Have you seen any team up by 29 points in the 4th qtr at kardinia park recently? ?

Gold Coast, Sydney and a GWS team that will be resting because they can't move from 4th. What's the big deal with finding 3 wins?

Yeah. I've done plenty of screaming and fist pumps when a non-melb team i'm rooting for scores a goal or wins a game. Dogs v Hawks in 2016 from memory also a Pavlich goal in 3rd qtr v Hawks in the GF. I don't think I've betrayed the Dees...

I know Zak Jones was quite a nuffy today, but i'd still take him for his pace and contested work - And being trade out of Sydney would be a wake up call to pull his head in. I have to wonder if he has lowered his trade value tonight and we could get in on the cheaper (than before). For eg a sydney fans over the top response: "I’m sick of this [censored]. He’s fast becoming a liability and yeah, not worth it. Would gladly give him away, [censored] a trade."

Fascinating. I wonder if it's a comparable situation to Schache for the Dogs second round pick. Or in our case as they don't need picks, for a comparable player like Tyson

Looking at the background, she may have already joined the Bombers. An experimental drug injection program would actually explain a couple of.... things.

Just keep him away from the 2020 grand final team 20 year reunion.

Did Sam Mitchell ever step foot in defence? ? Edit: Said in trade thread, but he'd be perfect midfield coach and mentor to rejuvenate Dom Tysons disposal/footy IQ

He'd be the kind of coach that you'd back to mentor Dom Tyson and turn him into an elite disposer of the ball. It's that or we just play him instead of Tyson

@Little Goffy Your brain will break further if you ponder on the fact that if we go into that game 2/4 and GWS are 4/4, then they will probably be locked in 4th and will undoubtedly rest/play bruise free footy and we'll probably finish 6th or so with a win. I kind of think that is a safer option than battling for top 4 and missing out on finals if we lose which is absurd.

The bottom line is to bring about a game that resembles AFL X but with commercials after every goal

Cheer squad could sing it, fan violence for a second week in a row would go down well

You'll deserve a rivet lager for winning that bet. I'm not in Aus so someone will have to do the honors

He'd still be pretty handy (or glovey) down back

Another alternative was bringing in Marcus Seecamp for a hit job

Surely we could put Pat McKenna and Lachi Filopivic in defence at the expense of Jetta and Jones, with Daniel Cross filling up space

https://predictor.squiggle.com.au There are some very interesting permutations going on that effect our round 23 match and it's easier to play around than explain. It could either be a game where GWS have top 4 spot sewn up and will rest getting us effectively into the finals (if we only win 1 of Syd/Adel/WCE heading into it) or it could be a top 4 match for US if we beat Adel & Syd ! and Syd beat GWS. The only way that it is a top 4 battle if GWS beat Syd, is if we also win all of our games leading into the match!

I bet he signed perfectly on his non-preferred hand too ?

After last week, i hope they bring in a starting zone for opposition kick outs, 10/6/2 perhaps?

One idea for a KPD is a cheap stop-gap recruitment for the next 1 or 2 years like Lynden Dunn was. I'm thinking a player like Heath Grundy or even Harry Taylor who have found themselves on the outer in the past two weeks. If Vince retires, Lewis is more injury prone and Lever the re-injury risk im sorry to say will be for a year or two, another senior player could be useful. Though age is your obvious barrier. I'm just not sure there are any experienced 26+ year old defenders out there who are a temporary upgrade on Frost/Omac if we can't afford Steven May.

Which KPD's do you have in mind and what kind of trade/price range are you thinking? Steven May is obviously ideal but could be out of our league and unavailable anyway.

Re Skills, so an improvement on everyone except Oliver, Salem & Fritsch?

Anything can happen if you win 15 games (16 if you count tanking in r23 v Freo) in the regular season. Though with the Doggy analogy, realistically I think sneaking in will hold us in good stead for the following year like it may have done for them.

The age of premiership consent is 16
