In Harmes Way

Maybe our boys come out galvanised and focussed in enemy territory and play closer to a 4 quarter game, whereas at the G on a cold day with a small crowd our boys don’t get the same level of motivation. I think the Optus vs MCG comparison shows a difference in performance is not related to the size of the ground.

Hopefully the banner acknowledges Neale and his achievements - both MFC and MND. It’s starting to look concerning as to whether he’ll be here next year IMHO (I sincerely hope I’m wrong).

They’d have to get past me first. How many forwards in our history have kicked 6 in a grannie? Not many…..

I bet Glen Bartlett dobbed him in.

And I loved them both, exactly why the number should stay in circulation.

The foundation of our system is defence. I can’t see Goody putting that at risk to finds a couple of extra goals a game.

We just need more people to go along and cheer. We're not going to be this good forever. Enjoy it while you can.

And prior to Meg O'Neill being promoted to CEO of Woodside, she was Vice President of Development for Woodside. Hardly a screaming endorsement for going to a recruitment organisation "looking for an external appointment"

He agrees with you D56

I hope Lever gives him a public serve and tells the [censored] he's taking money over success.

LoL. I was into my 70's (Grand final views) before Xmas last year.

Thanks for calling it out WCW. Milkshake always has a place in my heart for the sealer he kicked in the 2018 semi final v Hawthorn when I was just starting to get nervous. Sure he might not be best 22 for many of the reasons highlighted, but when he gets an opportunity and plays he invariably pops up and does something really good. I hope he plays, has a ripper 200th and is rightly celebrated for the body of his overall work.

Winners are grinners

This post is eerily similar to a poster last year that had us dropping well out of the top 4 (from first) with 4-5 rounds to go, predicting we'd lose to nearly everybody. "The form that we're in" has us with the stingiest defence in the league (assuming Freo concede 9 goals today), and the best percentage. We well may not win every game this year, but we're a better team than last year (objectively, not subjectively) and we didn't lose 7-8 games last year.

I’ve got the bananarama song “nah nah nah nah hey hey goodbye” song in my head, but replace the “nah’s” with “Narrms”. Maybe a bit long, and far too obscure though.

You’re cutting up your phone?

Universally admired I'd say, and the game will be poorer without him in it. The news highlights on gameday will be a couple of minutes shorter no doubt.

Thanks again for this TMD. Loved Nibbler's highlights. Gees he makes some good decisions, he's a ripper.

Gus is a beauty that can play anywhere although I don’t think we’ve tried him as a third ruck option as yet. Something to ponder.

I wonder if the coaches looked a week ahead and picked Milkshake as they saw a role against Freo and this gives him a week to come up to speed (as well as getting another game closer to 200)

And whether we’re preparing for opposition beanies to come out at their best

I hope the coaches can educate both Kade and the broader playing group on what Kade should have done. Looked textbook to me with unfortunate head contact.

I’d like to vote for Viney’s kick to Frittata in the 2nd when we went coast to coast for a goal as DL video of the week. That kick was sublime.

Maybe they'll try and rustle up an earthquake this year.
