As an ex coach left footers help you on all the lines with the ability to be able to turn inwards which makes a player down field time his leads better.

It maybe old school compared to today's rugby style take territory and contested ball But that wheel will eventually turn again as kicking to 45 increases though out the league as 90% cannot kick on there Wrong foot to a standard. 

Was watching fox great games and that side of Hawks had heaps.

Rioli,Young,Lewis,Hodge,Smith,Guerra,Birchal,Dew,Roughhead,Ellis,not sure who i missed.

Beware of the Bulldogs this year-Bontenpelli,Hunter,McCrea,Naughton,Libatore,Crozier,Durea,R Smith,Keith,Suckling,Richards and Bruce.

Well rumours swirling around CorVidVictoria this moring... ....the MaCs are been packaged off to the Swans a key forward and a good back.......Just what they need up there, with the draft pick on offer Dee's will put in the hands of the Happless Roos something like a 3rd round pick for Bennie......Big shake up in the Dee's midfeild too.....looking to off load a couple hifernated guy might be off to Perth, they love to pick up mids there.....What about Joe you say? Neil is still trying to talk Joe around i hear....so its not out of the question just yet.... Well we can dream cant we?

 

Ps.....why do Leeds were white? Well back before being champions there manager had been in awue of Real Madrid who play in a white strip so to mimick the ever so powerful he was behind there change of playing strip.....and there worn white ever since....its also my preference, Marseilles who i also like a lot in France wheres white.

I don't know why Preuss ever considered going to Melbourne TBH.

He was only ever going to play when Gawn was injured.

 

Darcy Moore is an absolute jet I think.

 

I don't know why Viney was flicked for the captaincy for Gawn.

Has never really been addressed publicly anyway.

Viney is a heart and sole player.

You don't want him going.

 

 

[Will27]

I can see a case for it this year only.

 

‘Tosh! Baloney!’: Gerard Whateley tees off at AFL’s pre-finals bye

AFL 360 co-host Gerard Whateley has taken aim at the pre-finals bye, labelling it “an unnecessary irritant” and calling for it to be scrapped moving forward.

The bye was introduced in 2016 with the intent to enhance the quality of finals matches through giving players more chance to recover ahead of the showcase matches, while it dissuaded teams from resting an inordinate number of key players in the final round.

Speaking on SEN, Whateley urged the league to make this year the last for the controversial fixture decision.

 

“This is the last year that we should accept the pre-finals bye. It is an unnecessary irritant. We need the AFL to hear this, there’s revisionist history that’s been allowed to wash through the need for the bye,” he said.

“It was instituted because teams were manipulating Round 23 and the league wanted to protect the integrity of the home and away season. We’re now told it’s to enhance the quality of the finals. Tosh! Baloney!

 

“To accept that proposition, you’d have to hold the view that every finals series prior to 2016 was diminished by the convention to play through and we all know that’s pure nonsense. It’s the season’s single biggest momentum killer. Spare me the argument it builds anticipation, that was always there.”

Whateley suggested the league’s motives for the bye were different to the views most commonly held about its introduction.

 

“I suspect what actually happens is the week off helps the league sell its finals tickets - that’s not nearly enough justification for the irritation that its caused,” he said.

 

“Its outlived its usefulness. If the AFL is obsessed with holding the finals back then it should at the very least implement wildcard weekend and stage two games to keep the footy going.

“I’d be happy to hear one single argument in favour of the pre-finals bye.”

 

 

 

[BookmanBkk]

I reckon the bye is a good idea.

Gives teams a chance to rest and get back injured players, giving the fans the bets possible finals series and game

Tom wouldnt be on much more than 550,000 600,000 tops was only around 25 when he innked a new deal, it seems like hes been around forever he was still very young playing key defence and reminded me of the Nathan Jones early days shooting off hand passes to the opposition, hes worth a punt if we dont want him as i couldnt understand Goodwin not throwing him down back to get "some Form" seriously we have a bunch of dead beat coaches who dont know what there doing.....

I said it when it happend....Gawn is up for a new contact sometime soon, being captain made him more expensive if he was to go down the trade or FA route, we would get a 1st round pick for max dead sure if he left, on top of that all so more likely to be able to hang on to him if he is the captain and even more again justified in offering a big fat juicy contract they also at the time expected Viney to stick around no matter what his pop is working with the club in some fairly good capacity and played his entire career in the centre for us..... as i said there not the smartest since Roos left, Viney hasnt moved into elite status as was expected as captain his contract would be bumbed to reflect that....

The Byee is rubbish, clubs the world over rest players if they can the bye makes a mockery of being one of the good clubs that earned a rest, i know the Tigers did it but gees lesser clubs would not have handled 2 games in 5 weeks....

So you know all the press about Harry was bullocks but North are looking for players so you dont know.....then again Sydney have proved pretty good in turning wayward stars around so its not over just yet, and of course Eagles always on the look aout for a classy mid.....was worth a punt but not much bettween the ears WILL always handicap you, the 350,000 he got for this year WILL all be peed up against the wall by mid next year and the fella WILL be back playing for West Perth or someone....
