    Yeah and it's not a complete disadvantage not being aligned with an AFL club. Focus on winning rather than development , consistently play together, it's the highest level for the players involved rather than trying to impress to get into seniors etc.

        Scott, Poulter, Harmes, Baker, Bedendo and Clarke offer very, very little. Sooner we get them off the list the better.

        JJ and Freijah are so far above this level and McNeil has been good again. Busslinger continuing to develop pretty well. Not much else to get excited about.
        I agree also, Scott has gone backwards as the season has gone on and maybe the multible concussions have taken there toll. Poulter doesn't offer enough and neither does Baker. Bedendo I would have liked to have shown something and I know he has had his injury setbacks but its time to cut the reins. Clarke shows nothing and we would be better looking elsewhere.
        Don't piss off old people
        The older we get the less "LIFE IN PRISON" is a deterrent...

          I was being a little glib, but I?d also argue that we?re lucky to be a goal down. Allowing them 13 F50 entries against the wind was criminal, they?re absolutely killing us around the contest and running the ball out way too easily. I?m sure they are well resourced, run and coached. Doesn?t change the fact that while he played at AFL level we are being dominated by a ruckman who looks like his mum ****ed a 1970?s fish & chip shop

            They are marking well too, whilst we are non competitive in air or content to punch it away, except for that one good mark in F50 which ended up a point.

            Our day will come
            And we'll have everything.
            We'll share the joy
            Just like '54 again.

                  Clarke definitely has *something*. I’m willing to give him another year to see if we can figure out what it is.

                      Jones has been awesome every time I’ve seen him in the last 6 weeks.

                        Poulter is rubbish.

                          Poulter is a liability

                            We should delist Poulter over that kick.

                              His best efforts don't compensate for his bad ones.
