Sorry, from your original post it sounded like you wanted Fritsch dropped, as you'd left him out of your starting bench. Hence my comment.

Closer to etihad than the G, width wise

He says Essendon are not pursuing Gaff, while Melbourne and St Kilda are not confident of getting him

I'd be amazed it Fritsch is dropped before Spargo.

I'd take Kent, Melk, Fritsch and either JKH or Hannan from that bench

Spargo stays. Named in the starting 18

Fell over with a beautiful Petracca kick coming at him in the middle. Went up the other end straight away

Like [censored] the players are hurting. They were supposedly hurting after end 23 last year. And after the first game against Geelong, and the game against the Saints, and the second game against Geelong. They just can't handle the pressure against top 8 sides. It's pathetic how hard they make it for themselves.

4.14. Could be 5 or 6 goals up. Classic

Our kicking is disgraceful. We are killing ourselves here

Good article for the insights it provides on Claret. Not particularly well written though (waste size?) Glad it has clicked for him. It doesn't for a lot of talented youngsters, as we well know.

Heath Shaw now injured. Looks like a knee

Both then kick goals. Don't dream it's over

Honestly, it's still a fairly small, very cold town. Great place to live if you're a not into big cities and don't mind the cold though.

Living in canberra, in got invited to the game with a whole bunch of 'rugby' people. I happily declined, and am now sitting in front of the heater watching it on the TV, as opposed to freezing my ass off explaining the game

Fat side is the side of the ground with the most space to lead in to. For example, if you are on the right hand flank, then the left hand half of the forward 50 is the fat side. Been used as a term in footy for yonks.

Ryder done for the day

You by the sounds of it! I love the idea of flying... it's the motion sickness that kills me

Wouldn't you love to be a senior coach. "Hey Mahns, I need a business class flight to Adelaide... just gonna go catch the Port-WC game"

8.14 now? Could have wrapped this up already

Or Harmes, if they choose not to tag a mid

Andrew Brayshaw not holding a grudge https://coupler.foxsports.com.au/api/v1/article/amp/afl/im-not-going-to-hold-a-grudge-fremantle-young-gun-andrew-brayshaw-forgives-west-coast-star-andrew-gaff/news-story/5b07c86ede27b1166d449bc8dd0877e2?__twitter_impression=true

They've given us nothing with the teams. Extended bench because of a Sunday game, and only ANB a lock on that bench, with the other 3 from JKH, Bernie, weid, pedders, hunt, Kent and Hannan.

I've heard from a good source that Andrew, Andrew, Hamish, Gus, Elvis and Nessie had all played a round of lawn bowls last week...

DL and Redleg beat me to it. I wonder if Gaff will chat to Angus when he is in Perth next week? And I wonder if Gus will go over early
