Must be the new rules :)

For home games I'm in a function room so I wonder if there are any changes to the previous arrangements
I really haven't heard enough yet to know what the requirements are

We will probably find...

After asking about where my membership card was earlier in the week, I received the same information.
I fully paid my membership in early/mid November
It won't quite be the same by rocking up to...

He should have know that Watson would run that narrative so I'm surprised he gave the media the scope to create a story

We will find out on Tuesday :)

I get why Murphy is a popular player and you can't dismiss the way he got everyone to rally around him when Griffen left us but gee he doesn't get close to the caliber of Quinlan in my opinion and...

Great thread

1 - Bernie Quinlan
2 - Brad Johnson
3 - Chris Grant
4 - Kelvin Templeton
5 - Gary Dempsey

I might give this some more thought

I wonder why Bevo felt the need to say that Dunkley position in our best 22 was not secure? I get Bevo is indicating his form isn't at the best and that was evident in the Hawks game but I also tend...

I think we have seen enough examples in the last 2 years that when we aren't switched on we are a below average side. When we are switched on we are more than competitive with the best sides

This...

Given the room nominated, it could very well be a stand-up option but most likely they are waiting to see how many people are interested

I'm hoping to hear back from the club today on a couple of...

I think many underrate what he actually brings our back line. Both he and Crozier are very good at relaying the messages from the coaches when they come off the interchange bench and the other...

Agreed, it looks like a rushed last minute effort

Yes, next Tuesday. Very short notice

Now confirmed, Tuesday 9th

It's very interesting to me that on a discussion forum people are dismissive of others who go to the effort to encourage conversations and challenge the status quo by adding some well thought out...

I think you're correct given Schache looks surplus to how we might set-up this year but I don't envy the position Bevo is in because whatever decision he makes will be questioned by so many

Good luck to Bruce, he lost his way with the AFL but for many years he was a great sports commentator

He was drafted as a key defender and performed well in that role in his first season and I can recall it was preseason game at Ballarat where Bevo reached out to him to fill the key forward role for...

Yep, nothing wrong with looking at Jordon Sweet type players who were a bit more mature.

I think we had the capacity on our list to add a longer term KP player or ruck man

Kane Cornes has listed the following clubs and coaches that are running out of excuses this year
Bevo is mentioned but lets face it Cornes does try to grab a headline

The start of the AFL season...

SEN have put forward their best teams of 22 for each club
The have listed the side below as our best, what are your thoughts?

FB: Easton Wood, Alex Keath, Hayden Crozier
HB: Caleb Daniel, Zaine...

I'm in.

You identify the talent and make the investment in developing them. If that takes a season or two longer then that's the price to pay

Id be looking at way of incentivising the state league teams...

Practice sessions and games are important aspect of building towards a seasons. For example, Tennis players train hard to get the most out of themselves so I agree with you that when our players put...

Agreed, clubs run their own risk with reducing their ruck numbers. Having more spots isn't the answer. If clubs don't want to make a 4 year investment in a KPP or ruckman then start drafting them...

I've had another look at our practice game against the Hawks

English looked good up forward but I can't see us sticking to that set-up. I also noticed that he is still poor when floating into the...

The best players will surface as opposed to just having to rely on what you have. I think competition among the bigger boys is a good thing in fact right across the playing list

The real...

I can't see valid reasons why clubs need extra spots or incentives to draft ruckman or KPP.
We have 3 ruckman on our list, one an AFL veteran, one and emerging talent and a player who will need...

There were w number of players available that might have added to our KPD depth but does the likes of Scharenberg, Daw, Oscar McDonald, Skinner and Marsh appeal?

I'm not sure what role Scott will...

Was Dell's nickname "Ding Dong"?

I'll be interested to see how Scott progresses, we've had him around the club for a while now so I'm hoping we see a specific role for him to fill with us.

We have a few like Hayes and Cavarra...

I think I talked to someone at the club late last year and it wasn't likely to be going ahead.

I suspect we really do miss that Monty and Boyd type intensity around the club. They helped make everyone be more accountable

I agree that B-Mac played his role in getting a harder edge with players which is what we needed but we should also never forget the role that Monty played in keeping the players focused. He was...

Good point. Practice and preseason games are typically a good indicator of where we are at and I don't understand why anyone would dismiss them as a way of gauging how we are performing unless we...

Spot on, they played in our jumpers so I expect the team to roll out and do better from an effort perspective than what we saw

We don't seem to learn from previous seasons, last year we had a...

Make sure you add BT with our list management team as well

Hopefully it arrives a few days before that Easty but have a happy birthday next week

Stuff the AFL, I want him on our board

The interesting part is that we seem to shy away from building hype and momentum
I think we have a theory that there is a difference in our mindset between being positive about our prospects for the...
