Have we identified or more importantly can we develop another inside midfield beast?
Would be interesting to watch Cripps/SOJ changing forward / mid.


I have mentioned it before ( and got howled down ) but his Pa was a great ruckrover.Started out as a CHB actually till the great man Ronald Dale Barassi made the inspired move to throw him in the guts to exploit his great power and strength..............Jack is easy to knock because of his glaring lack of pace.He will overcome this with his great footy IQ,nous,smarts,whatever you like to call it.And he has inherited that immeasurable quality courage.He aint scared.Reckon he would be too petrified to walk through the front door if he squibbed.Reckon the pain of a big hit would be nothin' compared to spray from the old man or even worse Pa.

let's not forget that greg Williams was passed over the first time at carlton because he was too short, too slow.....

Whateley actually put that question to Liddle on air a few weeks back. Something like 'surely you agree whilst developing you shouldn't play friday nights'...Liddle fielded it beautifully. Can't remember exactly how..but yeah... that happened. Whateley is of the type where to know him more is to like him way less. No doubt we will be competitive again. If SPS had kicked straight we just might have won against cats. Stick that up your suit coat Gerard!

Gerard who???

I'm with Mick. Inside mids need good lateral movement, strength, great hands. Cripps hasn't got loads of straight line pace, neither has Josh Kennedy or Cunnington, or our Kennedy too. Jack is not lightening quick but he is not treacle either. Maybe he could be like swans Kennedy. Ordinary half fwd gun midfielder.

So much angst about us and Friday nights ...

Out of 10 rounds so far there's on been 3 close results (Ess d Adl by 12, Adl d Syd by 10 and Syd d Haw by 8)
Our 2 losses were by 24 points to Pies and 21 points to Dogs respectively (we also lost to Tigers by 26 on a Thursday)
The remaining 5 games have been blowouts by 35, 37, 48, 52 and 61 points

Hopefully we win .......
Hopefully it isn't a blowout in favour of the Syd

Silvagni in the mix.

You know after every feature article there's a selection into the ones.
Jack as a reinvented inside mid/ forward.

I really hope and believe he's made of the right stuff.
May takes a few years. He's only 20.

He's one of the faces of the club.
He won't die wondering either.

And for anyone fretting about Weitering or McKay for that matter, did you happen to catch Matthew Scarlett’s speech at the HOF dinner?
He basically said that he hardly played a seniors game in his first 2 yrs, played every game in his 3rd year but didn’t feel he belonged at AFL level until his 4th season.
Patience.


We are building. A bit like the Demons but 3-4 years behind, and now need to add the midfield grunt and find a good ruckman for the next 10 years...

Nothing surer than the Blues winning this game.
Or losing to a garbage umpire decision in the last 5 min.

And yet I’ve heard Mr Used-To-Be-A-Good-Bloke-But-Isn’t-Anymore Whateley argue many a time how important it was that clubs down the bottom got their share of high exposure games lest they find sponsors etc dropping off.

I’m a Sydneysider so I know the ground well.

It’s a nice venue for footy from a viewing perspective because it’s small but it’s a stupid ground because it’s so short and the 50m arcs are barely 50m. I think there was a time they painted the 50m arcs at about 47m.

Food’s rubbish, eat at Entertainment Quarter before (and it’s expensive either way)

Great pastries at Black Star Pastry.
