When does luck become an over-used word - and simply our players are not working hard enough or we're not selecting guys with the right body-types.

I'll have 5 Joel Selwoods please - even a Daniel Rich will do.

My team for Saturday (subject to fitness): B: Slattery Fletcher (Rocca) Daniher (Anthony) HB: Dempsey Ryder (Cloke) Hocking C: Winderlich Stanton Lonergan HF: Davey Lovett-Murray Monfries F: Lucas Lloyd McVeigh Foll: Hille Lovett Watson Int: Jetta McPhee Houli Zaharakis In: Hocking Lonergan Lovett-M...

What was wrong with Ryder's game? At one stage he contested in the ruck then got back in time to spoil norths entry into forward 50. His only problem is we don't have 3 of him! Truer words never spoken. I would be more than happy to have one Paddy across each line - where you get the most out of hi...

Fletcher - every vote. But, I think he should be given the responsibility to take the best opposition forward. Clearly, the rest of our defence should take whose left. Fletcher to Rocca, Daniher to Cloke and Pears to the twos. I sore something from Pears that I didn't like today and North let him kn...

They are pretenders, clearly. They have a habit of conning supporters into thinking they are better than they are. The skills are not up to standard and the decision-making is abismal. They need to get a hold of a Geelong video and see good decision-making. The only players with pass marks today: Ll...

I'm more concerned with our skill efficiency...missing targets by hand and foot and look terrible over the footy. The only reason they are having plenty of kicks is because we're zoning off and they are chipping it around trying to hold onto the footy.

They clearly did not watch the 1st quarter replay from last week.

No intensity, poor skills and a couple of soft efforts (for memory Pears running back). Very disappointing so far.

North are ordinary - we shouldn't lose to them but going this way I think we will.

RYDER U SOFT c***

Get them as coach because they have ticker and a history of success1111111111

sorry the weakest ever.


no intensity...i feel sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the most heartest team ever


i feel sick

I would walk into the Bendigo change rooms and say that not because I'm concerned but because it's true - they couldn't even field a team last year through injuries - hence, my call about no competition. And, as for winning an EFC B & F - who cares, when you have little competition internally - ...

You have to remember Stanton does not have a lot of competition at Essendon. To win a best and fairest at Essendon over the last few years would be equivalent to getting a game for the Cats. I know that sounds silly, but that's like Hayden Skipworth winning a Bendigo B & F - well done Hayden, bu...

A fair admission, but that's history so lets move on.

He is right though, you hire the experts - the biggest mistake is Sheedy probably coached for 5 years too many.

Lloyd should be playing out of the goal square, as should Lucas...stick to your key competencies...at 31 power running is not one of them as an ageing full-forward. Knights wants play like Geelong - a list like Geelong's would help! I agree with Lyon 100%. It's about time we look after the older guy...

Furk.

B: Slattery Hurley Fletcher HB: Hocking Ryder Dempsey C: Houli Stanton Lovett HF: Davey Neagle McPhee F: Monfries Lloyd Lucas Fol: Hille Watson Winderlich Int (from): Bellchambers Skipworth Lonergan Pears Dyson Atkinson Nash Play the guys in bold. Harder bodies and will need to win some in and under...

You'd probably take Port over 39.5 as well. Our midfield will get crushed.

Run hard into space; create space for more one-one contests where in large we can use our key advantage - speed. Our key advantage is not Lloyd and Lucas anymore because opposition defences flood back in numbers - and they are not the players they once were (ie. not many can be like James Hird for h...

Mr Paper Mache is sore and injured again. What is it with these players we recruit that can't handle any work put into their bodies?

Toughen the furk up I say.
