  1. Moore holds a guy for ten seconds....play on.
  2. This is beautiful. Such is my hatred of Cwood.
  3. Go ( cough) Port.
  4. Fair dinkum cheats these maggots. Footy Gods justice.
  5. That wouldn't be so bad I guess.... Depending on which games and what not. Don't mind grumpy old me but it just seems odd. Unlike Basketball or the big bash footy doesn't need any embellishments.
  6. I thought something was nqr with those. I think he'll be alright as a fwd. He's certainly showing signs of not having a good pre season. Hell come good. Pretty sure you don't fluke bags of six . He's got the talent to play fwd and back.
  7. Can we stop playing music after goals. It's not basketball or the big bash fgs
  8. Crows are hopeless.
  9. I'm really surprised by those stats. I didn't think he'd played fwd that much. There not flattering performances.
  10. Is that jumper red or my eyes and /or my cheap Tcl on the fritz? Aren't jaffas more an orange than red?
  11. Those bomber's jumpers look putrid. Expect a Dons win I guess.
  12. I'm surprised too that Neita was/ is shorter. He seemed a giant. From my fact sheets,Jvr and Neita are exactly the same height at 6 four in the old language and 193 for the Europeans amongst us . Though Neitas upper body was already around two axe handles wide at the age of eighteen.
  13. I don't think we have really seen enough from Laurie at senior level as yet. I don't think Woey has done enough either. But I'm all at sea for alternatives. What about young Brown?
  14. Agree with those peeps although Never been to an ANZAC day game. And I'm sure I never will. I've watched a lot of them. They get massive crowds( but so does our night game). They have more history I suppose. But the thing is being in the dark with all the mobiles on and the chill in the air and the spotlights...our game seems to have an edge the day game simply doesn't. I expect it to be at least as big as the day game if it's not already and in a short amount of time. Must be nice to see it all from the middle. There will still be a big crowd. Enjoy.
  15. Best legal defence in the land. We need to get more references for our players.
  16. I don't understand why they bring up character references and service to the community. Silly me. I thought it was about protecting players heads and necks. What a fool I've been.
  17. Thanks DT. That's a fascinating stat and I'm quite surprised. He has to work extra hard in having to leap to overcome the height disadvantage but he's clearly doing what's expected. That said all that leaping probably wears him out somewhat. I think his ground skills he brings to a ruck duel are top notch. I guess in an ideal world I'd prefer a bigger second ruck for a number of reasons and also let Jvr at a young age focus on being a forward.
  18. Absolutely. Lever did nothing untoward in the slightest. There was no effort on his part to make it worse. If GL believes otherwise, he's a huge goose .
  19. It does have a built in bias towards mids. But I kinda like the fairness aspect about being excluded if suspended.
  20. Living interstate, I've only been able to get to one of these games. If you are umming ( sorry Binners) about going to this game, let me assure you it was one of the best games I have attended. We lost ( Injuries took a toll). Richmond were a dominant side then as well. But it's the pre match stuff that makes it. The ceremony of mobile phones and the last post. It's heart in mouth stuff . It's humbling and pride filling at the same time. It's hairs rising on the back of your neck as well. I guarantee it will fill you with gratitude and patriotism . And I'm pretty sure we will win this. Although despite the tigers form I guess with the crowd and occasion there could be an upset. Nah. Enjoy.
  21. I feel the same but he just doesn't seem as tall as this blokes. Maybe because they have filled out more. I still agree with Bluey that Jvr would be best a chf. Not because of height but more his athleticism.
  22. Don't think he'll grow any taller. He's 21 What he lacks in height ..not that 194 is short...he makes up with his giant leap. One of the best. I would prefer to see him play chf with his athleticism and tank. And despite his leap maybe have someone taller giving Max a chop out. Although Jvrs skills at ground level are pretty good. Time will tell. I get the feeling that at the moment he's trying too hard. His hands are hitting the ball too fast and so he's not holding as many. Needs to just drop his hands at the last second and cushion the impact a little. Once he starts holding them which is mostly technical then he will be a weapon. I really think he's got a huge career ahead of him. And your spot on about loyalty.
  23. He's in a down patch lately. But let's remember he's only been playing for twelve months. But he's certainly shown enough at a young age that he's definitely a keeper. Well done to all. Agree with Bluey that he's probably a chf than a deep fwd. And while having a great leap and doing ok in the ruck, I don't think he's ideal as a second. His competitiveness and energy is top shelf and I expect him to have a long a fruitful career in footy. Still needs to learn a few things but he has all the hallmarks of being a very good footballer. Due to start clucking them all soon and then a nice bag of sausage rolls.
  24. After only five games at senior level, why young Laurie was chosen as a sub in such a huge game against the pies was mystifying. And it's not as if he tore those five games apart either. I was really baffled by Goody call to put him in that final. It would be good to see young Brown get a go but Hunter would be my pick.
  25. Is K.Brown a chance against the Tigers?
