Oliver - Shouldn't have played. Clearly hampered by the hand, couldn't pick up the ball, couldn't grab an opponent, it was like trying to play with one arm. Hopefully it gets sorted during the break and he's back to his best soon.

Some quality Kolt content on Jack Viney's Instagram story today.

Gee the peanut gallery will be in overdrive if Oliver is a late out.

Feel for Koz, it's like his brain went from "smother the ball" to "clean him up" to "ah actually no I can't do that anymore" which is where you see him push him off right at the end of the collision. Looks like he's trying but has strong Byron instincts he's trying to overcome. I don't think the AFL can let him escape without a week at the moment unfortunately.

Agree with your assessment of most accurate. AFLPA MVP is a worthless popularity contest, Brownlow is a biased AF midfielders award.

I could watch that all day. An all time smother. love how everyone goes straight to Sparrow and not Trac.

Apologies if this has already been discussed at length, I haven't had a chance to read through this thread, but I just saw Rivers got a fine for a sling tackle. Am I the only one (apart from Tom McDonald) who thought Rozee threw himself on the deck trying to milk the free?

Does anyone know our recent record without May in the side? I have a mate who always tells me "No May no Melbourne" and has loaded up on Port. I want to know if there's any truth to it.

Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer, now I is one?

When I was traveling through the States, once the locals hear you are from Tasmania they invariably want to talk about the Devil. I would tell them you had to pay an separate insurance premium to cover your home against a Tassie Devil spinning through it Taz style. It was believed around 90% of the time, so this comes as no surprise.

Bought a digital membership this arvo so I could watch. Think it gets sent in the post!! "facepalm". Anyone know if you can get the voucher code emailed to you?

I was at a local footy grand final yesterday and couldn't watch, haven't had a chance to watch the replay. To save me wading through pages of content can someone please let me know how D Turner went? Did Smith play forward or back?

It staggers me how criminally underrated Oliver still is by opposition supporters.

Jack Viney what a man. After the game when the boys were about to head off the ground he grabbed Petracca, Salem and Hunter and made them run nto the complete opposite side of the ground to give out a few high 5s to the punters over there. Made some kids very happy indeed!

Wouldn't get a kite airborne down here at the moment, hope it stays that way.

I'm guilty of thinking every game of his was going to be like his round 1 performance against the dogs.

(This probably has its own thread somewhere) I hate to say it but I'm really not enjoying the Gawn Grundy setup. Both are average forwards at best, so when one is in the ruck, you have a pretty useless player to stick somewhere. Gawn's impact on games has gone through the floor, and I don't think Grundy has picked up the slack. I don't think the team or either player is best served by having two specialist rucks in the team. Doubt Grundy will ever be dropped, but I'd love to see JVR pinch hitting and having Max playing the same ruck minutes as he always has. Feel like he's a wasted resource at the moment. Just my opinion.

Thommo! Don't have to be dead to be stiff! Thought he was fantastic last week.

Coach 1: Viney 5, May 4, Crisp 3, Fritsch 2, Mitchell 1 Coach 2 Viney 5, Salem 4, May 3, Gawn 2, Petracca 1 Or something like that. Viney 5,5 May 4,3 Salem 4,0 Crisp 3,0 Gawn 2,0 Fritsch 2,0 Mitchell 1,0 Petracca 1,0

Suspect umpiring in the last. Petracca in the back, Viney not in the back, Brayshaw being hung onto when they got that last clearance. Almost like they wanted it to go down to the wire. Shouldn't have been that close anyway. Good win!

Can anyone remember the last time we went into a game not as the bookies favourite? Imagine saying that sentence to your 2013 self.

That hack kick out of the pack in defence has cost us about 6 goals in the last two weeks.

Gawn + Grundy vs Darcy + Jackson. Looking forward to this

How does the saying go? You don't use a Ferrari to plough a field? Love Salem straight in.
