Absolutely could be. The forward stuff was from people not currently involved at the club, they were more talking about him as a player in general. He definitely is unique. Thoughts on Tomlinson potentially playing as a forward/ruck at times? (Obviously penciled in for mostly the wing, but not many players stay in the one spot for a whole game these days).

Am I alone in thinking there's a bit of Buddy about Jackson? Give him some time to fill out and what defender is going to be able to outlaw, outrun and outbody him?

I propose that on game days, affiliated pubs could add a small but significant surcharge to food and drinks to be donated to the club. Fans could gather knowing they were helping the club with each sip. Might add up...

Anyone else thinking that Jackson is probably better suited to be a forward than a ruck? With TMac they'd make a highly mobile double act....

If not, Weid is there to cushion the blow.

Uh-oh, they haven't reviewed the game. Like Prelim 2018? Trying to pretend it didn't happen? Biggest mistake of 2019 was not dealing with that loss. It had to be one to those "never again" moments, but it wasn't...

Native of Glenelg though.... Might be hard to pry away. Cameron is from Dartmoor, if I'm not wrong, and barracked for Demons as a kid, if I'm not wrong again...

Yep. Luck aside, it's all between the ears now. We have the cattle. 

Look at Richmond...  I still cant bring myself to consider their players of the last few seasons as actually being any good.

Outside of the "Big 4" the core group has been the same bunch of players that many would have considered fairly ordinary pre-2017.

Now look at them. They have belief, a good system, ridiculous luck with injuries (and the MRP) and they are flying.

That can be us.

We need a half forward. Are we making a play for Jeremy Cameron? Is Weid going to become a footballer? Now is the time to do something.  

Shots of Goody during the third qtr saw him looking like a rabbit in the spotlight, like Don Pyke in the 17 Grannie. Where was the passion? The Fire? Bloody hell, Dimmer gave the Tigers are rev up at 3 qtr time and they were well up. Goody was cold, and he doesn't inspire his troops.

The game plan doesn't work. The game plan doesn't work. The game plan doesn't work. 

Nothing has changed for the better.

Thank God for those thoughts and prayers! Where would we be without them?! Oh, if only God would actually answer and send me more toilet paper!

Oh, never mind, I  know where I can get some. Off to the distant mountain....

One thing is for sure - there won't be anyone throwing toilet rolls to celebrate a goal.  Though if things don't turn out too bad  later in the season some people may have an embarrassing number of rolls they wish to get rid of quickly.

Pretty sure I can think of other uses for them . . .

Remarkable level of agreement around this topic.... See, Mum, the internet isn't all bullies and porn!

I loved coming home from school in winter and pouring hot milk over a bowl of Weet-Bix, make them all mushy and throw on some sugar or honey. TV on, kick back. Simpler times.

Vita-brits were better. Wary of starting a fight here....
