Tom bring a bit enthusiastic with a scoop. the Old Tom !!! if Daisy plays on it will be a "win it for Daisy "" campaign" How big will that be for the team ! it's our turn to salute in the AFLW esp if our male heroes triumph. Go Dees

See my post in a few posts on

Spot on see my post later on Page3.

Looking at Daniel 's highlights There's no doubt he looks like Jeremy McGovern clone, His delightfully casual but so cool and composed marking plus peeling off with an elite disposal without any delay have got Gov written all over him. I loved Harrison Perry's highlights from Draft Day 1 and have had to be patient up to now for Harry to get his chance. He has improved with every game so far and looks every bit as good as I hoped Have earmarked Petty as a KPD since then. Daniel Turner looks like another quick learner and even the slightly overweight bit is Jeremy Gov to a tee. Looks a natural and if I was Marty Hore my chsnce is well under threat. Also he is 194cm now taller than listed apparently. Plays and marks tall looking at the highlights. Welcome to our new Defender to join our elite group already developing . Will also allow Declase to play mid /wing maybe or up forward as a pinch hitter. Lot to like about these 2 selections and JT May have nailed another 2 gems from his kitbag. Won't die wondering I dont think.

That's not the Blockbuster game in 2020 that we get each 2 years now. That's why we retained the 2 big games Anzac Eve and QB again. Might be better if we have a game just low key and get a big QB next year and the split means that we have the blockbusters one per year and finances are more stable each year.

Backward not forward !!! The Bug Freeze blockbuster.

My G.d how much rubbish in about 2?paras of dribble. Tslk about a doubting Thomas and negative Nellie. All you have done is brought up doubts about Tommy snd his agility ( most are laughable) and questioned his magnificent pre season effort great clubmanship and NEAR 2018 form in leading our attack the fourth best in the AFL to date. Suggest you go back and visit the replay and get some rose coloured glasses on!! This forward line is still a work in progress but is gaining potential and needs BBB or Sam to get their form going and clunk some marks. zBack to the drawing board Young blood !

M9 wrong on 2 counts Weid 2 grabbed the mark just before 1/4 time vs Cats. Is consistently 2 grabbing and not always retaining the ball. And BBB has 4 year contract so he's not going any where. He only needs a run at it also to change fortunes. Between the 2 we should come up with a very useful KP Full forward in the second half if the season.

No it's not a Public Holiday in Brisbane on Monday 14 th.

And it's not a Public Holiday in Brisbane either.

Sorry 1998 after Semi final loss to Demons.

Stan Alves 1988 after semi final

Agree with Riv reckon Jake may be but if Trac gets the nod no worries.

That doesn't mean he has to pick the side he doesn't think is best. Its an in form side of well deserved players.

Robbie never picked a ball up off the ground but boy he could mark for someone his size.

Dr you are not a very smart Dr Waiting a week nearly to get tested and going here and there in that time is not smart. Thsts why there are 300 exposure sites Should have got tested on the 24 or 25 th. (?And isolated at home till a result.)

Perhaps they ( Saints ) don't always have the longest run at the top to grab their chance but they are masters of choking in Finals with 3/4 time leads albeit small ones. We have got to make the best of our opportunities and this season is an ideal start for a Top 2 or Top4 spot. Win the qualifying Final vs a if side at the G and next 2 are it home where this year we seem to be playing consistent tough and committed team footy.

Early days yet Durango but you are in the money. Trent has looked a ready made half back since about the fifth minute of his first game in the first quarter vs Carlton in 2020. Really came of age when he starred vs GWS and kicked his first goals ( second one left foot jag a match winner ) in Round 17 last year. And the real upside we got him at Pick 32 and Young was in the first dozen. I just have a sneaky suspicion he is future Captaincy material for our Club. Fine young footballer and humble knowledgeable human being to boot.

All that study and you waste a post Dr. msybe need to do a post grad course on MSDraft for potential finalist / flag hopeful !!'

Lever hardly does Rivers is our third option and ha mixes it up a bit but runs his full distance so gets at least 70//80m out from goal.

I would have Rivers as Hibbo might have to mind McStay for a while if we want Jake to keep intercepting.

Like Hunt to wing and Locky to mind the smalls of the Lions. We must start giving some players an opportunity in case we get form or injury worries down the track. This is if we need a replacement not experimenting or tampering with a winning team.

Agree he has come back from a poor 2019 to a very serviceable 2020 plus is fitting in beautifully with all the defenders this year. For his age he is nearly back to his AA form snd disposal agsin back to best . At least another year if he wants it IMO.

Really W5 You don't rate him that highly Well perhaps you should stop and think and appreciate his superb skills and consistency often when we were beaten with a low score. He would usually kick goals even in this scenario and he has been doing it till Goody thank G.d realised he was irreplaceable up forward. He has been our most consistent forward and is not just a down hill skier. Far from it. What an insult to his style of play. Have a look at his body strength and physique and that's why he generally uses his brains and marking skills to get goals. Stringer and De Goey are beasts more like Trac and have other attributes to get themselves a goal. I'd rather Bailey as he is hard to man up on being good overhead and on the ground also. The only question is sometimes he can miss the occasional set shot. Our forward line is a mixture of all types and I am now wondering what you think of Charlie Spargo? Indeed I am also a bit worried how you rated the late great Robbie Flower as he didn't create a goal from brute strength or a massive contest Have a look at Bayleys game in the last half of our win vs GWS at the Gabba last Season and see how he wore down Nick Haynes to help us win. Not brute strength in body but in the mind!! Bayley I M O is in his own way is an A grader how he crafts goals when many others haven't got as much skill as him in his little finger.

Did we have a say in it? I'd say not. If it was the arrogance in this scenario it was our big heads thinking we were playing some lowly teams and coupled with the rain and wind which we couldn't cope with turned out yo be a gigantic disaster.
