Best way to deal with Buddy is make sure it doesnt get down his end of the ground.....if he gets enough opportunities then it doesnt matter who plays on him......
We need another quicker opportunist up forward, Garlett might be handy....

There's more to being an AFL player then just being quick.

I'm very close to writing him off from what I've seen. Doesn't have the desire to play at the top level based on his lack of output in the games he has played. Lucky to touch it half a dozen times and is a witches hat defensively.

Sets a bad example for the other kids the way he goes about it.

Was a speculative pick at best, lazy and chooses when to put in. Fark him off at years end IMO, no more hanging onto crap trucks. Lang in the same boat, if they don't show something straight up, show em the door.

Harsh on Lang, no preseason, on the comeback from an ankle injury, I'm not a fan but we need to see what he can do in the second half of the season and what he can do next year with a full preseason under his belt before reaching conclusions

Nope, seen enough, useless.

Plenty! According to Bolton's interview it's just for this week then back after the bye. So could be being "managed".

I hope so, but why then would he be named as an emergency?

I don't like the forecast. We have yet to play a decent game in the wet this year. Their vry small forward line does not fit our defence very well. Maybe we will need to bring in another small.

In case Kerr or Curnow didn't come up for some reason. Then they'd have to put him in.

He probably felt more comfortable too when Levi was in there with him as a big body as he didn't have the responsibility of being the no.1 forward.

Do we really need more half back flankers?

Liked BBs interview today - it was good to see the acknowledgement of some things and elaborating/different slant on a couple of others:
- all kids will need a spell in the 2s at some stage - it is just part of their development
- the kids are playing more games in the 1s than they would at a stronger club due to necessity
- media brought up the priority pick - not in our thinking at this stage
- Jack will spend time in the midfield (but not much)
- Q re: Weitering basically told the journo to look at last weeks game, because he was OK
- was happy with the back 6 last week

Having said that, i don't expect us to get too close tomorrow night even with the rain.

We need good footballers especially ones who kick the ball well and are composed... some of our half backs are either injury prone or not good enough.
I'd rather Newman over Mullet, OShea and Byrne....Daisy and Simpson will both retire, Shaw wont be at the club and Williamson appears to have serious back issues.....
