leave it to deever

I'm wondering if Jvr will bulk up a little? Hes only 20.

Kozzies due for a big one. Exciting to see how Jvr goes again.

Just watched the Saints Power replay. That goal by Powell Pepper in the last was a ripper and then he gives it to the saints supporters.

Gotta crack the 120 point mark.

I hope we come out really switched on and not expecting norf to be a pushover. Also hope the quick turnaround in game time doesn't see us fade away in the last and we dominate all night.

Can you both wear a flower in your hair?

Why are we playing tonight, instead of tomorrow?

Um that was woke mate and rightly so. A complete oversight by myself, adult add and pre coffee post. Apologies to all especially the great female posters . Thanks for pointing it out, and at the risk of sounding Woke, being woke isn't a negative thing, as ironic as this sentence is. Which makes me scratch my head at Floridas governor ( the one vying for the Usa's top job) stating.."I declare a war on Woke". God forbid Florida has people doing and saying what's right.

Sorry gents its whinge time for me. Is our Tio stadium game against the Giants worth it? In the literal sense it's worth it, ie financially. I know the club makes more money by the relocation but I'm thinking more about the effects it probably has on the teams energy levels. I do believe in the first five of our games this year, the 3 interstate games must have taken some toll on the players. Not so much the short flight to Adelaide but flying to Brisbane and Perth would have taxed the players somewhat. It can be argued the gather travel is not relevant as all clubs do it but not necessarily so close to two other big trips. With the Tio game we play 7 interstate games not including the gather game and a trip to kardinia which is just as bad. Why is it bad?...the fact that we are only one of 4 Vic clubs to play there says something. It's a tough gig with the cats huge success rate there. So it's 8 interstate and a trip to Geelong. I guess in summary I'm thinking out loud that since the Tio game is in our power to stop, it should be played at the Mcg. The negatives of travelling is difficult to quantify but I'm sure it has some relevance to the ultimate factor of playing a granny....the number of wins. If rescheduling the Giants game to the G, increases our chances for a win and maybe preserves our energy for the next game, we should do so. Yes $ are important but in this so called flag window, we should see the flag first and cash later. It's been a good spectacle in the past and provided much needed funds. But we are a bettervteam now and ultimately it's about enough points to play finals and getting that elusive cup. Go for the cup Mfc.

I say keep it but I think they could have a 25 m penalty used in conjunction. Not all infractions deserve the same penalty. Just saying.

The crowd looks pretty paltry after Anzac round.

No wonder the saints are top of the ladder. 5 out of their six games and wins have been in Melbourne. Only losss was the gather round which does not count as a travel game since we all did it. Now they have 2 more games in Melbourne. Best draw in the comp.

I'd love to see that spew aimed at Toby green. What a signature move.

Straight out of the Excorcist.

I think the seasons a lot tighter too with more teams a chance for the grand prize. Hopefully we have a much better run with less injuries and gather some cohesion along with momentum winning the next 3. At the risk of ire, I still hold hope for Bbb.

I would be horizontal with the darts landing back on me.

Thanks Demon Dynasty, I hope you are right. Interesting point about Harmes and Daicos. Still can't get used to hearing Kb round. Maybe Kevin Barlett?😃

Maybe. For me he just doesn't seem to be strong enough in the legs to take contested marks or shrug off opponents. He's definitely athletic enough, fast and reads the play well but I'm pretty confident he's much more suited to defending.

It's a worry that neither tmac or bbb took their chance for a definitive spot in the seniors. Anyone that doesn't think we have a forward line problem is kidding themselves. Thank goodness for Jvr stepping up but he's still a young unknown. Not saying he won't perform but it's not guaranteed and we don't know at what level. He's only got 5 games in fgs. Kozzie is up and down and Fritta though ok isn't where he used to be at. Credit to Goody for trying the Petty option but as much as always hoped for it, he wasn't really up to it. Maybe with Gawn back in he will help out but his kicking still worries me. If we are going to win a flag thus year we definitely need either Tmac or Bbb to come good or a long shot in Schache. And it needs to happen soon. Our fwd line fell apart last year and it saw us drop out in straight sets. Any suggestions?

Tx George. Is Spargo coming back in?

The tackling by Cwood in the last quarter was ferocious. It's what was lacking from us against Essendon. Even the tackles we did lay were not very intense.

I think he's been good. His tap work especially. He does need to take more marks.

If only.
