Is it raining in Manchester?

Now for the big game of the round. Dockers v Swans. Oh wait that was last year.

It's their last gasp this round for them. I hope we start like and finish like last week, with a lot more of it in between. It's probably a slow weekend but you should probably stop branding cats over it.

Have we shot the lions confidence?

I know it makes us equal third on points but I don't want cats close to fourth.

Pheeeeewwww.

Who is that cats player that looks like Spargo?

That goal helped keep those pesky cats down where they belong.

Maybe. Hope not.

It's the Bairstow curse upon us . We will start dropping all our catches soon as well. I'm doing a rain dance as I type. Oh no here come Geelong. Ughhh

For a bloke almost seven foot, four marks in the Magoo's isn't very good. Didn't watch it. Maybe he didn't play a full game. It's not a strong feature of his skillet. I do find his tap craft very good at he's good below his knees. Not sure if he will become a good fwd. He wasn't bad in the pre season games .

Pretty much the same team in 21 we beat at Geelong and then crushed in a. Prelim. Oh that Prelim. I hope I see us beat them in a Gf one day. After the pies this year.

Na.

Good call Wcw. There are some real narcissists here as in to the general population. Particularly the ones who hide behind the facepalm emoji. We know who they are. It's strange that they don't make use of the ignore function. It works a treat.They would save so much time and energy. Maybe they enjoy all the agro. For what it's worth, I enjoy all your content as well as your commitment and efforts in supporting this club.

Cos we always play them at Fortress Kardinia or whatever it's called.

I wish the mro would fine acts like Sicily's dive today. Shame the umps reward them. I know it's hard in real time but that was a shocker. Hence the mro

Thanks dr thats a shame but I guess it's only one game. I really believe the fd is committed to seeing him play finals. I hope it hasn't demotivated the bloke being dropped. Was he played predominantly as a forward today?

I think Goody is showing who he wants in the finals side. Jvr didn't knock the door down but is back. Having said that, I think Goodwin will test both of these players and he's not afraid of dropping them again. Despite Goody saying there's plenty of time left to sort things out, there isn't. It's crunch time. Jvr, Chandler and Bbb are all in the mix. We need at least one tall so Jvr or Bbb are a lock one would think. Hopefully Grundy comes in soon to pick up the slack so to speak. Big game for Melksham again . If Fritta returns to fitness, he's definitely coming in for finals so it's up to Milk to keep his spot. No reason we can't have two mediums.

Well at least you have some pretty good footy smarts Layzie. Will we get the chocolates this weekend? It's so sweet beating the Crows. Hope our forward line delivers. I don't think Grundy will get the nod and Chandler probably comes in for Spargo. Good to see Tommo back. Can't see Goody making three changes😀

And I thought Goody's selections were baffling on occasion. Love how Warner keeps "telling" the selectors how he will retire in Oz.

Needs to retire .

Thanks oldandgrumpy55.😀

Fgs, what coaches say and do definitely don't always coincide. Not to mention that the team is evolving. It's a big deal he's not playing at all so one can't assume he's still going to spend time in the ruck and play fwd. I'd wager Goody is definitely keeping his cards close as the club doesn't really know what to do at this point. I find it interesting that Goodwin has to take time out to assure everyone that Grundy WILL be playing finals.

Couldn't agree more. I really think Goody has totally scrapped the Petty move which is strange because as you correctly mentioned, was finally working well. Which really means that Tommo is just a spare. Maybe the media is on to something and that the bloke just wants to play some serious footy in the twilight of his career. Probably a good three years left. His pies performance was no accident. Hes a good footballer and it would be a shame to lose him. I guess when you have depth there is always the annual churn from the yearn to play.

So the consensus seems that Grundy plays and spends time predominantly as a forward. So the real question is, whoa makes way for him? Bbb was better than Jvr last week but didn't kill it. The Petty plan seems shelved for the season. I'm not sure we will see Smith get another crack fwd unless he comes in there via subway and does well. Pretty sure Tmac is finished. Even if he gets over his injury, time may beat him and his form prior wasn't great.
