AFL 2005 - Season Previews

Went and saw the boys train at tigerland today,

They generally looked alright, tambling didnt look himself and either did chaffy, i head tambling might miss the Geelong game (i hope not) but he didnt train that well today.

Gasper still didnt impress me :roll:

One guy that did, Kelvin Moore (no. 40) he looked great, i hope he starts against geelong. I cant wait till sunday!


Oh, and richo might lack discipline, but atleast we can see that he puts 100% into everything, and thats why he gets frustrated, because (last year) it seemed like he was one of the very few putting heaps in. On richo, he has bulked up even more in the offseason!! big bloke, will be hard to stop.


And finally, what ever happen to jurica, he used to be one of my fav players back in 95.

Besides the fact he was crap? lol

& I agree on Richo but the simple fact is no matter how long he has been around / how undisciplined he may be. He is still able to run any defender in the competition bar 1 ragged.

lol, i remember a game, against the kangaroos on a friday night i think. i think we kicked a few quick goals early and jurica had an awesome game! lol i could be wrong but thats what i think of when i think of jurica. I'll have to pull out some old videos

Was that 1995?

We kicked about 10 goals in the first quarter that night lol

& for the record Kev, I stand by all my comments last week.... money bags did nothing in the first quarter when it was actually a contest. Only stood up when Richmond took the cowards way out and laid down their arms after quarter time.


(They should have been 4 goals up at quarter time - They are better than they perform, there just seems to be some sort of sickness in the club)

Yeh 95, friday night footy? it was AWESOME!



And, gotta agree the club just doesnt know HOW to win. Which why im worried about this weeks game.

Noticed a distinct lack of media giving Ottens a blow job this week...

9 possessions and 0 goals, 2 behinds would do that I suppose.... I'm right Kev...............

What a difference 2 months makes ;-)

For Richmond or Judas?

He's still not worth the 500k Geelong are paying him ......

I think cammers is referring to my pre-season ladder predictions, but I can't be sure.

Looks like sheer comic relief in some areas, but I've correctly called Hawthorn for the spoon; and Melbourne, West Coast & St Kilda will all make the four (along with Geelong).

I should have stuck with my original thinking about placing Carlton in the bottom four, but I'll wear Adelaide & Richmond performing above expectations, and Port performing (to this point) well below.

On Ottens... Not worth $500k per season, but then few would be if I was in charge, as I think that should be an absolute ceiling figure for the competition.

However, I've seen Geelong on a few occasions and Ottens has certainly improved them up forward. He may even make enough of a difference to deliver them the flag. A player like Brown or Reiwoldt WOULD deliver them the flag, but he's not in that class.

He's doing okay though.
