No video of the chickens?

Just an unusual aside: As I mentioned earlier, I’ll be in Bali until the morning AFTER our first final🙄. and I was relieved that the ABC has a coverage here on the hotel room tv ,however I was amazed to discover the Storm game televised live last night without ANY commentary.. the only audible sounds were from the referees and a few errant swear words from players. I’m not sure whether this would be preferable to hearing BT’s ramblings and histrionics… oh wait.

A few years ago when he was still an active Dees’ supporter , Neil Mitchell pushed the idea of a new anthem written by prolific and historically successful tunesmith Mike Brady ( I think ) He played it relentlessly on his program for a week with little audience impact. I suspect tradition will always overcome new innovations

I have a purpose in life now

Obviously the selectors got orgasmic after the vision appeared of Hawkins running downfield to admonish the poor ball movement of his team’s defenders. True captain’s worth🙄

I’ll be in Bali and will miss the game live ( by a day) and yes, thank goodness for the ABC coverage

Gawn - surprisingly didn’t dominate Petty - kept on giving Lever - impassable all game Rivers - back to best May - dominated his opponent Hibberd - absolutely owned Cameron Melksham - disciplined team game Oliver - possibly sealed Brownlow Langdon - excellent first half Sparrow - strong tackling game Brown - finally finding form Fritsch - a wonderful finisher Neal-Bullen - a few cameos Jackson - found some form Pickett - exciting first half Viney - take first options Petracca - dominated when required Harmes - an important return Spargo - was quiet again Brayshaw - classy all game Hunt - held opponent comfortably Bowey - solid all game

I’m off to Bali in the morning.. hopefully with joy in my heart.

His foot skills stood out like a beacon on the weekend

Gawn - willed to win Viney - great first half Salem - almost a liability Rivers - not always reliable Lever - held his opponent Petty - outstanding most game Sparrow - was not sighted May - strength and application Jordon - not moving freely Oliver - class and input Langdon - limited since injury Brayshaw - prolific and courageous Fritsch - career worst game Neal-Bullen - was rarely sighted Spargo- another uninvolved performance Brown - saved by goal Pickett - hero but limited Petracca - not as dynamic Jackson - just a game Hibberd - loose but important Melksham - only winning forward Hunt - great last quarter

Second only to arrogant Carlton supporters who generally are the scum of the earth

Basically if he can hold more than one mark a game in the forward line then he’d be a significant upgrade on Dogga

Just as long as they’re talking about me👍

Was Toby Green suspended for his karate kick/ mark a few years back?

Gawn - couldn’t influence centre Viney - disappeared after half Petracca - few clean disposals Hunt - kept opponent quiet May - not his fault Salem -still seemed lacking Petty - season worst game Lever - dominated his opponent Brown - provided a target Jackson - needed more involvement Sparrow - was rarely noticed Hibberd - looked slow tonight Pickett - poor under pressure Jordan - couldn’t handle pressure Langdon - some poor disposal Neal-Bullen - was rarely sighted Fritsch - had little involvement Spargo - unsighted after half Brayshaw - great first half Oliver - disposals were amateurish Rivers - little to commend Melksham - five minute performance

And what if the Crows won the game, would other clubs have embraced the stance?

Gawn - great first half Viney - continued amazing form Petracca - classy all game Brayshaw- made a statement Oliver - beaten but valuable Pickett - lively and dangerous Langdon - reliable and consistent Fritsch - selfless and important Sparrow - enjoyed the conditions Jordon - produced as required Spargo - was always dangerous Melksham - experience proved valuable Lever - outstanding despite injury May - an impenetrable force Rivers - run was valuable Jackson - another average game Hibberd - fountain of youth Salem - beginning to shine Hunt - rarely instilled confidence Petty - continues to excel Neal - Bullen - little to impress Weideman - wasted plane ticket

Gary Lyon mooted this idea on SEN this morning too

For the record I swapped Lever’s name for May’s

BUMP

Yes you’re right… I should have complimented them for throwing away the game and probably the season

Gawn - age is wearying Oliver - played without confidence Brayshaw - prolific without effectiveness Salem - intensity was lacking May - one costly blunder Sparrow - no X factor Hibberd - loose and lacking Viney - great first half Pickett - had limited involvement Petracca - season worst performance Fritsch - disappeared after half Jordon - little to enthuse Tomlinson - little to commend Weideman - disappointed yet again Neil-Bullen - was rarely sighted Melksham - irrelevant second half Jackson - overrated and underperforming Petty - yin and Yang Spargo - was rarely sighted Harmes - season worst game Langdon - season worst game Rivers - seemingly without confidence

Stupid comment. A - Goodwin has won a premiership and is currently coaching the equal top team. B - How do you know Yze has got what it takes to coach a senior team ? Have you actually seen examples of his coaching capabilities?

Gawn - imposed when necessary Pickett - highlight reel performance Viney - consistent 4 quarters Petracca - class showed out Langdon - vital outside running Sparrow - just a game Jordon - a constant contributor Fritsch - important but wasteful Brown - importantly more involved Jackson - seemingly treading water Hibberd - our best defender Harmes - hit or miss May - was generally effective Brayshaw - reliable and consistent Spargo - some better connections Melksham - important in last Neal-Bullen - some vital touches Tomlinson - justified his selection Salem - going through motions Rivers - seemingly without confidence Lever - was rarely sighted Bedford - another nothing performance

The alternative go to strategy of kicking it short to Salem in a pocket is also so predictable and easy to defend because he has seemingly misplaced his precise kicking and just lobs it slowly to nobody in particular At least Hibberd ,Hunt ( when he’s playing) and even Rivers ,take on their opponents. Though not always successful they DO attempt to break the lines
