In Harmes Way

Proud of the composure showed by the boys in the last 3 minutes. Better than what was going on in our lounge room. And that 50m penalty for their first goal was a [censored] joke

AND making the finals means Nth Melbourne lose in the 1st round draft pick swap.

Not sure how the fixturing would work If the Grand Final remains in the last Saturday of September (25/09/2021) and games revert to weekly, with the 4 weeks of finals, 1 week off for Festival of Football and 28 home and away rounds the season kicks off on 6 February. Aren't grounds still being used for cricket then?

Into the wind

I think the real question is why can’t we instead of could we

This is the only reference I've seen on this WWSW

Thanks for posting this SWYL. I can't see the chat/interview podcast. The latest podcast visible (We're going backwards) indicates it's a separate podcast to be posted. Maybe not up yet?

I’m still mulling over the comment on another thread where somebody on here was rubbishing Lyon as a potential coach because he suggested TMac at CHB as an option. Hes certainly an upgrade on his brother or JSmith IMO. If he can’t get a look in the forward line, maybe having him, May and Lever as the three talls isn’t a bad idea.

Whilst I appreciate that their aging list is a couple of years further on since he left Hawthorn, my view is that Clarko was made to look better by Chris Fagan quietly keeping things in order in the background. I think they've been missing this since he left.

Except that this site will be witnessing the biggest pile of slop ever seen

Completely agree! I also rate the Jack Watts sealer in the QB game, I had the whole southern stand behind us erupt. But 60K+ dees fans at a final all giving it heaps is hard to beat.

Me and my boy were on level 1 at the 50, about 10 rows back. My son (14) yesterday rated this moment his #1 highlight with his dad in his life so far.

2018 Prelim by a country mile

Looking at Jones despondent on the bench after his injury, I was more angry than sympathetic that he played at all given his quad injury a couple of weeks back. I hope it was all above board and thoroughly tested before picking him, rather than taking his word for it and then him playing dodgy in the hope of making 300 games (a la Viney a couple of years back).

Everyone in QLD has been shaking their heads at Melbourne for a couple of months now. At least now it's Melbourne the footy club that is the focus of derision rather than the rest of us.

If they put in a four quarter effort like they did against the pies and saints, this shouldn't be close. #beentherebefore #MFCSS

Thanks for passing this on DJ. I was hopeful we'd do this, worked well for the 4 day break in Adelaide for the Crows/Roos games. Hopefully we take several extras for the second game to rotate out some tired legs.

I am lying down reading this but it isn’t helping

Another 4 quarter effort like last week and we’ll get this done. Unless their score is larger than ours at the end (channeling @Ethan Tremblay)

I don't understand why there is angst on the thread around Wallis punching Green in the throat. Dusty does it every other week and only cops a fine, if anything. Hardwick has gone several rungs down the ladder in my estimation on this. He needed to point to all the media noise being a learning opportunity for Lynch who has played too close to the line and transgressed - rather than retaliating - and esp. getting personal. What a [censored]. He could learn a thing or two from Goody in this respect.

Most of the blokes who've worn the number 2 in the last 50 years.

Whilst I think AVB has shown genuine concern and represented both himself and the club beautifully, the collective response from Collingwood has been equally first class - firstly Mihocek's parents and now this from both Adams and Bucks. Rare example of the game looking after itself.

I was concerned reading the thread title that he had been announced as an inclusion. Blood pressure coming back to normal......

He's gone. Literally.
