Woey into the starting line up. Disco or Petty i don't really care, both showing they are backmen not fwds, but they are both better than what we have in the VFL. Would like to see Kolt get a go think this kid can be our next Petracca. In time! 2

I tried to think of a team without Petty forward too- but it just can't be done. He simply is our best 2nd tall option. 2

If they don't come to play... don't lower their eyes some.....don't overuse handballs...and pedal to the metal.... then we'll get dacked. The filth have injuries, but they have ability, they have form, they have attitude, they have method and they have belief... By God I hate the bastards... But I respect them. We should too. They'll have little for us. 3

Yeh unfortunately we don't have options, it's him or Turner, and i think he is a better option than turner.....just. 1

We seem to turn the ball over around the CHF line way to often looking for a 15m kick on the 45 which opens us up straight down the middle. 1

Perhaps....sharpen their eyes.. This need to handball ad nauseam...meh. It needs a thread of its own but good footy is a compendium of styles,a myriad of disposals etc... about picking the best option. We often when kicking blaze away as opposed kick to advantage. Poor footy nouse and/or poor skills. I seriously don't get how elite level players forget good football sense... 2

They'll have little for us. For me high up on the ‘hate list’ is Cox and Maynard (and used to include Ginnivan). That aside they are a very good side and play an exciting brand of football. It is their supporter base that l absolutely despise. No better example was when the ferals last year started chanting ‘Collingwood’ while Brayshaw was knocked out cold. It made me very angry. Still am! The KB game for me is ‘our little final in June’. I just don’t want us to win, I want to see Collingwood get smashed….so that I can soak up the crowd atmosphere. (Even better in some ways when we will be vastly outnumbered). GO DEES. 7 2
praha 11,267 Posted June 6, 2024 Posted June 6, 2024 Can anyone spare a ticket for Monday? I didn't think I'd be able to attend and it appears all AFL Reserve is completely sold out. As too are club members and GA. 1

Not sure if they’re still available now. You can find out by emailing - [email protected] and asking if there’s any left.

TMac is finally playing some really good footy, we would just ruin another backman by moving him. Hold Petty/Disco for now and pray Melksham just falls straight back into his form from last year 🙏 4

It’s their home game so they control all the ‘activations’ pregame and halftime. Even if it was our home game it wouldn’t happen anyways. The most we were free to do in round one was to all wear Gussy helmets, but we can’t wear them on Monday since we’ll be wearing this year’s Big Freeze beanie. I’ve been PM’d some awesome banner content suggestions from posters on here. Thing is, I doubt they’d even be considered. Remember, the AFL don’t want the Gus travesty highlighted, for obvious reasons 😑

Don’t need Pies or AFL’s approval for that. 2 1

Remember, the AFL don’t want the Gus travesty highlighted, for obvious reasons 😑 It might be sensitive for Angus but the club could make Gus our Concussion Ambassador. Spread the health and research efforts not only that he is already aware of but promote other activities. There are more comprehensive testing and assessing tools that are being introduced and Gus could be involved in highlighting these. Start with our club and force the AFL to join this initiative. Promote his situation at our home games and let us all celebrate and recognise his personal knowledge. He can then as a former player have a greater credibility as an influencer to other players and clubs. 1
