In Harmes Way

That makes one of us

Just ignore him Adam. It’s just easier. How’s fatherhood going for you?

I loved this from Titus on the Anzac Day game: I do love the ANZAC Day clash though, partly because the build-up is so fun. When talking to Pies and Bombers supporters, question whether the two clubs are good enough to hold on to it.

Very funny. Could probably pull together a few "then" and "now" tweets from DL which wouldn't be too dissimilar.

What I wouldn't give for a GWS win tonight, a Dees win tomorrow night and for Nathan Jones to be in a side that is on top of the ladder after kicking a couple of snags in his 300th.

Sure there's potential downside with long term player performance vs. size of contract as the Harmes knockers are alluding to. On the other hand, it allows the club some long term certainty in signing the guns we can't afford to lose as they know exactly what salary cap they've got to negotiate with. You need to have faith the player on the 5 year deal will perform - Salem has certainly given a great account of himself to date. Very professional all round if you ask me.

It might be for the exposure praha, but I'd rather we play earlier in the weekend so I can enjoy the rest of my weekend after (hopefully) a win. It's a PITA and a bit deflating coming home from the game and getting the kids sorted for school.

Ignore the noise Tom, just keep doing your best and put pressure on the others to take your spot in the team.

What Salem has significantly improved this year is his kicking. I've always thought he was good at intercepting and 1v1's, but would then turn the ball over despite being known as a great kick. I've got BT saying "not his best kick" ringing in my ears. But thankfully terrific this year. 78% DE up from 72% last year.

At the very least, let's keep the team together until after the finals are finished. The potential downside is far worse than the potential upside.

First time Kozzie, Rivers and Jackson have played in front of 70000+ supporters. Welcome to the big stage.

It would be handy if the car park at the Bentleigh Club was the size of the MCG

Difficult for Hunty to play within himself when he's the interchange for himself. He'll be stuffed.

Another half a dozen inside mids should do it.

Goodwin on May (https://au.sports.yahoo.com/demons-ponder-forwards-set-regain-010729404.html): "He's got the clearance from the surgeon around his eye, so he's really confident in that," Goodwin said. "He's got to get through some concussion protocols in the back end of the week, but he's really confident. "He's trained really strongly through this little period, the last four or five days. "We're confident that he's in a good position and will be available to play and we're going to need Steven. "He's a really good leader for us and they've got some really dominant key forwards in the game."

Redivert Hoddle Street and close Brunton Avenue?

To be fair, we're never going to drop Oscar McDonald again.

Second shelf from the top in the warmer at Maffra Bakery!

Thanks @Drunkn167. Great to hear Dec's killing it. Good golf course in Maffra. And Maffra pies are just about the best in Victoria.

Just watched the Nate Jones press conference at the G for his 300th. The whole club playing list were there in support. It's the little things we're absolutely smashing at the moment. Being there for each other. F'ing awesome.

I was amazed to see Lingers sprint off for a spell on the bench halfway through the last. I thought he might need directions it had been that long

Hi Luci, AFL app under match day, players. Let me know if you have issues

Below shows the heat maps for ANB over the first 5 rounds (Round 5 on the right). 7 inside 50's on Sunday, but almost no presence at all inside forward 50. Most of the heat would be due to the large amount of points we scored and the fact that the resultant kickin went out to this members flank. Rounds 3-4 in particular showed much more of a pressure presence inside 50. I wonder if he has been instructed more to sit a kick behind the play and lock it in (and also create space inside 50 as a result).

Awesome game Jake, you've picked yourself for next week....

Bit harsh OD to be calling poor attendance results when you're steadfastly refusing to go yourself in the current climate, which I totally understand by the way. I'm seeing general attendances around 30-35K at the games I've been too. There was 36,300 at this one, which I thought was about average.
