This is more like it. Hore and Zanks making a huge difference.

They look flat after starting so well.

Another gimmie goal

How was that a free when the Pies have been diving on the ball all night long

57 years will do that to a team. Win a premiership I reckon we can hit 75-80k next year. But to join the Pies we would need sustained success over a 2 decades. The odd drop off here Ana a mini rebuild there. but at least 3-4 flags in that time.

Butters is a deserved winner. All the respect for Jack as he is tough as nuts. On a seperate note, I like that they’ve named true HBs and wingers in the side. I doubt we will see the HFF side being recognised any time soon.

All good points, except his name doesn’t have ,Craig McCrae’ in it.

there are only so many 3-game and pet memberships i can afford 😂

Unless they go with future picks. Which honestly isn't a bad option particularly if we trade into this year to get GCS pick 4.

The likelihood is astronomically small, but it would require a lot of things to go our...for example Grundy actually wanting to live in Sydney, which appears unlikely atm.

The AA selectors are just plain old idiots. Favoritism and recency bias all plague the selectors judgements. Having said that, i dont think any of our players have had an AA level performance besides Trac. Viney was solid as always, but the AA midfield is always determined on offensive attributes as opposed to raw inside and defensive pressure acts etc so would really doubt Viney gets through to the 22. Oliver was out for half the year, who is usually a walk in. Gawn was played out of position for half the year and missed a month of footy. May and Lever were solid but not outstanding. The ladder leaders will always get plaudits....little do people realize how close in fact the top 4 teams are with how prominent the number of games decided by less than a goal feature in their H&A record.

And that is why WCE are sweating. If they go Reid, Norf will 100% go Curtin. So if WCE do take Curtin, can we entice Norf to split their pick to 4,5 with their 2nd rounder or future 2nd rounder coming back to us? It will also depend on what compensation they get from the AFL for McKay as well. If they get pick 3 for example, they are not going to entertain a swap with us unless they can use one of those picks to trade for a mature, contracted player, which is highly unlikely.

See, you would have benefited from a title change. 😂

We just have to win this game now and allow Fritta more time to heal post game.

Also suggest we update the title when we know because every time i see it pop up the top of the threads i have to relive 10 seconds of hell thinking the worst news has come to light every single time.

If going by what Goody said last night on 360 (that our players are mighty fresh and fit), then its really a hard choice as anyone of them can go nuts. For me if i could chose, anyone of ANB, Kozzy or Chin. Reason being, when any one of them fire it means our a forward half game is on and that usually means a W.

Norf will be silly to do that trade. Make WC sweat and call out Curtin. I think we should instead make a play for NOrf's 2nd pick Pick 2 for 5 and 15. is a fair trade. Norf end up getting Watson with 3, McKercher with 5, Sanders with 15 with NGA. We can also throw in Tommo to give them KPD stock for 2024 to sweeten the deal. We either get Curtin or Reid.

Presumably we will dominate the MCC 70/30. Assume equal allocation of club members to both sides and if they take the 80/20 of AFL reserve, then it should be a pretty balanced turnout.

well i figured it out in the end. rookie error by me. Trying to buy two tickets - separated barcodes by hitting 'enter' and not spacing them out. re-read email, it was there but in the heat of the moment, did see the fine print. Q50 BB. would have been E or F if i had worked it out earlier.

what do you mean? i have a junior membership for son and i have to purchase separately and cannot find a way to group it together with me. The one time i had a side by side allocation, the thing timed out and i had to start again.

seriously what a [censored] system. how can i sit next to my son ?

Waiting for 20 mins now in two devices.

presumably after. But i couldnt tell you.

It has been mentioned he is fine. So this has to be precautionary.

2 players for what is arguably a team finishing 2nd on the ladder. Please, the disrespect that we continue to get from the media is an absolute farce. I hope there are some sore ego's from this and that they'll show the selector's how wrong they were in the coming weeks. Also, what is the love for the bottom sides? Bar a handful of standout performances (Larkey). As a general rule if you are bottom 6, "Thank you, come again (next year)". Im surprised Buckley just didn't name the entire CFC. Quaynor and Nick Daicos are the only ones deserving of the AA.
