Still would have done more than Dempsey

His best game was as a tagger on Jason Horne Francis a few weeks back. So what do they do? Play him as a defender

Lost at the selection table - again. what am i missing with Knevitt? For the few games he played last year he looked the goods. Surely hes worth a try. Bowes as the Sub was Dumb. If they want to rest players should have been Dempsey instead of Parfitt. Oh and why draft a ready to go 26 year...

Still think people are harsh on Neale. Yes I get it watching seemingly simple dropped marks is frustrating. But you dont see how humid and slippery the conditions are on the TV. And players from a cold climate arnt used to it. All our players struggled to mark and pick the ball up at one stage...

I know hes got a long way to go but at least he plays ruck around the ground too

Was brought back into the team far too early. Coaching staff got that one wrong. Would have been better off having a look at Mannagh and Hardie

And actually keep him in the team and reward performance. Dont want another Mumford situation

Because we have Hawkins, Rohan and O Henry as forward marking targets they would prefer Cameron in a more mobile role.

Or just picked Grundy up in the 2012 draft when he came up at pick 17, instead of drafting ruck failures like Orren Stephenson and Hamish McIntosh. haven't had a decent ruck since Ottens. Stanley is a premiership player which we are grateful for but, if he wasnt winning hitouts he used to be at...

Whats with the jumping too early in the centre bounce all the ****ing time? Other guys kept doing it too.

I was at the game. Couldnt work it out. Can someone explain it to me?

He doesnt get enough of the ball to be that type. Needed his pressure from the start

Geelongs F50 entries were atrocious

Wrong choice as sub IMO. Needs to be an impact player. Would have been better playing him from the start as his forward pressure would have been valuable. Also keeping Jezza in the forward line more may have been better so he wasnt gassed by the end as Hawkins confidence is shot kicking for goal...

Which is why he missed those shots at the end. Try taking a 50 metre set shot after running for 2 hours.

Bit over the hard on for Max Gawn tbh. He was expected to beat Stanley and he did. Should have had an obvous free paid against him in the last but not even considered because hes Max Gawn

Can only beat what's in front of you

And when we finally have a ruckman to compete for his spot he plays out of his skin

Since when is a 36 point defeat an 'honourable loss'? Listening to Sam Mitchell you would think they only lost by a goal

People are excited because we havent had an A grade ruck since Ottens.

BT is only suited to radio which is less formal than TV. He's a bit like Roy and HG doing the rugby where its more acceptable to talk rubbish and try and be funny on that format. But on television i feel like the producers tell him what to say and it just falls flat. The commentators have been...

Would have saved 10 years of ruck problems if we just picked up Grundy in the 2012 draft instead of McIntosh

Sick of people sooking about it. Nothing worse that wasting F50 entries by trying to be 'unselfish' with overuse of handball, etc

To me Richard just looked like he was having a laugh about It but the nuffies have no sense of sarcasm of course

This belongs in the unpopular opinions thread on the AFL forum - but I dont get why everyone talks up the MCG for the footy. When it gets a crowd of say 90k its a fantastic but when you get games when the stadium is only half full its such a dull atmosphere. I do miss places like morabbin when...

I have been watching old games recently and no one plays the hook shot anymore. Used to be much more common and used to be one way to take on a bouncer. I cannot for the life of me understand why some players NEVER do it? Its like they never learned as juniors. Do yourself a favor and watch...

t Ive noticed the 'hook shot' was more common back then and theyd often go for 6. Thats how these batsman protected their head. When they learned cricket as kids it was before helmets were invented (for cricket). Thats one way to protect the head. Will Pikovski take note

Not to mention thats another way the game grows and gains new supporters. The casual observer with who knows nothing about cricket doesnt have access to it

How about posting both line ups? Havent been able to see the opposition squad anywhere

On Picovski just needs to learn how to play a proper hook shot to protect his head
