 5 in 2015 and 4.5 last year. He's also going at 1.4 goals a game. ...

oh and gilbee called his game 'outstanding'.

19 touches, 9 marks, 3 goals, and ironed out anyone in his way. Tick

All I know is what the experts keep telling us: 1. In general, players take 60 odd games to get right at AFL level. Sure there are exceptions but that's the point - they're exceptions. 2. Big guys take longer. Paddy's a big guy who has played only 19 games with multiple interruptions and no continu...

No more sub 180 cm shorties please - well not with our first 2 picks anyway. Prefer tall fast midfielders but it looks like there are lots of Key position types this year. wouldn't be unhappy if we took a tall key defender also. Yeah Imagine if we got another gresham. Urrrgh, not for me. I've heard...

he moves surprisingly well for a bigger bloke, agile. Decent kick too.

As for Billings. No one (that I read anyway) on here called for Nicky Dal's cuz. I also heard (read?) that the Poodles have said that they'd have taken Billings ahead of Bontempelli. That said, Billings looks like one of those types who will improve as the team improves around him . He also seems t...
