  1. We just need to win, losing isn’t an option.
  2. Thanks for that, really helps my mood
  3. Jeez we gave these scumbags a leg up to a flag…..[censored]!!! I really hope we get another crack
  4. I don’t think it’s left us with a deficiency in that area though. My concerns lie with the drop off of Salem and Langdon. I also actually think we’re going to be pretty strong forward of the ball once Petty is back.
  5. We’d still be better off with Bedford over Chandler. That was as clear last year as it is now. In saying that I’m not overly disappointed as both are now best 22 in finals teams.
  6. Turner played forward and dominated, 31 marks, 15 goals 2 behinds, 17 tackles, 133 pressure acts, 41 goal assists and 2 smothers. Grundy had 128 hit outs, 98 to advantage and kicked 2 with 33 disposals and 14 marks. JJ had 56 disposals, 45 contested, 2200m gained and kicked 3.
  7. He's not that player, never has been, never will be.
  8. Firstly, you implied we hadn't be playing tough, hard football which is rubbish. Secondly we were carrying multiple injuries to some of our best players last year, plus it's last year, so hardly relevant. We'll lose JVR, likely for Grundy, which in all honesty, is a pretty damn fine swap. Don't forget Grundy's a bloody good footballer. We've lost Brayshaw and JJ is an adequate replacement. Lower the eyes, kick straight, don't panic. In all honesty I think those early goals to Collingwood and losing Brayshaw to a concussion through us off. By mid way through the second we were on top, sadly we couldn't get it done. You can run around yelling the sky is falling flapping your arms or you can knuckle down and win 3 games of football. I reckon I know what the club will do but hey after the first half of last night I was thinking Carlton will floor us so what would I know?
  9. Take it easy, you'd be saying how awesome everything is had we kicked straight 3-4 more times. The forward line is a busted up Comodore atm. The fact we were even in it is a small miracle.
  10. Minimal change, kick straight, move to prelim
  11. Waffle, we’re not playing May forward and I’m almost certain Tomlinson won’t play. We play tough, hard football every week. If you haven’t seen that already I can’t help you.
  12. Petracca has to play more time forward with JJ replacing Brayshaw
  13. I think we have the making a really strong front half in Petty and JVR. I'd be looking for May's replacement and an elite midfielder or 2. McAdam will be a great get I think. Hoping Woewodin and Howes can start playing senior footy
  14. If Stafford had Petty and Melksham we'd be fine. We're asking him to turn water into wine.
  15. The reality is Tomlinson would offer more than TMac who by any metric is finished. We won't do it though. Out: Brayshaw, JVR In: Jordan, Grundy Sub: Woewodin/Spargo/Laurie
  16. Thats called a Hail Mary
  17. Feeling better after seeing Sydney fight back. Should beat the Blues comfortably
  18. We’re in all sorts against the energy of the Blues
  19. Roost it far replied to Ouch!'s post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Oh no you’re yelling again. Chill the farc out man
  20. They’ll beat us at clearance and pump it forward, sheesh, could get ugly
  21. We’re in all sorts against the Blues, they’ve got that energy that teams get.
  22. Here we go
  23. If a professional athlete needs his coach to "rev" him up before a QF against Collingwood in front of 92,000 fans its his problem not the coach. I actually think we expected it to just happen and then Gus goes off and bang, we're 4-5 goals down.
  24. Is there any substance in the Lynch rumours?
  25. C'mon Man, give me more
