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.

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

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

Has plenty of fine attributes. Tough, hard and great kick for goal. His disposal lets him down badly though.

One of my favourite albums along with symphonies of sickness

Just watched the Crows Geelong game. Crows scraped home by 2 points. I don't think the Crows are at the same level this year at all. You can't write them off because they're a champion team but I don't think they can win it. It's us and the Lions I reckon

For those interested this doco gives a good overview of the extreme metal genres and leading bands. The Norwegian black metal scene is well covered @Gorgoroth It's presented by a Canadian dude, Sam Dunn, who produces lots of metal related content so well worth checking out. I’m an old grindcore fan. Napalm Death and Carcass are the original and best in my view

Thanks @Gorgoroth. I'm going to check this stuff out

I think its very possible they regress and won't be surprised if they miss finals.

and meant to say, Smith is in no way and adequate replacement for Petty down back. the suggestion is laughable (and i'm not a Smith hater, he can do a job for us)

I can see the merits of moving him forward for sure but on balance i'd leave him where he is. Defensively, I think he can be our lynchpin in due course. May is 30 so hasn't many years left and Rick is an interceptor as we know. It won't be long before Petty will be taking the opps most dangerous KPF Great option to swing forward if needed though

I dream of Freo having a Melbourne 2019 type season. That would be fun to watch

Norwegian black metal. Gaahl was a weird unit

The city of the tribes. Great spot
