How do you reckon Finlayson is sleeping at the moment? Gawn then Jackson. We just need to make sure Dixon doesn't injury us. Maybe start LJ and leave Max for Dixon?

You are really blaming injuries and covid? We only have one long term injury in T Mac. Lions got smashed with covid last week and Freo earlier. Our 'luck' is fine. We need to work through it, steal ourselves and build into form for finals

I'm glad Bowey is getting a spell, not a bad first batch of games for the young man. play in the 2s and get better Tomo, Hunt and Dunstan coming in show we have good depth. Obviously we lose quality but we should keep system Also glad we are playing away, we need some time together to bond Viney is going to destroy Port. Will be a close game. If Port lose they can't make finals. I back us in to win a close one

So good to get a training report, you are a DL legend Picket!

Buddy is a legend but we would need to give him a 2 year deal so he would be 36 and 37yo during the contract. Too much of a risk. Leave it to the likes of the bombers/dogs who are in a position to take a punt on him. We need players that can play consistently

reckon we want to get them both back into form so play them if no risk. Not having Lycett barrel into them both is definately a positive!

if the Pies/Swans make the finals they don't concern me. Our midfield would crush them in a finals-type game Saints have an easy run (so do Pies) and I reckon could dislodge one of them

ridiculous comment! Clarko would have ZERO flags without high draft picks.

Whoever gets the job with North will be sacked within 2 seasons (unless they manage to get Clarkson) they need 3 more drafts of talent and will not improve much in next 5 years

fair enough!

I recommend the melkshake and a knuckle sandwich

Crazy to think that of that list of senior players in 2012, six of them left or were traded out

wasn't discussing the Roos years. by then we had lost most of the senior players I listed to other clubs or retirement/past their best. and another bottom out/rebuild was needed. No doubt in my mind Neeld had an ok list, certainly a lot better than 6 wins in 2 seasons

I didn't say I blamed Neeld alone. He had Green, Davey, Jamar, Dunn, Frawley, Grimes, Howe, Jetta, Jones, T Mac, Garland, Moloney, Rivers, Silvia Hardly stars but a lot more quality than North's list. A good coach could have had a 10 win+ season with the MFC 2012 list

No, we had already hit bottom (of that rebuild) before Neeld came and we had a decent group of senior players and some good kids. 7 and 8 wins in the previous two season. Neeld had a lot more to work with than Noble

What a joke. Don’t even give the bloke 2 seasons. He needs at least 3 to make any impact. They are still hitting bottom FFS. They fielded around 10 afl standard players on the weekend and around 5 good quality players of those 10. Norm Smith and Clarko would not have done any better

This is the Changes Demons thread? maybe keep the Lions/Lloyd BS out of it?

He is best player in the league that has played for Carlton

Easiest money I ever made bombers at $3.80. crazy odds considering Lions lost half their team. Bombers were poor. A middle table team would have thrashed the lions

Essendon have this game won. Lions look horrible which is understandable losing almost half your team

Reckon the crows should beat hawks today. Hawks in terrible form and lost key players also tipping the bombers. 9 changes too many and the bombers might go on a run which will help us

Fitting in well by the sounds, if in doubt say something disparaging about the English Thai Guinness is putrid, I’ll agree with that.

Did I mention up by 4 goals with 10 minutes to go and up by 10 points with 1:30 to go?! so so good!

The Irish just beat the Kiwis in New Zealand. Leave the pub immediately to secure safety. [censored] about to kick off!

Tigers up by 40pts us against the Suns. Biggest choke of the season! simply wonderful
