On Grand Final day. Lose the battle, win the war n all that....

Yeah. Although if the trade off was Carlton not becoming the dominant power everyone was forecasting, I'll live with that!

Or Hodgepodge

We've got so many of them now, they might need to form their own club like the Wingers. Maybe call it The Swingers Club? Oh dear

If only we had Hayden McClean instead of Max Gawn! /sarcasm

A Saturday with Collingwood, Carlton & Geelong winning. If I wasn't on a demon-only watch schedule now, I would be after that. Yuck!

There was pick trading up until and on draft night wasn't there? I remember at the time thinking the Petty trade could work if we packaged all our picks to WCE for Pick 1, otherwise we still go into the draft with a big hand. I was excited about his great form up forward too, I won't lie - but prior to that he was playing poorly in defence and I remember advocating for Tomlinson over him after 5 rounds.

According to the neutrals on afl reddit, Kozi tried to murder him and should've got 4-6 weeks. So i don't think both players can play on the same team without bloodshed /sarcasm

Understand that. Not really wanting to get in depth about dogs. The analogy is simply about Maynard being an aggressive dog, backed by a rabid trashy fanbase. I think it's apt. "Vermin" doesn't really cut it

Pit bulls aren't. Ugly inbred looking things. Trained to be aggressive by clueless owners that defend them online. Sounds familiar.

People were talking bout him being the worst rated player in the comp, and some Lions fans calling for him to be dropped. That first goal really set alarm bells off given the context. What is it about Hipwood? He just has that rare athletic ability that allows for an extra yard of speed and aerial space that can give him the opportunity to get into the game against our defenders. Not quite the Kent Kingsley, but that 4 goal final is going to haunt us until we beat them in a final, or go further.

He looks 21

The scoreboard masking/5 goal fightback is equivalent to the NBA where the both teams take their starters out and play their bench depth. And everyone watching on tv turns it off. Zero to read into it.

I think the question about whether the Lions fast spread and surgical precision by foot is our kryptonite or whether it was our fatigue, is going to be unanswered until the finals. To me though, their game last night would take a herculean effort from our team firing on all cylinders just to be competitive and take it to the death where a bit of luck and a few plays from your stars can make the difference. At least they've given us a good lesson. The good thing to come out of this for a neutral, would be that this season might genuinely have 6+ flag contenders.

it was 32-80 halfway through the last! Lions are getting ready for next weeks match at that point.

I hope Zane Dorko is ready

I don't think the fox footy podcast would get any positive reviews David Zita groaning at Max Laughton's attempts at humour 10 times a pod. They really should put on two people that don't hate each other. I'd maybe give it another go! Strange one to bring up. As for the Debrief Podcast: Go Dees! It takes all different types of podcasts for all types of fans in the demonverse and I listen to em all! BUT they are better served spending what I assume is an expensive hourly rate in their rented studio with a producer, discussing the footy rather than the footy AND reviews and guest questions like the DL Pod. Let's let them all be unique in their own ways.

Put a zero on that figure and we can have him on minimum wage

The podcast would be drastically improved if at the start of every sentence Andy said Mum, Binman said Yum and George said Rum instead of Um

Q: The SA plan was executed so perfectly you have to wonder if it wasn't 6 months in the making. October last year did we come up with this double header idea and pitch it to head of AFL fixturing, given we had Harrison Petty wanting to be closer to family with a supposed interest in a trade, before being convinced to stay. Perhaps his contract honoring came with a promise from the club to do their best to get him extra time with family in-season? As well as a team bonding exercise for all again bubble style, it's ended up a stroke of genius. Our performances the envy of the competition. Plan or happy coincidence? What do the think team? BOnus Q: In the media there was talk of a rotation of teams playing Port and Adelaide in the proceeding years, for fairness given its a tough road trip at the best of times. Would the club want a match v Port/Adel in gather round again next year if given the oppurtunity? Make it our own locked in fixture? And another back to back over there? Or an SA team then Neutral Gather round opponent? Could we be so lucky? Or would the club prefer to go back to fixturing randomness? Get out with the two wins and not push it! I can imagine other clubs wanting to play there a week earlier now. Maybe the AFL should only give clubs the week earlier match in SA IF they play Port/Adel in gather round. For fairness. - Edited more at 11pm as the fixture variations are a bit complex.

Wigg before ANB was a bald selection

And it plays this on the big screen on loop

Nah. May is strictly on a sight seeing tour of Adelaide right now. He's a real church lover is our Maysie

Source? Who says they are not offered a contract on a year by year basis?

Tell him it's March
