Just come to the Dees Brayden.. 😉

Yeah that's soft. He'll get off.

If he does then we've gone backwards as a team. Simple as that.

They trained fully on Wednesday and had a captains run today. Honestly, I have no issues with our preparation this week. We learnt a great deal last year and handled it fine.

This is why a part of me doesn't mind the pre finals bye. Give that extra bit of time to assess where numbers are at and hopefully allows us to attend finals in Melbourne.

After seeing covid numbers in Vic today you can just about kiss finals at the MCG goodbye.

Wut

I really thought Weideman would have come in. Guess not. Think that's lights out for Weideman unfortunately.

Catching up to Jake Spencer.

Give us something @Chook in Perth

Hopper is a beauty. I'd 100% go after him.

Well according to Jason Taylor he could be a Sam Mitchell type midfielder.

Just watched his segment on Gus and Gawny. Certainly the bloke you'd love to have a beer and a cone with at 5am on a Sunday morning.

Said it before, but hasn't he timed his good form well. Good is about to hit cloud 9 playing in finals for a top 4 Melbourne club. Doesn't get much better then that.

His last VFL against Werribee he was at times playing on Whyley Buzza who is a 198cm key forward.

He wasn't named emergency on the weekend?

I have not once seen Smith show remotely any of this speed and run and carry. It doesn't exactly have to be like for like in terms of pace, but on the naked eye Hibberd has the pace over Smith. Jayden Hunts last game against Gold Coast he had 379m gained. Joel Smith's last 4 games at AFL level last year his metres gain were 69m v Essendon, 59m v GWS, 45m v Freo and 61m against the Swans. Joel Smith adds absolutely minimal to our team should only be considered if Petty goes down.

Bringing in Joel Smith at this time of the year would would just be plain silly. Hibberd is obviously the right replacement as it's a like for like. Hibberd is able to provide run and carry whereas Smith plays as that 3rd tall defender. Bringing in Smith for Hunt takes our one less run and carry.

A picture can always tell a thousand words. It's easy to make assumptions from a single click of a picture I'd rather see video evidence in full motion before casting a judgement.

I found the Gary Pert comment of him not worried if we played a grand final with or without crowd in in Melbourne extremely disappointing. He cannot be serious? Playing in a grand final at the MCG with no crowd would be the biggest kick in the guts to all long time suffering supporters who have sat through the darkest of days seeing us getting pumped by 60 points most weeks. The one year we actually look like genuine premiership favourites it simply cannot be played in an empty stadium in Melbourne. Even Simon Goodwin on Triple M today stated he would rather finals with crowds etc. If Melbourne doesn't work then Perth simply has to become a genuine option.

Now confirmed on mfc website. Expected 4 weeks in the sideline. Good Intel btw

Looking at this Clio you would think he's a 100 game veteran. Ridiculously clean and his awareness is quite impressive as well.

Vanders was horrible. Game has passed him.
