Trying to not waste my time arguing buttholes

I think Oliver is replaceable but prefer him playing. I wonder if Culley is seen as a possible replacement?

When does the team get announced, it seems to get later and later. I miss the old days of Thursday night team announcements

So looking back at this thread idk if anyone heard but it sounds to me like some people think this game may be a danger game…

For a team that was thrashed by North Melbourne on the way to a 2-5 record, every game is a danger game.

Fair bit of chat on this thread that the Eagle's match is danger game. I reckon the only sense in which it's a danger game is the fallout of a loss.

This is the first time all season I've been confident of win.

They can have as many crisis meetings as they like but that won't change the fact they are clearly not fit enough and are coming off a six-day break (after having to fly from Melbourne, after a late Sunday arvo game, and arriving back in Perth midnight Sunday night

I think we will:

• look to attack and be aggressive with our ball movement from the get-go

• really look to spread them and use the width of Optus oval

• do so by using short kicks to switch and hit up players leading at the ball carrier

• control the tempo with short kicks until we can 'press go' and then go forward quickly

• use the corridor more than we have been

• use lots of long forward handballs

• kick our highest score thus far

• win by 64 points

If we don't win the fall out will be vicious.

So many things in our favour and the fact we're playing on a Sat night is an added bonus.

Enough with the politics talk.

Like for like in my book, but I think Laurie probably has earned the call up.

Happy for people to discuss how we cover Clarry’s absence on the field, but please respect his privacy when it comes to his mental health. Let’s wish him well and leave it there.

Feel better soon Clarry

Goodwin said before round 1 he still has work to do to get back to his best, I think this is all part of that journey, good news is it sounds like him and the club are on the same page these days.

I’m going

Out: Fullarton and Oliver

In: JVR and Laurie

I hope the media and the football world can just leave Oliver alone this week, and get on with the business of the games and players involved.

I'm sure there'll be plenty to talk about. Hopefully one of those things is 3 in a row for the Dees.

Assuming this is a joke? It is the same time/same day every week. Which is a Thursday. At 6.30pm

I enjoyed watching prime Clarry. Chill out Jaded.

I find the notion that we should be lying about a mental health issue puzzling. Not sure who that helps.

INS – Melksham, Turner
OUTS – Oliver (personal), Fullarton (omitted)

If it was a joke then I would have made it funnier, and FYI I checked after I wrote (which I should have done before), and the AFL site tells me it's actually 6:20 (so there!)

melk is past it, should have been adams or sestan poor selection once again.....

No back up for Max (not even JVR)

Shortsighted IMO
