Don't forget bog bozo McDonald from Brizzy.....won two flags!
As for Westhoff, never has a player had their career so completely destroyed in a GF. Scarlet smashed him and he's never recovered the poor bloke.
So much analysis of this piece of play...no mention of Byrnes and Varcoe!
Byrnes in the right spot, in front of his man.....again.
and Varcoe's hands were super clean to pick that up under massive pressure and pass to chappy. Bloody good effort I say.
That was the best actual skill in the...
Re: Sidebottom
Can categorically say that hes no relation to the Sideys of WA. Trust me, I'd know, I'm one of them.
I'd never heard of this kid until a few days ago. I hope he makes it and the (shocking) name becomes a bit more well known and less.....akward....when I order pizza.
well im related to gary, and steele aint related to me.
Would love for him to become massively famous to make the name a bit more recognised and not as...ahem...unusual.
super sidey!
Wherever he plays.....have him coming off the line at centre bounces to....ahem....'shepherd' whoever's tagging Gaz. If he cops a couple'o'weeks, so be it.
You're spot on Pivot.....
this group is good enough to win a Flag, dont fyack with it.
The focus should be on softening the downturn when the window starts to close. We dont want to end up like Carlton/Essendon and now WCE. I think the lions have probably done OK, as have the pies.
What does...
woah woah, easy up on the Perth bashing...The eagles aint perth and Perth aint all eagles.
Yes most eagles supporters are chardonnay drinking, Today Tonight watching, New Idea reading middle class simpletons who 'consume' the football product with little understanding of it, but at least...
Agreed schulz,
Last year things were tense (given the length of time since the previous flag) so I had similar worrisome thoughts all year.
This year, its all a bit more relaxed. I sat back on friday night with a beer in hand ad just enjoyed Jnr kicking ass and seeing Lonergan play well...
Its true that getting his ass up the ground and getting his confidence up with early touches would be great. Not sure about chucking him in the midfield.
Could be realy exposed by judd/murphy/gibbs/Stevens running forward.
Works with the big Pav and Richo because they have the speed. Not...
Agreed. Gone cold on blake. His disposal and decision making skills under pressure are just not up to scratch. No amount of tap ruckwork (which isnt that great anyways) can make up for 3 or 4 bad turnovers every week.
Cant really be dropped yet, but needs to show some confidence and...
Some quotes from post Prelim 2006:
All we really need to do is develop what we already have (a few good draft picks may help also) and we will see success I'm sure.
Certainly a break-out year for Freo, and nothing to be ashamed of going out in a PF against an awesome team in Sydney. I am...
A bit of a differing view.
I was at the game on friday, after paying my $52 for a ticket amongst the freo members. To be honest, I didnt get one bit of abuse, just a bit of light hearted banter normal carryings on. It was actually the cats fans making more noise calling Crowley an effing dog...
I was wondering what is actually involved in this horrifyingly tough AFL preseason we hear so much about...does anyone have a rundown of a typical week at this time of year?
Been doing a bit of pre-preseason running to get my ass fit for the Muckinbudin 4ths and it'd be nice to get some...
Not a dockers fan, but have huge repsect for Longmuir.....that goal was just luck.....really earned respect one close game in Melbourne where he held the bloody team together and the dockers kept falling behind whenever Sandy came on to replace JLo.....(was it the game vs Melb that was...
Just ask Derek Kickett!
I really hope this doesn't turn Mark away form the club. That shit hurts, and no doubt he'll be sore about it over the summer..
absolutely disgraceful. Stokes was too worried about getting the 1-2 handball back off mooney and only decided to shepherd at the last minute.....shoulda been dragged.:p
Have y'all noticed that when he does get run down his opponents are oh so pumped and usually give him a spray? Burgoyne certainly did a few weeks a go.
Its great that he doesn't let it dent his confidence for his next line-breaking run.....its really just a mark of respect. The opponent was so...
Re: Geelong's Weekly Highlights.
agreed, goal of the year.
Somebody needs to take Joel Selwood aside and tell him what a 1st year player is and isn supposed to do. Taking the ball in mid air and selling the dummy before you land, in a QF final is just not on. ;)
At least gazza had the decency...
You could see it on his face straight afterwards. They should've brought him straight off. Neitz tried to come in and fly the flag by BJ just kind of ignored him. Funny how the push and shove really does take two people to work. Otherwise the instigator looks a bit silly.
On the other hand, if...
Pie fans,
Just thought I'd express an opposition supporters view on Ben Johnson. I think he's been bloody fantastic in his public reaction to his stupid act. He admitted it was a reckless reflex act and has shown true, true remorse and concern for Bell.
Cant imagine S.Baker doing the same...
Re: Rooke return?
Nabblett out Rooke in.
A half fit Rooke would be better at CHF at the moment. You'd get a strong contest.
Nabblett needs to kick some goals in the VFL and come back next year - sans headband.
Look, if we are going to be a contender this year we absolutely can not have any passengers. Its not about Nabblet vs Charlie its about Nabblet deserving a spot in the side.
Does he deserve his spot in the side? No! Thats absolute, its not about his worth vs player X or what level of defender...
