Wiggins is definitively indicative of where this club is at.
7 years in the system. Clearly not up to it to be an AFL player but he remains in the team cos he's a goer. His upside is minimal. I hope he isnt contracted for 2008


Yes, he is, signed for 2 years in last year.


You bloody taswegians. You couldnt send us someone like Baldock or Royce hart could you, No you send the wiggler

What was wrong with Brent Crosswell and Percy Jones? We sent you those!!

some of you obviously never saw Michael Sexton when he first started. Now here was a bloke that had absolutely no idea in his first 10 games ... the games were slower ... he never played in a team that got flogged week in week out ... he also had the luxury of playing around good players with plenty of experience ... he adjusted and went onto become a great player for Carlton.

Steady on everyone with Bower. That incorrect decision in haste destroyed his confidence. I hope we persist with him.


Yep, felt just the same way about Secco early on. I think they began playing him on a wing and I thought "this guy has no idea!". What a gun he was. Felt the same way about Dog Brown too. :oops:

Keep playing Bower - what the hell do we have to lose. If Austin and Jammo can tip him out with good Ants form, well and good.

Whilst I'm at it, can't believe that Grigg can't get a run with this mob. Play him off HB and let him go, go, go. Another victim of the Pagan "can't make a mistake" mindset.

The other elephant in the room is the Mitchell/Pagan fiasco. If Sticks wanted to find a way to unravel some gloss from his Pratt coup, well mate, this was it.

I won't judge any of these kids until we get a new coach and have a "normal" development program. Full stop.

Went onto Davis after he'd kicked 3 in the second quarter, and completely shut him out of the game, to the extent that Davis was dragged.


Not to mention he kicked the first goal after a good mark, and about 10 minutes later was NOT paid a free kick in front of goal that was 1,000 times worse than his touch "in the back" on McVeigh in the Essendon* game. So he could easily have had 2 goals plus an assist (Setanta) in the first qtr, before shutting down Nick Davis. Last week he blanketed the currently recognised best small forward in the game.

I'm over people bagging one of our most consistent players who gets moved around all over the place, and rarely puts in a bad game.


How dare you spout such rubbish - you are not following the script.

Those that are part of the problem are Pagan, Wittnal, Bannister, Wiggins, Betts, Saddo and Kernahan.

The solution is allot more difficult because the problem is so big, but we need better development for our kids, Kennedy should have made some progress in two years, but I am afraid that he may have been in top nick during draft camps and comps and is not as talented as we may think.
A new coach and culture at the club to bind the team as we play more like a bunch of individuals than a team.
Decide on who is our back six and play them irrrespective of the result as that is the only way that we will settle our defence.
We desperately need a couple rucks of genuine size and also some more leg speed through the middle.



Mate big guys takes about 5 years to show somthing

trade fev....lance gone...skinny and kouta on VERY shaky ground...hoops :roll:
Yes to fev .. agree that kouta and lance will probably leave at the end of this year .. disagree with skinny and hoops: I think skinny is leadership material and hoops should play at least 100 more games in the centre-half or midfield (and [i]not[i/] in defence .. my $0.02 worth
