I think I'd prefer Hunt to Hibberd - just a little more versatile in that he's able to play forward. I fear that Weightman would be too 'agile' for Hibbo although it may be Bowser on Cody. If Gus was too slow for Smith then Hunt could take him and Gus to Hannan may be an option.

Max has been added to the chimney. Steve's house (in Jan Juc) to feature in the Geelong Addy tomorrow. I'm sure all our Cat supporting mates will be lining up early to make sure they get a copy. Not!

We played the Dogs at the Western oval in the penultimate round of 1991. The Coode Island fire 5 days earlier had engulfed the whole area in a thick black toxic cloud. Whilst it had cleared by match day I wore a face mask as I walked past the home crowd to the Barkly St goals. It drew quite a few laughs from the locals. Aside: face masks were rarely worn in them olden days.

No photos please.

I'm channel surfing. How's Stef Martin going? Can't possibly run out the game.

I'm thinking Hibbo on Hannan although Mitch plays tall. Doubt Smith will replace Hibbo.

No semblance of a system.

I'm a 50+ year member and I thought I was fanatical. John (in the second pic) went to every game before the lockdown - MCG, Docklands, Canberra (by car), Hobart (not by car) and Adelaide (by car).

My mates in Jan Juc got busy today:

Is there the equivalent of DemonDeb (of the Qld Demons) who could co-ordinate deserving 'recipients'? Myself and a few mates are all Redlegs. And just remind me; are our barcodes transferable (I haven;t read all the preceding posts)? Aside: please do not PM me.

Nail'd it Joeboy.

Ratugolea out and Tom Stewart in, just to stick it up Doc Larkin. Oh, wait.

I've been saying it for a while, Tom Sparrow has very good skills.

Jayden Hunt had Tightrope surgery and if he's not in full training he's very close to it. I'd be surprised if he is not available for the PF.

I reckon Petty is improving each week. Far more confident than he was early in the year. Also there was an element of OMac/Frosty about him when he did get a possession.

I saw it and thought it was pretty good. Funny that the Lions didn't get 'equal time'.

Welcome aboard Cam Mooney.

Seems Salem might have been on Cameron. I Smith fails I'd give Bowser a crack.

Last round 1987 by the length of the straight (and I was there as a 13 yo in 1964).

Agree. As my mate, a very astute football observer says, Hibbo is 'a one trick pony'. He was poor against the Giants (3 disposals) and his fumbles against both Dogs and Hawks cost us dearly IMO. I'm thinking either JJ or Nate as medi-sub. JJ having more speed than Nate would be my pick,

Ooooooo raaaa..tsio

I too, was at that game as part of the cheer squad, and remember that goal as though it was yesterday.

None more than RDB. It was fantastic to see the shots of him in the stand this year. Alas, none if we do make the big dance this year.

My favourite player in the early sixties. I'm thinking Clint may be a tad effusive.

I get the impression that the AFL want to complete the season ASAP and, as such there'll be no bye. I reckon all 5 remaining matches (after this weekend) will be played at Optus. Same quarantine conditions for all teams. Neutral ground for all teams is a bonus.
