In Harmes Way

Not only that Ernie - he could have made a motza if he kept the ball.

Gees, there's no better message to the playing group than the coach taking a haircut and that the money needs to look after everyone to sustain success. What a legend.

More often than not when I've heard Robbo speak, I reckon he's got the health of the game at heart but his mouth is in 4th gear and his brain is in 1st.

I wondered how insulated the AFL fraternity could be from the constant media, and then I once heard Jordan Lewis say he listened to smooth fm on the way home from training as there was no way there'd be any footy content. I guess it can be done.

Just couldn't resist eh?

Now let’s go and comment on how much we need to keep Dogga and Clarry on their respective contract renewal threads. At yesterdays indigenous jumper presentation, Ky-ya explained the emu footprints were a symbol of moving forward as a club as emus can’t move backwards. I wonder if this is Shiels nickname

Welcome back Kev, I always enjoyed your track watching reports. Thanks for sharing this too....

After listening to Sam Mitchell's press conference post game on the weekend, I'm not surprised his and Yze's votes are aligned. He was gracious and articulate.

Nice argument. I'm in the camp that we need all three of TMac, Weid and BBB to be at the top of their game come finals, so giving them all a solid run of games only improves us as a team should any of the three have an injury/COVID. The arguments around TMac vs Weid and dropping one of them permanently don't really help us manage future contingencies/risk mitigation in my view. Best wishes to TMac on his 200th if selected, he was a shining light in defence for many of our dark years and his kicking for goal is eons ahead of his kicking out of defence. I hope he's picked and plays a blinder.

I agree with all that think the Narrm Dees footy club rebranding is a great idea. Gees I couldn't be prouder of our club. Hopefully the Kangaroos take on North Narrm for the round, also has a nice ring to it.

Tom Sparrow's debut was the only highlight of that day. And it was sunny.

That's really holding a grudge.

Same. Just a cold, crappy day and the boys just looked flat throughout.

5 time premiership ruckman Big Bob Johnson says hello

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw Bowser included.

Any thoughts on Yze taking on a captain coach role this weekend and coaching from the guts rather than the box?

So was I.

Fingers crossed we don't have a more widespread issue with COVID this week or next given Goody could well be a close contact for the whole playing group. I like that Yze has been the eyes of the operation from the coaching box - not much will need to change I wouldn't have thought, we'd just be missing Goody's clear messaging from the sideline.

Nice summary @joeboy I don't always 100% agree, but this was a good wrap.

And not only that, he took the decision up to the ARC so we could enjoy watching him get hit continually in the knackers for a further good couple of minutes. Backwards and forwards......

Where’s Tom Morris when you need him?

I wonder if he wants to be the CEO of the new Tasmanian franchise and is positioning to counteract Peter Gutwein's resignation as Tasmanian premier.

That’s easy for you to say

Welcome back WCW! Lovely to see you back and getting over the lurgy (and trolls). This snippet made me smile, because the game was depressing to watch - even with company.

Garry and Bucks on SEN this morning jokingly suggested the fourth most likely challenger to ourselves are the Casey Demons.
