He's just insanely slow....and his agility and turning circle are worse. He doesn't have a chance unfortunately.

Look at that VERY AVERAGE player from collingwood frost everyone is raving about.

All athlete...no footballer...but he can wear his man like a glove and spoil due to his excellent athleticism, speed and length. He is a complete retard in every other aspect of the game, marking, kicking, handballing, zoning off, reading play etc, a he's horrible! But he can play a prestigiacomo type role for them. So everyone in the media is sucking his d!ck, even though he can't play football properly - but he can keep up with his man. So he will make it.

Watson is the opposite, but won't make it, no matter how much we want him to

Frost is a much better player than what you credit him for here, and continues to work on his game.

Watto weighs in at around 105 kg, so he would definitely improve after losing a few kgs. Will it be enough? I don't know.

I reckon Fields is a smokey to get elevated and play this week. He has been in very good form..

As I've mentioned across a few threads, the club would have to move Sheehan to the LTI list, which I believe means he would need to be out for another 4 weeks minimum in order for him to be still eligible.

If they do that, then I think Walsh might be in the running for a berth as well; appears to be covering the ground very well in the VFL if recent highlights are anything to go by.

Walsh has been impressive but I would think Graham is ahead of him in terms of the type of player?

Fields gives us that 3rd tall in defense. Does he remind you a bit of a young Jamison?

Frost will make it, as he plays his role well. But he is all athlete, no skills. He will fit well in collingwoods back line as they have numerous skull full runners for him to chip backwards to or give the short handball off to. He is a deer in the headlights when he has the ball

Even when we were struggling to win 3 games a season I was able to conjure some enthusiasm. The scariest thing is that I think the nadir is still on the way.

Not as yet no, Jamison had much more raw speed.

Walsh would be ahead of Graham right now in terms of AFL output if he can cover turf the way he was on the weekend.

Good one. Would love to see Walsh in the team. The more debutantes the better.

Take a look at the VFL highlights in Talking Northern to see him push forward hard to create an easy goaling option. Like McLean on roller skates. :grin:

Fields in the side will depend on how long the club think Sheehan will be out for 1-2 weeks for.

Surely we can't lose this.

Brisbane have the record for lowest scoring average at the moment with 60 odd.

Brisbane will be seeing this as very much a winnable game.

There was a stat on Footy Classified that pointed out that they are have one of the worst season averages in the post-War era. They are the only post-draft era side other than the establishment year of GWS to post such a total.

with Hendo out, the Same old question pops up " Who is going to bloody Kick the Goals for us? "

do we have a forward line capable of a Winning Score? What I mean by a Winning score is perhaps 8-10 Goals provided the Weak lions are kept below 10 goals.


We do know one Fact for sure:

** Liam Jones can not kick multiple goals beyond 1-2 a Game...

** Casboult's kicking woes means he is no better than Jones

** Watson has been tried before but is an average forward who goes missing all game



I have a nasty feeling that Mick will continue to play the two Ruckmen and then rely on Wood or Warnock to rotate through the forward line and kick some Goals. This tactic if followed will be a total disaster... I hope it doesn't happen.

The abvious answer is playing Walker FF and leaving him there all Game....doesn't mean he will save us......


Lose this Game to the lions and MM should be Sacked!! there is no other option nor way that the Board can afford to keep Mick beyond this Week!!
