Blicavs has been flaying FB, he’ll play on Hogan or TMac

I’m surprised with the Smith inclusion, he’s a scrapper, not a run and deliver player. A bit confusing to me, I thought Wagner would be more like for like? Then again neither have shot the lights out of late. Not so sure about that inclusion, Tyson may be ok on a smaller ground.

Don’t stress, we’ll get Matt Nicholls instead ??

In that case he should have got an Uber or used the train.

13 will get you in. 12 and a draw may just be enough also. I think we're cooked and won't make it anyway.

Do the ladder predictor and see for yourself

I don’t think I said it was a conspiracy, just that he shouldn’t be allowed to umpire their games and he did last week. I think all umpires should be separated from the clubs, so not to strike up any friendships. Scott looked uncomfortable when questioned about the cafe/umpire also. They know the rules, a club can’t determine how an umpire will interpret anything on any given day also.

Which umpires? First I’ve heard of it

Pannell was busted in a cafe with someone from the Cats according to Scott’s presser.

Bloody busted hey!! Dodgy bastards. Well Pannell umpires their game last week, will watch with interest going forward

Yep he did last week v Crows!!

Well based on that, he shouldn’t be allowed to umpire any of their games. Does anyone have any info on whether he has been?

Speaking of shinboners, I had a night on the beers with Glenn Archer a couple of years ago. Was a funny night apart from him telling me the Dees were rubbish and had no hope.

He was touted as a top 5 pick at one stage as a junior, we got a steal with him and he’ll develop into a beauty. He has one thing many of our players lack and that is footy smarts

Doesn't he go for North? Probably tell everyone how great the idea is. Was it DB who said we had a scattergun approach? or was it another club? If us, he was right lol

" Meanwhile, AFL umpire Troy Pannell was on hand for match simulation on Wednesday, part of the Cats' education process. "We try to get an umpire down as often as possible," Scott said. "We're in the fortunate position that Troy's been available to come down given he umpired our game last week, he's got some insights that would be fresh in his mind."

A few posters going bananas out there

I'll leave it with ya champ, enjoy. Go dees Melb needed experience and got Cross, Vince and Lewis. We needed a tall defender and got Lever. We need an outside mid with speed, we are targeting Gaff. We have a method, they do not.

And the reason is they are desperate

Yes mate we all understand that, but there's no method in what they're doing. A KPF one week, outside mid the next, winger the next, etc etc.

Good. We will see just how accountable our midfield is, see if they can defend like finals.

We might as well rest OMac and Frost too just to make it the full backline monty!

For the same result - nobody wants to go there.

I realise that, but that wasn't really the crux of what I was saying.

Sam Manure I'm going to call him from now on.
