Previously known as LITD.

The bonus % would be nice and may elevate us to second

It's an effort to placate egos and try to maintain morale.

I think we beat them psychologically as well.

Probably have to catch up with my local parish priest for confession after support for the cats tonight. Oh well, one does what one must.

It's really interesting to me that we are in fourth spot but according to every betting site I've checked, we are second faves to win the flag. After the tigers win we are at 4.75 after pies at 2.50. Port @ 7 and lions@ 7.50. Form is obviously the driver for this recent odds renewal. We firmed up after kicking 130 points. I think they have agreed that we now have a dangerous fwd line and two of the comps best players in Fritta and Oliver to soon return.

Credit to the tigers midfield. The ball was coming into our backline at breakneck speed and made it super hard to defend.

Mcvee has been given some of the comps incredible talents to play against. He's bound to beaten now and then. Given his age and experience, he's done a great job. I'm sure he will rightly continue with the clubs confidence and faith. I'd like to see Hibbo play but there's really no room for him . I think Smith will be sub again.

I'd say that's safe.

Tigers probably tired from last Sunday

Retro round.....a couple of beers and a durry at half time.

Do footy players go through some media training that make them inclined or contracted to use the word obviously?

Thanks very much SFebes. Looking forward to it.

I'm pretty sure Thommo will get Larkey.

Do we have any clearer news about Oliver's return as of yet?

Tommos been gettng some good opponents.

Rightly so Uncle. No dusty no tigers.

Tommo gets another shot.

I thought resting Max was a good idea too. But then I thought Max is a confidence player. This has become more evident by his drop on form on sharing his role with Grundy. Perhaps breaking his great form and momentum may be detrimental. Jvr probably to take on a little more ruck.

I think Sparrow is the obvious choice to replace Woey. Taj has been good and glad the club has given him time but he's on the cusp of best 22 for me. I thought the club would play Grundy so Max gets to play about 75% bit wondering now if Jvr plays more ruck. Ideally I would love Hibbo to play but can't work out who gets dropped for him.

Credit to Goody for revisiting the Petty asa forward experience. I thought it was done and dusted and couldn't work out why he supposedly chucked it in. I Guess Tommos good form gave him some freedom to try once more. So glad he did. I think Petty has returned to his proper position.

I'm guessing your a lawyer by trade.

Fair call JG. I think odds suggest that you are right. Having said that if we beat the blues and then hawks we will well and truly have some steam up with a lot at stake at the Scg. We don't have a great record there but playing for second spot or would help. Buddy not playing on some super send off doesn't hurt our chances either. Hopefully by then Sydney's finals hopes are mathematically impossible. Also how tremendous it would be going into finals with that many wins on the trot with Fritta and Oliver back . I hope this doesn't sound too delusional.😀

I'm not having a crack at anyone here but fully agree with you on Bbb. I still have some hope he can play again. That aside I've never understood some of the criticism of him. Some of it right from the start. He was a leading j and a goal scorer for three consecutive years fgs at North. And yes played a huge part in helping us win a flag in 21. I get that he's probably not up to it now but like Tmac it's not a matter of will or form. I believe their downturn has been completely injury related.

Absolutely. Although for me that involves a ten hour drive. I'm wondering now if interest rates and living costs are impacting on attendance. Certainly a months Kayo sub is cheaper than going to one game. But thanks for supporting the team in person.
