The Stigga

David King is right We need Petracca to play up forward fo the bulk of the game, need his creativity and strength

Yep I implore everyone going tonight, do not get baited, keep in groups, no eye contact, just walk on whatever is said

Can't overthink this, Massive 3 games coming up, against arguably 3 of the most in form CONTESTED teams in it. Let starts like yesterday happen again there may be no comeback, see Haw Coll on the weekend. Carlton backs are set up so well at the moment, we need to re-think how we do the forward line this week...

Lol if we are second by the end of the weekend

Not really, best bet is the overpriced food trucks outside the ground

And I wouldn't begrudge him at all. He gave all his energy, his essence, his ethereal being to the Flag in 21', he has nothing left to give, nor should he. He looks tired to me, mentally more than physically.

Yep harsh on Rivers JB, was one of our better players and has been so for several weeks. Future captain.

or carry on in a haze of purgatory...

Nope, Say our season came to a treacle, finish 13-10, lose the first final and bow out. Would you ask the question? Are we that gutsy?

So it's raining tonight it looks like...

I was expecting something like this:

Please post your thoughts on the game at approx 10.30pm tonight Dub...

Youve got to be joking, great at getting free and linking up forward, thought he was great yesterday.

And Van Rooyen in and McDonald to chop out in the ruck!!!

Hi 58er, Didn't mean to come across as negative, I suppose another year of speculation sounds exhausting, In relation to your response, GC from 2011 to very recently were rot, As were we from 2011-16, So yes retention was difficult, And you're right,Jackson, has been the only player of note in the past few years to leave, probably because we haven't been rot, Hence why arguably at the peak of our powers, it would be strange for 2 premiership players to leave, when money is a non-issue. I'm presenting a hypothetical based on Pickett leaving (whether he is intending to I have no idea) However last year's French Farce (LJ apparently taking up until the last hour to make up his mind) still lingers. If Pickett has already made his mind up to leave, I'd rather play Chandler instead (or Laurie).

hmmmm...... Jackson and possibly Pickett leaving in the space of 3 seasons, Two premiership players...strong list, apparently great environment...something ain't right, I hope Sir Hubris is as far away as possible from the joint... I note Noah Anderson signed on at GC for another few years, It's not that difficult is it?

This guy is the new Allen Jakovich

1cm taller than Naughton...

last article i could see on his last contract: https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/western-bulldogs-best-and-fairest-lachie-hunter-eyeing-new-fiveyear-deal/news-story/eff16c6d28b612bfa44928ef1ad67073 $600,000 a year, can't see it more than 7, Maybe they pay part of his salary?

Interesting, gathering steam Lamb's deflection comment may have been a message to WB that they were asking for too much

Tim Lamb just said on trade radio its 'in no man's land and probably unlikely' (paraphrasing)

200cm, back up ruck as well

Trade radio says future 4th

Sure, I wish them the world on that front, Cerra was a vital cog that wanted to go home, they were spooked, decided to go all WA in the draft, it was very much on purpose and I agree with them, Likewise what the hell is the point of using a high pick on someone not from these parts? Look at North today, its not worth the hassle, the worry, the constant [censored] in the media all year about it, Yeah Brayshaw and Serong might stay, great! Thats nothing to do with us. Tell me if you would be comfortable with using our first this year and next on someone from WA...? Please, none of you would...
