GCDee

Petty for mine. I think he takes and flogs naughton, allowing may and Lever to intercept everything keeping the dogs to under 60 points.

What's the use of naming emergencies if they can be replaced less than 24 hours after being named?

Don't care about the cats to know if they were doing this more last week than ever before. But they were playing against one or the most inexperienced forward lines probably ever exposed to a semi final. This week they are against the best f50 pressure team in the comp. They do too much of that thus week expect lots of repeat entries from our boys and shots at goal from HTB decisions.

Their 2-9 record in preliminary finals is atrocious in the last 18 years. Like good on them for putting them self in the position to make a grand final every year but [censored] they clearly have mental demons taking that leap to make it through. Demons by 47 tonight, cats completely cooked by half time for mine.

I feel so ill....it makes it so much worse that we are the favourites. My missus has invited a heap of people over tomorrow night too so I need to behave... *within covid guidelines of course*

Smith strained his hammy reported by Tom Morris. Hibberd set to return.

You're kidding right?

19 for weid is a fantastic deal. I really would be stressed about our lack of back up key forwards however.

Not sure how much more they will get, he is 29 and been on the decline this year. If it means they can clear his salary, pick up a first and two seconds and take Parker with the cap space I feel they pull the trigger. As long as we make 2 selections in a 4 year period we are good. We made 2 last year and 2 in 2019.

Here's a trade hypothetical for those who think we dont have currency. Trade 1: Melb give p42 and p52 (p30 in points) to Coll for p34. Win/win coll need points. 3 way trade with Freo and Brisbane: Melb Give: p33 & p34 (p16 in points), 2022 first round. Melb receive: Cerra & 47 (brisbane) Brisbane give: neale & 47 Brisbane recieve: p33 (melb), p27 (freo) & melb 22 first. Which values neale around pick 3 Freo give: cerra & 27 Freo recieve: Neale & 34 (melb) Which values cerra at 5.

Haha embrace it!! Although I was so much less on edge in September when we were [censored] and wondering what big fish we were going to land with our yearly top 5 pick.

Dammit beat me too it haha

Exciting that we are in the hunt for Cerra, absolute class. We need to get industrial with our trading to get up the draft order, think how many times over the years the hawks, tigers and cats have got overs for their surplus role players purely because that player was in the squad of a team at the top of the ladder. Our players are worth more than in previous years, of course you don't want to unsettle the team balance but if given the opportunity to bring in Cerra sacrifices mutual sacrifices will need to be made. GC will be crying out for semi established midfielders to build around Rowell and Anderson. We have some amazing SA born young talent on the list would the crows want to bring some boys home in attempt to fast track their rebuild. Essendon and the saints need help on the inside. The blues could literally throw 700k at anyone, why not Bradke? ****I joke!!**** I have full faith in the club and the decision makers that the right calls will be made, we have untouchable players like all clubs.

Wow Zac Bailey is a star

Did the umps just get the dogs into the prelim?

Not in trouble. It was 50 nothing more.

Cmon giants!!!

Is it too much to ask for hard, jarring and bruising game which goes into triple OT resulting in multiple suspensions.

Sure at the start of the year if I was told we would be in another preliminary final I would have taken that. But the way this year has played out, we absolutely deserve to be there grand final day.

We will play the cats because the giants are a absolutely cooked and losing both Greene's will hurt. Want to play the cats even though they are a tougher opponent beating them in a preliminary final will be more satisfying. If we are lucky enough to win and make it through to the big dance I also think I a tougher hit out in the preliminary final will be important especially with the pre granny bye.

Gleeson is [censored]. I reckon this will be 4 weeks.

Maybe Toby is just a grade A [censored] when we were staying in Melbourne I jumped into a cab with my family and Toby walked down the middle of the hotel driveway directly towards our cab. He could see we were trying to drive but he just walked straight towards the car and maybe our poor cabby wait a good 5 seconds for him to do his little man strut down the drive way.

Can't believe he has pleaded not guilty, this will be minimum of 4 now. I reckon he could have got away with 2-3 with an early plea.

Did hawkins cop a 1 weeker for putting his arm up and touching an umpire in a semi aggressive manner? Toby walked straight at the umpire and purposely made contact with the shoulder. There has to be a week at a minimum for the incident but to me Toby seems to be a bit worse.

[censored] yes!!!! Let's go boys!!!
