These carlton supporters are insufferable. I hope they lose.

It’s almost certainly season ending. Just hope he gets back for pre season. But it’s just such bad luck for the bloke roughing it out in 2s for so long.

I’m sure Binman will be all over this in tomorrows podcast. But it was evident that we really put the after burners on at 3QT. That quarter is still concerning as we have seen it in a few games throughout the year.

Is it me or does Nibbler look a foot taller than usual.

Goody must have given them a rocket at 3QT

What a bull dust 50

Doesn’t look good

Salem would want to pull his finger out. He is having an absolute shocker.

Buddy’s celebration is an omen. The last major celebration was last year when he kicked 1000 goals……..against the team that became the premiers.

Incorrect disposal

Trac needs a preseason with butter on his hands

Good mark frittata … and goal

ok so win lose or draw we are finishing 4th. without doing anything silly we need to put in a solid half to emulate QF game style. Syndey are a good turnover scoring team so should be a good opportunity to try a few things defensively to try and stop that.

That is way unders. 4 and 5 is a much better offer. So they miss Curtain - they’ll get two gun midfielders for the price of one.

I highly highly doubt this would be the case.

Yep just no chance whatsoever.

Eagles need multiple 1st round picks. I wonder if we also offer them Grundy as well.

Love how the fox footy panel trying to pump up the Pies. The bombers would have lost to Norf tonight.

Ump just telling Elliot that he owes him one.

Bombers checked in to their flights before the game started.

Would he be a suitable replacement for Jack in a few years? Ive never seen him play, but understand he is good in and under. If he has any of the mongrel his old man did, i think that would be super.

GCS total 2023 draft pool is hovering around the 4500 points mark. Rumour has it that at least 2 of the 3 academy players will be top 10 and given the expected order of those, will need at least 3500 for the two expected to go early. The question will be how much contingency are they going to need or are they prepared to go into deficit next year. Agree as you put it that Pick 4 is of value but cashing it in for points is really a waste. Put in an enticing offer in front of them and i cant see why they wouldn't trade. If a F1 was part of the deal, then id hold onto Pick 15 and give them what ever else we have in the treasure trove, which would include 2nd and 3rd rounders hopefully for Tommo, Harmes. On a side note: if Grundy does goto Sydney i would try this potential trade: Grundy + Pick 15 for Sydney's Pick 9 and 28, which has a points value similar to end of first round 1, which is about right i think. So then for GCS Pick 4, you'd give them F1, 23(MFC),28 (Syd), 36(MFC) + one of Tommo/Harmes (~300). Its approx an extra 200-300 points to GCS in 2023 draft plus a F1. Its a huge huge benefit to GCS and probably unbalanced so we may ask for a F2 to come back our way. We could then have 4,5,9 in 2023.

My outcome is better. But it gets you thinking, if one were to use the expected scores across the whole season, I wonder what that would look like. I know we probably lose the Lions and Suns games. But I think we win Blues, GWS and possibly Port games. Then there are the other teams…

Here’s a thought - If Josh Kelly misses that goal in Alice Springs and the goal umpire did his job at the G against the Blues, we would be on top of the AFL ladder. There is absolutely nothing in it. Sitting 4th is a statistical anomaly.

I’ll take a shot. North are [censored] right now. They lost a few veterans. They’ll be worse next year as the list hits rock bottom. They are short of a KPD, small forwards and and a variety of other roles. Do they take a crack at trying to get Curtin, Watson and McKercher. Or go with Reid? They will already get Sanders by all accounts. That’s 4 guns that in 2-3 years time will be talked about regularly. im happy either way.
