Roost it far

Geelong also had the benefit of few injuries, a soft draw and that [censored] of a ground

Good article on the whole disaster that is Essendon and Thorburn. 8DD926FC-F924-492B-BD69-AB9A21C02665.pdf

The only reason I went to the footy as a kid.

Why are people arguing about Jake Lever’s trade price?

What to Cornes say about Lamb?

There no chance Jackson goes to the PSD or plays for us or sits out a year. You chest puffers need to give that rubbish a rest. He’s most likely going to Freo and an outside chance to go the WC. We’ll get fairly compensated and move on. I’d be astounded if at the end of the trade and draft period this club isn’t better off than it was before. Player movement is now part of the game and we’ve be adept at using it to our advantage.

Grundy at $6-700k for pick 25 would be the bargain of the year.

Whitten Oval last round 1987

Personally I think Brown and TMac are largely cooked and if we're building our 2023 forward line around them we may just be as well. I'd suggest the club can't let Weideman go because we need 2 solid targets in the forward line and it's possible he'll be one of them. Maybe JVR will be the other but lets reserve judgement until we know he's actually up to being an AFL grade key forward! If the club aren't chasing a key forward such as Georgiades I'd be very surprised. Both Brown and TMac are running on borrowed time but who knows they may kick 100 goals between them in 2023

Where's Casey again?

Does anyone else find it odd that the AFL is in charge of investigating the AFL?

I just don’t think you want Grundy to win a flag and you know that’s what’s going to happen with him in the 22

No

White assumptions and good intentions? have I just been transported to 1950?

Let it go champ

Max was beat up this year and it showed. Cox drove his knee into his back a dozen times on QB and I don't think Max ever got back to full fitness. He's 31 and with Grundy playing we'll have a chance to float one forward and one behind the ball. With our midfield we'll own clearances and stoppages. We need to sort out some dash and a rejig the forward line a little. Our game plan might bore you but it works really well. Can't see how we don't compete right at the pointy end next year. We actually have most of the pieces already at the club, just some tinkering required.

You say we got found out but did we? Everyone bemoans our style yet it won a Premiership. We were some poor shots on goal from beating the Pies who scraped over the line with the help of the umpires. The Swans beat us by under 4 goals and we were clearly hampered by Petracca and Gawn both being sore on the night. No one steam rolled us and we weren't at our best. A tweak here and there, a good rest before preseason and we'll be back on top where we belong.

Has he reinjured the same foot/previous injury?

Why does everyone want out of Freo?

There's no doubt Goodwin and co will be talking to the players about humility, respect and buy in over summer. We were off by about 5% in a more than one area this year and it cost us a flag. I still think we are the best team in the comp but that gets you a top 4 finish, the 5% then gets you the Flag. It's a lot to do with culture so I agree with the opening post. I'm pretty confident in the club atm to be able to tweak things and get us back to the top because we're way too good to not be winning finals. Plus we need to win one at the G, we don't want to admit that to our non Demon friends but we know it to be true!

What a fantastic hit it was though

Is JVR actually any good or is he just demonlands wet dream? As for Chandler, just no. Bowey I’d fit in but not sure who comes out

That’s not a cloud over Petracca, that’s a thunderstorm

Because no one knows he’s got a fracture, just a bad corky. He’s a match winner and it’s a final, of course he stays on. Petracca can turn a game with 5 possessions. Smith, he’s not winning the game for us.

If we can’t beat the Swans without Hibberd we aren’t winning the Premiership.
