Least he shouldn't  get 50 for Ump abuse.

What about hands raised 50m penalites? Although they have relaxed that one a bit.

Better than Fritsch - you're joking surely!

I really hope you understood what I wrote Old. 

I said better at ground level. Especially in the wet.

If we dont make any changes and lose I would suggest that we lost the game at the selection table

Yep, no players kick to him when he is wide open anyway

Selection table(s) week after week when opportunity rather than neccesity presented itself

I was thinking the exact opposite

If we make changes, eg, rest players for the PF and lose, we lost it at the selection table

So Goodwin has decided that to take the best ruckman in the league away from the ruck and play him in the forward pocket was not a sensational idea? If only he read Demonland. 

Yep, the time to debut JVR was 6 weeks ago. It's too late now. You cannot bring in a child to play a key role against men who have 200+ games of experience behind them. The best thing about Melksham is that he knows how to drag the interceptor away from the contest. JVR would have no idea how to do that yet, and he isn't proven enough to demand a key defender on him. 

It is a super duper risky move, that could actually set him back.

However, it's balls to walls time and we have everything to lose. So if they do bite the bullet I will support it.

Maybe sitting next to Yze, Stafford and co in the box, needs to be a demonland representative suggesting DL best ideas

Or if you are a medi-sub, which counts towards your games tally, but never actually make it on the ground.

I can't believe our season could be over tomorrow night

I think we are all a little nervous about this one. We should win, but the artillery barrel had been bent slightly - enough to predict that our team is a lesser self than it was previously. The snot goblins will be out to achieve an AFL spectacular - otherwise known as a Brisbane win from behind expectations - so we can expect a reasonably steep incline on the playing field. It is going to be tough and seemingly unfair under such circumstances. Let's just hold our heads high, whatever the result.

Lets also make a huge amount of noise, and act like Collingwood supporters. Just for 4 quarters, then please switch back straight after the game :)

That must stop on Friday. He is so often 'out there in the wilderness of space' that he has created to spectate on the ball sailing way over to a congested mess for team rectification. He's as good as Caleb Daniel and is wasted on the field.

The victim mentality and whinging about the umpires has started early this week.

Question for @binman 

If Petracca is more likely to play more time forward and ANB’s main job is to cover Petracca’s opponent defensively in the middle when he plays in the middle. 
 

Surely there is no need for ANB and he is first dropped after his last couple of games..

I’m no ANB fan, but the same situation applies. He’s just covering 2 HBF’s instead of one and a mid

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
