Whats wrong with Salem? Huge out

Its not so much the flight. In fact its not that at all. I think the games great for Nt but I think we we would be more a chance winning playing at the G. The club has been making noise about turning the Mcg into a place where clubs are fearful to play against us. So its incongruent to play a G game interstate. We only get 12 games at the Mcg. The more the better.

It was so exciting to see Fritta kick six a few weks back. Got a feeling Tommy will do it today with support from Fritta and Sam . Hopefully dry conditions and a big thumping of crows just to make dogs nervous. Still hard to fathom we could be TEN wins in a row by the end of the day. So glad Lj is back. I hope Melksham gets back to his old form like Tmac has and Viney is back next week. Looking fwd to seeing if Anb plays well again and see what Sparticus offers again. And Kozzie of course. Sooner or later that bloke is going to smash a game.

Yep. Im starting to accept this. Dearly would love all to play but you are correct it just wont really work. No way Jackson can be removed so at present its bw ss or bbb to fight it out.

Would love to see us the ones who burst out of the blocks for once. Perhaps we are saving it for the doggies.

One for Nibbler cos he did well laat week in this department.

Can I just ask if our Alice Springs game v lions is a home game for us? Im sure it is and we are financially compensated for it. I would be keen if mods could do a survey on if this is a good idea. Especially after Goody wants it to be fortress Mcg. Its contrary to this view. Also its not like a trip to Sydney or Canberra. Its a fair distance. Given we play eight away games including kardinia but not the ones at marvel( whick is the mist for vic clubs)... im wondering if we just forgo the $ or whatever and keep our eyes on the ultimate prize...a flag. Also given how covid has stopped so many in melb last year seeing live footy...why play up there ?

When we when our flag this year and the next. ...Oliver will be held up as one of our greats. His goal scoring is poor but thats not his strength. Running marathons and racking up thrity touches , laying 7 tackles every week will suit me.

Yep interesting times for a man in his fifth season.

It begs the question why was he dropped?

Is Melksham back because its better for the team against the crows, did he smash it at casey or just cos bbb wasnt great?

I think at present Bbb is a better player but its line ball. Since sw is young, then long term sw is the one we want playing.

I dont think of Tmac as our best forward. I see him as a great utility player. How do we know bbb or sw wont be as good? And having him on the wing can allow all three quality players to be present. Agreed its been working the way it is but it may just work better.

Yea Tmac has been awesome up forward. Why wouldnt he be awesome on the wing and allowing Gus to do what he does better. And so it allows for bb and sw to play. Just because its different doesnt mean its a bad idea. Surely if allows both sw and bb a rlle it has some merit.

Tlit wouldnt be ideal but certainly Tmac could maybe not as well but hed go very close. Hate to lose him from up fwd but its good to have options and its not like we dont have other fwds.

I know I just dont want to lose sw or bbb and how do we know Tmac is our best without trialling someone else. What we do know of all three Tmac is the one who can play up the ground.

Surely after last game bbb goes before sw. I cant see them playing all of them unless we lose another tall defender and Tmac goes back which Goody said wont happen. He also said that Sams future is secure at the Mfc. Barring injuries Im not sure most of us can understand how it all pans out. Tmac is one of thee best forwards going about at the minute but I must say the times he has dropped back in defence he has been just as good and reminded us how good he used to be in that role. Just maybe given Tommy has lost weight and gained speed it might.... just might I say be worth a trial with Tom on the wing. At least then we can see of they all fit and work. Thats all. Just maybe.?

Plus the strange but always true law of inverse coaches that dictates clubs rebound in the first couple of games after a new coach has been appointed. Its similiar to the strange reversal in form of players who come up against the club that gave them the flick. Oh the mysteries of Australian rules footy. Ps I do hope the wheels fall off after Queenies party game which will reveal the 100 point thumping by us that we have been waiting for.

Who am I kidding...me too mate.

I know where you are coming from and a prelim would be great. However you might as well just aim for a flag and another one for next year. A week is a long time in footy little lone a season. And a prelim is so close to a gf. Its like saying if we get to a gf and lose we will win one next year. Last time we graduated to a prelim it didnt really work for us the following season. Just saying.

Hes probably working on a new cape.

So its you mr woo hooo.

I get the boys doing it. All the excitement and release. But I also get the immature aspect. As for Tracs effort ...yes thats the story there.. captain to be.

No I must say Ive never had the pleasure. Ive heard that most of them are out on day release. So I guess I should be more generous to the crows mob. Nah I cant. Perpetual booers. Drives me bonkers when they boo every shot on goal. I know its not cricket but sheesh. I remember those safari suits. My dad wore one for several years(i think it was the same one) In my role as family clown I wouud quip as he walked out the front door.. "Dad be careful its a jungle out there" He never appreciated it.
