Couldnt agree more. THey've become a great tackling side.
It's just the 100% effort right across the board thats the most noticable. One thing bout Malthouse coached teams is their heart!
The best thing that could happen to Murphy is he gets heavily tagged this year. It'll teach him the most important thing about becoming a prime mover (which inevitably he will be) and that is how to rack up 30+ touches week in week out while having a Stevie Baker type bloke sitting on him.I tell...
There's a lot of crappy brother combinations. One of the best brother combo's though would have to be the Jarman's....Bruce used to give me goose bumps when he called Crows games.

What a ripping show!
I've only watched the first 20 mins and I can easily say it's the best "football show" on TV this year.
Controversial, in your face and the Caro, Hutchi, Lyon and Carey combo don't pull any punches.
Watching Carey and Laidley go at it after the...
True dat...and i guess he did a pretty good job. Not sure what Wells' stats were but deff no influence so in that respect. A win for Lonie.
He would have to be one of the most frustrating players on our list though. Tonnes of potential. I think Malthouse will give him a lot of run-with roles...
Re: Will Walls get the message now?
Speaking of Snapper Head, he just sung the Eagles praises on "On The Couch"...
Yeah that sounds like Wallsy! Hypocrite of the century.

Ok I'm meant to write positve stuff right??
Here goes...
His skills were generally pretty good. Long ranging left foot kicking was his specialty and there was plenty of that on Saturday...
Stats:
10 kicks
6 HB
3 Marks
2 Tackles
His hard ball gets were sensational...
I think everyone's a bit harsh on him tbh. I know we've been saying this for years but he needs more time.
Injuries aside, he hasn't really developed as quickly as we'd hoped but ruckman always take a lot longer to grow into their skin.
As frustrating as it is, we all need to be patient...
Does anybody else think that the 2007 season is going to be very tight? I can see the wooden spooner winning 6-7 games this season..AND... after Round 1. Has anybody's wooden spooner changed? Many had Ess or Carlton...By the looks, they could both be pushing 8th-10th quite easily.
I thought the Sydney/WCE game was pretty uneventfull until the Swan's got going. The closeness in the end made it a much better game though. I was at the Carlton game and there is nothing better than one of the Big 4 Victorian clubs storming home at the G infront of what I thought was a 70/30...
Cloke has been a great pick up. Im happy to see him doing well but you're right in saying that it's still early days. Don't forget Richmond was missing their first 2 ruckman in Knobel and Simmonds. Also Cloke's tap behind his head will be worked out pretty quickly.The tige's played some dumb...
Couldn't agree more. Malthouse intorduced an entirely new game plan last season which was very effective to a certain extent. A year on, I can only see it being executed more efficiently. It required alot of hard running and I feel we ran out of legs after the Brisbane game. Fundamentaly the...
The sad thing I find with anyone who has used it, whether it's every week or everyday or once, all think that they are in control...That's what it's designed to do. The amount of times I've heard people say "I only do it here and there blah blah blah". All they're doing is justifing the use...
While I agree with most of your points I feel it's important to note that regardless of what you or I think, this kind of public persecution will always go on.We all know that there is a price to fame and fortune but it's something that comes with the territory. We've seen many players succumb...
I suggest the Blues have an issue with the elastic around their shorts. I recall Ang Christou having a similar problem running and bouncing through the middle of Waverly a few years back. He was bouncing more than one ball that night.
Not sure if any of you guys heard Robo's comments on SEN last THursday night?Tipped Collingwood to contend for the wooden spoon in 07!!!!!Has this bloke lost his marbles?I used to repect Robbo's pieces but after hearing this, he's lost all credibility in my books.What frustrates me most is he...
Josh Fraser...
Needs to over-take Jeff White, Dean Cox and Sandilands if we're to give it a shake. IMO has potential to do just that in '07.
Ofcourse there's also Pebbles. But he's our most important player every year.
