I thought Murdoch was a spud and wouldn't make it. Wondered why so many games were persisted, Didn't really do much for a long time. Had a bit of excitement which got him noticed, but never really did more. Then bang after playing 50 games and getting a lot of consistent games given, he is now a...

Shattered he got delisted before he got a go. But if I do remember he did get close a few times to debut before he got injured. I thought he would be decent as he had some of the best defenders in Lonergan, Taylor and Enright to learn from while practice on Hawkins. I see him being very similar...

I'm a bit disappointed in some of the comments on Smedts. I think he did ok actually. Wasn't flashy like some other players but he was solid for a NAB cup game in the backline. The talk was their. His body positioning in contests looked better and the repeat efforts. Smedts did the little things...

I just wanna see this from Billie again. Last years NAB cup he showed improvement before breaking a bone in his leg.

I think everyone is being to harsh on Smedts. Lets look back at how he went 2010 - Drafted 2011 - Didn't play all year due to hip. Started preseason during the finals. 2012 - Like he said the expectations were to high on him and it got the better of him. He tried to do more than he could. 2013 -...

I want Conor McKenna. Irish kid but since we already have one he would go Rookie cat A, and wait till Blitz is officially promoted.

I was going to make a tread about our game plan and where I think where we went wrong, but ill post it here. I think where we went wrong is that we have become to conservative and therefore our ball movement is slow. We need to go back to risk football. The style that won us 3 premierships and...

Yeah Motlop is a deadset AA star but Boyd could be an AA key forward. Boyd and Shiel are not unproven, but I agree the Melbourne one would be the unproven risky one.

Not trying to get rid of him. Love him. I dont think we will ever get a high pick to get a key forward like Tom Boyd. Also with how valuable Hawkins is to the team it wont be bad to start developing another key forward with all the new youth. Just throwing it out there. Food for thought. Im not...

Ok I got 4 trades that would be interesting but wont happen Trade option 1: Motop for Tom Boyd Trade option 2: Motlop plus pick 18 ;) for Melbourne Picks 2 and 3 (or 3 and 4) Trade option 3 Motlop plus first rounder for Tom Boyd and Shiel Trade option 4 Motlop for Tom boyd + 2nd round pick 1st...

But neither Simpson or Hmac are relief ruckman. They are both number 1 ruckman and they split the duties in half. Of course everything splits in Half. And Blitz is kind of the relief ruckman. Jumping has nothing really to do with the stat. If you watch closely the other ruckman jump past the...

First of all are you aware that Hmac has been playing with Dawson splitting the hit outs (sometimes Blitz takes away a few too). Also the 3 you named are all solo ruckman.

I'm shattered but when I look back at last season Vardy wasn't a huge factor. Yes he helps but I don't think it means that's it. I think Scott and co will work it out. We were 2 meters from making the grandfinal, finished 2nd on the ladder after having no ruckman. The way Freo played we would...

Mitch Duncan we also got from a player (Shane Mumford) that departed.

I think the outside perception of Billie is different to the internal one. I think some are too quick to judge him, just because of him making the media a couple times. He is 21 and just having fun. Also none of our other players have been as hyped up as him. He even said it got to him that...

This may be a stupid question but how does Caddy average more possesions but average less contested and uncontested possesions. Just like the AFL site when you rank teams on total stats (in one category) and average are different.

Can anyone give an update on how Luxford is going. Just came to mind after the article calling Dunstan a man child but he is only 85kg compared to Lux who is 92kg. Lux being such an unknown I just wonder where he is at.

That's not even the issue, that he pressed him for the pass. That is our game plan. I think it was that he just kicked it long rather than Hawkins on the lead. Hawkins wont get out marked and game is over. Corey had time and space to see it. It was inline where he kicked it. Hawkins got in front...

Just thought I would add is that the two losses with him were against Adelaide and Brisbane. One after the siren and one by 2 points. Also I need to stress Simpson did the right thing and play on. If you read "The Mission" they explain how important it was for us to stick to the game plan no...

These are some stats I found and I think our game plan is fine. Just need better efficiency Key Stats: Inside 50s conceded per game 2nd Time in forward half differential 1st Opposition score from clearance 1st Inside 50's 1st Goals kicked 2nd Behinds 1st Total disposals 2nd Total kicks...

2 Things that we need and would have been the difference last season 1: A healthy Ruck (Simpson/Hmac) 2: Bartel on the ball in finals

I'd love to know what their actual heights and updated. I hear so many different heights for players. Jade has been said to be 192 or 194. Would also love to know how tall Hamling is now if he has grown.

I feel like everyone says he is like Mitch Brown (Conolan) are saying that because he has red hair and wore number 1. He is nothing like Brown. Brown was a mid who had a massive growth spurt, then played forward. Conolan is a forward. Not alike. Also Zak Jones really is what we need. A tough...

On his profile on the site they mentioned he did his best work down back. Even though he had 4 weeks where he kicked like 15 goals and one of those weeks where he kicked none (against box hill hawks) coz lake was down back. Also watching him in that freo game in the NAB cup. Did well, I was...

Opinion Varcoe and T.Hunt for Troy Menzel from Carlton

The thought I had that I think would get the deal done was Simpson. But I like Simpson and don't want to loose him. Averaged 3rd most hitouts in the 6 games with less game time than the other two. But why I think they would take it is because they have him as ruck, which lets Kruzer go forward...

Blitz and Hamling. Some of you may have heard me call Hamling as a future AA Defender. They were the ones I was saying to watch out for a long time (since they got signed). Love watching others like Smedts, Thurlow, Caddy, GHS, but they are everyone's boys

With the whole scenario of trading with GWS for Tom Boyd. I was wondering what would we be willing to give up to get Troy Menzel to our club. Should we target him??? I think yes. I think we need one more talented/creative midfeilder of that mold and I think he is perfect. All we need is then a...

I thought there was a fair bit shown by Hamling. Good hands, speed, athleticism, didn't over commit on players. What I think he really lacks is just Confidence and Size. You heard it here. Will be at least nominated for AA in the future if he play defense. Big call

1 week not enough. Club suspend him for 3. Its not the first time and it was just selfish. Stupid. Needs to learn his lesson.
