EXHIBIT A: Jack Newnes.

EXHIBIT B: No, on second thoughts I rest my case.

Playing an injured Mav all year and then cutting him?

There are only so many games and losing seasons a team can have before the supporters turn. Richardson has had a pretty fair run and largely without success and limited positive development. Sometimes the grass is greener elsewhere. Not sure on Ratten though. Looks like a good No.2 for the rest of ...

That's a huge call. I don't know which bank to take it to. Can I at least stuff it under my mattress? Seriously, though, it would be poor timing, in my view. The only reason I can think they'd do it now is if another club has its hooks into Ratten and we're scared of losing the one guy who's actual...

Sam Mitchell. Take it to the bank. Even though he has ruled himself out of a head job next year? Ruled himself out of the Blues & North job. My mail says that it’s pretty much already sealed. So why not pull the trigger? Not sure if you are aware, but he currently has other commitments for this...

Ruled himself out of the Blues & North job.

Sam Mitchell. Take it to the bank.

They missed on at least 80%

Ok so I have a life. A real life. One with really sick family members and business commitments and a kid to raise. So let’s cut the crap. I am sick of it. I just finished a week of working 9-9 across two countries and I am sitting in an airport lounge just wanting to get home. My long weekend start...

So does Bruce.

Jenkins is a better forward and second ruck though.

If we had a combo or Marshall rotating with Jenkins, Skunk and Bruce/King when he’a ready.

We would be a better team.

"All three have some weaknesses... but when you focus on the things they do really well, and just let them do those things, all three could become genuine top line players." That can be applied to all players really. Dylan Sheil and Adam Treloar aren't exactly in their respective sides fo...

Two goals a game is not too shabby for a guy who often plays quite far up the ground. Especially with the midfielders delivering into the forward line so poorly. He certainly isn't a champion but if Paddy had worked out, he would have been just a depth player. If King works out, he'll most probably...

Some nice highlights of White. Looks like he enjoys taking the game on

Coaches votes from the weekend... Can't believe Richo couldn't find a vote for Gresh and Marshall

My unpopular opinion is that the coaching staff have done well to get us 5 wins at the bye considering all the injuries. But I'm extremely critical of that same coaching staff for playing injured or very ill players. Bruce couldn't run against Adelaide as his calf was severely corked (not quite as ...

You are right, he's not a #1 & does need another big presence to make him viable and valuable in our forward line. Whether that is Battle this year or King next year. If only Marshall had similar mobile rucking partner. Whoever it is, their leading patterns need to be understood & work toge...

Bump What gives me the s***s is that people's opinions and judgements on players are influenced by players poor efforts when they are playing sore or injured. Bruce was best on versus Collingwood and again in our best players in the match against the Eagles. When he is 100% fit he is easily one of ...

disagree with the original post. Bruce is one of our best and will be even better when he doesn't have to be the stop gap for our deficiencies. 50 goals in the modern AFL is not a fluke. His kicking problem is an issue but he is not alone there. A forward line of King, Membrey, Bruce and assorted s...

If King deserves a game then he should debut. Same as other first year players like his brother, Walsh, Rozee, etc. The U/18 comp prepares these kids very well now as does the VFL which is the second best comp in Australia. ... Yes but we're talking about bringing a 200cm beanpole into a forward li...

McGovern and McKay...please. Average at best. Cripps is getting banged up from being no 1 and tagged and the Curnow brothers are overrated. Walsh will be good. But I don't care about the Blues, I follow the Saints. Blinded by positivity Ted. McKay & Curnow will give opposition teams nightmares ...

Disagree. I reckon King could handle the AFL footy cauldron. He is a big and very smart boy intellectually. He will debut soon. Bookmark it. He won't be no 1 for a couple of seasons yet but he will get there. I've got no doubt he will debut. Just wonder if it's better to let him play out in the VFL...

That is why Max King needs to come in and start developing. We needs 3 big forwards - King, Bruce and Membrey. Plus we need another mobile ruck/forward to back up Marshall this off season. Lycett would have been a good pickup. If we bring in King this year to be the number 1 forward in this line up...

Plays injured Plays out of position regularly Plays in an undersized forward line Plays with a midfield incapable of honouring his leads with the expectation that he pulls down 5-6 pack marks a game When he was fit, firing, playing mainly as a forward in a midfield that wasn’t as abysmal with adequ...

Well its time to play king and the million dollar man and any other kids. hopefully whoever replaces richardson after this week will do so. I feel like its all been orchestrated to tell you the truth. Biding time until there is not too much financial impact by sacking him. Still cant believe its th...
