Great idea for a thread DS. I love bagging Geelong

Hawkins deserves his spot in the team. He’s been a great forward and to still be doing it as his age is phenomenal. Naming him captain is just weird though.

Some effort Maxy Gawn. Head and shoulders best ruck in the land. And captain. He’ll add more jackets too. Will he make it to 10 I wonder?

Hawkins as captain completely devalues the notion of AA captain. It 100% should be Maxy

WTF

Fritsch unlucky. Had put together back to back excellent seasons. Will hopefully have another premiership medallion to make up for it

West Coast loitering in the long grass. I'm sure there is nothing they would like more than to gazump their cross town rivals Good for us as it creates an auction I still want dogga to stay though

Huge call bringing him back for the QF. Very difficult to be match sharp after such a long layoff. And the most likely to make way is melksham you would think and he’s been very good. Unlikely I reckon

Great site. Thanks to Andy and the team for keeping the show on the road. And thanks to all the great contributors whose insights and knowledge of the game make the professionals in the media look like muppets

Raynor should hire Paddy Cripps' QC. Worth every cent apparently

He played well on Sunday i thought. definitely one of Carlton's best on the day

Tough draws make you stronger in the long term. Short term can be a disadvantage if you cop injuries or energy levels get sapped. we looked full of run on Friday night. Our tough draw hasn’t disadvantaged us at all, the opposite in fact. We’re battle hardened now. Good luck opposition.

We are 7-0 on the road this year. Playing in hostile territory has not bothered us so I don't believe being outnumbered during finals will make a difference That said, every Dees fan should get along to the G to support the team

The Stadium is owned by the State Government and administered by a trust I believe. GFC are tenants. Not sure how much rent they pay

The Bombers should try to re-hire him. The one person from their past they should actually bring back into the fold

Don't get me wrong. He shouldn't go to Essendon, its a basket case. Not even Clarkson could succeed there. But i reckon GWS would have been a good fit, out of the limelight he could have put in place his ideas without the media glare

Fritsch will get a jacket. Consecutive years of 50+ goals. May had to wait until last year to get a jacket even though he was outstanding in 2020 as well. I reckon it'll be the same with Fritsch

He could do that and we'd all be delighted But in terms of securing a job now I don't think he needs any further experience. He's been part of 2 coaching teams that delivered flags. Been the 2IC on both occasions. I think he's ready

whats he going to do next year that he hasn't already done

Tough on Yze. Deserves a top job

I assumed you were talking about Luke Jackson until i read the article

would like to know how teams with easy fixtures fare in September. Not well is my guess

You have the most appropriate pseudonym on DL. 10 out of 10 for self awareness

If one of our players said what Zorko said I'd want him suspended at the least and i would seriously consider cutting them from the list unless genuine contrition and remorse was shown Agree with others. Out of respect to Harry we should close this thread
