Here's a man with great taste in music.

I thought the panel asked him some good and valid questions, to which he gave almost no answers. We have no more information than we did before he came on the show. Round 8 possible return is all I got out of it.

Not sure if I heard correctly, and not sure if this is the right thread so apologies if this is incorrect information in the incorrect thread. But I think Jack Viney is about to be on talking footy on 7Mate if anyone is interested.

Did you like how many of them were saying “this is their grand final”? Pack of absolute flogs.

Adelaide just did a Melbourne. Absolutely dominated, 5 behinds. Sydney, 1 inside 50, 1 goal.

Only demons supporters would lament the fact their new sponsor produced blended whisky rather than single malt. Hilarious.

Don't mind that idea of sending Melksham back, although i'm not sure the FD see Frost as a tall defender only. With his speed and agility, he can play on smalls too. I believe he is the fastest on our list in a straight line, faster even than Hunt. He is incredibly frustrating to watch, he has all of the attributes to make him a gun footballer: size, speed, strength, agility, but he's just not a natural footballer so has to really work hard on knowing what to do. Then of course there's his disposal. Really hope he gets it together one day.

I have two middle fingers, one to raise right in the face both of the Tigers I will be watching with.

I'm a Lever fan but if we play him one out against Dusty, good grief. What is left of his confidence will be in the dirt on the 'G by quarter time.

I'd almost put the Hawks game last year in there too. Should have won that one.

Sure was. I remember it well, it was such a Melbourne game to lose that I put money on Essendon plus Gold Coasst to beat Freo in Freo (that was when Freo lost the opening ten rounds or something like that). $32 to 1. Find it is the best was to guard against the gutted feeling of losing those ones we should most definitely win $$$$$

I love Gawny. Very rarely does he wheel out the cliches or return to his 'safe topics' as most players do. He has personality and isn't afraid to have a bit of a laugh. I find it very refreshing. In terms of leadership, I can't stress enough how much I think we are missing Viney. Imagine we get a bit in front, then the other team kicks a couple of goals. All of the opposition players would be very vocal, saying things like "we know they're soft boys, mentally weak". All opposition teams believe (and rightly so) they are never out of it when playing us. At the moment, which of our players would you think would take exception to that and really take things up a notch? Jones? Maybe Oliver? Now imagine Viney is in there. For starters, I'm not sure many people would say anything like that within earshot of him, plus, comments like that are likely to make him go into kill mode. We just need him back, soooo badly. If he can get his foot right and get a decent run at it I think he'll get to a whole new level.

Good point, and one easily forgotten among the debacle of the second half. At one point in the second quarter, we had 10 inside 50s for 3 behinds, while they had 5 inside 50s for 4 goals. Improved forward efficiency would have had us well up at half time and who knows what could have happened. As for the second half, I am at a loss to explain it.

What’s the wind doing over there?

I’ve just put on 3 separate bets with mates, so I’ll either be he proud owner of 2 cartons of little creatures pale ale and a bottle of Sailor Jerry or I’ll be explaining to the missus what the $200 credit card transaction at the bottle-o is. C’mon dees.

As much as I'd like to see us in the flesh I'm glad we aren't playing down here too. Because we always lose.

Ha unfortunately work is getting in the way of those sorts of activities. In other news I've turned off the TV and am staring at the wall and it is providing more entertainment than the footy.

Are they cursing Blundstone Arena and Tasmania in general like this page does when we lose to North down here?

Not sure we'd get the events/attendances to make it work.

For anyone who's interested I can confirm it is a horrible night in Hobart, had to pedal my bike down the hills to get to work otherwise I would have been blown back up them. Just sitting here listing to the rain belting down on the roof. Shame because yesterday was perfect weather for footy. Anyhow, should make for an already terrible game to be even worse. Just need north to get up to get my multi home.

That was a terrible game. Adelaide's inability to defend Collingwood when they brought the ball inside with quick hands was appalling. Still don't rate Collingwood based on that, Adelaide were simply horrible.

Brayshaw in and dominates, cements his spot in the best 22 and rapidly becomes one of the best young players in the Comp. The rest of the competition starts to cry bloody murder that brayshaw, Oliver, Petracca and hogan are in the same side. That’s not too much of a stretch is it?

Almost embarrassing having those three in the same team.

No mention of giving baths to his first two opponents, and Brown getting gifts. Probably outmarked by Brown once from memory.
