    Almost certain Petracca swam over there.

    I heard,  he towed a Pantech over the Nullarbor last night...  arrived early this afternoon. ?

    I inquired into players making a human pyramid once before and was informed it was against the rules for players to stand on each other’s shoulders in front of the goals. I thought I had successfully come up with a way to hack the game.

    You are correct Ethan. They cannot piggy back or intentionally lift a teammate or pyramid up to increase the chances of touching the kick for goal. Having said that, I'd like them to try the Aussie Eurovision contestant's balancing pole

    That is not positive - Preuss is needed.

    We play better with him in the side imo. Gives us something different up forward and big support for Gawn. He is in our best 22.

    Me too dazzler. Always love seeing new players and i didn't like Petty getting only the one game last year. Exciting.

    How do you see them playing Petty?

    I suspect they may play him as the lose man, goal keeper role Frosty has been playing allowing him to take Darling or Kennedy Kennedy. Good hands and reads the ball well by all accounts. Not sure how good his kicking is but has to be better than Frosty. Gig challenge for Frosty and OMac. If Petty plays well and keeps his spot, one of those players will come out for Lever.

    Pretty much just answered for me.

    Petty's kicking is very neat and clean. Go watch his under 18s highlights and you will see someone who ises the ball extremely well.

    Ok, so what have we done here. A couple of running machines, and a couple to give some flexibility. Preuss is one dimensional. Have a look at Viney’s words during the week, I sense that these lads have a point to prove here. West Coast aren’t travelling all that well, and they bring in a guy who they say will only play 60% game time. Smacks of arrogance. This game will will go down to the wire, and at $3.70, if you have a lazy $200.............

    No Preuss, so again maxy will be targeted and without proper ruck support. 

    What happened last time we played em with one ruck!!!!!!

    FMD some of these selections do my head in. 

    Preuss is in Perth, isn't he ?

    That's great.

    Our two biggest deficiencies kicking skills and speed, in that order. Petty helps with kicking and Baker with speed.

    What about leaping above the man on the mark like trying to  take a hanger.  Line up several blokes to try in turn in case you don't time it right.

    I have always wondered why players don't propel teammates in the air as they do in rugby line outs, though instead of lifting them lock their hands together and hoist them up like they do in the circus.. Imagine how high a big fella could fling a little fella.       Would make stopping goals a lot easier.

    Is that against the rules?

    Gill will have a problem of how the little fella comes back down to earth,  deepleted of Oxygen.

    I don't think we would take him on a long plane flight for note.

    As someone has said,  maybe Oscar is out...  or maybe Gawn flays forward.

    Maybe de Tracta is out ?

    I believe that Preuss could possibly play. Tom Hickiey  WCE is their ruckman and named as an emergengy and could come in to double team with Vardy.  Preuss would have to travel with the team.and could play regardless and he is our insurance for Gawn. Petty to play key back  and Omac to be replaced by Preuss  I hope.   Why would Preuss be an  emergency? How lucky is OMAC? 

    Can't wait to see Oskar Baker play.

    It’s ok the umpires will just give you a warning for it, then the AFL will come out in support of the umpires claiming they made the right call in the spirt of the game, then the AFL will hand a whopping great fine to all the players involved in the pyramid scheme claiming they brought the game into disrepute.

    Sounds a lot like our 'not guilty' tanking fine of $500k!

    The AFL  may be upset they missed out on the pyramid scheme. Some people made a lot of money from those things in the 80s, from what I remember.

    Scrapping the barrel here I fear. Neither Oscar or Harrison have done enough consistently at VFL level to warrant a call up. But these are desperate times so let’s hope they put in blinders or at least contribute.

    We excel at going ugly inside 50. The challenge is to get it in quick enough so that the forward line is not clogged up

    That's the key element and IMO unless he gets the late call up probably why Pruess may be out.

    Need to be winning the ground balls inside 50, Big Pruess lacks mobility and could be a very dewy night in Perth if tonight is any indication

    Yep it’s cold here tonight that’s for sure...much colder and more dewy tomorrow night also...looking forward to it.

    Agree on Preuss

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
