Surely 4+ clubs is a mega deal But anyhoo, Dylan Stephens from Sydney is looking to come to Victoria, perhaps he would be in the deal?

Andy Maher barracktating is enough footy for me today 🤮

I know it's tedious to talk about, but my only fear going into the finals is not any particular club, or venue, but poor umpiring in key momentum shifting moments.

Getting Carlton into the 8 was more important than creating a handful of dead rubbers

Bunch of masochists in here

I think the gist of it is that Hoyne wants Rivers to be kicking and hitting targets inside 50. Not sure how feasible it is to get him that high up the ground on the regular, when no one else is running it out of defence like he is currently after winning it back off the opposition. Hibberd might be a key in the next month, to unleash Rivers a little more forward of centre. Though as Binman suggested on the pod, the addition of Spargo should improve our efficiency entering the 50 if he can up his disposals to 15-20 and be our Gryan Miers type of player. Although now that I think about it, wasn't it a preseason game where Rivers attended 10+ or so centre bounces? Maybe it's something up Goody's sleeve.

My red n blue goggle suspicions are not only are they doing it for self preservation, but they're tanking to get the Lions 2nd, or tanking two games to get the Lions up to 1st and giving themselves a home 2v3 QF v Port. Either way they're going to make it much harder for us. Hope it backfires considerably.

Said Rivers was 11th ranked played on their 100X scale of players playing above expectation. And he's interested to see what we do with the "Rivers magnet" in the next two weeks and finals "No better kick in the competition in the last 6 weeks" "Kicking 20% above expectation" "We need to see if Melbourne can inject him into the game even more so, as he's having such an a significant impact. When he wins it, and when he wins it back, he's top 10 for impact" "Healy: Move him into the middle?" "Hoyne: No, but Id move him higher up the ground, get him involved a little bit more, that would be interesting." But he's also cautious about making a change late in the season

OK, but where's the rumour?

Silver lining for a Freo win next week v Port, will be us back in the top 2. If the Pies also get it done. Edit: I mean this slightly sarcastically. Massive silver lining lol

I wonder how many games LJ played as the 2nd tall? I recall it happening pre-Ben Brown, and he did not make any impact at all. So it's no wonder Grundy would be having the same sort of impact, if you ask him to play that role. Comparing 2021, JVR=TMAC, BB=Petty/____, LJ=Grundy, Fritsch=Melk I think id like us to go with a Fritsch & Melksham as mid-sized talls running around next to JVR, when Fritsch is ready. I know its late in the season to be experimenting but Fritsch comes straight back in anyway.

How many effective tall forwards do the Pies have? Plenty of ways to skin a cat. Get on board ffs. Its not our year... until we win the QF and suddenly it might just be again?

Because he stabs at it and always finds the loose man, always has. Lovely kick of the ball, just don't ask him to kick a long high 50 metre drop punt. Anyway, you win some, you lose some.

I said that at half time in the Geel v Port MCG semi final, with Port 5 goals in front... in 2013

Sounds amazing tbh. But might struggle to make it beyond a year when the viewership is so low and niche I know it was lacking in statistical analysis and clips, but the Thursday 1hr show 'League Teams' was a pretty decent discussion of each match pre round. No fluff. Back in the Paul Roos Gerard Healy days. You just had to put up with Brereton or Brad Johnson, but at least they all gave each match the time and dedicated discussion it deserved.

Speaking of hand and foot injuries, and a resurrection for the finals The 2nd coming of Clarry at FF BANG. BANG BANG BANG

Stop scaring everybody!

Equate it with the hatred for Boomer, the Kangas and their win streak over us and how it's transitioned to "Oh you still exist?"

Who even has the time anymore to think about such an irrelevant club, let alone want them to lose, draw or win? They're just a speck of dust on our shoes nowadays. A team whose weekly fixture and glanced at result at the end of the round gets the mildest 'who cares' non-reaction if there ever was one. A club that deserves only 2-4 hours of my viewing time per year, depending on how the afl fixtures us. 🍷
