What has Petty been eating?

Bowey is just the best.

Off to the races. Exciting stuff. We have nothing to.lose here. Let's take it on all the time.

Salem needs to show more courage

Turner back in form.

What was Viney thinking?

If Petty plays like last week and Fritta and Melksham and Kozzie fite....we are in this.

Petty is back ...game four. Pies fans booing like the scum they are.

Gee we get some rubbish centre bounces. All the time. Never called back.

Backline sound asleep

Let's just hope for ss many pies injuries as possible. Nothing life-threatening but serious enough to destroy a flag chance. A few knees in backs and a couple of footy knock out acts and a few other wishes. Plus a win. That's all

I guess it depends on the act though. Maybe your rightly assuming the trend will continue. Do we need entertainment? What about a magic act? It's really a duplicate of the Superbowl. Let's do something different? A celebration of the game or the country or anything but overpaid hyped up oseas acts that use every pyrotechnic and stunt to distract from the rubbish music they make. How about a montage of the greatest marks...goals...tackles...plays...... That's the next four years and cheap as chips Maybe a local band to accompany it. A celebration of Oz sporting events could cover the next four to eight. Followed by the worst umpire calls and then some heroes of the country for a couple of years in different avenues. There that's the next 15 covered. Rinse and repeat and you have 30 years for next to the cost of a few beers at the footy. Goodbye overseas homophobic hacks.... hello reduced tix costs and better entertainment. Problem solved. Let's face it.......those stuck at the game line up to buy beer and food for 25 mins during the acts and those at home go out and do a hammy or acl by playing kick to kick in the backyard or street, with a belly full of beer. Monday after gf day is a goldmine for gps, surgeons and physios. Anyway I'm ok with music acts but why keep importing them? It smacks of insecurity and bad taste. And even if the older folks in the Afl have to pick a band from the 70s or 80s, there are some great oz ones for sure. Per Capita, we punch way above our musical weight. And I get the problem of this thread raising it's ugly head each year but maybe it should do. I'm tired of swift...Williams... Perry..bla bla bla If they could raise the dead they would probably bring back the Eagles.

Is this really the best the AFL can do? How much will this jack up already outrageously expensive tix? And what's with the obsession of oseas acts, always,? We have the best bands in the world in Oz. Support them. Time to grow up AFL. We will never sell our sport oseas so give it up.

I day we test as many key.playets as possible this weekend so they are nice and fresh next round. Oh wait. At least Rankine gets a nice little break Let's hope they ( the crows who said he was contrite and would accept whatever comes his way ) win or lose both finals and if the former, get smashed by the GCS in the big dance. Tee hee.

All this thread has done has trigger me about the downfall of my self managed superfund. Thanks heaps.

I know. I know. Fair point. I have moaned about Goody playing him fwd for so long I was boring myself. Not an easy task. And you and I have been on the same page about HP being out of his depth in this role for two and half seasons. And rightly so. I thought young Jeffo made a little progress and was unfairly dumped. But after fifty odd games of bagging the bloke it's been good to finally see he has learned something. He has played three very good games as a fwd . That's all I'm saying mate. Will he be our fwd Savior? Probably not. But at least for three weeks in a row he is actually moving in the right direction for once. It's better than anything else he's done. I'm just saying it's nice to see and hoping against hope, it keeps happening. Probably won't but if it does than Ill streak down my Street t if he wins a Coleman.i think the neighbors are fairly safe.

I disagree TJF As a player masquerading as a fwd for over two years he has been consistently and rather than all.ovrbthe pace has been reliably quite poor. Bit the last three weeks have shown totally consistency and increased improvement each game. Almost enough to get a little excited about but at least enough to comment on and hope it continues. Because of it's one player we need to improve it's definitely him.

Well it's certainly taken a very long time but the the last three weeks and games by Harrison Petty have been much better. Didn't think of be saying this. He is starting to move like a forward. I still think he's been one of our best defenders and I feel a lot t have forgotten how good he was in that role but three weeks of promising prowess as a powerful forward if I can go that far, is looking good. Given our dearth of quality tall fwds is he finally coming into his own in the role? Oh boy I hope so. I've been his biggest critic and not without reason. But credit due where it needs to be. One week...good day. Two weeks....luck? Three weeks..... there is something there. He's kicking at goal has improved. His contested marks have increased a lot. He looks faster. Often getting in front for a change. And his chasing and pressure acts have increased. Yes if this continues on the current trajectory than we may just possibly have a solution to our fwd woes. Big call and very early days but here's hoping he turns it on again v pies. Not just because I hate Cwood but four weeks..... Enough to almost say he's a fwd.

There change in form has certainly changed our fortunes. Persviuouly and rightfully dubbed the dynamic duo they often changed the course of a game and season. Add to those two Greats, Jack Viney and to a lesser extent Harmes at his peak and it was a nightmare midfield for all coaches. Then of course Max with his precision tap work and the clearances were usually always in our favor. But aside from the downturn in those big names we had a lot others go backwards and or leave. I'm not sure if it's an issue of players breaking them. It seems more a case of side stepping or avoiding them in the first instance.

Great call

I think the cricket is going south.

Umps working overtime now Whoo hoo

Go Nibbler

How appropriate kfc support pies
