I'm trying to prepare myself but I will not take it well if he leaves

Out of contract star??? He has a contract. Will have a contract all bloody season, he is a kid. RELAX!

Thanks mate i knew the trains were bad but 10 hours? you come in from Belgrave? how many bus transfers? *sorry just being dumb

We are great shape Honestly, what could go wrong from here?

A return to manic pressure and tackling. High intensity play that leads to long kicks, mopped up by Lever and co to propel us forward

Grand final is the pass mark for the next 3 seasons of no major injuries harsh but a reality

Got it! they all played at least one game for Melbourne

not me, i walk to the pub and don't waste money on food. so the $150 is all on booze!

Anyone that reckons Tommo can play fwd or wing, needs to re-watch the games when he played there. He's been tried many times at Giants and with us. He can only run in straight lines. He is a decent/good backman and that's it imo

Go to home games and go to pub for away games just costs a H&A membership.

It's not the 2018-19 Hunter we have. He has trailed off a fair bit in recent years. Was dropped by the dogs last year No question on his ability but let's see if he has the mentality, focus and drive to earn a spot and keep it

I reckon the Dogs may be the other. The Pies will slide with a tougher draw, but maybe not out of the 8

according to Sportsbet Freo are around even money to make the 8 with 8 teams shorter odds. Port and Carlton could well displace them this could be a beautiful draft hand we have this year. and coming off winning our second flag, who can stop us?!

he’ll be back running in a week? thanks mate thats a relief

what did you say that wasn’t accurate? i haven’t got all day but i’ll help you out a little, you said AFLW players are lauded as amazing athletes which rarely happens in comparison to the mens. then you said they are lauded as legends and every article us the same which is so incorrect it’s not even worth expanding on. Then you say you haven’t seen her play! wow. what are you even doing on this thread? and the few articles pumping up womens footy, why do you think that is? maybe coz women have only been able to play footy for a decade whereas men have had it for over a century. and they still cop heaps of [censored] about it for no reason from insecure men

hard to find words to express my feelings. she is an amazing person, has and will inspire countless generations and has set the foundation for years of success at the demons what a leader. hopefully we name our BnF after her

a hammy strain for Gawn is clearly bad news given his age and importance to the side. the next block of preseason 4-5 is arguably the most important so let’s hope it is very minor. with Schache pretty much our only real option after Grundy, and a poor one at that, we need a bit of luck with injuries in the ruck department

what part of Dingos post implied panic? a simple question is all. Relax

If both Grundy and Gawn go down we are screwed. There is no real back up but makeshift replacements

Fair enough mate. Agree to disagree

B: Lever, May, Bowey HB: Salem, Petty, Brayshaw C: Langdon, Petracca, Hunter HF: Harmes, McDonald, Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch, van Rooyen, Pickett FOLL: Gawn, Oliver, Viney IC: Grundy, Sparrow, Spargo, Rivers EMG Sestan, Jordon, Brown, Turner

Cox was a great mover and has Gawn covered for foot skills But Gawn has Cox covered in pure ruck work and contested marking Both Guns, hard to split

Andrew gets a 2 week suspension for drink driving De Geoy beats the hell out of a innocent guy, forcibly touches a woman and ends up a NY jail, and gets.... Zero weeks Makes sense!? *2 weeks for Andrew seems reasonable to me btw

no I mean before he was injured. He was dropped for Anzac eve game based on poor form. 15 goals from 10 rounds in the top team with the best midfield and a percentage of 161 is average by anyones standards Like I said, I like him and he is an important player for us, but he was far from a star in 2022

I like T Mac and he has played some good footy but let's not get carried away. he kicked 15 goals in 2022 and was dropped based on poor performance when we had few other fwd options in form. hardly a star in 2022. His marking and general mobility was also below his best.
