I think the last few weeks the game has been played mostly in the opposition forward line and he’s had to be more accountable in a congested area and not able to drop off as much. Teams are putting more time into nullifying his influence.

Whatever the reason is I think the strategy should be to put the cue in the rack for this year and do what needs done with a view to round 1 next year.Playing a couple of games half injured won’t win the premiership this year and won’t do him any good either.

One thing I picked up was he mentioned that the young forward line Cominitri, Poo,Owens and King wasn’t able to reset once Richmond got a run on and that he wasn’t able to send the runner out with messages.Perhaps this is where Membry or Cordy perhaps earn their spot I think a few people mentioned e...

I noticed Brisbane also played Fort who is usually their second ruck on Friday night against Sydney, maybe to stretch the defense maybe they will do the same this week.

I think he’s an ok player and his problem is there doesn’t seem a permanent position at the blues for him,reminds me of our Battle a couple of years ago couldn’t settle into a spot.
Who would Silvani replace in our best 22 ?
Got enough depth need more starting 22
No from me

So I was watching Telly earlier and an ad came on featuring poor Paddy Cripps (Carlton must be paying peanuts so he has to shop at cash converters and do ads) as well as Petracca, Cameron & Danger, anyway got me thinking Pickett could score some cash doing ads ,first thought was Crimsafe doors,t...

You would have to assume Gresham’s manager must be whispering in these journos ears seems like every week he’s linked to a team.
Is this to push up the price or to get StK to commit?

It must make you wonder how much money he is being paid by Richmond surely he would not need to do robberies on his days off cause he needs the money.

It seems more umpiring decisions are becoming a toss of a coin you see the same act paid either way many times during a match or over the weekend. It seems they have forgotten about the protected area after a mark. Still surprised they paid that push in the back in the goal square against Buddy usua...

I was thinking if windy is having trouble grasping running patterns as mentioned in another thread then he should be playing as a run with player not neccessarily a hard tag but he will learn where to run to by following and hopefully nullifying key opposition

I don’t see who he replaces in our side, he’s no CHB.
We need to recruit players who are upgrades on our current 22

Anyway did anyone see his before the game interview on the boundary? I think it was shown on a fox show ?
Went something like…..I hope the boys aren’t thinking about their bye holiday and laughed that he’d already had his flight booked.
I wonder if he sensed they weren’t fully tuned in?

Yes I am guilty of hanging it on Carlton only to find our clubs performance making me hang my head.

I reading something the other week about the Suns and academy prospects going first round getting enough points and wondered about that interstate clubs.
We have to wait for Collingwood to have an academy kid they want then the rules will change to suit

Relax after today they’ll probably beat us

I thought their skills were better all day except for goal kicking.
If they kicked straight would have been the same as the crows.
What hurts most is that we still could have / should have won it.

I think Ross wasn’t interested in going into the process if they offered him the job he would have taken it and they would be better for it.
This place would explode if McKay was our full forward kicking with that efficiency

I like bringing Sinclair in the middle in bursts to change it up if he was in there full time he may well be negated / tagged.

I noticed Paton on Toby toward the end that’s his spot if he plays just lock down.
It was noticeable the cleaner skills of GWS going forward compared to us.
Really need to get more goals from forward entries and time in F50.

I think it’s good tying up a group of good young players
Right here right now he is in our best 22

I reckon ‘steak knives ‘Dempster has been one of our best recruits , pity concussion issues shortened his career. It is debatable if he is in our best 22 but is defineately is in our best 30 which makes him valuable . I reckon that guys like this (injuries / consistent form) should be on a base rate...

I think as far as the backline is concerned if you make Wilkie Howard & Battle accountable there’s no one else to come over the top with a spoil or intercept mark. Coffield was good at that and able to defend also. Mason Wood was coming back and helping out but I don’t think he is the same playe...

Well edited. Who got the nomination again? By the time I read all of that I'd forgotten. :) [/quote] 😅 I tried to copy and paste the link. That was unsuccessful, this was my next effort. [/quote] Like Clint Eastwood once said “ a man’s gotta know his limitations” That’s why I never try to post a link

Is it just me or are kangas the biggest divers it worked first half lots of frees and ducking the shoulder to get high contact

So how does Milne go does he play CHB as listed or do they line up differently ? I assume father/ son possibility in the future
