Just Harry O being himself. I used to hope he’d get help, but he obviously hasn’t. The only thing I glean from this is that Harry O still isn’t well. Get help Harry

Jackson will handle 80% ruck load if TMAC and Brown can ruck the fwd line. We may be able to bring Weideman in if Lever is out, and trial him down back, and have him ruck the back line. Something like that.

I think St Kilda the worse side we’ve played this year. 3-4 goals of theirs inflated the score line. They controlled 30-35% of the game, maybe even more, but couldn’t score - which is actually to be expected. Most their score came from dubious decisions. Bring on next week, I think we played well today but probably running about 70% still

Massive. Especially considering both of their goals weren’t even legit. Kings was touched off Mays back and also off of another player, and their other goal was a 50/50 play where petty or king could’ve received a free.

They had a great quarter the saints and only advanced a goal.

Great goal Brown has been huge today

Pickett legged and then pushed in the back

Kings last goal wasn’t a mark and it’s turned the game.

That wasn’t a mark. Not even nearly. Just really terrible decision to call that a mark.

They only call ours out.

We are tripling King in the air and have Membry covered. Our mids are applying pressure. I can’t see them piling on goals. We are a bad match up for them. They aren’t used to losing the ruck battle so we have them on the back foot from the bounce.

That’s awesome. They will struggle now without having a goal on the board. Pressure builds.

Training run for Geelong.

GWS are useless. What a friendly game of football.

GWS are poorly coached. Must be a Sydney thing. Players happy to get a kick, just hack it on the boot. Pretty pathetic to continue seeing this. GWS are terrible. Sydney not much better. Geelong just barely going here and winning as they like. One of the easier wins you’ll see.

Perfect fit. We need two things - a wing and another A-grade mid. Both of which would be luxuries. But to have two attacking wings in Langdon and Amon, provide a lot of drive forward. We have two exceptional kicks down back in Salem and Bowie, who can help utilize both wingers. Speeds us up, and that makes us harder to stop up forward. Amon is massive for us. We get him, and good luck to the opposition. We pretty much control all areas of the ground if we can land Amon.

In great form but doesn’t fare well against tall, mobile athletic types like King brothers and Norton. So I do hope we don’t man him on King this week. Petty is practically made to man King. May is as good as advertised, and one of the best full backs I’ve seen. Just none of the full backs in the past had to man the prototype forwards going around today. Possible exception of Rance.

We would have to offer Essendon our first round pick for them to take up a large portion of Shiels contract. Maybe even first and second. Shiel is on 800k a year. I don’t see Essendon taking up half of his contact for just a first rounder. I can’t see a real workable deal. Maybe throw in Tom McDonald if he finishes the year well, as Essendon do need a veteran forward to decoy for Wright. Even then, the only way I see Shiel to Dees is if Essendon are desperate to get rid of him, and no other clubs are interested in him. But, the interest in Shiel is practical, as he is what we need, and most definitely appears on the outer at Essendon.

We are that good. Eagles are also terrible. Richmond are still Richmond. Still well drilled and still play to a plan, well structured. Essendon have looked decent since we played them and they put a show till late.

Richmond are still a top 8 side. We belt sides, and it doesn’t make them ordinary. We are that good.

Easy. Liam Patrick

Jackson makes more sense for them. Their rebuild will be long and times hard. English ain’t their man, they should chase Jackson. No doubt they’ll need to throw everything and the kitchen sink at him to get there, but they should try. Good for them and us, either way for us - we are win/win. That’s just the nature of the beast. Jackson may have 2 flags under his belt by seasons end, and decide he’s content, let’s move home, completely cash out, and be part of a rebuild. Or he decides to be part of probably one of the most successful teams ever to play the game, and be well paid, whilst still playing with close mates, in a state the breathes footy. It’s probably 70/30 our way I’d think.

I don’t really see the point

Gawn can be the most dominant ruck the game has seen and still lose club b&fs to Oliver. Oliver is the best midfielder in the whole history of Australian Rules football. It’s been around for over a century now. He is already that guy.
