Form and run home suggest we are still well and truly in the hunt. Freo North Port, GC, WB and Carlton. we should win 4 and possibly 5-6. We get top 4 and we have atleast 2 games at the G to make a prelim. Lets remeber back to 08. we wernt the most dominant team that year but we did what we...

Re: Dreamteam Supercoach Questions - Post here Right now Hodge.. Ive had Mitchell all year and hes been great. but with Hodge now fully fit i would pay the $6,700 to upgrade if they didnt take a trade off me.

Why didnt mitch wallis line up in last weeks game up at gold coast? hes not down on any injury list, has he fallen out of the 2nd 22 or was he just being rested? anyone know what his progress is, im guessing no chance this week but more so for the next month? really dragging the chain...

Maybe I dont know anything but.. Why was Liberatore dropped? he was in good form early in the year, and even though he shanked a couple of kicks last week I woulda thought getting games and experience into him at this stage of his career was crucial. Also where the F is Mitch Wallis? he...

They do need to be more consistant in their findings and no doubt they will push to improve the system before next year. How Kosi only gets 2 Corey gets 0 and Trengrove 4 I do not understand, IMO Kosi was the worst and clearly dazes Duncan and looks like he means too, yet cops half the...

Re: What a waste Disagree I dont think its metallity that lost it for us, Geelong are a quality team, and as Sam Newman said thursday night it was a toss of the coin game. Unfortunatly once again it doesnt fall our way. From a supporters POV is was frustrating to see us set up like that. Any...

what do u mean after GC we have Bombers at the G Friday night and this is followed with the pies. with 2 games at Auroua and 2 big games at the G Player management is crucial over the next month. Hodge was poor last night. So was Burgoune. but the fact we lost by a kick with our Captain and...

All last night I felt the same thing and still cant believe we let it slip again.. After having time to ponder the result and put things into perspective I dont think things are as dire as I first thought, and our season is still well and truely alive. Roughead out cuts deep, But we have...

Terrible outcome losing Rough like this and really does make the loss hurt so much more. The injury aside, the positives from last night about our set up clearly outweight the negatives, and if it wasnt for Podsiadlys dominance in the first half probably would have been right ontop. Thought...

With Thomas, Swan and Beams out of the midfield it would be reasonable to presume Didak will play more game time and also spend more time through the midfield thus getting more points? I also read somewhere he is starting to hit peak fitness. if this is true at $270K he is the bargain pickup...

How many more weeks will tapscott miss?

Breust IMO didnt do anything to warrant an ommision. I thought his work up forward was quite good and he looks a likely type. Keep him in, youth is whats given us the spark this year so why change? Surprised theres not more talk about Whitecrosses game. He was the cause of atleast 3-4 costly...

Will Chapman play this weekend? If hes named Im bringing him into Supercoach, and possibly DT aswell. They will win without him and Im thinking they could just leave him out or sub him to keep him fresh for the following rounds. anyone care to give any insight?>

Rash, uncalled for and nothing short of untrue. I did mean Sunday silly me and much apologies. There is a clear a rift on this between anti and pro Ellis on this board and I really dont understand why. If hes running around Saturday so be it, however I will be astounded if he gets ommited...

far too Risky for mine. McEnvoy might be young but he can play, he'll be a top 4-5 ruckmen over the next couple of years we dont need tearing lowden a new one just yet. I liked Roughead in the ruck last week and he seemed to enjoy the responsibility and new role. I thought we were screwed...

Terrible rebuttal. hes 23 years old and would still be getting a game in atleast 15 of the current teams with Collingwood and maybe Geelong the only ones he might be stiff finding a possie. go to the game on saturday and watch his output. He may not chase the ball like others but i assure you...

He does opt for the short option, and probably too often. But when you break our game down this is how we are coached to move the ball out of defense, hense hes doing what hes told to do. Id love to see him run and carry the ball with a raking long book ala D.Thomas, but he plays through the...

Re: Dreamteam Supercoach Questions - Post here Break Even of 143 this week in DT suggest wise move is to hold off atleast 1 more week. Hes in my radar aswell. He seems to be running into fitness and form although other posters on this board are suggesting hes not improving adequatly which...

Ellis is in our best 22. He rarely makes clangers and can play through the backline and also through the midfield. Watch a live game and he is always sacrificing his own game for the good of the team. Ladson uses the ball well, but is short, not good overhead and not really quick. He has a...

wow.. if there is 1 thing to take away from that is that we are well and truely due. having played at aami 5 weeks ago will help our cause with familiarity of ground but that is a damning statistic. If we are good enough tonight it breaks, we come home with the 4 points and look to next...

Re: Dreamteam Supercoach Questions - Post here Holyrioli is right, the Friday night captain is too risky cos it makes or breaks your weekend. The thought of a glorious start to the weekend too often clouds your better judgement, and results in you waking up saturday morning with a sense of...

Its amazing how quickly everyone has jumped on the suckling bandwagon compared to pre season. Like shepp23 I am not too worried with Suckling out. he has a delicious kick and that kick, handball recieve, kick handball recieve kick down the spine against geelong caused rapid blood flow below...

With Barker going at the end of last year and Cameron coming in I was wrapped as I thought it was the end of a poor 2 years for our forwardline. 6 rounds in, nothing much has changed. It seems more clear to me its either Big Al's doing or the players themself which is causing structural...

Kipster what makes you think Lowden 'has the makings of a star'? I can remeber him from juniors and the only thing he had going for him was that he was increadibly tall. he had little ability and was not quick. he was a far fetched development player with a big ? next to him. There is no...

Apologies if this has already been said but 3 things really pissed me off watching the game live against cats. 1. its become clear to me our fitness base is not up too scratch for the gameplan we try to play. We powered out of the blocks and were sensational in the opening 15 minutes of the...

No he doesnt. Its clear we need more spark from new blood if we are going to be a threat.. We know what Murphy delivers. He can play a role on some medium sized forwards however as soon as they are too quick, too tall or too clever he get panst too easy. He also offers little to nothing in quick...

We all love buddy when hes taking marks inside fwd 50 and kicking goals. This is when he is at his most dangerous to the opposition, no question. Problem is he is not a big contested mark player, rarely crashes packs, and is super predicatable. Hence he drifts up the ground to win a cheap ball...

Off the top of my head I cant actually recall the last time we were beaten because opposition key forwards have fired in a big way. Walker kicked 4 on us round 1 however it was in no reason we were overrun. Our 'backline issues' have more to do with defensive issues further afield than the...

Re: DREAM TEAM/SUPERCOACH - Please post ALL queries regarding Dream Team/Supercoach/Player Injuries aledgedly Wright is sposed to be a real gem, and with him being subbed last week, could be a very sneaky pickup next week as I cash in one of my other midfielders. 1/ is this a good idea? is he...

Dispite only winning by 7 we were never really in any trouble on the weekend IMO. We were 4 goals up with 7 minutes to go, and if the margain remained at that I think peoples perception of the game would differ. NO ONE NEEDS A REST NOR SHOULD ANYONE BE RESTED! we are in the middle of a 10 day...
