Roost it far

We’re actually playing with several of our best quite banged up. For those thinking the bye is a godsend take a look the other side. There’s another tough stretch of games with the Blues firmly in my sights.

Strongly disagree. He’s going to be a pillar down back once he gets a run at it

He’s an obvious replacement if TMac goes down. I can’t imagine TMac playing every game. Turner will get his chance but he’ll need to grab it with both hands

2 umpires staring at it?

For mine it’s not how we’re playing, the game plan or any of that, it’s the resolve. The sense that the group realises in their bones what a waste last year was. That the only redemption available to them is a flag

Jeez, Adelaide have some absolute plodders out there.

The umpiring is terrible, it’s so below the standard it’s farcical.

It’s another political-corporate junket. Taxpayers money spent on corporates so they can [censored] each other off.

There’s absolutely no point in him getting wiped out

So Kozzie will get a week but Maynard plays……duck me that is insanity

Is that Buster McGee?

No I don’t, I always said we were capable of first

Hunter, Laurie, Spargo, AMW, Woewodin, Fullarton, Tholstrup, Melksham, Tomlinson, McAdam, Adams, Brown, Turner, Sestan all are attempting to break into the side. It's funny when you're winning, even your depth looks fantastic. It was less than a month ago I was bemoaning our thin list. :)

Steven Stretch was unfairly labelled soft for maybe 2 incidents in his whole career. One involved Dippa so surely doesn't count. Sublime skills, could run all day and didn't mind a goal.......soft.....pfffffft

You'd reckon JT can find us some gold in there

It’d be just our luck to line up all the chairs and have a bunch of 75 year old dog walkers stymie the project

I actually think we’ll take the foot off the accelerator in the last to avoid overly embarrassing the crows

He’s surprised me with what he’s bought this year. Thought we may of seen the best of him. Was actually expecting AMW and even Laurie to go past him. Hopefully the bye weekend helps his knees recover. It’s a long season

Here's 9 for you cobber, remembering that I clearly stated that amongst this group some important cameos took place. Salem Hore Pickett Howes Petty Sparrow JVR Billings McVee I thought all the above had a below their standard game, I also thought Oliver was very quiet for 3 quarters.

Sure but when Port challenged we answered, every time. Our last quarter was phenomenal. The issue I see is that it took our stars to win it. There was more than a handful of passengers on Saturday night, although a few managed some solid cameos

Is AMW being groomed as Jetta 2.0?

Melbourne by 40 points

Fantastic young player but you just gotta take some body at times. Give away the free if you have to but don't give them an easy out. Makes me realise that the game is now being coached to avoid unnecessary contact which I'm certainly not against. There are times though when a body must be connected with.

Grabbed his knee/hamstring. I had a mild apoplectic fit until I saw him running minutes late.

If Petty is to leave then I know exactly who I’m riding
