i hope this doesn't seep into Trac's ego and cause him to lose his new found selflessness. i was quite happy with Bont being the brownlow favourite and ahead in the coaches votes just as i was happy with being 3rd on the ladder. We are still a bit immature when it comes to publicity and expectation. The 3rd quarter against the Suns was all to telling with the Hollywood handballs and low percentage decision making. Individual accolades dont win you GF's and are best left until after seasons end. Would be just as happy for the Coaches votes to be sealed in the same vault as the brownlow counting only to be opened up in the lead up to the GF.

I think most people will see it that way too. Unless of course if the CMO is a cats supporter. would be interesting if we play the cats 2 weeks in a row though (rd23 and QF) don’t see that all too often.

I undo about that. I reckon they will drop at least one of those games. Not easy being hunted every week like we were. You see the diff yesterday when opposition teams are not 100% on and committed.

I know this is a post game thread but with this performance Dew is surely going to come under the spot light and I wouldn’t be surprised of another player exodus. I reckon we prey on some of their more experienced talent where they may want to experience success and finals in place of $$$ I know they are after leadership and would not want to part way with someone like Touk but he would be such an asset to our midfield brigade. I’d take him over Maynard and another forward option. Anybody know his contract situation?

If lions and swans lose today then top4 is all but a certainty. Given PA doesn’t look likely to finish 1st or 2nd then we will either face Dogs at Marvel or Cats at the G. Coming 1st 2nd or 3rd won’t change that. So agree on resting him if needed.

Hawks looking to deliver another upset to a top 4 team.

Tmac subbed out. Hopefully just precautionary given the game is wrapped up.

Yep Harmes and Viney need to stick to simple skills. I get that they want to look silky but it’s not their 1 wood.

Goal kicking has been average in the 2nd half. Missed Lita of opportunity to make this 100+

I don’t care how much we win by but Harmes needs to be dropped.

LJ rest? Cleary the right call was made.

Not out of the ruck.

We have hit our avg score half way through 2nd quarter.

Ruthless. Keep it up boys.

Same here. Just close th app and restart it helps with me some times if it’s playing up.

Good to turn it around there but we had two turnover goals (Viney & Sparrow). Our pressure game is on - but so is GC. The team that maintains that will win the game. We switched off after Q1 against the Hawks-- this game is looking very similar to that so far.

Umps on today. We look terrible. Upset looming.

So we had to fly up gamday before being turned around and I bet the Suns will fly up today and stay the night.. i get that its a miracle to just get the game away but we continually get shafted by lady kick mad the MFCSS

Fox listed the game as Gold Coast subs vs MFC. What does that mean? Edit: just realised it’s a typo… supposed to be Suns. Hahah for a moment there we were being gifted a W.

Can you imagine we had McKay in our side.. As good as JT has picked recruits that is one monumental misjudgement. In fairness it is difficult to pick a KPF.

i think my explanation was a little backward..rather than grandfathering the rule, think the grandfathering should be to allow for those already in the system. So no new NGA prospects this year under the old rule. Still gives us fair and access to Mac Andrew whilst gradually a fairer implementation of the rule. Otherwise we should get some form of point compensation given the time we have invested into this kid (presumably).

Yep its a disgusting industry to see how she was treated. It wasnt the first time either. The media need to take a long hard look at themselves because substitute Caro with Eddie, Whately, Robbo, Hutchy etc....no one would have come down that hard on any of the boys.

First time i have seen footage of him play. Looks to have a decent kicking technique and is quite skillful with the ball as well. Has great energy for a boy that is 200cm.... The obvious is that he is quite lean. it will take a few year for him to fill out and bulk up - if his metabolism and genetics allow it of course. And that would naturally mean he would lose some of that athletic dynamism - but he has plenty to spare so no biggy. Hard to speculate on his footy brain, but he seems to be getting involved enough. if King bro's can go top 10 then i cannot see why Mac Andrew cannot as well. If we could snare him, then the Mac Andrew LJ combination will be something that could look so difficult to match up. I wont comment on the fairness of the "Jamarra rule'..oh stuff it ... If the AFL were serious on it, they should grandfather the whole thing for last year. The timing was so deliberately setup so that the Doggies could snare the last NGA prospect because this has been a known issue for many of years. Somebody at Doggie Land clearly has evidence that Gill had a beachfront property on Epstein's 'paradise' island.

Hope he goes to the GC with another player in exchange for their 1st pick! That would be a bold move.
