Any chance NSW can go into lockdown so we can avoid the season being completely derailed? ~350 cases per day and climbing, despite Gladys stating as fact (incorrectly) that NSW has the toughest covid restrictions of anywhere in Australia. cases still in Vic and QLD and they will continue until NSW do the right thing

Certainly the ‘Goodwin lost this at selection’ crowd from the last 3 years have gone quiet turns out ANB and Spargo etc can play!

This thread stopped being helpful or interesting pages ago. A Pity

The best thing is none of our good players are being linked to other clubs. What a change from 8 years ago when most free agents would leave Love to Roosy and PJ

Yeah true but I reckon the dodgy half is on very little coin. Not great for team unity when imports are on massive money and aren’t delivering while ‘home grown’ talent have to take the hit. Williams especially was a terrible decision.

He should only play if he has earnt it of course. I have him higher in the pecking order than Vanders, so I reckon he will earn at least one game over the next 6 weeks.

it helps when half of the team is rubbish

Poor Kozzi. I’m glad Goody and the club are standing up against this BS every racist post on social media needs to flagged and investigated bloody cowards

Why do people want to bring Smith in at this late stage? imo we should only bring someone in who is a real chance to play finals. Bowey is playing HB so he is cover for Hunt. We have Rivers and Salem also. Bring in Hibberd if needed, who was very good earlier in the season and should be fresh after a rest. Smith has never proven himself to be a consistent performer and it would be crazy to try it again at this stage. Not saying he can't make it ever just not now.

Good to see Pert is sticking up for us and wanting games being played at the MCG. Having finals interstate with some crowd could mean us playing Port in Adelaide, Lions in QLD or WC in Perth or god forbid, Geelong in mordor. We have earned the right (so far at least) to play at home and I would not want to lose this advantage. If the stadium is neutral and the MFC agree to it being interstate then I would be fine with playing Port in Perth for example and it would be good for our interstate fans. But we need to give ourselves the best chance of winning. Not just worrying about the AFL getting money.

McQueen’s Demon Quarantine, I like it! 15,000 slabs should do the job to celebrate or commiserate once you can guarantee an en suite and fresh linen I’ll be there

Dean (White) Margotts

Unlucky for Hunt but I still am not sure how he would go under under finals pressure. Would prefer players that are more reliable than those that might get caught HTB on a long run. Harsh I know, he had been good this year. But we can cover him with Bowey and Hibbo

Cats have 8 players listed as tests! Tuoey out is big. Not great prep for them

21 touches and 3 contested marks In windy wet conditions 19yo and 200cms. As athletic as Adam Goodes. Could be anything. What a gun!

Well it was meant to be a joke. Was just missing that small ingredient of it being funny! but to try to answer your question if we get out of lockdown next week for example, we would still not be able to have crowds you’d imagine. But we could be able to travel interstate

With the likelihood of finals not being in Melbourne increasing, we need to ensure enough support at finals interstate. so I’m proposing all members fly interstate once this lockdown finishes. 15K to WA, 15K to QLD, 15K to SA and maybe 5K to Geelong just in case (sorry) Im happy to coordinate, PM me with your state of choice. thanks

Crowds in Geelong was a media beat up all the way through. It would be absolutely ridiculous to have thousands at the footy in Victoria whole cases are in the community. Why take the risk? Saints a decent chance with finals on the line. Cats form is dipping

In fairness, his debut was horrible. Never seen a worse one. Even in the Neeld days.

Wow. Top of the table and then this. We are in real good shape. Massive congratulations to the Goodwin and the list managers and the club in general

Stay tuned for the defamation suit from Leppa 😂

Trac clearly bog for mine. Us supporters are used to his excellence. ANB and Harmes played much better than usual but Trac was the most dominant player on the pitch. He looked angry and tackled like a mad man.

Anyone know How many 50 metre penalties did we end up with?

Negative Nelly

Several poster not having Petracca in their top 6 is staggering to me. He was immense and critical to our win. His intensity around the ball. 7 clearances, 6 tackles. Fantastic goal off one step.
