Are you trying to say ANB has some dirt on Goody.😂

(A) Brisbane R2 humid dewy (loss) (N) Essendon R5 wet (loss) (A) Port R10 wet (loss) (H) Fremantle R11 dry (loss) (A) Ferals wet R15 (loss) (Alice) BWS wet R16 (loss) When our ability to mark is taken away from us 30-40% of our game gets taken away from us. These weather affected games take away one of our greatest strengths in our marking ability around the ground. We play the dumbest brand of footy in wet and dewy conditions we treat it like its dry conditions. Very infuriating to watch.

ANB and Chandler need a rest in the magoo's, I'd be bringing in Spargo and giving Bowser a chance as a crumbing forward knows where the goals are. I'll give Brown two weeks to produce something or revert back to the Petty experiment.

Any game with rain involved just mark it down as a loss we have nor the instincts or appetite to play in it. I've said it before and I'll say it again our game is built for dry decks, yes for all the do gooders out there footy is a winter sport but we are dog 💩 with any sign of dew or rain.

Joined the convo late at a bday party, what is the story with Fritta?

Melk wet weather specialist should be playing if it is kissing down with rain. This mistake was made against the Powa in R10.

That's what will undo them in the end this whole contract saga as soon as he signs their will be let down.

Makes tommorow a huge must win contest. Any news on the weather in Alice tommorow? how much did it rain today track watchers in Alice?

Lots of people easily seduced by a walk in the park win over a soft as butter flakey as a flake chocolate Gold Coast side.

No one in the league and for good reasons have decided to sit on Butters. Port are in for a rude shock when finals come along and someone decides to sit on him with a firm tag.

Are they kissed on the pecker or what this lot? They would be fuming though! Suck on a fat one Ferals.

I'll put this to all Demonlanders out there, plenty of discussions have taken place which i haven't been completely over. No doubt it's been mentioned to within an inch of its , I've been thinking about our forward line alot lately. (surprise, surprise 🤪) If BBB were to make his way back in our Forward line would a predominantly front 6 of the following work? Of course throughout the game players can interchange in and out e.g Gawn, Grundy, Petracca, Sparrow, Viney etc. Pickett Brown Chandler/Sparrow Fritsch Van Rooyen Smith/ANB I can understand F50 pressure might be an issue but i do feel Smith, Fritsch and Van Rooyen do create tackle pressure inside F50 to help keep the ball in our scoring zone. Our scoring before with our existing small forwards hasn't been damaging of late. It's concerning i like others in the Deenation feel another tall marking forward will help out JVR considerably. This would no doubt create some balance issues but could also help if we have an injury to a tall having an extra in the line up and the sub could essentially be a mid/ small fwd. (best of both worlds) This may limit Gawn and Grundy around the ground but could also be effective in last qtrs as it would allow them to be fresher to jump all over them in the ruck and give us greater ruck ascendency. The overall defensive pressure systems we have in place might be enhanced especially if Gawn is allowed to spend more time behind the ball and set up the wall of doom. If things seem to clunky and don't work out we can always bring on the tactical sub which would preferably be a mid or small/fwd. Would the presence of another Tall Forward in BBB hinder our overall defensive pressure in F50 and allow the ball to come out to easy or create extra panic for other teams defending the marking presences of BBB, Fritta, JVR and Smith? Essentially an extra tall for a small forward/mid?

That is some spooky 💩.

Good luck doing that again for that price.

No and never will be a yes, lock thread and throw it in the ocean.

Would that suggest BBB is on his way back in and the Petty up forward experiment is dead in the water?

Maybe not would have got weeks.😂

That wasn't thuggery by Wheels that was as pure footballing hit that you will ever likely see, would stand up in today's AFL judicial system.

I think in the last 2 years everyone has circled Melbourne on the fixture list especially Filth, Ferals, Dogs and Lions.

I reckon they don't like us much atm.

It makes total sense @binman the proof will be in the pudding in a months time. Key is for the team to stay healthy.

I truely believe that our F50 entries are a by-product of the fact that the game plan the coaches want the players to follow is deep entries to not allow shallow F50 turnovers from leading forwards. Thus preventing quick rebounding transtion opportunities as our delivery isn't as precise as other teams delivery Inside 50. The better teams seem to exploit our tall marking backline if they are exposed to pace on quick transition shifts to their forwards outlets on more occasions i.e Collingwood, Port and Geelong last night. These beliefs indicate that the brains trust believe we are better off creating stoppages from getting the ball to ground as we are not designed to dominate team in marking inside F50.

I was upset last night with the loss but the wave of negativity is out of control. Do tend to agree it's beyond a joke how much we get drawn to play down their at Inbred park.

I was suprised that we dropped Tommo, would have to expect it was conditions related. If Petty has trained as a Forward all pre season why wouldn’t you keep him down there?

Well that's top 2 done and dusted, as much as the loss sucked dog appendage, lets be honest we aren't playing at this ground come finals time. Its all about finishing in the top 4 rather play at the G but Adelaide Oval should hold no fear. Port will be under truck loads of pressure. The last quarter fade out was very surprising hoping its an aberration to their credit Ferals were more desperate and smarter around the ground. Not throwing out all the toys from the cot just yet, plenty of footy to play but we don't play well in the wet that's for damn sure.
