I've got NFI who should play given i've watched zero neutral matches all year and have no idea who Brisbane's team and our matchups for them are. That being said I'm looking forward to our club taking on a team that seems to be on the rise like we were last year, so It's a symbolic match of sorts. And could be used as a way for us to put our stamp on them for future matches, given we plan to be back in the mix soon enough. Even though i'd love pick 1, to go on a run and beat up on some teams over the next 10 teams could be a great way of saying 'lookout' for next year. In: Lever, Hibberd, Dunkley Out: Wagner, Petty, Hannan

Though he picked the one time when it wasn't necessary. Viney can more than hold his own.

I'd just love to see a long chronological history of our desperate chase for outside runners in 2025 when we're folding and looking at the opportunities we should have taken but instead went for your inside sparrows ? I should probably add my take: I think we should offer Brad Hill 800K. Get it [censored] done.

Carlton had massive rivalries with all 3 clubs in 80's and 90's because their fan base were as big a pack of C**** when they were up and about.

I Raise But seriously @Matsuo Basho, maybe google old posts to add new info, so we can get a chronological history on players as trade targets? Or Mods can just merge threads?

You're correct. I did the predictor this morning and i have us finishing 8th with a final against WCE.

Chasing Darcy Parish? Sounds like a good title for the George Pell biopic

Frequently dropping it too. Has Bull ever worn a glove? Might seem like an obvious and dumb idea, but.. just maybe it could give him a little edge in "catching" them like McGovern does with his sticky hands. Borrow Jayden's, he surely doesn't need em!

A few posters on the forum have suggested we give Viney lot more minutes up forward to apply defensive pressure and crumb. Which gives more time for Brayshaw to flourish as a pure inside mid where he was dominant last year. What do you think?

Hogan to kick 6 on May and hammer the final nails to seal our 2019 season coffin. The most fitting finale of all.

Dayam, this one didn't last long!

Though this could be used to argue for OR against a trade. For being that elite level is the only value that could bring in a Whitfield type player.

I did that too! I just cant be bothered anymore. Said it a few months ago that we need to put together the value that can net us a Whitfield type player and will need to trade one of our good players. I don't care how it's done and i don't really want to debate whether it should be Brayshaw or whoever either. Footy isn't worth stressing over currently.

May v Hogan should be a ripper

OMac is going to kick 50 in the next 10 games

Out of contract at the end of the year. Brayshaw for Billings? And then a first round pick swap because the Saints won't want to lose Billings. So pick 2 or 3 for their pick 3 or 4 ?

We've been the Melbourne Even-Years for all but 1 of the years i've barracked for them.

The only misery for me is Gold Coast not giving up that bottom position. If we're going to lose the majority of our games from here on in, it would be nice to finish last on 6 or so wins. Cmon Suns/Blues, go on a big 2nd half run.

I think you're bang on Matsuo. Goodwin is definitely in the top 18 for coaching IQ's for the entire country. A good achievement. However if you're not pushing into the top 5-10 within 3 or so years you'll end up being dumped from the 18 soon enough.

I still have mental images of him in our 2018 heavy loss to them with that arrogant gloating grin saying crap to our forwards. It's just the pathetic left over dregs of that premiership era on display now. They could bully but back it up with scintillating footy, but now it's just bullying without any bite. Garbage captain.

They're embarrassing to watch repeat the same mistakes over and over. And with how transparent and one dimensional the game plan is, would be embarrassing to lose to. You get a sense now that the opposition are so ON to what we're doing that it would be considered a major coaching failure by any of the 17 other clubs if they were to lose to us.

Let's try another hail mary but this time with Oscar McDonald at full forward instead of Tom ?

Though he's not half hearted when he argues with the umpires. Looks more interested in proving to the umpire that he's correct, than getting on with it.

Hannan is a player that has always gone missing for large stretches of matches, like JKH, and has fallen into the 'better player while not playing' genre of players that some fans think we need to get into the team to turn our fortunes around. Meanwhile players who they want out, like Spargo are consistently getting to the ball and in on most of the action all day and so highly visible mistakes are bound to be made.
