Yeh this was handy when they used to do it, esp trying to work out arrival times for Balcony seats in the MCC.

Sorry if mentioned in here and missed, crowd prediction? Always hard to tell for these Thursday Night games

Yeh that is not a great look. Still think the simple solution is Gold Medals for those in the match day squad, Silver Medals for those who didnt play GF.

Really is fascinating.

Last time the media fawned over us was in the build up to the Brisbane game, they jinxed us. Happy to fly under the radar as much as possible

This paragraph especially Protect the head at all costs, obviously unless a head knock is as a result of a football act, but then it depends on how hard you get hit in that football act and if the player had any other alternatives, but also the player needs to take into account the potential to cause harm, but of course it shouldn't depend on the outcome of the opponent, unless of course it does result in a concussion, but even then it depends on the intent, but of course a player is entitled to attack the ball with good technique, but it doesn't matter if the opposition runs in head first like how every kid playing the game growing up gets taught not to do, but then of course it depends on the state of the game and the time of the year, it depends on whether or not we need to make an example out of someone, but then don't forget if they have had a clean record in the past and do charity work, but then obviously that can only matter once and never again because from now on that doesn't count, and it depends on the player, and the team they're on, but really it all boils down to protecting the head because we're seeing more players retire from concussion than ever before, but we will still let a guy play next week after punching someone in the face in the goal square because it wasn't hard enough to hurt them.

That's how I look at it, lots of IFs Petty's possible departure? BBB impending retirement? Jefferson's growth? Schache contract expiration? Joel Smith's future? I think it could be ok squad depth addition (not a Best 22 etc) if the dogs are fitting some of the bill. Not one to be super excited about but could play a role if called upon (or that would be the idea at least)

I know at times there is play acting and what not but an unexpected hit to that region can make someone fold in half sometimes But we've seen with Pendles etc they dont really care, an off the ball strike is at times less punishable than a clumsy football action

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

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

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

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?

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

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.

Media getting ready to get stuck in

Newspaper headline on Friday KOLT HERO

Would it have looked too odd if the Shrine was centered?

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.

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
