The crows sit 3rd and highly unlikely to drop lower. They’re not as formidable as last year but still a tough opponent to play in the QF. I’d rather avoid them i think we need to go hell for leather against the eagles and try to make up the percentage. We’re well capable. And then hope the pies do us a favour. They have something to play in terms of finals position so you never know

Very solid win. Bombers to their credit stuck at it and didn't make it easy for us Can't see us making up the percentage but you never know. Would be great to get a calm day next Saturday and go hard at the Eagles, who are very ordinary. Pies might keep it close against the Lions but won't beat them.

That clown in the crowd needs to be taken outside and dealt with

didn't look touched

Great stuff. Keep the foot on their throats' girls

Sloppy defensive play from us this quarter

Have to agree on Underwood. the female BT

Nice finish Paxy. She's going well this year @DeeSpencer

Best 2 passages of play that quarter were Bannan in space, taking the game on. She's a jet. Just need to get the ball to her I think we may actually play better into the wind (although it does look quite strong)

Chaplin has been very solid for us this year

Bonny Toogood sounds like the name of a character from an Austin Powers movie

Bannon is a star.

Bannan is such a dangerous player off the wing. such pace

Just saw the girls trying to run through the banner. Looks a typical windy day out at Casey

Josh Schache is a depth acquisition that arose purely because the Weid wanted to leave. Tim Lamb said as much. He also mentioned that his versatility was attractive. He will play a few cameos for us if needed but spend most time with Casey. He won’t become a best 22 player and won’t miraculously solve our forward problems. Would be very pleasantly surprised if he did though but I’m not holding out much hope.

Square dancing, no. Line dancing could work though

I'm down with all forms of music and musical expression except most country music. It has a very whiney, formulaic quality to it. Maybe there's a country music fan on the forum that can explain or enlighten me regarding the attraction of country music.

The weather could put a spanner in the works but even if it does turn inclement I’ve been so impressed with the consistency of performance this year I still reckon we’ll find a way to put up a score irrespective of conditions.

My wife was a big west wing fan. I quite enjoyed it as well. Very idealistic though. Big contrast to shows such as The Wire which was dark and very cynical about politics Maybe there is a nefarious motive, I don’t know, but either way I still think a threshold of 20 is a pretty low bar to meet for any candidate

Strong lineup and great to see us building towards a fully fit list (McNamara and Colvin excepted) coming into finals i expect a professional performance today. That should be enough to translate into a 40 point win for us which will keep within range of Brisbanes percentage

I reckon they’ve done it to weed out the time wasters. What do you reckon? I really don’t think it makes it harder for genuine candidates

I agree with you but this board and its predecessor have been a long time now trying to progress the MGC precinct option. Maybe it’s viable but maybe it’s a dead end and we’ve wasted more time money and energy on a lost cause. I would like to know where we’re at with it all. The board telling us it can’t comment because of the politics involved may be true but is also self serving. Could be a convenient cover story. I don’t know. I’m just frustrated and if someone stepped forward with an alternative plan I would definitely listen.

Changing the threshold from 2 to 20 members to support nominations is not anti-democratic or somehow makes it easier for the incumbent board to entrench their position. I could rustle up 20 members signatures in 24 hours. Easy. If a candidate can’t do that much then they should not be running in the first place. And despite my frustration at the lack of progress on the home base front the reality is I won’t create waves if we’re winning on field. That’s the most important thing. No one should be rocking the boat if it jeopardises that. I think Peter Lawrence has good intentions, (but totally misguided) and he’s finding out now that pushing an agenda at the wrong time without a clear appetite for change is not going to win much support

Disregard everything I've ever posted about Lachie Hunter. I liked him all along profile photo duly updated
