  1. I get a feeling Clarry is going to play a big one this Saturday. Can see an incline in his energy/fitness, but just as importantly, I think that gammy hand of his is healing. At the very least, I believe he’s put the worst behind him for a long time.
  2. Sparrow - Twenty Pressure Acts The highest were ANB and Chandler with 22 (not exactly ā€œlimited involvementā€), but Sparrow is consistently high in this stat. I think Goodwin has him playing a pretty unglamorous role this year, and I’m sure the coaches aren’t as down on him as a few posters have been lately. Oh and also worth mentioning, the other player in the top four for pressure acts was Harrison Petty, also with 20.
  3. I’ve seen ā€œcapitulationā€ written a few times and don’t get it. Bombers threw all they could at us in those last minutes, as any decent team should.
  4. Srsly though, McVee, Turner, JvR, Windsor, Moniz-Wakefield and Kolt…. The future is bright.
  5. Moniz-Wakefield? [censored] yeah.
  6. Langdon? Huge.
  7. Judd McVee was huge.
  8. Best win of the year for me. Our young players are guns. There is a future.
  9. I kept my mouth shut. Proof was in the pudding. And by [censored], was that a tasty pudding.
  10. Let’s do this Demons. Pressure has been immense tonight. Keep it up.
  11. Where was Bowey’s pressure then??
  12. Come on man. Footy’s no fun with that attitude.
  13. That ā€œmarkā€ that Kos got the 50m penalty for was from an 8m kick. Sorry I know that was ages ago but I’m still fuming.

    It’s heartening to see Geelong finally have some success after their tragic downfall and gruelling three-week rebuild. But maybe that does tell you something. Do I dare keep hope alive?
  15. Wondering if the selectors googled Tom Fullarton then quickly realised they’d made a huge mistake….
  16. And right on cue, he’s just announced a five-year contract extension with Ch 7. šŸ˜’
  17. This is all speculation, spoken with a questionable degree of certainty.

    I can’t tell how serious this is, but stadium/airport food prices aka the captive audience tax, are one of the legitimate things people should be complaining about.
  19. It’s actually a golden opportunity to completely revise the commentary and adopt the UK Premier League’s one-commentator approach. Or bugger it, just crowd noise!
  20. You’d assume as much, given he’s one of two of our only ruck options.
  21. Will be a sad day when free-to-air footy goes. Particularly for the many who can’t afford to watch via any other means. Murdoch’s dunderhead kid will eventually have the entire competition in his grip, jack the prices up (even more) and the sport will eventually become accessible to only those who can afford it.
  22. Could place a mid who’s only job is to tickle the opposition ruck as he goes up for the tap.
  23. Good to see Max getting stuck into the Clearasil Kid.
  24. Beautiful day here. I can feel a smashing coming on, and I’m not normally one to say such things.
