Minimal impact on joints so it’ll be fine.

Free kick goals are the worst by a mile. They should get the ARC to review them in F50 from now on to make sure it’s right. Anything outside 50, fair enough I’ll accept the decision as little impact. Think about the 2 BS 50s we got against the Swans in the EF before you reply back and think about how that changed the result. It drives fans nuts especially when it’s proven wrong on the replay.

Yep I’m with you on this. I’ll default to following a Victorian based team but will feel dirty getting behind Geelong.

Oh the irony.

Henney is Sydney’s Trac when it comes to goalkicking

And that’s how you ruin a final. Well done umps.

The difference is that both teams move the ball like lightening and through the corridor. So you can setup for the rebound. When we come in from the wing, kicking it to the fat side will almost certainly result in an opposition score if it’s turned over. We also don’t have the kickers that can deliver it accurately.

Umpiring this Q has been woeful.

Yep they are very well balanced. Their pressure game is best in the comp. The list is very young. Don’t want to say the D word yet but we are entering a Federer, Nadal and Joker like era of footy.

Glad Reid is having a good game against a team other than the Dees.

Crisp is such a gun.

Franklin would have got about 10 frees against MFC.

Didn’t happen to the Cats. They’ll be fine. Won’t do much without a major uplift in preseason. Will get the best pick In the comp , which doesn’t hurt.

The only thing that can top this off is a hammy to Duckwood.

My highlight tonight was getting off the plane with Ricky Ponting. Great fella!

The fact that we lost to this mob makes this game unenjoyable. We should be here tonight.

At face value, I think Buckley would be the worst choice. He is probably too defensively orientated which would reinforce our slow ball movement issues.

Serious? Where did this happen?

Is it that they are still in hunt for a flag? Otherwise why all the secrecy - it’s open season is it not?

100%. Our 2nd half was quite brutal in comparison and even so when the draw is looked at in its totality. What's a bet the eventual winner this year will not be subject to the same draw as we were.

If they mean the first 10 rounds then it has to be said. It’s only logical for many to think our 10-0 was a bunch of soft kills.

It has been said a gazillion times.

Kozzy had some special games kicking bags of goals and doing some great pressure acts. But equally would go missing in large parts of games for weeks on end. I recall countless discussions in game day threads this year where many were calling for him to be dropped not for a lack of scoring goals but not doing the simple effort based defensive work. Don’t have to agree with me, but that is how I see it.

He is a great tackler but it has come back a fair bit in comparison to last year. It’s really a team issue more so than just Kozzy but he has a a lot to do with it. For a small forward who is meant to impact both offensively and defensively this is quite alarming and it’s hard to say whether it’s mindset, positioning, effort or something else. Still, I don’t want to lose him - for the record. But we would be well compensated if he does chose to go.
