If BBB can remain fit over the season and show what he shown the first few weeks- he is a huge asset to our flag push. Gives us great flexibility and frees up Petty to play either forward or back

Watson and Ginnivan, the new poster boys for sooking, ducking and diving

He is a muggle

One thing we do.. is have a crack

Hate Hawthorn.. met Sam Mitchell a few times, he is an arrogant [censored]. Enjoy getting smacked! Ps. Also hate Geelong!!

With a short break, I’d consider giving him a week off and prepare him for Brisbane. We have good depth, Sparrow and Salem could cover his midfield time. Kossie also an option with AMW to come in for his debut.

Was down with Covid last night and asleep at 8, so just finished the replay. A couple of things I noticed… Oliver is back.. was finding his feet the first few rounds, but last night he got stronger as the game went on. Was swooping on loose balls and moving through traffic like AA Clayton. Howes is a very good footballer. Class and poise, rarely beaten. Juddy is under the radar.. just does everything well The Team look connected… tapping to advantage, blocking, selfless running. We had it in 2021, first time I’ve seen it since, and I’ve seen it 3 times already this year.

All Australia lock at this early stage. Hopefully he continues his form, would love to see him recognised outside of the 4 walls of the club

Gee Petty loves to be a pest. Would be annoying to play on. Was at Alir all night.

Alarm bells

Love the line. Every year my interest in footy drifts, poor administration and commentary make it a much poorer content

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

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.

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!!

Agree, had ACL tendencies

Sam Mitchell’s gameplan is play ugly, play dirty

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.

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.

Given the travel and short break, might need a squad mentality for Adelaide. Rest one or two and rotate. Perfect for Petty.

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.

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.

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..

Wasn’t much in it. I would ban McGrath for being a [censored]. Those who initiate need to be accountable.

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.
