I'd take both Sholl and Acres, if possible. If only one, I'd take Sholl.
While Acres is an overall better winger, and more physical, Sholl is a much better ball-user. He lowers his eyes and hit targets regularly, while Acres tends to dump kick it high. Works OK for Freo since they have an...
I'd try him at FB in preseason. Decent in air and at ground level to lock it up when the ball falls so we dont get killed by smalls, plays with desperation, is physical and a decent kick. Could play far worse players behind the ball in DEF. His tackles tend to stick as well.
Would be a good...
I for one am looking forward to the 'punished Crippa' story arc. If he grows a grizzled beard before rnd1 next season it will just top it off.
Crippa if you're reading this...

Vossy didn't know who the club whipping boy was when he signed on, so probably visited this forum for some advice

I'd go as far as to say it does the opposite. It encourages players to forfeit their own safety and recklessly contest for a 50/50 ball without protecting themselves/ go in against clearly stronger players. You get concussed, a fresh player is subbed on and rival team loses a player for upcoming...
I'd be targeting both Scholl and Amon. Need 2 dedicated wingers, will give us the much needed run and carry / chase on the outside when we loose ruck/contested ball. Would look like a different team.
With Jones salary, and any delistings, we could afford them both

Player 1 half commits to a contest which he had an option to pull out of when he took eyes off ball to see Player 2, goes in without protecting himself, does not position adequately to fall safely if bumped (trained from childhood to do so), hits head on deck and sees stars. Very unfortunate...
Wait so if AhChee doesn't hit his head on the turf, gets right up from an identical contest it's not a problem? AhChee took his eyes off the ball to look at Cripps before the contest, so knew exactly where he was, and STILL chose to contest without adequately protecting himself by turning his...
Reckon Walsh doesn't get up. Was mananaged through the game after hurting himself and performed excellently, but he will be sore today.
Or maybe not, since he's a freak

JHF says 'its him or me', NM sack coach, JHF leaves for SA anyway. Reckon this will happen. Poor Noble.
Sneaky tenner on NM this week though

Blues should have received nothing. Neither should NM. Neither should any team tbh
Blues didn't improve until the club culture changed from within. Priority picks can be a curse. They allow a toxic club to kick the can down the road a few more years without having to address the real issue...
Crows have a similar level list but play for the shirt, every week. They try, and won't get any help in their rebuild. Neither will WC, for the same reason.
Why should NM, or any team, get an extra reward for not caring? Can anyone watch NM and honestly say that they are competitive and trying...
Wet weather predicted in Perth on Sunday. Means change in tactics.
So I'll be going in with cheapest GA tickets, but bar-hopping along the lvl 1 concourse under cover for 4 quarters. Solid gameplan

Hirdy felt really deflated
As ASADA were getting frustrated
He tucked into an upper
In place of his supper
And his pupils slowly dilated

The Bombers couldn't win in September
So started "training" early in November
Jobe took some jabs
In Dank's sneaky labs
And now his brain just can't remember
Always hard to play when you lose consistently in the ruck, since you are positioning to defend the opposition mids from the start of each stoppage, in an attempt to shark the tap to advantage.
Can be done, but bloody hard work, more so since 666 rule meant you can't stack the edge of the...
Opposition rucks have just learned to belt the ball right over the contested area and then we get beaten by run on the outside. It's that simple. TDK needs to step up the physicality, and if he can't win the tap at least ensure the ball drops into the contested zone.
That's the difference over...

Hurts seeing half of our reserves team lose by 15 points to a full strength 3 time premiership team, with the umpiring goin clearly against us. Hard to take
