Interesting a couple of weeks ago at the 2000 Premiership Reunion Dinner, there was a tribute to Lloyd and Lucas as recently retired players. Neither are having a testimonial. Video tributes were shown for both players, from former teammates and opponents. Matthew Scarlett made comment that...

Yeah. Or Mark Fraser.

I don't know if I'd call him quick, but he is hard working and hard running. I'm glad Fisher is out, he plays well against us and is the type of under performing, midsized forward that gets the better of us. I reckon Lonergan and Howlett hold the key. Their ability to keep the ball going our...

Even though he's been giving his orders, he is still under contract until October 31st. We pay his bills up until then.

Absolutely disagree with everything you say, but see no reason debating it.

What people don't realise is the amount of time Lloyd spent away from goal in 2000. He spent a lot of time playing high and played a lot as a roaming forward and not just out of the goal square. Lloyd, in 2000 especially, was one of the most unselfish fullforwards I've ever seen. He often...

I don't think Zaka will be a support midfielder next season. I reckon he's 30 games away from being our best midfielder. Including Watson. We still need to recruit heavily towards our midfield and Houli could be another option, but I think we are at least starting to get some numbers together...

I'm pretty sure I read that we average the 6th most goal kickers a game, in the AFL. About 8.5 a game. Probably a better way to look at it.

Depends what the gap is in Howlett's extra run, speed and everything else and the extra run, disposals, damage that the oppositions best player does. No doubt Howlett is quicker and uses the ball better, but until Friday night he wasn't finding more of it than Welsh and Welsh does a damn good...

He was told a couple of weeks ago.

He gets fired up when we play Carlton.

Who has he tagged?

Hird was going to retire at the end of 2006, Sheedy talked Hird into playing one more year. Your work in this thread has been about as successful as the Dennis Pagan years.
