At this stage of the rebuild I don't think we have any small forwards either. As for tall forwards I assume you mean the rotating rucks.

I'd play Gibbs forward rest of the year. At least he can kick.

No, no......that isn't a problem......oh so we are told.

Not a bad idea actually.........

Despite his ability to rack up 20+ possesions in the midfield - he doesn't do anything with them. Keep him up forward and play another mid.

dane's trolling again

Sam Day had 9 1%ers while playing the game forward; if he wasn't grabbing it (3 marks I50), he was bringing it to ground.

Hall had 40 touches with 78% game time.

Cordy's performing miracles for them. Carb cycling, creatine and green tea extracts don't deliver that kind of performance gap.

Everything must be going right for them on the track, or they're doing something shady.

Na. Simple. Most of their guys are 1st or second round draft picks etc. Talent plus games experience is now telling.

Green shoots Weitering Cripps Curnow and Ed Curnow

Byrne overawed but like to persevere with

Hard to watch side kick 4 or 5 goals a game

Skill errors appalling -hanballing to players feet is a trend

Kicking for goal shocking as usual

Charlie's one hander was lovely

Helps when the opposition are cooked by 3/4 time. Heat and humidity wouldn't suit Melbourne clubs.

Boek having a laugh with his best mate after the siren is the least of our problems

I saw the cats players laughing with the GWS players last week after their loss.

Perhaps it is a trend picked up from other sports.

Skills that don't degrade after that kind of running effort tell me they're getting something that the others aren't. They weren't even out of puff on the siren.

I'm just asking if it's WADA-approved.

I know we are building a game plan, but we are too defensive, we can't score. Reminds me of melbourne a year or so back.
That and we have a few players who are unlikely to ever get it.

GET CORDY!

We need numbers around contests. When the ball spilled out GC players were there to mop it up. Just like last week against the swans.

I still think our players are lazy. Flat footed and don't work hard.

The kids are the only ones showing something.
Will not progress until most of what we ve got from the Ratten and Malthouse era are gone.

True about the kids but Malthouse pretty much got rid of Ratten's forward line
