In Harmes Way

Held Sydney to 56 points and 2 pts in the last quarter. Seriously impressive. #contest_and_defence

I reckon this sums it up perfectly

Gees I was worried when Fritta was off with his foot, Milkshake with his knee, and Bowey with his shoulder - I thought our resurgent forward line was looking a bit shaky and the last thing we needed was an injury. Fingers, legs, arms crossed for Melksham. I loved the look of our forward line with JVR, Smith, Melksham, Fritta supported by Chandler and Kossie and cameos from Trac and the poor kicking for goal backline (Rivo and Maysie, you know who I'm referring to). What a game from Fritta first game back. Nice to see Gawny, Trac, Clarry and Fritta on the bench in the last. Not so nice for Salo who copped one and was looking to come off. Great win, I didn't think we'd do anywhere near that well. Bring on the pies.

I’m liking the forward line setup. Not so much Rivo and Maysie taking shots for goal! Does anyone else reckon Rivo looks like Adam Ant with his sunscreen?

Sounds like an alternative death ride

And a very nasty rash

I remember the good old days fondly when H&A rounds ended and this was my favourite thread

You’d be happy then Goffy?

But somehow do this without losing. Will a draw do?

Pies have lost 3 and won 2 in the last 5. The 2 wins were Port by 2 and a pretty [censored] Geelong by 8. They’re not in a form line where you’d drop a game to get Port instead of the dees. That would be the first act of a straight sets exit

Great news. Delighted for goody and all of us. No surprise this was announced after a win locking in top 4 on the cusp of finals as opposed to after the GWS game in Alice after we kicked 5.15 from 75 i50 entries (worst conversion since stats ever) and lost by 2 points.😁

Did Ben Brown play in Alice Springs?

That’s just [censored]

I reckon Blakey on Jake would be a match up worth seeing Binny Jnr.

He’s got a rich pup?

You’re not on your Pat Malone there

It’s the vibe of the thing Takes me back to the Dave Misson days

They’re giant d1kheads Jaded, that’s not quite the same thing

But do we want to? I’d suggest we get 9 goals in front early in the 3rd and then put 15 on the bench. Have a ruck (spargs), one forward (Chandler) and one back (Disco Turner)

I’m happy if she keeps yelling that out now 😁

It guarantees you a second chance if you stuff up in week 1

I’d like to see this Adam, but not sure the SCG is big enough for multiple points of entry into F50 to warrant three marking options (I think we need to go 2 with 4 crumbers). I’m not even sure it’s a good dress rehearsal, because of the size of the ground. Good opponent though.

I’m struggling with Gil throwing the goal umpire under the bus for a mistake rather than reviewing how the AFL can fix a potential future recurrence by amending the review system (procedures for initiating a review, quality of the review footage) to look after both the teams, the umpires and the paying members/supporters. It’s just lazy management, asleep at the wheel.

It’s my hope/belief daz that Goody is trying to keep a few aces up his sleeve for finals and we’ll see a bit more of him in the guts when it matters. That said, he threw Petty forward against Brisbane in the finals last year when it was already too late, so what would I know.
