Interesting to look back at this thread from 3 years ago !

I like Ben Doolans team.

Yep - going crazy ...today. no-one else in my team really cares .. but I'm counting down now. Only 3 hours more to work.

Will be watching World Cup Fever tonight. Looking forward to it !

Anyone getting excited ? I can hardly concentrate today. I have free tickets to the cats game on Saturday for medallion club but all I can think about is the WC. I'm getting up to watch france and uruguay tommorow morning and desparately hoping that the aussies can sneak a victory on monday morning....

Not happy with this team. With Welsh, Dyson and Slats back in the team we are slower and more predictable than the team we have had for the last few weeks. Lonergan is lucky to be in. Would have liked Reimers or Howlett over Lonergan. We get nothing out of this guy atm. This time we do have NLM, Hur...

Dissapointed about Howlett.

We will Be ok in defence. Hurley will drop back and nlm will come back in defence. Pears will be back as well. Would rather howlett than melky for this game.

Filthy's right the weather is terrible up there and is going to get worse into Saturday with high winds. We need a bunch of mud runners for this game. I would actually keep Lonergan and Howlett in the team and also bring Welsh in. In this type of game maybe it is better for Melky to rest his ankle a...

Feel for Williams missing the cut but would have liked to keep Tommy Oar instead of Garcia. Hope that we play Valeri in preference to Grella and would like to see Jedinak and Vidosic get some time. we look heaps better when all these young guys are in the midfield. Start Grella, KEwell and Bresc on ...

That would be a great effort for those two but i agree that Gussy in particular needs to do more. Its ok to kick maye 1 or 2 a weeks but i would love to see him really stamp his authority on a game and kick 4 or 5 more often. Was at the port Adelaide game and there was a period where he looked like...

Just going through some stats and worked out that if Monfires and Zaha continue their current averages they are on target to kick about 64 goals combined this year. Not bad for a pair of small forwards. Not sure if there would be a lot of other clubs getting that return. Would be even more impressiv...

Dukes was rubbish for Australia, so no need to worry there. However, how the f*** does Holman get a game? Rosso .. what the dickens are you talking about. Dukes was our best player ever ...didn't score a lot of goals but would always draw a couple of defenders and actually had a bit of class about ...

Very worried about this team. Apart from Kewell we don't have a game breaker unless Vidosic or Ruyka have a break out moment. I expect that Cahill will do something special but without a Viduka we will get pushed around by the good teams. Also worried about our defence. Moore and Beachamp are both p...

Re: 2-5 Where do we go from here?

The Draft

Dont get me wrong, I know a lot of the blame rests with Sheedy, but Knights backed these blokes in, when their limitations had been apparent to the rest of us for years. Robbie .. this says it all. I've been raving on about this for ages but you have summed it up here in one line. If we had a coach...

Agree Billy... everything you said makes a lot of sense. I'm glad we didn't go for Neil D ... I was always hoping for Hardwick but like others was willing to give Knights the benefit of the doubt. I'm over him and would love to have Buckley, Mathews or Brad Scotts .... someone with a plan b, some an...

I agree Filth .. I'm onto this as well. problem is that a lot of our guys don't have the frame to bulk up. No matter how much time winderlich and Dyson spend in the gym they literally don't have the frames to do this. Modern footy players need to by both physically fast and strong not one or the oth...

Bd... Sydney is the only exception in the last 10 years. One in ten are terrible odds. what's more they had a Strong (maybe slow) bodies, a home ground and a game plan that supported their negatve play. Yes you can win a Granny with a midfield of plodders but it isn't very likely in modern football....

I normally agree with most of you thoughts filth and this is no exception. I think you have summed this up well. Back to the market analogy... In this case we have an unproved director at the helm of a company that is tanking and there is no light a the end of the tunnel.. As an investor I wouldn't ...

Guys we don't need to search for reasons.. I've been saying since early preseason our midlfield is junk. Winderlich is having a bad patch because he is undersized and can't provide any grunt when we really need it. Dempsey is totally lost at the moment and the rest of our rotation are so slow... The...

GIMPs.. don't tell me you are Melton Boy.

Don't think it was just injuries that stopped him .. this guy made Fev look boring.

My friend told me he went with Azza to watch the Doggies play WestCoast at the Western Oval .. where he decided to throw a hot dog and hit Carl Langdon in the head.....
