Having a quick think about matchups this weekend against the Kangas. I think we should play Harry O on Jones but i am struggling to find a suitable matchup for Thompson. He seems too tall for anybody ... maybe Brown should be given first crack? Also Harvey always seems to carve us up ... my...

Totally DISAGREE. Just because he is elusive and breaks tackles doesnt mean he shirks a contest. I thought he was probably in our best 2 or 3 yesterday. Most of his possessions were in the centre under heavy pressure firing out handballs. He is clearly in our top 2 or 3 in terms of...

I dont understand all the hype and worry about why we wont go all that well this year and that our defence will struggle. I cannot see any reason why we wont improve on last year. Firstly ofcourse Clement is a big loss but he missed a lot of games last year, as did presti. If Wakelin can have...

Psd Do you reken we will target anyone in the pre-season draft??? I dont know how keen i am on the idea but would it be worth picking up big lance whitnall and offer him a 1 year contract on peanuts and see if he can get himself fit ... we could play him at centre-half back ... might be a...

I think we should shop him around for something but if nobody bites we should definately retain him on the list after buckly, licuria and clement have retired. We have to be careful we need experienced players to guide our youngsters.

This is not a rumour but just a question of whether the pies would look at trading for Johnstone and what would be willing to offer? I only ask this because i heard his name being thrown around a bit and i wouldnt be suprised if Melbourne would be willing to offload him if the price is right. He...

Re: Cameron Wood - your main target? I havent seen enough of Wood ... but does he have the capability to bulk up and compete body for body with Cox, Ottens and Lade? From the pictures i have seen he looks to have a similar physique to guy richards and fraser ... who both have seemed unable to...

I dont reken he has shown as much as Reid ... Reid looked super impressive in all his games, especially considering he is the youngest player in the comp. Will be a superstar. Having said that Hanson will also be very good

This might sound a bit silly and you might not agree but i would think about throwing the captaincy at Thomas. He thrives on the big occassion and handles himself very well with the media. We could build the club around him and he could become a champion captain for 10plus years. Maybe if bucks...

Just wondering what everyone thinks about Goldsack as a midfielder. I reken he should be given a bit of game time next year in the midfield ... may to start of as a run with player on the taller strong marking midfielders like Goodes, Embley, Hodge, C Cornes. I reken he can build a tank good...

I think Cox has the early lead in taking over Jimmy's spot in the team. It's been said a fair bit ever since the news broke but we coped very well without jimmy for 2/3rds of the year. I wouldnt mind seeing 2 of cox, anthony and brown comming into the team next year and goldsack being given...

Might be a bit too soon but if we have no obvious choice i wouldnt mind us thinking of giving the captaincy to Thomas ... he could be a 10-12 year captain and lead the dynasty. He is a franchise player ... someone we could build the club around. He speaks very well in the media and seems to have...

Surely Tyson Goldsack must be a chance for a rising star nomination this week. His last month of footy has been extremely impressive and I definately feel he deserves a nomination. Against Sydney he was awsome (holding O'loughlin), and his run and dash has been so impressive against Hawthorn...

He would have to be a good chance to pick up a nomination for the rising star award????? Surely with a month of good performances he deserves it.

Is the forecast for rain?????? I reken if it rains it should take Gherig and Reiwald out of the game ... but it might bring their midfield back in a bit ... they are pretty slow and we have been moving the ball so quickly so will that stuff us up? Who is better off if it rains...

I almost fell off my chair when he picked the pies to beat st kilda this weekend!!! He just tries to be contraversial ... especially against the pies which is dissapointing as he was once a champion of the club.

He definately must stay he has the potential to be a very good player in our team. Does everyone forget how he performed for the 2nd half of last year in only his second season of afl??? for the last 10 games he was averaging something like 17 possessions a game and kicking goals. He is quick...

He looks the goods ... has the height to play down back but i wouldnt be suprised if he ends up as a midfielder. He sort of reminds me of pendlebury a little bit ... maybe only in looks but i think he could play a similar style to pendlebury in the midfield. His disposal was good last night. If...

I think Didak is due for a big one which will help. If Rocca stands up and creates a contest i think our smaller players in didak, davis, swan, burns, thomas and pendles can kick a lot of goals for us tonight and win us the game. Looking at our midfield roatation i reken we can mix it with them...

Week need Lockyer through the midfield though been one our best all year. I would definately play Lonie ... he can play on a tall. Im worried how we are going to cover Nick Davis, Oloughlin, Schnider, Buchanon and O'keffe.

The mommentum from the Robertson free kick in the last quarter was the thing that killed us. Definate free kick to us ... instead a goal to the dees and then next second another centre break that turned into a goal and it was almost game over in 1 minute. Also Rocca got killed by the umpire...

The best thing about him is the way he uses the ball ... you watch he never wastes a possession. Also loves the way he plays in tight ... he looks like he should be easy to tackle but he is so elusive. Future champion.
