We have never had a good match up in the past for this type of player… de Goey same boat - but agree must keep him quiet. I think Sparrow would be a good clamp and could squeeze if he gets on a run. But it was GWS so would read much into it. If Viney can negate Merrett in the middle, I think Oliver & Trac vs Parish & Shiel win 8-9 / 10. Will be interesting to see what they do in the ruck given they have both 2m Peter and Weid out injured. They’ll be playing a shortish and more mobile forward line, which suits their game plan , but nothing that we can’t handle.

He has a simple, unorthodox and yet efficient kicking technique

Rivers joins the likes of Sparrow , Chandler & Jordon who would earn decent coin at another club but given our book, probably sacrifices upwards of 50-75k of his earning potential. Clubs will probably offer 100-150k per year more than we could .. that’ll be hard to say no to. Rivers is probably the player we can most afford to lose, given the alternatives we have down back. Sparrow and Jordon I’d want to keep more. But thats just my opinion.

If he has another 50 goals season he will be hard to ignore as an AA.

6 Grundy 5 Oliver 4 TMac 3 Viney 2 Trac 1 Rivers

Nope - he needs to earn it back.

That was a clear goal… watch it go under the media radar because of the smacking.

Jude McVee… outstanding!

Great mark Roo

So who wrote off TMac again?

How do you let him mark that.

And there it is.

The frees not paid to us are an absolute joke.

And a 6 day break and yet, Saints and Bombers yet to leave Victoria.

While you are at it what about the single Geelong game fixtures. Any chance we can get them once a year as a home game?

My prediction West Coast are going to come out firing with immense pressure in Q1. Don’t expect it to last long but if they get rolling early and we are anything like we played against the Lions this will be closer than many people think. I hope the boys are switched on and not complacent as they were a fortnight ago. If they are then it should be a comfortable victory.

I’d wait until he’s out of contract and offer Freo our 2nd rounder plus future 3rd.

Wow so the whole Jefferson Ford wasn’t just coincidence. how funny.

If he’s playing with that level of vulnerability , the AFL should step in.

Big? It look like he barely touched the ground. But agree, hope he is ok as he didn’t look good at all.

Top 5 will do me just fine. We will have first dibs on some top talent.

Putting our pick aside, Freo are destined to finish bottom 4 playing this style. Longmuir needs to overhaul their system big time and we know how hard that is mid season. The only side they should beat is Hawthorn - I’d bet against every game.

Take away thosd disgraceful frees to Carlton and Norf win. That’s 2 weeks on the trot that the umps have changed the result…. For the same team.. who in the industry is brave enough to call this out

Jordon stiff.

Umpiring bias getting to royal commission territory at this rate.
