what a difference 12 months makes our average wining margin against the saints was over 10 goals.If we lose against adelaide this week and I reckon adelaide will beat us they play telstra dome pretty well, our season is over we are 3 games plus % behind 8 th spot. If we lose i think we need to play as many kids as we can and see what fringe players are capeable of stepping up.

It would appear that MM used this as a final exam for some of the guys to see if they will play any further senior footbal this year.
BK failed the exam and should not have shown up - his handball over his head that lead to a goal will see him punished to the Gulls for the remainder of this season.
The big plus was GR - he gets better very game and with another off season and about 5 kgs he will be an extreme ruckman. The best part of his play, besides the palm out and long direct hit, were thathe is understanding what he has to do around the ground. This kid will be a very good ruckman that can go forward and kick goals.
Didak should watch a video of Guerra and see how a small power forward should play and Magic should watch a Milne game.
Our tall forwards were good Pebbles and Taz - but as Pebbles was always double teamed where were the small forwards ???????
MCG still must be suffering from the OP as he could not step laterally and was 'stepped' several times in the center that resulted in takeaways.
Lica got plenty of the ball but his foot disposal is still far below that of any other AFL player I have ever seen and should have been rectified by now.
Woey played great but still did not put his head over the ball in the first quarter and it resulted in a Saints goal.
Skills cost us the game and with better skills we could have won with the team that played.
I feel for Nixon and Mullins as they just don't get a run for long anough with this crazy 'fixed' rotation system.
Josh is back next week and C2 will be included as well - BK first one out and hopefully Williams second so we can let Luke and Bo run for a longer period and sit their exams as well.
Lots of good signs - but the skills are poor and the run stopped at 3 quarter time again - Buttifant what are you doing ?????

Cole would probably be in the 2's if we didnt have so many injuries. If we delist him, he will end up at Essendon - Sheedy seems able to get the best out of every Aboriginal player that that walks through the front door at Windy Hill.

We finally had a dip. We were outclassed but our application was good. I'm not that unhappy.
btw, Cole is raw. He is another who is probably 2 years off consistency, but when it comes we'll all be glad the so called "moron" in the box kept him. Do I really need to find the threads on Jonno, Fraz, Taz and Pebbles? Most of the snipers don't want to recall them but they exist here on Nicks. Now they happily eat their humble pie. You shall do the same in years to come with Cole.

LOL! Okay misunderstanding there! I meant that i have asked almost every Cole supporter on this board for justification on why cole will become a champion and no one has provided any matches where he has stood out.

In fact the only reason people cite for Cole having potential is his high draft placement. Do you have any better arguments?

This would have to be the most ridiculous post I have ever witnessed from the biggest moron to ever get on a message board.Mick's My Favourite wrote:labrooy - looks like you weren't at the game at all
McGough was the only one getting the pill for a long time. His offense outweighs his defence sny day, especially as we had a run on and especially as he just kicked a goal
Wakelin is our best defender - he would have been a better choice on Gehrig, Rewoldt or Kositzche
play Wakelin on Gehrig, Clement on Rewoldt and Cloke on Kostizche
No 1 defender on No 1 attacker, No 2 defender on No 2 attacker, 3 on 3 etc.
Walker was killed by Rewoldt and Lonnie was killed by Kostinske.
Mick never went with our best defensive formation for the night and that in itself is a tragedy.
labrooy - mullens was on the ground for 15 minutes - he had no real chance to show himself. Malthouse did the same thing to Mullens, that he did to Bo Nixon in his first two games.
Labrooy - I have ideas, you have nothing. Everything I say is positive. I ALWAYS put up! I have ten times the football brain you have.
If you allegedly love the Pies so much, why don't you say something usefull for a change?
I wasn't able to travel from Toowoomba to Telstra Dome to attend a fully booked out game. SO WHAT!!!! I still was able to watch the game via Fox Footy. Not the best but not too bad either.
You have no ideas whatsoever. All you do is criticise, criticise, criticise. You wouldn't know a positive idea if it jumped up and bit you on the arse.
You are just a sad old git with no idea who thinks he has something to say but is treated as nothing but a joke. That is because you are!!!

It would have to be a very good quality, established player. We wouldnt want him to become another Mal Michael!!!sherrife wrote:LOL! Okay misunderstanding there!

We need to be a bit more patient with Cole.
He was our best tackling player last saturday night and is one of the few that CAN and WILL tackle opponents head on.
He finds the ball a lot but is still not quite right on the disposal by foot - but hands are very good.
He also is very athletic and one of the best balanced movers you will see and that does allow him to get the loose ball at speed and swerve around players very easily.
I don't understand why MM is still giving him assignments down back as at the moment I would have him in the HF line rather than Didak - but MM wants all the attackers to be responsible when the other side has the ball.
Cole has had injuries over the last 3 years with elbow operations and he had the flu at the start of the season.
He has heaps of talent it will click in very soon and he will emulate his childhood hero - Michael Long - but he is bigger and stronger and will be a big benefit to the Pies.
