its amazing what winning games of footy does. Lose today and Gawn foot turns out to be  more of a 6-8 week injury. 

I heard he was dead halfway through the first…

Bowey is really struggling at the moment. Rivers might be a better option.

I didn’t see that tonight 

Bowey is struggling? He was perfectly fine tonight. Played his role.

Not struggling, but he’s fumbling some tough ground balls and losing some winnable aerial contests. I think his speed and smarts still give him the edge, but down back there’s at least genuine pressure for spots.


No change. 

Bowey was fine tonite.

Gawn said he'll be back to play Adelaide I'm backing him in. Out Weideman.

 

No Max. You can play against Geelong down at Mordor. They can take care of Adelaide.

No change.

 

Agree, no change for next week.  As an aside I heard Neal Bullen say on ABC radio after the game that Viney’s speech to the players prior to the game and at half time was inspirational.

Just like Gawney in last year’s GF told the coaches to keep Jacko on the ground in the centre bounces in the 3rd quarter  I wouldn’t put it past him to let Viney speak to the playing group come this GF when we are playing whoever if he thinks it will help the crew.  


If Gawn plays I will be disappointed. I love the guy but get him right. Don't take a risk with him.

I wouldn't mind seeing Disco coming back he was good until he got knocked out but Rivers is the obvious choice if we drop bowzer.

If Viney has the slightest niggle rest him until the finals.

Bedford deserves a run of games. 2 very well taken goals, applied pressure and linked well with kossie a few times. 

no changes for me

No change.

He's a clean as Oliver at ground balls as a rule. He didn't nail them last night, but we were rarely caught out defensively after the first quarter, so he executed his role.

yep, forward line had a nice balance last night, was good to see the small forwards dancing around the slow Brisbane backline.

Um I dont think Bowey is in the side to win aerial contests. Often he stays out of them.

I think his form of late has been ordinary, perhaps Rivers in.....

Was that a call out to the WINGers club?

Edited by Demon_spurs

Hopefully no change, but slightly worried about how Viney's corky might pull up during the week.

I guess Dunstan in for him if it's needed.

He will be fine.  We have another 9 day break to the next game.

Wild horses and wild bulls couldn't keep him from playing. 

I would say no change, not sure what the weather will be like. Rivers I would like in but happy to let it ride. 

Even if Max wants to play I would give him another week off. No change

Yeah, bring him back for the following one vs Geelong.  Because of the bye/fixturing it will be about 3.5 weeks since the injury.

He said a highlight of 2021 was beating Geelong three times!!  Like their feline mascot, they would be hissing and spitting at that comment. 

He won't want to miss a trip to the kittens' playground.  Inflict more hurt.

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
