Does anyone know what happened to papley?

Yep, there's a number of things Brown could have said. "He might be embarrassed seeing himself on the footage" etc 

 

Brown has come up with such pearlers previously as “I don’t run on me face”.

He’s not the sharpest bloke going around. I don’t think he is a bad guy though 

I just watched Goody in his presser. I really love the bloke. Not sure he gets the love he deserves to be honest. Premiership coach and is just all team…could go on to be one of the absolute greats in my opinion.

We need to celebrate Goody more!!!!

Mitch has done well at Brisbane but speak to Rohan Bail about him 

Don’t know that story DS…I’ve obviously missed one there. I like Rohan. He was a real tryer for us

I've always felt like Dayne Zorko is a [censored]. I suppose this confirms it.

They're copping heat already online for "faux toughness", which is very accurate. Zorko, Mathieson, Robinson, all pretty rubbish fellows.

Zorko got caught stone cold holding the ball by Langdon in the first quarter and reacted by grabbing Langdon's hair and putting him in a headlock. [censored].

I might be unique in this opinion but I’ve got respect for mitch robinson. Has always played hard, lived on the edge and got the best out of himself. Called is bruise free when we were.

Zorko has always been a crap bloke. Look at his run ins with Touk Miller. He is the worst captain in the AFL by a mile. They will never win a premiership with him as captain

Agree 

You still upset about our midfield selection this week…surely you think Harmes, Sparrow and Viney should go out?

How massive were Jackson and Rivers in their 50th matches?!

Rivers was unbelievable…that’s one of the best games he’s ever played imo

Zorko is my new poster boy of hate!!

Can’t believe this is new to you SPC. He is such a [censored] bloke

Zorko is a disgraceful human being and a pathetic captain. Eat [censored] and enjoy not winning a flag you [censored].  

Worst Captain in the AFL…such an easy guy to bait. Loved Steven May owning him after the siren

Back to Sparrow, Harmes, Viney all being in the same midfield group. The stuff of horrors.

 

Just like in the GF...really horrific

I can’t come to grips with Harmes playing the whole game last Sunday and then being called up for Friday.

I wonder if Goody has someone else in mind to tag Neale and then brings in the fresh Bedford, or Chandler, who didn’t play last weekend.

Think it might be Sparrow that goes to Neale

Brown's had 1 handball, 0 kicks, 0 marks.

If that was Weid his thread would have another 8 pages by now.

 

I love BB but ffs the one hand up stuff in a marking contest is not good enough 

Embarrassing for the AFL

I just want a win. The rest is fugazi.

Agreed. Saturday night is the time when we turn it on and remind everyone what we are…the best team in the comp. I’d rather beat Carlton with Cripps playing. Oliver>Cripps

This will be the rebirth of dirty bumps. 

No, the Willie Rioli one was the rebirth of the dirty bumps which is exactly why Cripps Defence are referring to it. It's a good precedent for him to get off imo

I wonder if that is to calm the masses and the media.

Yes, I think that is the strategy. The group seem to have bunkered down into a - let's win this premiership mindset...it's time to focus on footy

Does anyone know if Jake Lever will be good to go for Friday. Rolled the ankle twice in the Freo game and I think he did it the week before also. He is a vital cog

Just now, Lord Nev said:

 

It was right in front of where we were sitting and I don’t think the footage does how hard he went at the ball the justice it deserves…it was reckless!

Viney has taken his game to another level this year. He might be up there in the Bluey imo.

I love the bloke

He is not getting huge numbers but Tommy Sparrow is bringing some serious physicality to the team. Great signs for him!

Another young bloke JJ just seems to make the right decision and play such high percentage football. 
I am a big fan of both!

Jake Melksham continuing his surprise resurgence. Chased hard and provided a solid target on the lead. Probably should've finished with 2-3 goals 

Liking his game at the moment. Adds a different element to our forward line.

He is playing a very disciplined role…respect! If he keeps playing his role he will stay in the team. I’m pleased for him

A Boo Ban?

Jesus the people of WA are special. 

I am from WA and can confirm I am attending the game tonight and will not boo Jacko

You’d imagine all clubs do high-pressure match sims, right?

I don’t imagine that they always do it on a 6 day break. To me it says that maybe we are stepping into a game honing phase and are no longer in a loading phase.

I could be totally wrong though and don’t claim to be an expert on the matter

Hopefully they don't think it will all just happen - it is going to take an big lift in defensive pressure to be any chance 

The short bit of footage the club released from training showed some reasonably high pressure match simulation. Part of me thinks this is the week we see a real step up…hope I am correct

Melksham has been very good. We are dominating. Just need to slow up their movements forward

Love him in the side

Totally agree. He adds some mongrel and has such a good football brain
