The last 2 games he has wracked up a total of 8 disposals which is a bit of a concern. 

Last year in an injury interrupted season he kicked a sensational 12.1, whilst its unrealistic to continue along these lines he is currently 1.5 so i am not sure whether it is confidence or in his body. 

Whilst Petty is more mobile than BBB and I get they want to get minutes into him, BBB troubled the scoreboard more.  An interesting conundrum - especially with Disco's performance the other day and Shane getting onto the park.
 

If Bulldogs pay for a fair chunk it may be worth considering for depth once BBB goes.

Not a match day squad addition - So he'd probably go somewhere he gets a guaranteed game

That's an impressive stat, there i am bemoaning goals at the death of each quarter too

Same deal for me. 

Will likely give up and head straight to Level 4 though. 

If i cant secure Seating on 2 or 3 I just go down and stand in one of the terraces at the back of Level 1, do enjoy leaning against the railing with a tin in my hand ha

Updated expected GA areas for Wednesday:

Ponsford: None

Olympic: None

Shane Warne: Q1-Q12 rows P-DD

AFL Reserve: Q15 1/2-Q22 rows U-DD, Q23-Q28 rows K-DD (Expect this to be opened up to public on the night)

MCC walk up areas: Usual level 1, 2 and 3 areas as well as as Q37-Q48 rows DD-MM (first time Anzac eve has had potential level 4 walkup in the MCC since 2017)

Thanks for the update. Never know what time to get there to try snap a Seat on Level 3 MCC. Mate bailed on me so will be a Nigel, he's a tigers fan so maybe i am better off alone?

Glad to see the flags added - that's new isnt it?

Reminds me, still want to get my 2021 one signed by May and Kozzie and framed, beautiful top

Tholstrup has to get another game, he was great and really hope we keep him on for a bit.

Has to be the sub at a minimum

Assume they'll try say it was low impact and not medium impact?

When we appealed for Kozzie the tribunal concluded that the contact had the potential to cause injury, surely the same logic should apply for a dangerous tackle?

Much easier to dominate a quarter when the opposition know they’ve won the game. Just saying. 

I’d like to think they got to our level of fatigue aha. Junk time goals helping the % at least

Haha the old walk and type! Doing it right now and about to walk into a tree.

Hopefully I walk into the yarra after that performance. At least stress free weekend 

Not sure if it was 3 games in 12 days or bringing too many sore bodies in but still slightly funny the media have wrote us off in pre season and then suddenly got back on us and we produce that filth. 
 

oh well; not sure the worst score line given the first 3 quarters.

2-2 in the Man Utd v Liverpool match at Old Trafford. Well played @roy11 your boys hung in there, absorbed our pressure early and deserved a point, Mainoo's goal was worthy of a winner. 

And so it does put somewhat of a dent in Liverpool's title challenge but it's still anyone's race. Arsenal with the slight advantage on top and +9 ahead on goal difference. Liverpool 2nd and Man City a point behind in 3rd. I think the happiest will be City now who will likely win out from here and with the form Arsenal are in I can see them knocking over most of their challenges in the coming weeks.

But it's not over till that final ball is kicked! 

Liverpool should sell all their assets and fold tbh.

Knocked out of the fa cup by us AND dropped points in the league against us.

We are absolute cabbage. 

Worth rolling the dice at the tribunal - but 1 game seems about right in the current scheme of things of how 2024 being adjudicated.

Dees after 4 games should again have a few players up in the votes. I’ll try to update weekly or periodic.  
 

v Swans 

Likely no Dees players get votes 

only JV7 could be considered for a vote 

2 goals, 30 disposals, 7 tackles, seeing we lost it may not be as high on the list but should at least get 1 vote hopefully. Something like the below

3 - Heeney
2 - Grundy
1 - Viney

On Billing’s whilst his three misses were frustrating they could easily have him with 3 goals to go with his 14 possessions. The reason I think he should be ommitted is the amount of missed tackles he had. 

Can you get away with having a player who won't stick all his tackles if he's bringing other positives to the team? Do we have enough bulls to cover that or is it all hands on deck?

Reckon any experts want to revisit their predictions in early April??

I remember andy Maher listing his 6 locks for finals. we weren’t included and now we are $6.50 to win the flag 

It's a great time of year, before the season started David King said we'd miss the top 8 and then after a good pre-season game changed his tune and i think he said top 4.

can't see sideshow bob being dropped

he's in form, the side is playing well, and he has a bye coming up after the bears match-up

Ive seen people on social media calling for him to be dropped. Seemingly forgotten the Port game so soon. 

Even with his minimal involvement against Adelaide he helped the team.

Body positioning helped a few team mates clutch marks, something that Schache can't seem to bring to the table. 

Also had a rundown tackle in the F50! 

Obviously the optics of it not great, but overall (not this specific instance) still find it funny you can punch a bloke in the stomach off the ball and get a lesser punishment than a clumsy football action.

Loved:

• The improvement of our second tier/new draftee players. Chin played a blinder last night. Love Juddy McVee; Blake Howes and Caleb Windsor have only played how many games?
• Trac seems to always get a kick away with 2-3 opponents hanging off him. So strong, always holds his feet.
• Spaz's smother in the forward line
• Roo's one handed contested mark holding off his opponent. Bloke turns 21 the week after next. Ridiculous.
• Fritta and Roo's kicking for goal. Put the glasses down, they just don't miss.
• TMac reborn in the backline, and fit and firing.
• Maysie's/Ricky's interface marking. I've got to stop yelling "punch it" at the telly.
• Clarry's turnover and hit up kick to Fritta in the 2nd.

Liked:

• Trac's goal after Spaz's smother

Hated

• The umpiring.
• The booing. What a bunch of morons.

Speaking of, Rick had a great punch last night, gave it some real violence. 

we'll be reading shortly that the sickness has a strong case of Jack Viney

they really didn't

Funny trade looking back at it.

We sent out Pick 10, 2018 First Round and 2018 Fourth Round and in return we got Jake Lever, Pick 35 and 2018 Third Round Pick.

With Pick 35 we chose Harrison Petty.

IIRC Adelaide used those picks for Bryce Gibbs  which didn't exactly work wonders for them, whereas Petty/Lever helped us win a flag and now they're going to need to offer us some decent picks if they want to get Petty.
 

He won't get it this week - and i assume the flashier players will get nominated first.

But Howes and the Duke will get nominated after prolonged quality (but maybe not flashy)- spells
