An interesting article on the Kade Carey situation appeared today on localfooty.com.au saying he would play with Doutta but would be on the Cats' roster. Seems Geelong is certain their reserves will play finals, but they're still a little way off the mark! Nathan Ablett coming back too - so at...

Matthew Lloyd is an Essendon legend and only he will decide when it's time to walk away. Personally, I don't think it's right now. He's got plenty in terms of leadership to offer the kids coming through. He's also still a very good kick of the ball and a good, strong mark of the ball...

Re: 1. Jay Neagle Thanks heaps for your replies guys. Looking forward to seeing how he goes once he is 100 per cent and gets the call up! Go Bombers!:thumbsu:

Re: 1. Jay Neagle Play Jay, I'm with you. HullD seems to know something, but gave a very shady reply to my question (as in I'm no better off for reading it). I can't find Neagle's name on the injury list and he was brilliant in the pre-season. If he's not playing now, given our monstrous...

Neagle? Can somebody let me know about Neagle? When will he play? Sorry to sound stupid. Cheers.

During the first half of the interview I felt Wayne was on his way to turning things around. However, then came the subtle finger-pointing, blaming alcohol - even though he continually said he wouldn't - and blaming everybody else for his stuff-ups - even though he kept saying "I take...

I wasn't being too serious in my post, to be honest, but you're still under-rating Lloyd BIG TIME. Anywho, have a nice day.

I'll try. Because his ability to out-muscle and out-mark opposing full-backs is far greater than any of the opponents that he will come up against all year. Secondly, because he is the most accurate kick of the football the game has ever seen, with the exception of Scott Lucas from outside 50.

No such thing as a soft flag.

Ah ok, fair enough. Then from now on whenever somebody dies their family should just ask the powers that be not to release any medical information to the public. I wonder if it will work. Surely if the media has to respect one case then they have to respect the rest, too.

Rightio, time to get some bold predictions for 2008 going. Let's try and keep the interest up a bit during the off-season. Further, if you want to do a ladder prediction, go for it! I've been a bit out of the loop for a while now, but all reports suggest Hamilton will improve a lot and...

It's just a hunch, but I'm tipping Brisbane.

Surely spelling is of equal importance... ;) *Proper* not propper..

Couldn't agree more.

A few years ago now, but Brett Allison (I think it was) took an absolute screamer. I've always rated that grab very highly.

I always had a chuckle when I heard the name Mark Zanotti (Bris Bears player), and who could forget Donald McDonald, or was it Ronald, it was something like that. Che Cockatoo-Collins had a cool name, John Gastev didn't.

People dis Lloyd, but those same people, deep down, are in love with him. I read earlier in this thread that Lloyd's accuracy came from taking dives 20m out directly in front. Surprise, surprise, it was a Carlton supporter who said this. Just a quick one, and I'm not able to back it up with...

Let's be fair-dinkum. Somebody who has been as highly respected and entrenched in the sports journalism industry as Happell can surely, at least somewhat, be respected. Secondly, Andrew Demetriou lacks charisma. I just doubt whether I believe much of what comes out of his mouth at the...

McPhee's year was reasonably cold, but he'll ignite this year.

I'm on Stanton, too. My trifecta is... 1 - Stanton 2 - Ryder 3 - Lovett-Murray (chuck in Lovett or Davey if you want to go a pick-four!)

You're spot on. He gets a rough trot in the media. He was fantastic for the most part of last season and he's always been one of my favs at Essendon. He's a natural goalkicker and a beautiful, long kick of the ball. The way I see it, if he handballs too often then he's wasting his natural...

There was probably a touch of sarcasm in the comment about Lucas not passing him the ball anymore. I think you've gone a bit too far with this post mate. Maybe lay off the sherbies first thing in the morning.:thumbsd: As for the 'dont post any comments untill you know what ur talking about'...

I agree with everybody who says we are 'unknowns' in 2008. Let's look at it this way, we took some enormous steps last year - so anything is possible this year. Our older players are really good older players, and providing the kids coming through fire like we've seen Davey, Ryder and co. do in...

OK, I'll leave Essendon out. 1 - GEELONG: If you're being fair-dinkum, the Cats are the team to beat. 2 - PORT POWER: It won't go backwards, so will be thereabouts again. 3 - COLLINGWOOD: Will be right there come grand final time. 4 - WCE: Will be roughly similar to 2007. Should be more...

I'd prefer to give him the benfit of the doubt. Obviously he's dealing with some issues. I wish him all the best and hope he can, one day, when he's ready, come back and play like he did in the grand final consistently. Just preferably not against Essendon.

Without giving away a free plug, there are websites out there where you can own and manage basketball, baseball and American football franchises with completely fictional players and coaches. It's realistic, though, with development, money management and on-court/field set-ups of vital...

I agree, but I'd be willing to take the odds and risk leaving the Cats out of the grand final quinella next year. Not to say they won't make it, though, I just don't think the Cats are shoe-ins. Collingwood will continue to close the gap in a big way, the Hawks will take ground off them, the...

Unless Carlton is a realistic chance at finishing near the top, I can't see $10 being value for Judd. The dominant sides always seem to win the Brownlow these days.

I was on Boooma last year, but he didn't poll as well as I thought he would. For that reason - I wouldn't be willing to back him again. There are always players who don't seem to poll what they deserve, he's one of them. He should have won by the length of the Flemington straight last year.
