Roost it far

Wouldn’t bogans eat steak with seafood sauce “Reef and Beef” I think they called it. Fkcu me!

2 pick 1’s

Hahaha, you’re funny old boy

You keep telling yourself that champ

Petty is twice the footballer of Smith. Smith is a useful sub because his 4 possessions only take a quarter rather than 4

I was there with my Mum out at Waverley. Stayed till the end, tough day at the office.

Didn’t Petty play his footy forward pre Melbourne

Well not is Grundy

I think Petty can work forward. If we’re relying on Brown we’ve got issues. If we’re relying on Grundy we’ve got issues.

My memory says we were closer than that. We struggled to keep our best 22 on the park. Schwarz, Yze, Lyon, Charles, Tingay, GLovett all lost crucial games in their careers. We were in it several times but you need the ounce of luck which we never had.

Great work BIG FELLA!!

Get over it. Everyone views the club and team through a different set of eyes. Whilst I go with blind optimism, The Big Fella is more circumspect in his support. His views are all part of the mix.

I want us to do them slowly

Grand Final 2023 1/4 Time Pies lead by 28 Half Time Collingwood 9.8.62 Melbourne 6.11.47 3/4 Time Pies lead by 21. Tomlinson subbed out, Petty moved back, Smith bought on. Demons pile on 9 unanswered goals with Smith kicking 3. Dee’s by 37. Highlight being Melbournes last goal, Viney tearing the ball out of Howes arms and slotting it through.

He’s not over rated. He’s in our best 22. We’ve got top 4 locked. It’s all about getting the team cherry ripe for September. He needs games, my preference is forward with Tomlinson back.

I reckon he’d be very fit. Just needs some match conditioning

Because if we’re to win the flag Perry’s in the team

If Petty and JVR fire, Grundy is in a spot

Petty and JVR are, whether you like it or not, our best tall forwards and I’d expect they’re our September duo.

Cheers, sounds minor hopefully stays that way

Anyone know the severity of Sparrow’s injury?

Petty comes straight back in. We need to get AFL games into him before finals.

We've largely been ok without ok without Oliver because we are a rusted on contested team. Viney, Brayshaw, Sparrow and even JJ are happiest at the coalface. I'd be bringing Oliver back in, sliding Petracca forward for even more minutes. I'd love to see him isolated one on one deep forward at times. As said Brayshaw goes back. Is JJ the unlucky one yet again. I'd love to see a Premiership medallion around his neck but it'll be hard if we're 100% fit. Oliver's absence has been a wonderful thing for this team but I'm pretty bloody keen to see him back now.

Nope.

It would appear that this year it’s very likely he is
