58er

Billing's not an outside runner Where is that evidence? He hardly ever plays on the ball for Saints. Is a half forward who has underperformed IMO on theAFL stage. What memory Bllings leaves is a half forward marking 40m out and missing the goals. Is Not a Shea Bolton type player who is what we are talking about as an outside runner to give us complete chance of utilising our ruck and inside bulls class and dominance. Cerra would fit the bill nicely I MO as long as he hits thescoreboard. ( Probably wouldn't fit him in our salary cap unfortunately)

Why try inventing when we have already used JJ Harmes and Sparrow plus cameos from Kossie . Let the players shine in their best positions and when Jack returns the selectors will make their intents public.

Why ? they have had their figures publicised throughout this season in many forums and that figure absolutely reflects the truth. However I believe It resembles their over confidence ( maybe old arrogance) in their supporters expectations for 2021. I think whoever coaches them should expect genuinely to be above 9th no matter what in 2022.

We all remember what happened the last time at Optus Stadium that Joel Smith was preferred in the backline to another player after very limited games in the AFL as preparation for that game! No visible improvement to any form at AFL standard since. Now as a forward it might be worth a gamble!!!

AWST (not AEST !!!)

How big should the GrandxFinsl crowd be tipped at 60 or 70 or 75 or 85,000 At the MCG ??? phillip from Brisbane 57 year member

AFL website in the top section Round Centre with all the results. Move the options to News and Video and the 4 quarters are divided up separately.. Fox also have it on 504 on Thursday some time. Check the program.

Didn't mention any thing about playing at Geelong. If they end up 2nd and we are 3.Rd then we play either at GMBHA or the G BUT YOU wrongly asserted we could play the next week in WA at Optus which we can't as we would be the higher up team. AFL are very cognisant re erosion of rights of teams in any ground changes etc.

A wonderful player and person from our glory days. There are a number now that we still can make their memories so much more cherished in their later years. R.I.P. No 4 John Lord.

Wrong If we finish 6th we play 7th at home (ie Victoria) You are bringing yourself insane by wrong details. Cool a bit!!

Round22.

It's not the games but perhaps the travel but a light week can make the players more ball hungry.

No wonder we are third on the ladder and one of the real chances for the flag for the first time in 21 years. If it doesn't happen this year we have the list at such a stage that any time within the next 5 years it could be just as possible.

If we win( or when we win) the 23 plus all the balance of players and coaches and FD and Board will all be legends!! Then the status can be apportioned in sounder and saner times!!!

Surely Weid rucking and forward is a better like for like.

Can't play WC in WA as we are higher up. Thought you would know Finals grounds location conditions of higher side with home advantage.

It surely is Kennett curse like the Geelong /Hawks on was a decade ago.

Hey can't be proven as this years Hawks performances have been all over the shop right up there with the most unreliable in the AFL. Tomorrow night the Hawks could be on the bottom with one wing holding onto the wooden spoon!!!

About as shameful as the Melb board that sacked Norm. Hawks won't have 57 years to wait and It is imperitive that we win a flag before Hawkswin their next now.

That was CAIRNS silly!!!

What did happen???

Fritsch could get injured and our best forward is out for the season Thst made you happy??

It's never too late !!! 2nd Ruck and forward pocket trial for Sam should have been done for this game. Maybe Sam can be the Med sub!!

Should have been given a rest and Sam an opportunity to shine in the second Ruck and forward role. Clearly Sam a different player when not minded by one defender and is quite creative and skilful with handball etc. Agsin Goody misses a trick and timing is the key. Also go along with other posters who said CHB trial for Sam would be good. Small defenders role ( assuming Bowey plays forward) is still a worry.

Because we play Docklands well Lookat our past 5 years results OD!!
