BDA

F**kin hate Tom Lynch

I think we're witnessing the death throes of this Richmond team. Well off the pace and lucky not to be 6 goals down. I can't see a come back

I though BB deserved to play selection committee have been getting it right all year so i'll back their judgment but i would think BB has to come in next week. We can't continue to tolerate a misfiring forward set-up and leave a 60-goal per season player in the 2's.

Any idea who goes out Parma?

Both teams have a history of stuffing up! Watch England now lose to the Ukraine on penalties If they do win the Euros i'm glad i'm the other side of the world because their supporters will be insufferable

As well as the Feds did early on through closing borders I’m afraid the vaccine roll out has been a shambles I thought Scotty was supposed to be a marketer? The mixed messaging over the past few weeks has been really poor so no wonder people are hesitant. Keeping life suspended in our island bubble with rolling lockdowns is just not sustainable. For me borders need to re-open and we all get back to something resembling a normal life sooner rather later. The Feds need to stock up on vaccines and tell the public its vaccine v covid. Make your choice.

The doggies were flummoxed, we ran the Lions off their feet and the Cats old legs will tire over the journey. We are rock solid defensively and I reckon the fittest team in the league. The media are distracted by bright shiny things. I’m not fussed. I prefer to be under-estimated. Come September I’ll back in May, Lever, our game plan and fitness over every other team.

GWS were very poor v the hawks. they had a great chance to move into the 8 and completely fluffed their lines. They are just not very good Toby Greene is a super player. We'll have to keep a close eye on him. It's a job for May I reckon. Contain Greene and i don't think the Giants have much else to offer. If we kick straight we win by 6-7 goals. If we don't them it'll be another nervous 10-15 point win

The proceeds will help fund our new home base. If we ever get a new home base.

Percentage should not be an aim in and of itself. It’s a by-product. We don’t get full value for our dominance because we miss too many gettable set-shots. Its going to cost us one of these days. Improve our goal kicking and our percentage takes care of itself.

We haven't put teams away like the doggies have but we beat them without too much fuss when we played them. Our system and structure beat their champagne football. We nullified Libba at source, denied them space through the corridor and that was the game. Beveridge has his work cut out devising a plan against us. We’ve beaten all the top teams. The dogs have lost to Geelong, Richmond and us. I reckon they are more worried about us than we are of them. We beat them comprehensively once and I back us to beat them again at the G

I wouldn't take them for granted but they're too old i reckon. they'll be found out in the heat of September

It's a pity the West Coast crowd aren't present to witness this. Neck and neck with Essendon as the most entitled supporters in the league.

He did what he had to do today. If he can take the best defender and contribute 2 goals a game its a big win for us. He's well capable of that imv. Let's get him back in and see if we can make it work. We need to find out sooner rather than later. If it fails we can revert back to the extra small.

Top of the table, no injuries, no contract concerns, game plan stands up, everyone has bought in. And we haven't hit top gear yet. There's improvement to come. The one team i was really worried about have run aground. There'll be no norm smith for dusty this year. We should not fear any other team in this league. Just need to sharpen our goal kicking (BB finding form would be huge) and fingers crossed we have luck with injuries. We're in great shape for a proper crack at the flag.

Brown has to come in. We need a reliable goal kicker as TMac will have off nights I think sparrow is the one to make way. He's done nothing wrong but i don't think we should break-up the spargo nibbler kozzie unit

A classic thread. Very entertaining.

Very satisfactory afternoon. BB kicked a bag. Has to start v GWS. No point waiting. Jonesy very good , Melks, Baker, Vanders all in amongst it. The Weid was up and down. Hopefully he can build some confidence over the next few weeks and be ready if called upon. Of the youngsters Bowey looks composed. Classy player. Developing nicely. Laurie quieter but he’s had a long lay-off. Rosman has a lot of development to go before being considered for the firsts.

BB has done enough for mine. Get him back in the firsts

Goal kicking this weekend from both Casey and the firsts has been terrible.

We're much better than Essendon but haven't made it count on the scoreboard. I'm having a feeling of deja vu

The mark and conversion from BB. Reckon he plays against GWS next week

Jones has been our best so far. There's life in the old dog yet.

Yup
