Roost it far

Along with Dan Turner, Blake Howes and Jed Adams our backline looks sorted for quite sometime.

I actually wrote in 2013 that there's an 11 year old called Trent Rivers who I was sure would become almost the pick of the draft and a fine HBF but again I also don't want to boast.

That's us last year.

We need some clean ball users, a CHF and a replacement for May.

I’m hoping that this finals series sees him in the centre more.

The bye makes a rest irrelevant. We actually look very very fit. Almost scary fit, like we’ve been planning for this finals series all year in fact. At this point I think Brisbane are the biggest threat to our flag, even at the G.

Some facts We did everything we needed to do to win, nothing more. People don’t understand what Kozzie does and why he is so invaluable Our defence is the league standard and virtually unbeatable, exactly what finals require Our midfield is the equal or better than our main flag competition. Only PA may have a better one but they don’t have Max and they ain’t winning the way they play. As it stands Brisbane is our main threat and all going well we won’t face them til the GF, plenty of time for our forward line to find its mojo.

Same could be said of Adelaide, Suns, WB, GWS, and whoever else is unlucky enough to miss this year

Port won’t lose but Brissie certainly can

Let’s trade up get 2 top 10 picks, bring Disco Turner in and it’ll be happy days

Disco turner to replace Tomlinson next year

Laurie: some clever touches Gawn: Not his best McVee: very strong overhead

It was a really tough week. I’m all in this year. I was literally shaking watching this and I’ve got the GF coming up. I’m going to take up drinking and pot again.

If TMac kicks 4 next week, oh boy, Wow wee

I’m so happy we won that

In: Fritsch, TMac Out: Laurie, Schache TMac or Smith the starting sub

If you think JVR is going out you’ve got rocks in your head

Apologies to Jake Bowey but he made some rank mistakes the last 2 weeks. Needs to be better than that. Schache a strange sub.

I was extremely confident all week 🤓

Never in doubt

We were always going to beat the Hawks….Don’t understand people who were worried.

Bowey confirmed as a spud

Bowey has become a bit of a spud

Win a clearance

I can’t, I’ve got chills over this game
