Oh boy when Grundy is taking contested marks. you know it’s not your night.

It’s coming.

The race is on with Carlton bs WC

I reckon it’ll be mentioned at the huddle. Go for the kill.

Norf dictating play. Not happy that we are letting them

Did just hear a Van Bullen?

I reckon we had a word to the afl re umpires last week.

Wow that double 50 is bull [censored]. I’d be fuming.

How do the Roos go from playing decent footy to this? It’s night and day.

Looks like ankle point left of where it should be. Bad luck to Norf but equally for us as this is a momentum killer.

Good starting intensity

We have a top 5 pick from Freo. Take that to the bank.

Three things guaranteed tonight 1. Cold 2. poor umpiring against us. Predicting at least 3-4 gifted goals. 3. Slow start and no pressure once again. Coming off a 5 day break is a danger game against any opposition.

I reckon Adelaide are a chance to knock off the Pies and if we put Norf to the sword we should take our rightful seat on the throne.

Is it me or the umps torching Port?

Perhaps but can’t see them finishing top 4.

Saints are not top 4 material.

A slight tangent to the current discussion. But we play a total of 8 interstate trips compared to Geelong 6, Collingwood 6, Carlton 6. The difference boils down to : 1. Sold game to NT - against GWS 2. Norf game in Hobart. I dont mind the game in the NT, we get some cash; its not too hot and humid either. But the fact that the others only have 6 trips is total BS - im convinced this has been lobbied and forms part of the fixture criteria, which again makes the whole fixture biased for certain teams.

Wouldn’t happen as you don’t want to mess with form going into finals as it has the potential to backfire. But I get your point and I would hate my team to do that…. It’s akin to cheating in my book.

What about using the picks to chase a mid 20s established gun? Sam Taylor from GWS would be a great get for Freo’s 1st and our F2. Unlikely to happen but the kids a AA FB lock at 23 and will slot in nicely with May and Lever and allow Petty to really develop his forward craft.

Sounds like Matt Rowell. For the amount this guy was touted as the next big thing he hasn’t really lived up to the hype. He’s no flop and has missed a lot of footy but isn’t bashing the door down.

I don’t think it’s that clear cut. 2-3 first rounders will do much to accelerate a rebuild and get bottom dwellers into Finals 1-2 years quicker. I think Hawks will take the trade. But I won’t be loosing sleep if the didn’t. Our current draft hand will do us just fine as well.

If there’s a chance he could be the next Dusty he’ll if he was 90% of Dusty, you’d do it in a heart beat. Don’t even need to think about it.

Forget about the roof did I read they are paying 750M for a 25K stadium? I mean that’s a bit of rip off… why wouldn’t you build something of the size of Adelaide Oval or something akin to Optus oval? It won’t cater for future generations.

They have an extra day recovery and so will have a game plan that tries to maximize this advantage. If they start anything like West Coast and get a sniff, itll be a worrying sign. Team will feel disappointed not to give one of their greats in Goldstein a memorable 300 milestone so expect a response. I hope we pull our finger out and pants them 8-1 goals in the opening quarter and then contain the game from there. If it is left to the last quarter id say we are a 50-50 chance.
