...will be retrospectively awarded to Damien Martyn (for 2004) after little Clarkie robbed it from him (with some cheap ODI hundreds) and a pathetic ****sucking media campaign. Also after declaring he was the right man for No.4 (after his 'good' mate just got sacked), 6 years later, he continues...

Why? Because on the latest TV ad, Priddis manages to pass it to his teammate 25m away by foot. OTOH, the player had to prop and stretch AND it probably took 20 takes with GGI so who knows.

Haha some funny stuff here. Worsfold expected to make the finals in 08, 09, 10... You know why? Because we have some senior quality. If he did knock back that extra year (supposedly), it's because he thought we would look ok in 2010/11 (whilst Cox, Kerr, Glass, Embley, Lynch were still in...

There's no doubt Woosha isn't exactly a Rommel in the tactical department but to balance that out... you have to remember that when he came, he was like a messiah for the team. He brought something that's hard to measure. I would say virtually every player on that list was committed and got the...

OP :thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu: There are many elements stacked against both WA teams. No-one expects that they will all go away but you expect your CEO's to fight these issues, not go quietly into the night. EG. People say we shouldn't draft tamper. Well the draft is already tampered with ...

I'd say that St Kilda got shown up because they had too many players who can't use the ball well. Malthouse rates footskills and vision as a premium.

Lol Luke Ball can actually hit targets by foot over 30 meters without taking 5 secs to line it up. That quality alone puts a gulf between him and Priddis. He's far quicker and agile around packs. Can actually get himself into space hence his k/hb ratio. His creativity is far higher but there's...

What a joke. Look at their kicking ratios, look at their disposal efficiency. Look at the whole team. Did you see any players with 5k 25hb's 60% ? And that's not to mention their defensive pressure, pressing/chasing abilities which Priddis doesn't have. Outdated player that Malthouse wouldn't...

TBH it does seem the best move to trade Cox-Kerr. It's just the unusual situation of having b-graders suddenly become our seniors/leaders that's troubling. Unfortunately, the massive failure of that middle-age group screwed our small chance of a quick rebuild. If we did trade them, i'd also...

I still say more should've been done. Worsfold and Suma had their eyes only on the flag and just put the problem in the too hard basket. I could imagine a Malthouse/Collingwood doing everything they could to get him back on track one day. Easily a Top5 AFL player on talent alone.Really was...

RE Cox and Kerr, I'd rather hold onto champions if possible and trade only journeymen. Only because i tend to think young players get a certain buzz playing/devlopment wise when they are around. I remember Judd saying how thrilled he was to play with Peter Matera for that year (possibly the...

Lol why are they spinning it like LeCras to midfield is a new idea. We already know Burns wanted him there pre-10 and was overruled. It's also pretty obvious that you need 2 rotating midfields these days so theres plenty of room for LeCras, Swift, Strijk, Shuey, Masten, Kerr, Scooter to rotate...

Haha seriously, who watched Collingwood just play and thought 'Yeah I can see Matty P slotting into that team nicely with his speed, hard running, precise kicking, around the ground defensive pressure, mobility, versatility and vision.' One dimensional mids are finished. If theres 10...

I wish we traded him when Crazy Voss was the only coach after him. Says it all really.

It's a bit rich giving credit to Worsfold for building our flag list. His first game in charge, we already had Cousins, Kerr, Judd, Embley, Fletcher, Braun, RoJo, Gardiner, Cox, Matera, Matera, Hunter, Glass, Lynch, Sampi and Wirrapunda ! God forbid if we didn't have that quality, he might've...

:thumbsu::thumbsu: I like Waters but in the last few years, kicking skills can't be overlooked. If it's just a stop gap until a real gun emerges, then i don't see why not just give it to Cox. I'd rather someone with seniority then pretending we've found our 'new breed' leader when we've just...

Mayneman's Opinion + Using Sandra Bullock in a presentation = Big worry. Are we just chasing anyone with a public profile these days? Is that so it's harder to blame them when things go wrong?

Kerr has had far more problems than he should have due to having Priddis and Selwood next to him. They have zero hurt factor and this leads to more than one opposition player with a close eye on Kerr. If you recall, soon after that Port game, we played Carlton who had 2 players ready to tackle...

Shock horror they've managed to apportion the blame quite well. - Young players haven't come on... (well it would help if you played them and showed faith instead of waiting half a season.) - Metropolis is rubbish... (yeah even though the backline is the only thing that improved throughout the...

I'd say the most promising news was that someone high up at the club was chasing Neeld, the mid coach from Collingwood and sending a signal to Worsfold that his old style plans won't be tolerated. Nothing like real job pressure to cure a stubborn coach. Even Malthouse was forced to go out and...

I'd like to think the damage has already been done and we'll move forward next year. With a Kerr, LeCras, Masten, Shuey, Scooter, + (Swift, Ebert, Pick4) rotation, i see no reason why we won't make the 8 with the Subi advantage. Then again, if it's Priddis, A.Selwood combo Rd 1... i offer my...

So we're aiming for 17th spot? C'mon Woosh, Give us the Priddis, Selwood, Mginnity, Ebert midfield and another thrilling campaign.

God no. I already noticed Scott trying to find his bro on the field despite better options and they ain't the Matera brothers. WTF is Grandpa Selwood on the board or something.

Best 22 is dependent on team balance/total output. One dimensional players have negative effects across the board and should be judged accordingly, not just on stats. Darren Glass, Eric MacKenzie, A.Selwood Shannon Hurn, Will Schofield, B.Waters Andrew Embley - Daniel Kerr - Matt Rosa Andrew...

Hey, it's been a while since we've had midfielders that can actually spot someone up over 40m. They're usually quite common in good teams.

I swear some people would rather us finish last every year and make every excuse under the sun so Pridda can finish with 400 games and 10,000 handballs by the end of his career.

I think if we played it well, then we should be able to get 2 quality players. For one, we finally have the upperhand in pressuring for a trade so we can threaten 'walkout' to give up little. I don't know the contract situations but we should be targetting an A-grader or close enough for our...

Positives - Finally got to see a team that wasn't 'capped' by limited talented players. (well apart from Mginnity maybe) No lack of true leadership despite not having our 3 recent 'questionnaire' captains out there. Pressure on the ball across the ground was far better... could it be we had...

:thumbsu: And i'd still take the Freo midfield which had enough class on its day to match the top teams. Those 5 WC mids at best can play a Cameron Ling/Clint Jones role, not much more. Even Dean Kemp who was just brought on board to help out thinks it's a very long road. The good news is...

Good team. Kind of line-up i was hoping for much earlier in the season. Would've got smashed early but given us a chance for a late season run. As it is, there isn't huge motivation with 2 rounds to go.
