  1. Love the line. Every year my interest in footy drifts, poor administration and commentary make it a much poorer content
  2. With the list that Lions have, Fagan looks to only have a plan A. Not sure he will get the ultimate success. Hipwood reminds me of Schache
  3. Wouldn’t rush either of them. Probably be cautious this week, set Lever for Adelaide and May for Brisbane. We can beat Port with TMAC, Petty and Hore.
  4. I had broken ribs and a damaged vertebrae back in 2018 after a motorbike accident. Fortunately for me I had a broken collarbone and shoulder blade among others to take the focus off my ribs.. He will definitely need 6 weeks before he is confident in them being hit. I still remember my first sneeze, it still troubled me to think about it. One funny story, I went and watched the Melbourne v Hawks final and was still very much beaten up and on pain killers. I couldn’t sit in my seat I was that sore, I stood at ground level behind the goals at the punt road end. When Melksham kicked his goal, a bloke picked me up and bear hugged me. Single greatest/worst moment ever!!
  5. Sam Mitchell’s gameplan is play ugly, play dirty
  6. Essendon.. brother in law is a bombers fan.. he is the worst loser and winner. Never hear from him when we win, sends message after message if we lose. They are all like that.
  7. Hey Picket, I am 100% in agreement- Goody said he was set for the Hawks game and I’m not sure if his performance changed things. My only point is that if he is to play and not as a sub, it would be much harder to adapt to the game as a forward than a defender. The smart thing would be to give him 80% game time in the VFL and set him for one or both of the Adelaide games.
  8. Given the travel and short break, might need a squad mentality for Adelaide. Rest one or two and rotate. Perfect for Petty.
  9. I wouldn’t play Petty.. but what I am saying is that if the powers in charge want him in, he will pick up the game quicker in defence than as a forward. From all reports he looked lost at VFL, he will be a liability at AFL level and upset what structure we have. Tough gig being a forward, even tougher when still finding fitness and touch.
  10. I was thinking that if we are that keen to play Petty, I wonder if this week TMAC could go forward and Petty play back. TMAC purely to free up Fritta or JVR as Sicily will likely take the more agile Key forward.
  11. Standard media editing
  12. Police charges also have weight against instigators. I’m sick of these snipers acting tough. It could be claimed that McGrath led with his chin..
  13. Wasn’t much in it. I would ban McGrath for being a [censored]. Those who initiate need to be accountable.
  14. Thought this guy might have lacked intensity and was a bit flaky in the contest…. Boy was I wrong. I am sorry Blake! PS… can’t wait to apologise to Jeffo.
  15. He has the tank, it’s about where he is most valuable, which given our lack of forward pressure and scoring options- it’s forward. We also have a lot of mids who couldn’t replace his pressure forward of centre.
  16. Race caller, the commentator, calling our game on Foxtel. We won by 6 furlongs apparently.
  17. I’d play him everywhere
  18. I thought in parts he was okay. Certainly lost a bit of confidence. My biggest watch is our backline makeup, and maybe this is a week by week scenario, subject to opposition. But Lever and Hore play a similar role. Howes is also quite tall and Rivers can play taller. No answers from me, but curious to see how this transpires during the year.
  19. Chandler is so very lucky! Gone backwards at warp speed
  20. While Tommo is stiff, he still makes me nervous with the highball and ground ball. So does TMAC but probably a lesser extent. My thoughts on our back 6 is that we have too many interceptors and not enough defender's. Lever needs to be more like May and lock down first. Lever was so poor last week. Most backlines play taller, so maybe we bring in Hore for Tommo and Salem goes back for Bowzer. Picket to play 50/50 Mid as will Tracc and Clarry to find his touch.
  21. Just offer him the chance to not have to listen to Chris Scott ever again.. Should get it done
  22. They need access to a footy record, so they can see that there are players out there other than midfielders!
