I picked Zac as a star,during the nationals,he took Rayner to the cleaners in big moments,people on this board ,evidence the immature reaction to Ely,who had a sensationai impact when he came into that nationals side, have lots of say so and not much do so !Cox,would be our most significant...

You've opened a favorite can of worms on that topic Pete. Basically Graham Campbell did a sensational job as coach,first of the reserves, a premiership ,then the following year,a night premiership .Fitzroy had recruited massively ver a few years coming into 1979.However ,Campbell, returned to...

Yes the Lions small brigade, led by Irwin,Wilson,Allen and Harris,ran amock after half time.Another young star who played well in that game was Lorenzo Serafini,who took care of Blight,whoad to be moved.The Lions really fired up after Keays was hit behid play by a frustrated South Australian...

This is one of the best posts on the board.Its imaginative and reasoned,and I agree with it !Its a waste of time picking best 22 now. There is much blood to go under the bridge,before that is in any way more than a guess,and an uneducated one at that.There is a queue of contenders lining...

Seem to remember Leon's first game was against a strong North at North.He had a sensational game on the wing,possibly against Schimma,and we won easily.Leon was a magnificent long kick,until an injury curbed that,but he was unbeatable one on one.That game was 1979.

Was referring to the Collingwood guy's posts mate,sorry if I mistakenly crossed the lines.

Pointless taking half backs for the sake of it,if the quality ie not there...there are no Witherdons,or even Coxs in the top echelon this time,but great depth in mids,therefore Answorth is a good choice later on,referring back a year.

Others preferred.

Smith has great acceleration, its the first 5 metres that counts,and he has great power, with that comes his ability to break clear .You are way off the mark on this one.

Disagree. The draft will be very much influenced by where the bid comes on McFadyen .We are looking for linebreaking back half talent,but if they are not there when our first bid happens we'll move on.There are no Witherdon or even Cox quality in that category. Therefore we will be looking at...

What impressed me watching him at the Nationals ,was his ability to influence games and situations ,much as Zac did last year.

I am impressed by Ely's power,acceleration and fast hands,no worries, I'd take him.

For the record .Number 7has been worn more times than any other jumper at the Lions.I pointed out to the club,and was supported by Melbourne office recently that more thought could be given to number allocation. 7 is an especially valued number having been worn by Bunton,the only triple...

I spoke with him after the Richmond debacle,and said I thought it was tremendous how he played every contest as if scores were level in a grand final,he was the only one who did. He responded, well that's how you've got to play mate .Love him.

Great call on Cox.I believe it is crucial he fires next year as he offers qualities we desperately need, in skill,line breaking rebound,and versatility,especially in the back half.We are far too slow at present,and Cox,Cameron and Bailey will all hopefully hae great seasons.The other great...

You raise excellent, thoughtful points.I have recently mentioned to the club more thought could be given to this matter.For example ,more games have been played in number 7,than any guernsey.It is the greatest Fitzroy Guernsey, worn by Bunton,Ruthven,Irwin,Clarke,etc.I believe it has been "...

Thanks mate,love your pseudonym!McFadyen, will be covered,wherever he is bid on and that makes good sense,he's very exciting .Hope I'm not wrong there. Otherwise , I think a running,line breaker off half back/wing,and another versatile mid....as Noble has forecast.I honestly dont know who they...

Jones,sorry.

Saw him twice during the nationals,and he was outclassed.One paced with very average skills,just what we dont need.

Brings only limited experience, cant break lines,fairly immobile,and incredibly injury prone.Have watched him often with the doggies,too limited.

I've seen McFadyen twice only,but in big games.He was outstanding, strong,versatile and with a maturity beyond his years,in temperament and physique.Iwont be surprised if hes bjd on early in round 2,and I would expect us to counter. Berry Idoubt,will attract an earlier bid than that.

Mayes,Lester and Bastinac are candidates who have been too generously indulged.

Kevin Murray loathed Bill Dellar,nearly as much as John Nicholls and Graeme Donaldson.

As long as we get McFadyen, along with Neale,its all good. Incidentally,thethereq1re are young guns like Stocker,who will likely fall in the order due to injury interrupted seasons.We could still get 2 or 3,very good players,even allowing for the sacrifice for Neale.

Throws these wide handballs anywhere,really loose,a forward not a true mid,and should only be in the center square after the game.

Two excellent calls.

Zorko,is not a captain's bootlace.There are 3 or 4 potential great captains there but it would be unfair to call on them. Hodge,is obviously filling the vacuum.Harris may be .almost ready but not from full back.Big problem

A And tne usual anaemic centre sqjuare!!!

F Fagan has done great work in tne organisational areas witn Noble perhaps the key player however Fagan is a dreadful selector, and match day coach.Hodge,should be coaching.Today was a great opportunity, to bring in talent.....Lyon,Cox,Allison...and what do we get,Lester.Our recent...
