I fear the absence of Battle will hurt.

and now Webster

The kids are all right!

Can someone remind me why we got rid of Peta Searle and installed this amateur? Oh yeah! The same reason we gave Rotten another two years.

Yeah but they didn't have Selwood, Dangerfield , Blicavs & Rohan so IMO that means SFA

er - but they didn't play last week either, did they?

Alan Joyce was a dual premiership coach - sacked not long after his second flag and went to the dogs and was sacked shortly after that! Was he a great coach from 88-92 Then a poor coach from 93-96??? Most premiership coaches were eventually sacked and or had really poor seasons throughout their car...

spare us. we've already done as much damage as possible going this route in the women's comp

thing about geelong - they always have a plan B. if by some miracle we outplay them in the first half, they'll turn the tables on us in the second half. unless of course we also have a plan B. Although er - I'm still trying to figure out our Plan A!

Butterfly effect We pick Judd We probably don’t end up with Goddard as we wouldn’t have finished 2nd last in 2002 And so on Ball was a good selection (Judd a great one!) Ball got injured, never the same Imo The strange selection was David Armitage over Jack Riewoldt Armo - good player Jack R - cert...

Did we learn nothing from the lovett fiasco?

Malthouse on ABC plainly finds Saint coaching this last quarter inexplicable

Cor dear

You hope it'll be a just win

The most expensive goal ever kicked!

Not develop players

Best 22 every week

Well, I agree with your second point - we're definitely not developing players.

He's been unlucky with injury and fallen victim to what I see as our biggest problem - we just can't seem to develop our players. They come in pretty good, interesting, exciting, whatevs, showing a bit of something... But they don't get better. I can only point to Sinclair and DMac as genuine improv...

What's the story with D-mac? Will he be back soon?

He would've gone all right at a different club. We needed a champion and at his best he was only ever cream on the cake.

Windhager any chance for nomination this round?

would welcome him back in a heartbeat

i preferred the 80s when we celbrated like crazy four, or maybe, on a good year, five times a year. those wins felt like mini-premierships. ah those were the days. You mean when we celebrated the Little League wins - or winning the toss of a coin - or being within a Bulls Roar at Half Time??? I fee...

I'd like to see a clear and simple gameplan - let's have inside players and outside players. And let's make sure they all know which is which.

From the recent past, I'm one of those who firmly believed Luke Dunstan was a heart and soul player who'd epitomise the club ethos and lead us to glory. I was hugely relieved we dumped Paddy McCartin - thought he was a liability (even though tbh I didn't see the upside of Petracca initially) but loo...
