  1. I thought it was position they were taken in the draft - until I got to Trevor Barker.
  2. Is there a "you can show yourself out" emoticon?
  3. Got someone in mind Colin?
  4. Exactly why Tasmania doesnt have a team in the AFL
  5. Chris Scott laments that the best 22 should be out there playing every week. What he’s ignoring is that he should be trading some of his dinosaur aged best 22 to have a balanced age profile. As an example, the Hawks made some difficult decisions over the last 5 years to do exactly this. You can’t change the rules to suit the list you’d like to have.
  6. With Steve Hocking moving to Geelong CEO and his brother as Geelong coach, there’s two conflicts of interest for Brad Scott to be given the AFL footy boss role. On this basis, lock it in
  7. * Jordan. Just saying……
  8. Maybe give Rivers/other 1-3 Yr players a rest for the Darwin game. Essentially remove 2 long haul flights from the accumulating fatigue on younger bodies on the eve of a finals series. It’s also a good chance to reward those at Casey on the cusp of a game.
  9. Only one of about 20 howler umpiring decisions on the night Jimmy
  10. I’m sure we’ve had some teams bad enough that the President has thought to pull in the boots and bring us a win. God knows I have.
  11. I agree there are some good full backs out there, but it's no coincedence we're the stingiest defence in the league. That's got to see both May and Lever in key defence roles IMHO.
  12. Great insights from TMac in this post game video on the MFC website. Another fine intervew from Ben Gibson. https://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/974597/rd-17-tom-mcdonald-post-game?videoId=974597&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1625751396001
  13. That may be absolutely true faulty, but his calling of the Hannan goal in the Geelong 2018 final totally offsets all the garbage he's come out with since.
  14. And I would like to think it makes us more likely to get marquee time slots with the best umpires. And that is not even sarcastic. Looks like your bread got wet
  15. Match committee has demonstrated track record in trying to keep team stability or backing in a player who might have been unremarkable in a game.. I remember all the calls for Fritta to be dropped around R2-3, when his set shots for goal accuracy wasn't great. Two weeks later he's kicked a few and is undroppable. Similarly, Weed was given a block of games until the Sydney game showed a change was due. There will be no changes barring any injuries. Hats off to Gus for playing one eyed, hope there's nothing in that.
  16. For all of the port fans singing before the game, we actually did tear them apart. I'm loving watching my son (15) reacting to the games. Last night he said "I love them all" which was a far cry from his primary school days.
  17. I didn’t need one either OD, but I do want one
  18. How good is the weekend when you win on a Thursday!
  19. Kossie Kossie Kossie
  20. Don’t want to plant a “told you so” stake in the ground?
  21. Dean Margetts is the dreaded umpire #6. No way he's impartial.
  22. Technically Canberra is in a territory, not a state.
  23. She's probably thinking "I could do that"
  24. You never know Jaded. The club have a number of measures that aren’t obvious to people outside the clubs inner circle. Or people with eyes. Or fans who have half a clue.
  25. We lost this one in the guts and [censored] kicking for goal. But if umpire 6 is officiating the grannie, and we’re in it, then there’s no way he’s going to let us get over the line. He stiffed us in the Sydney game as well. Thanks to whoever shot his dog.
