      What's the latest news on Doyle?

      We're definitely feeling the loss of Ball.

        Doyle bites as usual, has been around too long... ummm. A stiff breeze was upon him on Thursday and he did his ankle again - season. Probably. Will Sangster was more value than "Eyebrow" Doyle.

        3 years for Chambers. It doesn't spell long-term thinking to anyone - does it?

        He actually rucked the centre for all of Carlton's 3rd quarter bursts and did well. They came at us off half-back.

              it least he's getting his body into position and getting his hand to the ball. the finesse and vision can be built upon that.

              can't see him being much use around the ground however.
              then again, i think it would be worth trying 15-16 players on field so what would i know

                Erickson , Shaw or Doyle MUST be a better option than this DUD

                Get rid of him - he is @@@@ing useless

                Ruckman who can't contribute anything except for the odd clearance are a Phucking liability

                Gelong must be laughing at us - it has been rumored that they were ready to de-list this joke when we offered them a 2nd round
                draft pick (plus a block of flats, a set of encyclopedias and Tasmania)

                  Hang on there..no need to get personal!!!!! None of us down here are related to Chambers so that wouldn't count.

                    Like Geelong's opinion matters? They have Kant Kicksley as their Full Forward. That alone has cost them many a game, yet they persist with him.

                    I say we should lay off him a little. True he has not shown great form so far, but he is very young, is still settling in, and its not like we have a lot of others to choose from.

                    It takes time to become a great ruckman. Cox started his career as an absolute hack behind Gardiner. They guy was on the chopping block at WC, almost got traded to two other clubs, and only got his opportunity because Gardiner went down with a knee injury.

                    Even Spida Burton was totally pathetic at Freo, reasonably useless at North, but somehow finished his career with arguably his best year as his last.

                    I'm willing to let him develop this year, and see how he goes next year before looking to cut him.

                      Maybe it was simply a desperate 'ruckman' pick up?

                        It'd be nice if we had that luxury that S-Man. But we need a decent backup ruckman now, not in two years. Unfortunately, Chambers aint it, and so far doesn't even look like developing into one.

                        I was interested in last night's game to compare him with Dylan McLaren, who was also recruited as backup ruck.
                        Code:
                                       K  H  P  M  HO  T  FF  FA  G  B
                        Paul Chambers  0  0  0  0  11  3  0   1   0  0
                        Dylan McLaren  4  4  8  1  11  3  2   1   1  0
                        And here's a link to their comparative stats for the season so far:
                        McLaren vs. Chambers
                        It makes you a bit sick to consider that Chambers cost us a 2nd-rounder, and McLaren cost Carlton nothing via the Pre-season Draft. Benefit of hindsight and all that, but McLaren always looked a better option, and it would've cost us less to get him.

                        Perhaps he didn't pass the 'no d**kheads' rule. So far though, the only d**kheads are the ones who passed up on McLaren in favour of Chambers.
                        To all those people who waited 72 years to see a South Melbourne/Sydney Swans premiership HERE IT IS!!

                          he hasn't done much for us so far, it's a shame we didn't play hardball to get Everitt up here, he would have been a big plus

                            Yeah we paid way over the odds for Chambers. I'm hoping that the talk of a 3 year contract is wrong otherwise we have stuffed up big time

                            (Teddy has been servicable so far but i suspect we paid way over the odds for him as well)

                            In respect of Mclaren I believe that we did pursue him but he was keen to get back to Melbourne

                            Hopefully Doyley is set for nex week

                              I actually thought Torture played better last night. I thought he actually tapped it well but the midfielders fumbled the ball on occassion.
