What are we supposedly giving up for Liam Baker? Shocking outing tonight against Freo.

I was a “no” to trading for him before tonight but this has just reaffirmed my view.

NOT SO SWEET​

This should have been underperforming All-Australian ruckman Tim English’s statement game. Port Adelaide ruckman Jordon Sweet spent the previous four seasons playing exclusively second fiddle to English as teammates at the kennel.

Instead, it was yet another sour day for one of the few remaining restricted free agents. Curiously, English started forward as Sam Darcy went up against Sweet at the opening centre bounce. Sweet’s tap to Ollie Wines to set up a forward 50m stoppage goal to the Brownlow Medallist looked more like Polly Farmer than a player who eked out just 11 out of a possible 63 games as a Bulldog.

English will never be Shane Mumford, but last season he recorded at least 20 disposals in nine out of his first 14 games. But English has had 20 disposals in just one out of his past 15 games. One of his 17 disposals on Saturday was a silly sideways kick to Nick Coffield with Mitch Georgiades breathing down his neck.

English is not worth $1 million per season, as colleague Mark Robinson contended pre-season. Even in that All-Australian year, English only finished seventh in the best-and-fairest for a club that missed finals.

He was far from the Dogs’ worst against Port Adelaide and did kick two goals. But it was a sweet reunion for the South Australian who the Dogs wanted to keep on their list last year.
 
Just watching TRSF on the AFL website.

Kane Cornes talking about North "Their fans are starting to come along for the ride".
Official attendance: 17 781.

Last year Cornes slagged the club off when we got 37 000 against the GC.

fair enough.
 
Gonna call it now, we're gonna finish last again this year, but on %. North are gonna beat us again in Tassie and we ain't gonna win another game for the rest of the year.

Our remaining games are: Swans, Carlton (no chance), Geelong (hobart-low chance), Richmond (good chance), Eagles (hobart-good chance), Bulldogs and Hawthorn (hard to predict teams).

That should put us on 16 to 20 points, maybe a bit more depending on how good/bad Geelong, Dogs and Hawks are going. I think that would put us 3rd last, Saints still have games against Richmond and West Coast as well.

English ruck work sounds like bailey williams in getting flogged every week .

At least English can run around the ground picking up possessions and kicks goals .

Barnett seems to have gone backwards this year . First year cat B rookie Coen Livingstone seems to be a better ruck already
