    Not sure he’s going to walk out of there based on their current rate of improvement but we definitely need key defender depth and small forwards who can provide pressure.

    Yep, don't at all think we can get Andrews. But he'd be the first player I'd go for if we had our pick.

    We were nice enough to give them Adams. Least they could do is send over Andrews.

    How is this even a thing?

    1/ I love the disappointment on opposition supporters faces in a tight lost almost as much as winning = sadist.

    2/ Nathan Jones just refuses to release the ball ever and never, ever gets pinged.

    3/ Sam Lloyd, Taylor Duryea and Hayden Crozier have been exceptional signings.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    That was frustrating the hell out of me yesterday. Bont gets pinging with no prior yet every time tough stickers Jones gets it he appears to fall into a comatose state and just stands there or falls to the ground with zero intent or effort to dispose of the ball.

    Come on. I like Nathan Jones. What a battler. His head is the the shiny hood ornament that always stands out on that misfiring club. About the only thing that resembles blue collar effort at that place.

    They have done a great job. We have not kicked more than 10 goals in any of the last 4 games and yet have 3 wins (could have been 4).

    1. We can win even when we play ordinary and don't convert our chances. Don't like it but it is good to get over the line in those types of games. It is history and a win...next.

    2. Dunkley is much much better than i thought. At the start of the year was hoping he would be our most improved. He has blown that out of the water. He is a beast.

    3. We have picked up smart footballers in Duryea, Crozier and Lloyd. They are all starting to have some serious impact on the team.

    Dunks won the most improved last year....going back to back most improved would be unheard of!! And he was a premiership player at 18!

    ok he won't get the club award for most improved but he is still our most improved player this year. He will end up in the top 3 of the B & F.
