Re: Familar Signs of 2007

That sucks! I hate having anything to do with the QEO now that the Bendigo Bombers are in town, it makes me sick!

It will be one of Bendigos biggest $ earners for the year, you will be stung for just as much as you would at Telstra Dome, and in some ways its better to give it to Bendigo than to the incompetent Collo and his cronies

True, by the looks of it I'll have to pay unless I can find a hole in a fence somewhere.

Thank you, I wish Season 4 would start up again. I'm really missing it!

Re: Familar Signs of 2007

I agree with the umpiring. These little ***** continually stuff up . They should be seen, but not heard!! Couldn't believe Murph didn't get 50 after being punched in the back of the head.
If Eagleton and White continually get games this year, I'm sorry to say but we will lose many a game. The day they Wallace swapped Eagleton for Monty, I cringed! Eags and White are just NOT up to the grade anymore.
I wouldn't give up on McDougal either, he should be given a crack up forward, thats where i believe he plays his best footy. Why dont they persist with him up there??????
Give Skips and Minson a go as well and whoever performs, stays up forward as the big man!

Re: Familar Signs of 2007

Agree with everything you said, except for Callan. He has a good build and mongrel about him. I think he should be given a go and then we decide?

Re: Familar Signs of 2007

BAD, you have lowered the bar too much to excuse our disappointing loss. The Bombers had a lot out as well plus played some rookies which we didn't. They looked sharper and played smarter regardless if the game is full scale or not.

There is a masive difference between the NAB and practise matches to the real season.

Re: Familar Signs of 2007

Even in the 06 year most people seem to over glorify (i may have done this) we got smashed a few times at least. I hope we stop comparing ourselves to that year at every stage of the season. We got beat. Let's see how we go next week.

Exactly. The 06 gameplan will never win a flag.

Re: Familar Signs of 2007

*Griffen has to play in the midfield, to give us run and penetration. (cant have West ,Cross and boyd )
*One of the aboriginal boys (Harbrow Or Lynch) has to play forward pocket to spark the forward line and kick the freaky goals.
*Cant have Wight and Misson both in forward line.

I seem to remember Geelong took our 06 game plan and perfected it by having a tall up forward (Mooney) and an accountable midfield.

Re: Familar Signs of 2007

Harbrow has to be in our best 22 now, I think. We need a player with zip, and Jarrod has that in bundles. His turning circle is one of the smallest in the competition. He's got twinkle toes and changes direction very quickly. He's got good skills and he's a smart little player. I hope we play him a FP, playing as a genuine crumber of about a 40m radius.

We lack zip, and Harbrow applies good defensive pressure too. Higgins would desperately want to improve in this area, he was a bystander again last night.

Maybe but we can't look back and hope for that to just come back. It's just that people seem to forget we made the 8 and won 1 final. We didn't lose a prelim by a couple of goals which is what it sometimes sounds like.

Re: Familar Signs of 2007

Could Matthew Boyd play back pocket? Im not sure there is room in midfield for West, CRoss and Boyd. He might not be able to play on the super quick small forwards (Davey etc), but he would be handy on a Farmer or a Chapman.......Thoughts?

It is not like we have a lot of alternatives...I think it is worth a go depending on what Eade wants in a bp. He tends to go for foot skills + run and carry (Gilbee), whilst leaving the out and out defending to a Morris. But, like I say - worth a try.

Re: Familar Signs of 2007

For the Croos West Boyd arguement, we would have to trade Boyd. Then when West ritires we lack in and under mids. Solution, keep one on the bench. I think this will help West playing less game time.

Re: Familar Signs of 2007

Boyd was sensational last season. Can't believe people are saying no room for him. He's a run with on baller, who can hurt the opposition on the turn over. Cross and West are like 2 peas in a pod so what do you do there. Your can't get ri dof either, just let griff and gia back in the rotation and see what happens
