Great effort AFF. There has been a deliberate emphasis on putting out a bigger side this year which makes a nice change from the small lean sides of past decade or so.

We are still probably missing that one big/tall solid defender who can handle the gorilla opposition forwards. We also need Maric to stay healthy so we don't go back to getting smashed in the ruck.

I agree with you in that we need a massive FB to take control and bring fear in to the opposition ala Mick Martyn from the Kangas

[Stripes]

Jackson Trengrove would have been that big bodied tall defender. Hopefully Post or even Griffiths can turn into that...

Good Job AFF! I bet you do a wicked tax return.

I try not to pay any tax

Right on cue last night's game drove home that we desperately need to find a big bodied defender. Sadly it looks like we'll have to wait until the trade/draft/free agency period to find one as it doesn't look like we have one on our list already. Postie sure ain't it after last night .

Griff?? Maybe Darrou or Wright in the future?

[Hellenic Tiger]

Should have gone harder on Alipate Carlisle last year.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Darrou and Wright are still young but have to get on a steep learning curve if they are.

Coburg tomorrow has Angus G lining up at CHB.

[Penelope]

after last night i want to see griff play CHB and play there well.

would much prefer to see him push post out of the backline than miller out of the forward line. i can wait 12 months for elton to do that.
