Roost it far

May looks done to me. He's 33 and has used his big frame as a battering ram. I'm surprised we're not giving Adams a shot, which likely has more to do with Adams than anything else. May had a terrible year last year by his standards and 2025 isn't looking much better. TMac on the other hand could well go to 2027, he doesn't play a high impact game and seems as fit as ever. Lever just keeps getting injured and there's not much we can do about that. Turner looked great on Amyss in the first half and Petty kicked 4 so maybe that's how we play it. 2 talls at each end with Windsor, Bowey, McVee and Lindsay running it out of defence and Pickett, Melksham, Fritsch, Petracca and Sparrow as the forwards? It's amazing what a win does for ones day, Life's good and full of opportunities again!

Can you rewrite that.

We haven’t had our best 12 months

I’m telling you Fritsch will thrive in a fast transition game like we just played. Did you see the space in our 50?

Maybe, maybe not.

Not if we can sustain the effort of Saturday.

We only have to finish 12th or better to make the Lindsay pick perfectly justified. He's easily top 6 in this years draft plus he'll have a year under his belt. We're massive winners.

I'd want to see no more injuries and all of May, McVee, Fritsch, JVR, Turner and after that Lever back into the side asap. With faster ball movement Fritsch will have a field day. Opposition sides will have to man up a forward half of Pickett, Fritsch, Petracca at times and Perhaps Petty and JVR. That's a handful when the ball is coming in quick, less so when it's bombed high and slow. If we can limit injuries we should have some decent footy coming up. There's no easy games when you're 1-5 though. Richmond aren't hopeless.

I think it’s counter productive dropping Howes. I don’t think May will be fit anyway. I’d consider Fritsch and McVee for Turner and Sharp

I understand what he did. He’s fine for bottom 6 when 5 of our best are out. He works hard, pressures players with his run and set up a goal to Langford. Not flash but serviceable.

Nothing beautiful and when May, Lever and McVee are fit and Fritsch and JVR are back in form he’ll likely be at Casey. But for now he’s doing his bit.

You get McVee in asap. We bought Kolt in after a long break, McVee comes in this week.

Oh and I’d of loved to see Turner play 4 quarters. He was very solid prior to being kneed in the head……nothing to see here, no duty of care required….concuss away! The AFL are an utter clown show.

Watching the replay Sparrow had a good solid game Sharp does enough and he’s quick Fullarton surely gets another run Salem’s game was fine Thought it was one of Howes better games. Spargo showed why he’s in the side. If those guys are our bottom 6 that’s fine by me.

Sunday arvo, Sydney V Port, no thanks I’m watching the full replay!

I think they were told to hunt Freo and let the game begin at contest, that’s our strength and it brings confidence.

I’ll take Hird, Bont or Cripps

The wing is perfect for him atm, beautiful kick, calm under heat and strong. A few seasons and he’ll be our inside bull

I tell you what the match reports here are AFL standard.

If everyone in the team was Kozzie we wouldn't lose a game for 8 years.

I also noticed when the players ran onto the ground Koz was one of the first out of the race but then stopped and turned around and gave every player a mid 5 (A waist high High 5) He may well be homesick but he's 100% invested. I love him and having him leave would be like when we lost Farmer, the club just can't let it happen.

Koz, let's redo your contract, How's 9 million over 7 years sound? Personally I think he's the clubs most important player.

That game style is a boon for Fritsch. Quick ball movement to an open forward half. Do we bring him straight back in even though he was underwhelming at Casey? Where to for Petty? 3 goals and a gift to Koz in the square, is exactly what we have needed, it'd be a brave man to move him back this week. With a full contract payout there's little to no chance Goodwin is moved on. It's kind of nice realising the turmoil that that likely saves us. He just might prove most of us wrong, I for one would be more than happy with that. Thanks for the pod.

That's what those big screens are for, the replays 🤪

He actually flicks the Peace sign, a glorious touch.
