I watched this video of Smith. It's only one video and I see a lot of nice things, but not enough hurt factor with his kicking or handball. A lot of kick-and-hope type efforts where the end result is a 50-50 or a turnover. Not too many creative play making efforts in his kicking. I'm not sold...

Reid gets 2 weeks.

The beginning of the Streak, version 2.0.

Gone. The AFL can NOT play favourites here. Even if Wilson is not concussed, I'd say Reid is in trouble.

And leaving his family and moving to Melbourne while still a teenager. That's not easy to do.

Looking forward to watching this guy play for us. Suspect it won't be too long until it's in the seniors. Best of luck Geordie!

No more selling the farm for Reid talk. That ship has sailed. Move on.

Speaking of McKercher, we need to throw a massive deal at him as soon as the opportunity presents. I reckon he's already mates with Sheez. You only have to look at the way Sheez responded the other day when asked about him. He's the real deal, and I'm more than happy we have him. I've seen...

And then Hawthorn were for the taking and our 5th premiership was entirely possible. How things could have changed. But the umpires thought otherwise. Only the '94 prelim was worse and will always be worse, even if we play footy for another 50 years.

Corr to Waterman. Shut him down. That will help. Have Taylor tag Yeo and Scott do the same to Kelly. Get someone running in front of McGovern at every opportunity. Three goal, morale restoring, season-defining win incoming. Simple!

This will ultimately be a good thing as long as the players survive this process mentally and get some help from time to time. The next trade period will be vital to getting those young guys, plus LDU who is not young any more, some help. A Jordan Dawson style recruitment would be really handy...

Clarko is the best option we could have chosen from any available coaches out there. He has NOTHING to work with. Consider this. Players lost to the club from last year (with replacements in brackets) McKay (WDawson) Goldstein (Goad) Ziebell (Hardeman) Thomas (Duursma) Cunnington (McKercher)...

I don't care one iota what he thinks of us or says about us. How many top ten picks IN THE HISTORY OF THE DRAFT have abandoned the club that drafted them after ONE season?? He can mock us all he likes. He will never have my respect, no matter what he does with his career from here. I suspect...

This is absolutely our problem. Yes we have a young team. Even a skillful team. We can compete when we're fresh and all is well. But not once the game wears on. Then we stop competing. A few guys are preventing us from getting smashed by even more than we are. LDU is one of them. Sheezel is...

Best available in that case would be, for us, another slow inside mid who can't play anywhere else, turns it over and only runs one way.

1. Serviceable or better, if not excellent: LDU Xerri Sheezel Wardlaw Corr Powell Comben McDonald Fisher Powell Stephenson Shiels Ford (pro-rata) 2. Did enough but should look to improve: WDawson Curtis Larkey Pink 3. Might be nervous at selection: Taylor Duursma 4. Injured: Bergman 5. The...

Two marks i50 and we score. It's not rocket surgery.

If we could take some marks inside 50 that would help. All the stats are even or in our favour except the scoreboard and marks inside 50. Can't be a coincidence.

The kid seems to have enormous self-belief. Akin to what Chom has. You can see it on the field. His body isn't there yet, but it will be. Already I can see that he'll be an excellent pickup for us. Looking forward to seeing what he does tomorrow.

This package shows him playing forward a bit and kicking some nice goals. Any chance he plays there against * ?

Love this post. You've captured the essence of the place and the growth is spectacular. I was born in Melbourne but moved to Castlemaine (30 min down the highway, if that) in my early teens and then back to Melb to go to uni when I was 18. My parents stayed in Castlemaine and eventually moved...

They do, mate, but the recent growth rate for Bendigo - in the last few years, not 10-12 - is far greater and will see Bendigo go past Ballarat. Lots of new estate up there if you've been there recently.

Bendigo is completely untapped AFL territory. Beautiful city, soon to be the 3rd biggest in the state when it overtakes Ballarat, easy to get to and geographically suits us.

Ben Ainsworth please. Vic Country boy, tough, mature (26yo) defensive minded, mid-forward. Exactly what our list needs. Has played 21 an 22 games the last two seasons and every game this year. 108 goals from 127 games since he was drafted in 2016 at #4. Same draft as Grif and Jy. Throw a huge...

Is it time to trot out the Suddenly thread? Or are we not doing that any more?

My son and I will be there, providing some blue and white voice against the red and black horde. We will be proud and resolute. Hopefully many others will join us.

The season isn't over yet.

Too many are taking quick easy potshots at Brady, from the cheap seats. The list appears bad, blame the current list manager, apparently. That's what we're supposed to do. Here's the last four drafts in which he's been a list manager. Leaving aside the rookies, mid-season drafts and the...

Thanks mate. There is hope. Agree, Darwin sucks, in terms of the heat and humidity. Definitely not ideal for football, at all. Totally, 100% agree with you on LDU. Some people want him to have 40 and three goals every game. I fail to see how he is supposed to do more than he currently is. He is...
