A night like tonight makes you wonder where to from here for Sparrow. Clearly not come on as many of us would have hoped. 7th year on the list next year, alot of week to week pressure for him which might see him finally spend some time at Casey.
Long time coming, the stoppage game (our supposed strength) has been missing all year against the better teams and for the first time we've been put to the sword
Lack of outside class, forward connection and a functional forward half was always going to be brutally exposed once the contested...
Probably one of the best first year players in the last decade on our list. Ability to take the ball from inside to out, great speed and decision maker. Will be a star of the competition. I'm struggling to see why people are so concerned with his current output. It's not like Reid or Sanders are...
Who else
One of the few big boys at the club to deliver on the promise they showed as youngster instead of being another classic #FistedForever moment
After the siren goal to win a minor premiership
5 of the most outrageous goals in a prelim final
6 x AA
One of the most likable personalities...
Clearly need to work on elements of execution of the game where the underlying structure puts us 5-6 goals ahead of the poorer teams.
Trent Rivers should have waited a few weeks before signing, the guy is sensational, clearly needs more midfield minutes and has the attributes to be a star of...
Regardless of the result, JVR impacting the game in a way that we always hoped a key forward would. Loves the contest, backs himself and takes a good one grab mark. Hogan always gave a little pause with the two grabbers and others have fallen away to nothing
Maybe we've finally drafted a...
Am I crazy to be happy with being 10-1 at the midpoint of the season, seems like i should be super worried reading this thread.
We looked pretty shaky around this time last year and dropped a few games including against the bulldogs who looked like they'd have our number in the finals
A few...
Really good point made by May in the post match club interview that this is the sort of game we could have lost this year. Made a reference to the Adelaide game where the oppo plays out of their skin
These results are torture to watch but we've rarely played teams that have gone missing for the...
I would think the moment you start pandering to a 2nd year player is the day you've lost it as a football department. Not Roos' and I hope not Goodwin's style
10 wins was what most of us could have reasonably expected, so that should be the bare minimum standard to meet now. The inconsistency plaques the team week-to-week, but this recent win shows the talent and class of our emerging team
Bigger bodies and bigger engines next year will yield more...

Would take a mammoth effort to reach it this week, but Max ready to take the lead for season high hitouts for a dees player 2/3rds through the season!
To be honest I agree with the observation that Watts isn't properly imposing himself on contests
When he goes after the ball, there is no intent to stand over and control it, he is usually pushed off the ball, or goes to ground far too easily under little or no pressure. If you review the...
Most of our wins have come from offloading disgruntled players for first round draft picks
Johnstone for Grimes
McLean for Gysberts
Not massive wins, but those 2 players didnt do a whole lot after being moved on
I don't actually care which one is better right now, but i know which one i'd rather have on my list. We've persisted with Blease and he is finally on the verge of putting together a solid senior season
He will remain a demon in 2012
