In Harmes Way

It rained at the half time break after TMac had taken that mark, which was in the 2nd. Weid's uncontested effort that went between his hands was early in the 4th when it had just stopped raining.

A shout out for Petty who has copped a bit on here for some time, I thought his game was really solid yesterday. That kick from the guts in the last favouring Nibbler who ran off his man and goaled was a total ripper. Hoping he grows in confidence of that game, if so I reckon he'll more than cover the loss of Tomlinson

I reckon we need to give Chandler a run. Loved his over the head handball to Spargo for a goal. Dropping him after a week won’t be great for his long term confidence.

How the hell did Lever get pinged for holding the ball when he picked it up in congestion and was immediately tackled? At least they only scored a point from it, but it was a BS call Good win to the boys. TMac massive. 9-0 baby!!!

I was there last week AF, but I can’t see the Blues bringing 4 QTEQ of heat. That said, I remember 2016-2017 when we should have belted them but didn’t.

Nathan Jones out for a few weeks with a minor hamstring strain, injured yesterday at training https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/hamstring-injury-puts-nathan-jones-record-attempt-on-hold/news-story/857785c93ca884196dbd04ef1f3aef02

Do you live in Palm Cove?

I'd hope so Nasher. Rather than reducing salary cap pressure, it's (hopefully) more a shifting of the salary cap pressure on to other players we can't afford to lose - Clarry will be looking for a significant contract in 2 years time as well as Rivers, Kossie and Jackson starting to move into the window of commanding a larger share of the pie.

They can take this years Melbourne entry off it then...

According to the Matter of Stats website, more than 50,000 simulations suggest we're likely to finish top 4. http://www.matterofstats.com/mafl-simulations/2021-simulating-the-final-ladder-after-round-8

I'm not sure what's worse. That we have a three page thread on socks or that I've just read it all.

I watched the VFL game vs Kangaroos and thought Weid's goal kicking technique was beautiful to watch.

Well deserved recognition.

Happy Mother’s Day to all Demonland mums. Nice to mull over a win while the kids make you breakfast

No 1 vs No 2 pressure teams and the game played like that. There were times I thought we were playing us. I was sitting next to a Swans supporter on the train on the way home who singled out Umpire 7 for a trip to the Albury Wodonga league next week. Thought he stiffed us both. I thought our centre clearances after qtr time was awful. Did well across half back to repel all number of attacks. Tom Mac, take a bow. That pack mark in the 4th was awesome. BBB did some really nice things and shut up his detractors from last week. Nervous for Trac, he didn't look great after the clash at the end. Very proppy. Great win against a good side. Not good for the nerves.

If the ground is as greasy as the aisles here, I’m not surprised the kicking efficiency is down. Few slipping as well.

I’m an Arsenal fan and won’t be singing you’ll never walk alone as it’s Liverpool’s song We’ve already got one that I sing at the end of the game (never at the start, it’s an omen)

Hopefully we took a good look at how they dismantled the Tigers at the G and have a plan for it

The pressure would really be ratcheting up on the Tigers if it wasn’t for 1 good quarter against the Dogs

Congrats to Rick Lever on ? games and lay off Harmesy (although I’d have gone Sparrow)

I don’t glorify him. I reckon he’s just a plain thug

Completely agree. She certainly sounded connected to the playing group. Over and above the clarity she provided on board due diligence on signing off on contracts and salary cap management, which was great; I loved the bit where she got round a young player with a knee injury (I'd say Neita earlier this year?) and suggested he have a chat with Trac, only to be told that Trac had already made contact with him. Shows care within the club from board -> player, not just players looking out for each other.

Thanks to Demonland I haven't suffered alone either.

The only thing that would make this AA22 even better would be to have no pies players and all of Treloar, Stephenson and Phillips in the team
