This is very much like Essendon in round 1, competitive start only to completely fall away. The big challenge for this side, is to learn how to dig in and ride out an onslaught, Geelong went bang in that first 5 mins and completely took it away from us On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Remember when we were supposed to have cut back that thin that we might not win a game for the whole year? On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Great win, we were challenged in that third quarter and to close it out the way we did in the last was really pleasing. If we’d kicked straighter it could have been a 5-6 goal win. We really need to get Day locked away long term On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Was just thinking the same thing, both look like they’ve got awful sets of hands On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Regardless of what the end result might end up being, this has been a great response On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Considering the profile of our list, people need to remember that we really aren’t supposed to win too many this year. This is going to be another year of building up those guys that are going to be in our next side to compete while working out which ones won’t be there. There were enough...

Agree however I think that the issue that we may find is that it will be difficult to substantiate whether or not some of these things have actually occurred. The findings will likely be handed down based on the balance of probability as opposed to hard evidence either way. On iPhone using...

Carlton having him as 6 is really only relevant to Carlton, at the end of the day they rated him enough to do the deal so kudos to them but I’m sure they have done so based upon expectations that there will be improvement on last year and that the future pick traded to the Crows won’t end up...

Reviewed a bit of this kids vision from his TAC Cup games, quite like what I saw, looks to have a bit of pace and is evasive, meets the footy at top end speed and used the ball reasonably well by hand and foot, predominantly an outside type but went in and win the footy himself a few times which...

As always the proof will be in the pudding so to speak but I think that we have done very well out of the draft. The additions of Kosi and Walker were really good ones considering the picks that we had. Kosi can become our number 1 key back while Walker has a ceiling as high as anyone that we...

Excited by this one, seen a little bit of this lad over the course of the year and for me he is a guy who has the talent to do it all, is literally the definition of x-factor, consistency is his biggest knock, he is either 100% in the middle of everything or you will forget that he is even on...

For pick 52 this is a good move - seen quite a bit of him this year for Murray and goes alright, is good one on one, can take a mark, uses the ball fairly well as well, as is the case for lots of young players (especially key position types) he has a tendency to drift in and out of games but I...

Far from convinced that this has been a good move, time will tell of course but this kid has oodles of talent disappointed to see him go Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dal Santo and Brad Johnson have us finishing 14th-15th so let’s just pack this thread up now shall we Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Based on nothing but my own inner ramblings but I have a feeling that he isn’t going to nominate the Hawks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agreed that there is a diff in terms of one player not always being a regular vs one playing every week however I wouldn’t quite go as far as saying “unexplored potential”. He played 65 games for the Swans, plus he was arguably their best player in the 2016 GF, there was enough there to have a...

Sydney saw Tom Mitchell as their most expendable mid as well and that worked out pretty well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One of the big frustrations from last night (apart from the kicking at goal) was our poor decision making when deciding who would go for the footy, felt like there were too many times where we got caught out with those “all up but none downs” which Melb guys stayed down for and raffled when it...

I think Burton can look like a million bucks when he has the footy in his hands, clean hands and is usually a really good kick but I think he plays things a little on his own terms, couple of times where he just didn’t have the defensive intent required. He needs to be able to give something...

Agreed, but all things that are down to the players execution, hence my question about the coaches role in this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

On goal kicking... exactly what more can a coaching staff do other then have them taking set shots at training? This comes down to players not executing. All teams have times where they fail to take chances in front of goal, unfortunately for us ours came at key times tonight Sent from my...

Good year but this one stings a bit, I’m sure it will for the players as well, we had chances and didn’t take them, we always looked in trouble once Melb won the footy and spread, their entries had a lot more quality about them compared to ours. Some of the guys we expected to rebound didn’t...

Working hard but both struggling Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Getting our fair share of it on our terms, we are finding numbers when we are playing low tempo with the ball, just falling down a bit when we go inside 50, those misses might come back to haunt us, Melb worry me when they win it back with that spread from the contest, they look too quick when...

Thought that Smith worked pretty hard against Richmond, wet weather with all that pressure around the contest, the Smiths of the world are always going to have a tough time of it. His kinda night though tonight so hoping for a big one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tonight is no foregone conclusion, nothing in footy is but if we lose we lose, I still feel that it’s been a successful season, we have blooded some good youngsters and have seen some progression amongst others. The good thing is that it feels like we are well on track for an assault at our next...

Being beaten by a much better team, when you miss early chances like we did and they take their half chances you are going to struggle. Richmond’s ability to get numbers around the contest is really impressive. This will be a good experience for the youngsters and they will be better for it...

I won’t dispute the Lane hate for the Hawks but to be fair to him, at the time of that article there were more then a few posters on here mirroring those very sentiments about the fact that we looked on the slide and that we had perhaps got our recent list management decisions wrong. Sent...
