Been a while since he’s been suspended. Should go out with a bang and take Maynard out.

i will pay for flowers and choccies to b home deelivered to Dogyard's home.

Filth along with Cox and Dog Goey

awful lot

Great we will now cop the wrath of Collingwood & McCrae will have this team fired up for a top 4 finish.

The feral fans will be out in force & I can't see how our forward line can kick a winning score.

If only these other teams could have won over the weekend & take the filths top 4 spot

We're not about to pick Laurie, Woewodin, Brown or Billings after ignoring them all year. What would we gain by giving them this one game anyway?

Yes, because we can definitely trust Gold Coast to get the job done....

Exactly. Port at home will want to send Ken & boak off with a win. Gold Coast will crumble

Despite how bad Port have been of late, that game does have hallmarks of a Port win.

That would then leave GC to have to beat Essendon in the final game of the year to make their first ever finals series, and knock out the loser of WB-Fremantle.

The pressure on them to not choke would be so, so high...

I don't know why Sparrow gets a game? Been poor for 2 years now and only been dropped once. Why Turner didn't get Gunstan straight away is baffling. Howes refused to put body on Gunstan. van Rooyen doesn't lead enough. Until we can find a key forward that can kick goals and our midfield hackers can be replaced by players that can kick I'm talking about Petracca, Oliver and Viney we will go nowhere once again.

We are already mentally in Bali. It’s a shame as if we actually had a crack we could ruin the magpies season which would almost make this horrible year worthwhile.

Be realistic, we aren’t going to play a bunch of kids who have had all season to convince the selectors and haven’t done so when it’s most likely VFL wildcard round.

Melk will start and barring any issues Tommy Mc will too, farewell games for them both.

Someone in for Sharp, can’t say I care who, probably Spargo.

Caarryyyst surely we can do better than trescle slow Spargy?

You don’t think either will go around next year? I think melksham has been our best forward and one of only a few that can kick. Plugga has been decent too

I think it's a genuine 50:50 and we'll find out during the week. But if he decides its time to spend more time with his family I wouldn't be surprised at all. Go out on a high.

Could just be that we rested him as it's been a long year and the last thing he needs is a hammy that delays preseason, but I just have a feeling (no mail) that he might be ready to go out in good form

My hope is May elbows Maynard into next week and we win by a point after the siren to ensure the filth don’t make the top 4.

That won’t happen of course. Only a sadist would go to this game so full respect to any of you who attend next week. I might live 3000km or so from Melbourne but even if I lived on Punt Road I’d find something else to do….

Let's unleash AJ on that vile thug Maynard!

Time for a long belated revenge!

Carl Ditterich style! 🤣

Stupid. This does not happen any more.

Mores the pity on occasion and individual

If we play the same individuals as yesterday we will lose by 50 points if more, list of them have checked out for 2025.

Hawks had a reason to win. We did not.

Pies have a reason to win, we do not!

Dont even hope to get near them. Shiite though they are at the moment. Still we can dream

Petracca won’t even want us to win. He supports the other side and will want his boys in top 4.

I wouldn't change a thing,no point,get Cassy up and going as strong as it can and then we might have something to watch

None of them are AFL level players. Tried, dismissed.

soargo wont play so he can play the vfl finals, itll be basically unchanged, let casey have a proper crack at a flag, theyre red hot

melky farewell?? hes been our best forward he's absolutely worth another 12 months

if you want to make a change for sharp its either billings as a farewell afl game or lindsay if they havent shut him down for the year

God help us.

The way the collywobbles played against the crows compared to the way we played it will be a on sided game, AGAIN.

Silly comment

Must be why Buckley never ever tried against us, as he supported us as a kid (and had lifelong ambitions to coach us to multiple premierships)

My mail is that Lindsay is out for the season with calf or ankle problem.

By all accounts Kolt had a good game with Casey so unless one more game for seniors effects his eligibility for VFL finals he would have earned a reprieve.

Rest kossie so he doesnt get a 3 week holiday for a stupid bump

If Lindsay is out for the season then I want Laurie in who also had a good game. Don't want to see Sparrow or Sharp rewarded with ordinary performances.
