Agree! Bargain-basement, big Ben Brown booting bags. Beautiful.

Cheers. I have always liked the look of him, but it is a good point that he needs it delivered on a platter. That takes skill, which we do not have.

Ben Brown apparently being pushed out by the Roos

Great post. The faux outrage does my head in, especially since we all have struggles going on at the moment. May wisdom prevail

Yep. I really like him. Has a bit of that Cam Pedersenesque spirit to him, will play beyond the expectations of his talent. Also seems to know that a footy bounces in an odd fashion, and gets himself to the right spots.

Surely we would look at Ben Brown. I know he is goofy and had a rubbish year, but the bloke is an old-school lead/mark forward. Precisely what we need, along with another rebounding defender IMO. I would have said another winger too, but I thought Baker showed enough to have another go around.

That Rory Lobb approach to goal is something else. Not just the twinkle toes stutter, he literally waves the footy around in a circle, must be a raffle every time he has a shot

There is something particularly distasteful about that Wallis chap....Something in the way his mouth guard interacts with his hair style.

Great analysis of something you refuse to watch.

Extremely angry and abusive message at ‘Fork em’ deleted

The issue is that this describes Simon Goodwin's qualifications

It's 15h and I can't believe I haven't started drinking. Hope you're well mate, and the tinder prospects know how to run and tackle

It is seriously an abusive relationship. Talking to the old man last night, both head in hands at the prospect of what would be dished up today (anybody’s guess) and, not for the first time, he apologised profusely for what he had gotten me in to when he stuck a Dees jumper on me for my first vickick 30 years ago.

Jesus, even Binman has stopped rummaging through the skip. Anything remaining from my helpless hope has just departed, I fear.

Absolutely my go to. Just gotta listen for the bounce and hit play

Definitely a recognisable brand of football ✅

I dunno... OMac to the forward line? ? This [censored] club.

You are spot on mate about the measures against the pandemic and that’s not the arrogance I meant. Among my WA (WC supporting) family was full expectation that it would be handed to them. That arrogance is pretty typical of how they enjoy their footy, but it could also just be my family ? Apologies if I offended. My parents live in the other WA now, in the US. Bloody awful not knowing when you can see them again.

I am seriously shocked that: 1. The AFL did the right thing instead of jumping in the WA scrooge McDuck swimming pool of coins 2. WA's arrogance will not be rewarded

Ech. Can't you go and support Essendon or something?

Please excuse totally self indulgent post. was meant to get married yesterday, but as we’ve seen 2020 is the ever changing year. Me and the missus went full, Gil-style agility and postponed it all in March. So instead we took ourselves off to the only forest in the Netherlands for some wet-weather camping (play at ground level, keep moving it forward) and I deliberately ignored the game, probably for the first time since 2009 or so. It was blissful... ...until the old man msged me and gave me the good news. Petracca a raging bull, May so solid you could build a political platform on putting him at a border, Clarrie down but lifted hugely in the last and, shock horror, Goodwin knows how to coach. In the year of constant change, I am so stoked we have changed from full-pelt ballistic chaos to structured tempo. For what it’s worth I think this game showed the player development that has come from Goodwin’s long term coaching. What has often looked frustratingly like stubbornness and inaction to us, I am hoping, has actually been Goody testing and demanding the players to respond themselves to the game being played. They did that. It was not pretty but it feels solid. Speaking of solid, can’t believe the rumour mill around Jack Viney going for a poo. It was certainly an over scrutinised play in the guts and I’m sure he was singing along the team song as he sat atop his throne. (Not the most analysed sporting poo in recent times though, was at Pune when Matty Renshaw had to run off with the runs in the middle of a year innings. Anyway, Go Dees

Not good for our chances but Doggies putting Cats away in first ten mins does make me feel mildly better about last week.

I would also like to see Goodwin be more creative during the game, but if the mids don't run hard enough and the forwards can't pressure to a high enough standard then that's not about game plan.

Looks like we are the Collingwood this week

Would take the opinion of a player inside the four walls over the prejudice of supporters who haven’t seen him play for more than a year. An amazing thing about life is that people can improve...but nah this bloke must still be a [censored].
