Yes, but that was before we lost four talls and got only one back. However, my position has always been that there's no point adding talls if they can't play.

I'm a firm believer in the "a good big man will always beat a good little man" adage but with "good" being the operative word.

Thats the point, the past....not now.

I think you've misread something somewhere.

LP was stating fans were sayong we were top heavy in the past....when we had lemmey etc.

You were the only one i ever heard suggesting anything of the sort.

In short.....LP is talking BS again.

Just like the afl screwed up by playing the game on a friday night.....just a mere 96k there for a sellout crowd.

Was it not you who was saying we didn't need anymore talls because the number on our list was the same as the number on other lists??

Just finished watching this, fathers day duties called.

Happy to get a big win, kicking 10 goals without both Sophie and Darcy in the side.

One of only 3 teams undefeated......and we play the other 2 in the next 2 weeks. Kangas, then Dees.
Kangas haven't been beaten in what.......2.5 years??
Lets see how well we go there, will very much determine our hopes for the year.

I wonder if the club has thought of getting Poppy Scholz to work with Brodie Kemp on his kicking for goal.  She has a relaxed, no nonsense routine and kicks through the ball really well.

In fact, the field and goal kicking in the AFLW seems to have gone up a notch this season, particularly with the distance the girls are now kicking.

i wasnt going to mention it but Mark had a heart issue in 2022 which came out of the blue. Cant help but think this is a similar issue as any other situation he would have replied to our messages.

Im must say im quite affected by his absence and what it means. I never met the man in person but i really liked him nevertheless - was never personal regardless what came his way smart thinker and empathetic whenever  there was a personal issue.

A massive loss to the site.

I think your recall may be faulty, Kruddler.  I'd prefer a top heavy team over a vertically-challenged team, provided that the big lads can play footy.

Who was those fans that were complaining it was top heavy?

As best as i can recall, there was only 1 person who suggested as much and it was based purely on heights rather than ability to play the positions, and that was DJC.

Don't recall anyone else saying that.
