Looking likely To move the game but nothing official yet.

Perfect chance to bring BB in to see how he can fit in with Plugger Mac and LJ

Not saying they play well in the dry, I just reckon their game plan is more suited to the wet than ours

Can’t help but think the rain plays into the Tigers rolling maul/chaos game

Tigers are a massive step up from the previous 5 games. I reckon we’ll go alright but we might be taught a lesson

I reckon the pies made a bad call kicking Treloar out of his 5 year deal. big call I know

Bizarre tactics from Leon. You can’t just defend. They had them in the 3rd Q, they needed To go

Toby Greene is one of the best players in the league

I hear ya LITB and I agree to some extent. But Melk isnt keeping Brown/Weed out. LJ and T Mac are and they are performing very well. If we go LJ, T Mac plus another tall, I reckon we think the tiges will run us off our feet

This is a brave call from Goody. I reckon the easy option is to bring in Brown or Weed, but do you sacrifice you fwd pressure? this seems like a very measured selection. Respectful to those who have got the job done and keeping the system stable Fristch and May are Massive in. I am proud of T Mac to give the selectors no option but to keep him at CHF.

Anyone tempted by $13 for north to win next week in Tassie??

Why do people still rate the Cats? Struggled at home against north! WC choked against the Saints but it won’t happen again. Can’t believe Cats are clear favs. I’ll be loading up on the weagles

Give it time ?

The next 5 years should be something. Trac/Viney/Oliver/Salem/Langdon/Lever all in their prime. It's our best chance to win a flag in a looooooong time

Great news! a key pillar in our Premiership attack. These long term deals for our guns should set us up nicely to be able to manage our cap. Assuming he is only on good money (not crazy money), we should know exactly what money we have to offer Trac. 5 year deals only screw your cap when the money is massive. having stability and showing faith and loyality back to our players is a great show of faith and should come back to reward us

Round 11 would have to be our Friday night game. Us and the Dogs both play Saturday in round 10 so no 5 day breaks. All but certain

it is fun messing with the pedants and the posters with ODC. just can't a letter out of palce

This is THE ANZAC game this weekend. what a great job the club did securing this game. Saturday night will be a test of our maturity. Those who asked what happened in Perth in the Prelim. I'll tell ya: Trac, Gawn, Viney, Oliver etc were 3 years younger and immature imo. have we grown up? I reckon we have. May and Lever is the best defensive combination in the league. Not sure we will win, but we will give it a red hot shake.

Where are the 19 out of 20 experts that said we would not make finals? now this [censored] comes out? [censored] off

Can you believe Geelong put Danger back on the field?? Who knows if this would have impacted his ankle further Danger 32 at the start if next season.

I reckon we need to look at more mids in the draft. Outside mids firstly, then wingers and balanced mids. If we have 3-4 injuries to our midfield, who from casey on the weekend comes in? I personally don't see Bowey or Laurie ending up in the midfield but I could be wrong. I'd expect Bowey HB and Laurie fwd. Sparrow and Jordon are good depth for inside mid Also, unless we want Jackson playing 1st ruck if Gawn goes down, I reckon we draft a developing 1st ruck to learn the ropes from Gawny. you usually need to go through a couple of these guys to be successful

I know this used to be the case but in the past 5 years at least we have been strong and held our ground on decisions imo. have you examples recently where we haven't stood up for ourselves?

May and Weed in for Brown and Petty makes us such a better team!

Oh my god. 21,000 would be sooo embarrassing

6072 - Days since Essendon last won a final Not relevant to this thread but it just makes me happy
