    Why not have a couple of games on Anzac, one interstate and one in Melbourne? If it truly is a fair comp then why do collingwood and essendon have dibs on the biggest day outside of the grand final?

    Highly unlikely they'll change it while King Eddie is around

    On the flip side - why waste a day that draws a crowd on a game that would draw a crowd regardless...?

    tradition in Victoria is almost impossible to break.

    who else would have their biggest raceday on a Tuesday?

    And by the way Rio I was never really convinced but Gaff has developed into a very good player.

    At least he never went missing unlike "Looks like Tarzan plays like Jane" when the pressure goes on, Jack Darling who never troubled the scorers at all.

    Question mark on 2 blokes on the road and in tough games Lecras and Darling it's all good being a Subiaco superstar but the big dance isn't played there I look at the competition teams like Adelaide at home are unbeatable as is Geelong down there WC at Subi and Sydney top 7or 8 nearly set IMO Hawks ,NM ,Geel ,Syd WC ,Adelaide like to think the doggies but they have injuries at the start of the year I had WC beating everyone bar Hawks they nearly lost to Freo and now for smashed against Syd and smashed against Hawks if they don't finish top
    2 forget about it actually might as well anyway as GF is played at G
    Accurate as always Dungy :)
    LeCras has kicked 12 goals in a game  against the Bombers when the Eagles were shiit, at Etihad, you've got a very short memory.

    His role has changed immensely since then and he's had some shocking injuries a knee and two broken arms or wrists.
    Sorry but I just cant stand it when some people continually blatantly distort facts.

    Dungy and Andrew both have some credibility in their arguments re LeCras.

    Career average goals,  2.16, Subiaco average 2.25, Etihad average 3.08, other venues 1.54.

    Any player who average over 2 goals per game at AFL level has been a great contributor.

    By comparison Andrew your pin up boy Jack Darling averages 1.78, Michael Walters 1,96 and Hayden Ballantyne 1.6 and I would suggest that the latter's away record is abysmal.

    Well put Chariots.  Le Cras at the top his game a very dangerous forward, but a few injuries and father time are catching up with him, and I don't think his kicking is as sharp any more.

    Sometimes the amount of goals is a furphy - backtrack to 1st Derby last year Dockers won by 30 after been up 60, Le Cras kicked 5 but 3 were "Joe the Gooses" over the top and all with the heat out of the game.

  • GilgameshGilgamesh    5,012 posts
    So Gray and Windgard are out and shock horror Port actually play as team and get a win! Sure its not a time capsule win but everyone has done their bit. These two men with their me me me style of play are nothing but a plague to their team. YES I know whey are thevtwo best players but this is a team game not a me game. Shape up or ship out boys.

    True test this weekend if they cant beat Geelong down there they simply are not top 4 and really have to finish top 2 as they cant travel and win ,they will go close against Geelong they match up well against them,The  Cats probably slightly better in the midfield

    Dividend $102, cannot complain about that. Essendon winning might have added a bit more spice.

    Our same list who couldn't kick under Woosha was turned around by Simmo.

    A squads disposal skills are a combination of a number of things, most of them relating to the club environment for which the coach is responsible.

    If the tigers don't make the 8 Hardwick must go, no ifs or buts.

    Richmond of all clubs can not settle for anything less than success.
