I didn't like that, according to that article, Army wasn't even "in the mix".

This was the part that shitted me

Hence why our record against them is shit. We treat them like any other opposition, while they treat us like we're the devil.

The disturbing thing is these types of games ie Essendon*, Collingwood are not just normal games, and for Ratten to treat them as such is ridiculous.

We need out players to genuinly hate those teams like us supporters do.

I dont feel players play for the jumper anymore.

We need to hype these games up, as they are important historically.

I bet ya Essendon* are hyped up enough to hate us, as they always fire against us and Collingwood.

This bullshit about it being the same as a Gold Coast game, gets up my goat.

Therein lies the reason why we dont fire up in these big games like we should.

It's a bit sterile, isn't it. Nothing wrong with adding some good old fashioned passion to clashes with our fiercest rivals I don't think. Can understand though the need to concentrate on the processes.

It's just another game.

We don't need to change our preparation for this game to fire up for Essendon*.

We only have to beat their 22 and match committee to get the points.

History isn't important.

Whoosh....... again.

Didn't Ratts come out last year and say that he thought in the past he had built these games up too much, talked up the rivalry too much to the players?

To be fair the comments from Essendon* in the article are just as bland.

I don't get what your trying to say?

OUT: Carrots, Collins, Thornton, Duigan
IN: Ellard, Henderson, Lukas, Armfield

If anyone thinks that Thornton is a better long term, or short term prospect than Henderson, then why did we recruit Henderson ? If he is ready to play he has to come in. Carrots has to be accountable for his turnovers at some stage. Duigan could still be OK for us, as could Collins, but Armfield will provide more run from half back & I am worried about Essendon*'s run and play on, which has hurt us in recent times, although we smashed them last time. I don't take any comfort or confidence from that result. Despite the rantings of some, they are clearly playing better football this year and this is a real danger game for us.

The winning margin 99...

I really don't understand all the negativity towards Hammer.

He's one of the most athletic big men in the league.
He's from a non-afl background. It always takes big men longer to develop (or so we're told), and he's in his early 20's yet to play 50 games

He gets his hands on the ball often enough, i think its purely a confidence issue. Once he starts clunking a few....and he will, then watch out.

He just requires a breakthrough game, and i think it will happen this season. I think the MC do as well.

Does anyone remember how long it took Ottens to stamp his authority on a game???

I'm sure MG is doing her best work behind the scenes to get him up for the rest of the season....i think Hammer's about to explode
