If he grows a heart and forces his way into the team I can see him replacing Embley in the long run. If not, he cost us practically nothing. I'm pretty happy with this surprising trade.
He'll also slot comfortably into our prominent eyebrow wingman brigade of Gaff and Rosa.
I like the way he plays, he impressed me at WAFL level. I wouldn't lose any sleep over a straight swap for Stevens, or a three-way trade to the same effect.
Ha right, I thought he was mid-180s, closer to Selwood. Very happy to see him back in the line-up, seems a quick turn-around for a clavicular fracture.
What possessed NM to challenge I'll never know. The meltdown is pretty funny though, particularly suggestions of an investigation into WCE drug testing :D
It seems every time I switch over to this show the topic is 'boat people', and last night was no different. The same arguments are repeated ad nauseam from both sides of the spectrum, it's tedious to the extreme (but this is probably a discussion for another thread). The inclusion of tweets in...
The reason players such as Waters are widely lauded for their bravery when backing into the flight of the ball is because these kind of contests can occur in our game. Had Lynch been a fraction of a second earlier he would have gotten hands on the ball, and it would have been play on- Lynch was...
Yes, and I think part of the reason Darling was dominant on Friday was due to the Hawthorn defense and coaching staff being Kennedy-conscious. Lynch will never have this effect.
I agree completely with the bolded part. I'd also add that had NN avoided his few rather conspicuous quiet games then the selection committee may have had no choice but to put him in the team.
I am extremely excited to watch this incredible player dominate in the blue and gold for the next...
I've never understood why Vics and West Aussies have this hatred for each other. We all love the same sport, if anything we should be ganging up on those dastardly New South Welshmen and their Queenslander rugby-loving mates :) . Seriously though, if it makes you feel any better the whole WA uni...
This is one of the things I really like about Nic Nat, he is confident enough in his talent to take people on yet understands that he needs to work to realise his potential. Separates him from someone like Laurence Angwin
Fantastic post Quinz, addresses all issues. I've often said that the differential is largely due to Eagles being a well-drilled side that doesn't give away many free kicks, and the stats seem to support this
If we aren't loud then there are criticisms of crowd age and lack of true passion...
Swan has a knack for kicking goals with that weird-looking action of his. Kerr is more talented for mine, his best as a midfielder is better than Swans equivalent, however Swan is very handy in the forward 50 and will probably be effective there in his twilight, ala Brad Johnson. Good vids, I...
I like your thinking.
Carlton's capacity for the quick break has me a little worried - it is one area that WC have been stung this year, and if they are complacent they may just play Garlett into form, not to mention the already-in-form Betts
Cannot stand these. As for the bold, what is the origin of 'dukes'?? I have a pretty good grasp of anatomy and this doesn't make any sense to me at all
Its hard to begrudge a guy for wanting to play where his family are basically legends, especially when he seems like a pretty decent bloke. Just stings that the Eagles put a lot of development games into him only to see him play his best footy elsewhere. Oh well, if everything goes to plan with...
Just on this, the role Glass plays has changed; he no longer plays on the main forward, and didn't last year either. I certainly wouldn't have him as the FB in my AA squad. He does, however, perform his new role on the second-best forward very well, and I would place him highly in the list of...
Interesting..

I would like to see Stevenson rewarded, but has he had enough time to recover?
"Just KICK IT!" .. *shudder*
The worst people are those few who sit near the interchange, wait for the player to come to the bench and then yell abuse at them. A lot was directed at Masten last year, disgusting behaviour that wouldn't happen outside of the stadium
By this stage of the season last year, Gold Coast had won 2 games. GWS has won 1, against GC. There is every chance that GWS will follow a similar course to the decline of GC later in the year and next year, as their players are found out by the other clubs and they fatigue.
Also, I'm not...
