What's going on with Ziebell? A prize rookie who burst onto the scene in his debut year, but just hasn't looked the same since his broken leg.

the roos have had the making of a good future side for the last couple of years where they have really focused on the midfield and outside run.funny thing is for the last ten years we have not had a spine of any note esp down back
we are constintly out mussled and more importantly out thinked down back
grima was absolutely disgraceful on the weekend and more importantly so was scott for not making the move
the obvious choice being spud
as for taking gartlett off and replacing him with a defensive player was stupid
and can some one tell me why edwards was dropped,he is the only lead up forward we have
we stand as one
we fight as one
we win and lose as one
we are one

I wish Scott would hurry up and play Cameron Pederson!! 114 SC points and left in the cold for the last 4 games. Bit stiff I would have thought.

im a big rap for scott but he is starting to suffer because of his faith in a few
the fact that they have recruited the same size players and same positions is taking its toll
on the weekend for a big part of the game the midfields average age was 18 years old
when we then put swallow and harvey and wells in the middle the game would change again
maybe the mix has to be looked at
i would personally play wells across half back permanently and run edwards across half forward and leave him their
but to be brutally honest you are never going to win games when your players,including your oldest and best continue to go to ground
we stand as one
we fight as one
we win and lose as one
we are one

if i was in charge i would play him down back for the rest of the year just like the saints did with goddard.
let him run straight and he will soon get his confidence back in his leg
and he will learn to read the play ahead of time
what has happened to warren,i like the boy and he can play
we stand as one
we fight as one
we win and lose as one

Yeah Warren showed decent promise in the games I'd seen him play.

How's Speight going in the VFL and any word on Ed Lower's recovery from injury?

Yep a strange one from the Dutchman. Maybe Boak doesn't score quickly enough for Dutchy. :lol:

I was just calculating how many players, by SA Footy standards, are "rated".

Depends which board you frequent Mr Boon. I had a lurk over on the Portonian one and almost got bowled over by a giant tumbleweed! Maybe you could install some Bay covers in there ha ha.
