Totally agree Plus the forward line is the one area we need as much experience as we can get!

Great point. Our supporters look at our scoreline and bemoan the fact we scored the majority of goals in 1 quarter but ignore the fact that this is fairly common with most teams in tight, contested games.

I’d be very surprised if the Eagles don’t come to the party, given Darling is almost done

I'm not so much concerned about this specific issue, but I think it just goes back to the flimsy way the AFL run their competition. They flip flop constantly and are swayed by the media & large clubs on certain decisions, when they need to work out what is the best way to grow the game and work on a system that does this.

The stupid thing is, the AFL can give them this but if they suddenly become a strong club again they will receive complaints and then will no doubt reverse it. The AFL have to be the most knee-jerk sporting competition in the world, and by a fair margin. How about they work out a system you think is fair and promotes growth in the overall country and then commit to that for 20 years before reviewing again.

I check the Oakleigh teams and haven't seen him named at all? Is this because he is playing a different competition?

I think 5-7 spots will be fairly easy. Brayshaw, J Smith, Tomlinson, Ben Brown, Schache & Hunter. That is 6 spots and I didn't even have to look at the rest of the list...

Wow that's impressive. Is it school holidays?

Won’t know for sure until we give him a crack. I just don’t want JVR rucking anymore so hope they find an alternative.

You’re all wrong…. I see Jarrad Waite

Where is Murphy Reid expected to go? Having a pretty impressive champs it seems

Demonland logic- said player is injury prone and we should trade them. But I expect a top 10 pick for them because no doubt other teams are stupid

Has been injury prone since then, but there are many instances where players are injury prone for many years and then get their bodies right. Think Shaun Burgoyne, everyone thought he was cooked and then he ended up playing 400 games 🤯. Definitely not saying Salem will play 400, but I think we have to continue working with him to get his body cherry ripe. Important player when up and going.

100% agree. If one of Turner or Petty can’t ruck then one should come out for Fullarton. JVR is a generational full forward for god’s sake.

Why are the commentators trying to have a crack at a Melbourne player for ‘staging’ again? Kolt got bumped late by Zorko and how are they to know how hard he felt the hit? These commentators are a disgrace (hodge in particular) and I wish the club would call them out on their carp

Adam’s was the one being held there and they somehow give a free the other way? Weird!

I’m an optimist like you Binman, but I can’t see us playing finals this year and that’s ok. I was really impressed with how our young side took it up to the Lions, with some good games from our senior players. I was expecting a 4-5 goal loss, and after getting over the close loss I was proud of the effort. I’d be interested to know the age differences between the two sides.

haha I can't believe they haven't moved the microphone!

Reciprocal doesn’t mean you can just play there as much as you want. You have the option to play there on certain days, but you have to pay to play.

He’s an underage key tall playing a year above. Wouldn’t be worried about him making it until he plays the U18 carnival next year in his own age group.

Not sure what the point of dropping Brown was, unless they’ve told him and Woey they plan to rotate them as subs so they can continue getting some full games at Casey. Surely if Fritsch has another stinker his spot has to come into question though.

It's not really stealth, we all know about it!

The only way we can win this game is to turn it into an absolute slog. If it is a shootout the Lions will easily outscore us. We need to be at our defensive best to have a chance. Not confident, but sometimes it's nice just watching the footy with no expectations!

Just out of contract. Former pick 28, so doubt they will get much more than a 3rd rounder if he wants to leave.

Would definitely give him another 12 months if he wanted to go on. We will have a decent amount of turnover this year anyway with likely/confirmed departures of: Brayshaw, Smith, Schache, Tomlinson, Brown & Hunter. That would be 6 players we have to replace and we usually take 2-3 players at the draft.
