If we're being honest with ourselves, we haven't capitalized on Gawn's tap dominance for quite some time. Probably not since 2018. Gawn is more valuable around the ground than he is at stoppages at the moment. Which is why I'd like to see him spend more time at FF while BB and Weed are out.

I'm sure Clarry will resign, his bond with blokes like Petracca and Salem is very obvious. It's normal for players and/or their management to draw out this part of the process. They will execute when they feel they have the leverage required. I'm more curious about how some of you are qualifying these opinions that Clarry isn't happy with club, coach etc.

I reckon we missed even easier ones though

Hunt had a shocker but I'd like to see him again before he's dropped. Harmes goes, the rest did enough In: Viney Out: Harmes

No excuses at all! Except for the deadly global pandemic, of course.

Like Seinfeld, here is a fantastic example of a thread about nothing. People starting to treat DL like Facebook more and more by the day.

Is it just me that expects this of every single player on our list though? Should be our baseline really. All the best JJ and go Dee's!!

Of course it is, but we never miss a good opportunity to take a pot shot at our dear club around here

good interview. gee he's impressive, easily one of the most important gets for us lately. far more important than bringing in any 1 player.

We didn't put a full strength side on the park. I would be slightly worried if we did, but we didn't. Anyone who thinks the playing group isn't passionate about winning is kidding themselves. Sometimes your just beaten by a better team on the day, there's no need to make assumptions about the groups intent. Especially in a pre-season game where the actual objective is just to get some game time in while not incurring serious injuries.

More meaningless drivel which speculates that our captain and player's essentially don't care about winning games of footy. Righto. It was a pre season game with a lot of our best players out. Seriously give me a break. This sort of shallow and meaningless commentary is designed to do nothing but provoke people like us into clicking a link for revenue. Where was the commentary on our positive culture after we won a game vs a basically full strength Richmond side? * crickets * I'm not saying our club hasn't got a lot of improvements to make, but these throwaway comments from washed up players desperately trying to retain some form of employment are just rubbish in the end.

Ahh the old doomsday thread following a loss Here we go again indeed

Its less to do with Majak being good, and more to do with the fact we need coverage for BB and weid while they are injured. Recent history tells us we cannot rely on Tmac to carry the forward line. Having Majak available is prudent.

Fair? In comparison its quite a lofty expectation for someone who's assesses a player as good off the back of finishing 11th in the BNF 4 years ago lol

Loving the positivity here SWYL!! I knew you weren't all doom and gloom after all

We'd be officially drowning if any of several key position players went down after Weed and BB, and some here are saying no to a life raft. Very strange. Can't really think of a better option to address our recent need for KP backup. Good move.

This is absolute nonsense ... by "quite a way"

Couldn't care less. All I know is I don't have to listen to his commentary this year and for that I couldn't be happier.

And he's gone. What a fantastic day for footy. Good riddance

I've been a huge critic of Tom's last few seasons, but I'd be absolutely wrapt if he rose from the ashes in 2021. By the look of BB's knee, it looks like we really need Tmac circa 2018 back again.

I find the most frustrating thing about Kane's nonsense comments is the fact they get a new thread here every time he opens his mouth. A nothing comment, with nothing to discuss further. Round 1 can't come soon enough.

Why can't it get better? Why is he different to the multitude of AFL players who have had a history of knee issues that get on the park every week?

At any given point, this will exclude more than half the list.

Trump lost man, its time to move on with your life ...
