My bad. Whenever i see the word 'current' i always associate it with current best 22. Fair enough to put it in his hands then. I would probably go Tmac ahead of him.

Silly Carlton, should've done what we did and traded it for two Liam Stockers ?♂️ And then used one of those Liam Stockers to trade for a ruckman that never gets a game.

NT is South Australia backyard
Does anyone know how many Crow fans travel up there? When i saw a shot of the main stadium on the wing, the entire crowd jumped up to their feet in celebration, it was either after either a goal or the siren i can't recall. Made me bloody angry. Aside from our cheer squad and a small pocket of indigenous girls on the half forward flank cheering when Gawn took a mark, i didn't see much support for us.

He should've said: “Neither side showed anything today to suggest that they’re going be any threat come the end of the year – both sides have some work to do,”

With all due respect my friend, i think you're stuck in 2018. There are no lower teams or soft games plural left to play. There is only Carlton.

Were you replying to other people suggesting Petty or Keilty should've played down back? I don't think they'd make any difference. But in hindsight, it looks as though we're no longer robbing peter to pay paul by putting Tmac down back as he has no forward influence, so i think he is the only player that changes the result by locking down Jenkins or Walkers influence. If May or Lever don't come back, then Tmac should be down back and we drop Omac because once again we're on the national stage and need to not look like fools. I think a combination of Smith, Weid & Preuss/Keilty should be tried. Experiment.

Aside from a few weeks of ok form, we're still the same shambolic defence that needed TMAC to go down back to mitigate our awfulness for prime time anzac eve viewing. So that's your answer there.

Sounds like my parents. My dad gets too heated watching it on tv, but somehow nonchalantly can go to his bed at half time and just pop the radio on or turn it off and go to sleep and wake up for the result. And my mum hides in the bathroom or bedroom when a result is even remotely close. Kind of defeats the purpose of following/enjoying watching a sport, but i can think i empathize as i get older and realise it's not good for the heart. It's a very uncomfortable feeling they'd rather avoid. Unless its an important final anyway. I live overseas now, but i find that watching it on delay is the best way for me to take an amount of stress away. i can pause it in and take a break in between goals or even forward thrusts, fast forward through the opponents attack and see if a goal was kicked or if they were repelled. For eg I paused it when Weid marked it and took a 2 minute break to come back to the shot. Makes life easier.

He was slim and athletic instead of solid tonight! Which was good to see. I don't think any team needs a chunky little nugget at half forward that has no strings to his bow. So having a very fit base and slimming down is a good step in the right direction if he wants to prove his worth in the next 13 weeks.

Do i win a spud for predicting that Jenkins would get a hold of Omac? Would've much prefered having Jenkins in our forward line instead of TMac or Smith today.

40 goals for the past 5 seasons before this year, and all people can say about him his 'he only gets joe the goose goals". One of the top 5 most under-rated AFL players.

The ins are ominous. I predict Walker to get off the chain at hf with his running patterns on omac, set up quite a few goals. We move Frost onto him 1/2. Scores reasonably close and Jenkins bobs up for 4 goals in the 2nd half and seal a runaway win. 5 months later Jenkins nominates the Dees for a trade after a coffee date with Goodwin.

PREGAME: Rd 11 vs Adelaide
I think he's in our best 22 and great when firing, but he isn't a consistent performer yet and i recall him being dropped at least two times last year. The oft remarked piece of cliche/wisdom is a players stocks grow more rapidly when they're out injured.
