Robert Heatley Stand / Re: 2013 - the year our best players went AWOL
What FB is saying has a lot of merit IMO - we have plenty of talent on the list that is not performing to its potential and if it did we could be sitting a lot prettier.

However, to go on to win the flag I'm convinced that we need about three very good experienced  players; a KPF (maybe Hendo?), a KPD, and another class, hard-bodied mid. And I agree these should be of the extrovert type - even captain material.

These are the types we need to chase as priorities for next year, not so much the younger untried variety, however talented.

@Thry

Agree re. Lucas, I'm also more optimistic about him. He is showing more and more and will turn out OK for us I think. He is also less panicky now and I think is toughening up a bit.

Cachia is a great prospect also - posted earlier about him and he looks like someone we will get a few good years from.

N e 1 hear MM's presser after the game?
Was listening on radio on way home and they were asking why Watto hasnt been getting a game.......I nearly drove off the road when MM said that Watto's form ALL YEAR has been very encouraging but Jamo and hendo were doing the job for him.  His form encouraging ??? :o

I cant take MM seriously any more after that. Cudo's to Watto for last nights effort. It wasnt awe inspiring but he did " a " job and passed. Hopefully he can keep it up and prove to everybody that he really does want to be a Blue. ;)

MM just feeds the media whatever he likes... protects his boys from scrutiny (individuals that is) and sends the media off on wild goose chases and seldom gives anything away. I love it. He must laugh down his sleeve when he gets back to the rooms...

What's that Joh BP used to say - "Feeding the chooks"?  ;D

I don't get the negativity about last night's win. It was a good, solid win... one we had to and should have won. They threw everything at us and we had the answers. The twin talls up forward were both terrific. And when Eddie came on he showed some of his old dash.

Another big test is against a mob who like to beat us up... the Kangabies. Huge game.

I'll just see how they go v. North before I get too optimistic - I've been burnt once too often in the past by getting too far ahead of the real situation.

IN THE BAG COOKIE!!

It will be a much harder and higher quality game, but still a win.

4-5 goals.

Hope so mate!  ;)

Aside from Watson, who I'll keep my powder dry on for now, I think our major weaknesses, based on last night, are:

Armfield
Curnow - maybe OK as a tag but awful disposal
Carrazzo.

There are obviously others who could be criticised, but replace the above with three hard at it quality players and we could be looking a lot better.

Wow two games back off a long layoff and Carrazzo is a weakness that needs to be replaced?  :o

Carrazzo may well get back on song, let's hope he does. Some also like Curnow's and Army's work. But I still think we need at least three much higher quality players on our list and, Watson aside for the moment,  based on last night's performance those are the three who I would be looking to replace in that 22. By season's end that could have changed.

Just finished watching the replay and jesus....the commentary :o :o :o
Whats a stronger word than biased? >:(

I like how they continually blamed us for starting all the scuffles and how MM would be demanding it???  FFs have alook at how it all started you useless fwits!!

no mention of how we were getting the rough end of the stick with the umps but "oh Milera should have got a free for a high umpire". BT you useless O2 theif, he ducked his Fing head!!!

The other classic was "This is the anniversary of the Judd chicken wing tackle"!  ::)
