It's not all that surprising that we went for him in our attempt to trade in some quality, given that not many are queuing up to join us. What is surprising, however, is that Sydney with their professional approach to recruiting burnt a top 10 pick on him in the first place.

In his first few games he showed some real class and I thought we found a player. But this has been nowhere to be seen over the last few seasons. Not sure how to get him back to his best, but he definitely does have some talent

I don't watch too many other games but the two things that annoy me the most at our games are lack of holding the ball decisions to us when the ball is dropped or disposed of incorrectly with prior opportunity and rubbish holding decisions in our backline where the contact is too insignificant...

Personally I can't wait until we move him out of the backline. I don't think it's well suited to his game.

The depressing part was that we improved our overall effort, individually did a good job in the backline and generally worked our backsides off against an average side and still lost by 38. As Viney said during the Q&A, it's an elite competition where every single club is now professional...

Obviously it’s the pick 3 thing. We’ve drafted dozens of 18 year olds who were off the list within 5 years in the current shithouse period and just prior to it. Durdin and Nielsen come to mind, Perez and Mahoney and plenty of others. If Phillips was pick 17, let alone pick 54, nobody would even...

This also gives us another couple of years of top draft picks just before Tasmania comes in. But it also means losing culture continues and we are potentially losing a generation of kids as supporters On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

I could just ignore you for being an idiot, but I will respond just once. Ziebell was arguably not in the best 22 last season. Cunnington hardly played after being dropped early in the year and Hall was also not in the best 22 by some margin, having played mostly in the VFL despite being available.

Just to clarify, hitout to advantage isn’t the only stat to look at with respect to Xerri’s influence or lack of. What about hitouts to advantage the opposing ruckman is getting? Vs the neutral ones where it’s in dispute but at least in the open as opposed to in congestion? Vs the ones Xerri...
