I'll say today after watching Dawks 3 peat they are a great side but if the Dominator was in that 50/50 1st qtr Cripps v Isaac Smith the laughing Hyena would be waking up now at the Epworth….sorry footy was tougher back than and I smith would be waking with the stars….West coast played like pretty Private School footballers….got the wrong result but gee they were nice guys eh?
Yeah I missed the teams…2 Blaines in and Davey gets another run…plus Jamo Back
After watching Tommy Fields left foot 80m barrell from a kick off at Etihad in the NB's on Sunday…I'd bring him in as the kick-off specialist….what a bomb…..Nifty Nev his dad was a precision left foot drop punter for Bombers and Swans and racked 200 games up but I never saw him unleash a bomb like junior did Sunday…awesome….watch the U tube if u haven't seen it!!
Oh Please please don't select Davey Ellard ever again….OMG he's probably the nicest guy and a hard tackler and was a MM pet…but he coughed it up 5+ times and missed 2-3 half chance goals which smalls have to take…Probably a great clubman but really a list clogger ley's see what Boekhorst and Holman have to offer with full game time
Tex was a 50 goal forward 4-5 years back…remember the hanger on Carlisle Bumbers at the G?
WTF have we turned him into?….under Ratts he was a run and gunn half forward doing major damage now he's been transformed to a hesitant running half back going sideways….Sheeesh we farked up some good players over the last 8-10 years…we've ripped out the soul of a bunch of attacking players with flair….makes we want to weep
Sorry…guys I posted this warning 2 years back when we got Buttifant as the steak knives in the MM deal…when I spoke to a senior Collingwood playing coaching staff member at the time he said that they were happy to see the back of DF..reckons they were 6 months behind other AFL clubs for fitness at the time and had to double the workload for 3 months in that offseason to get the list up to the required level…we were great at good 4th Qtrs under Ratts despite our skill deficiencies and almost made a Prelim after that shocker no free v Tex Walker in Perth……..cant be unfit and have no skills=17th spot 1 and 5……..players way too soft…Gibbs and Murphy 2 touches Q4…no correlation?…..I reckon we are majorly unfit…Thoughts?
Back to the U/16s?…thats good hope I can be part of the next Carlton dynasty.>>…??? could be appropriate for our timeline…..only started on the website when I ran into the Sheik at Milson's Point station 12 years back on the way to a Baggers game in Sydney………back in Melbourne now and never seen such a disparate club…total rabble
Gerard Whaitley stick your head up your clacker…argues for 1-2 for Lewis hit and 2-3 Hodge…u dog u wanted 4-5 for Yarran….Lewis and Hodge have been snipers for 5 years…cost Murphy 10 weeks broken collar bone…..what a wanker…...
I mentioned Gibb's ponytail the other day……Looks like an LA Real Estate agent….. what a tool…stop taking the 700k and get a proper haircut and get your hands dirty like last year…when u gave us a proper year and won the B and F…………
WTF….Wood and Warnock in the same side…OMG and the Boult dropped….forward line was Ellard as our target after Hendo went down…..what a joke…didn't Walker kick 50+ 2-3 years back?…yet he plays back flank…
Is coaching that hard? Sheesh….build a goal to goal spine and work around it…I'm still gagging on Kane Lucas pick 9 soft outside shirker v pick 12 Daniel Talia All Australian CHB…makes me puke…thats massive incompetence on list management
Liam Jones OMG….what a joke….this guy was useless at the Dogs playing 2nds because he was a waste of space…can't kick won't chase..and drops 1/3 marks…we draft him and get all the hype that he's training the house down and he's awesome….faaark I'm sick of this pre season crape on dud recruits…..he is a complete spud
Message to S Trigg……I've been a member for 10-30 years…saw my first GF in 1969 been OS and Interstate for 15-20 years and considering rejoining..when I see that sort of stuff served up today hard to re sign……Club wants to go 50k plus eh? sure….. I'll probably fold in as I love the club and sign up…but when these dorks like Gibbs and Boekhorst come out with ponytails on their heads with big numbers…(Gibbs yes Boeky no)I crack it….yes I can be a hypocrite as the Doormate had the headband and Brad Pearce played OK in 1995 GF win…….bt when we are playing bottom 12-16 and these blokes prance around…why should I get inspired to join the club?
Can someone tell Bryce Gibbs to lose that Ponytail LA Real Estate magnate look on the 700k salary and looking at his property P/f rather than kicking to a 3/1 up the corridor Q2 when we are 22 points up and changing the momentum of the game after a soft defensive free>>>>what about slotting that goal from 40m instead of handing off to 2UE who luckily kicked it….wher's the leadership there??
I know u won the Band F last year…but get a no.1 haircut and go and get the footy and play harder….I'm over you overpaid pony's
See what it's like to get a real job on 25k washing cars?….i'm over these overpaid wankers
Interested in the forums faithful on ranking our players out of 10 on their ability to hit targets 30m-50m…..think we just lost a 2-3 in Mitch Robinson….
Hawthorn seem to have developed a zero tolerance policy to any players on their list that can't execute basic foot skills in hitting targets….hence back to back flags and looking a big chance for a 3peat
I would rank our best precision kicks currently as 7-9 ranked from 10 as
Gibbs Murphy was Scotland but retired…. Mensal Yazz
I'm scratching my head to get anyone else in that high bracket…any thoughts?
Butchers in the 4 and unders
Armfield Casboult Bell Curfew Lucas gone Warnock…if he gets a kick Carrazzo
lot of average kicks 5-7 amongst the rest including Simmo unfortunately..great courage but high ball drop…like Carrots…like Bolt…poor technique kills us…why do they turn up each year after a summer where they can refine their skills and turn up with the same crap skills…got my head in on this
actually who cares if we get pick 4 or 3…we'll pick a dud player anyway with our elite recruiting panel or turn a good player into a dud……something at least we show excellence at!
