No Stewart as well? Backline looks very penetrable without him

Big preseason coming up for the blues. Next March isn’t far away. Back to back to back.

What’s the farmland down at Casey like? Asking for a Cameron. I mean, friend.

One reason I hate Geelong is how commentators bang on and on and on about how ‘Hawkins is so good in these ruck situation up forward’, which is usually the precedent for an explanation of what he does even though EVERYONE that follows AFL even a little bit knows that and has heard it a billion times. WE GET IT HE’S GOOD IN THE RUCK UP FORWARD

Calling it. Game done. If Jeremy Cameron ends up at full back kicking it straight to the opposition, it’s game over. Geelong look helpless edit: I bloody tipped Geelong so hopefully this changes the momentum and I’m wrong.

If Cameron gets a long term injury, the cats are done. The goals he kicks from beyond 50 consistently are ridiculous. Only reason they’re in the game.

This is true. If there’s anybody deserving of nepotism, it’s the best boy Jobe.

Stewart’s ability to win 1v1, absorbing repeat entries and intercepting capabilities being missing in this game really hurt the cats defence. They don’t have a replacement and it’s showing.

Yeah he doesn’t really offer any insights? He just points out the obvious that everyone can see is happening. Daisy is legitimately the best special comments person IMO. She teaches me things about the game.

Nice 9 meter kick paid a mark to set up that goal there.

Was actually a great tackle considering there’s literally 50cm height difference between Motlop and Dekoning

What do you mean? He almost took his chest off.

Curnow and Mihocek kick 500 goals between them.

It’s all connected Wodjathefirst… it’s all connected…

Sounds like he’s done his research.

Best AFL game ever made. Who could forget this guy.

Haha, beautiful imagery re: Waterford crystal. I’ve got a few close friends that go for Collingwood and if we got in a GF, the expectation would be to watch it with them. I don’t think I could. Unlike all the other clubs, I wouldn’t be able to take an even mildly lighthearted jab after the game as I’d be so furious. And I’m a very calm person in general! It’s more than a game against Collingwood. I ucking despise that club.

Yup. I think it would fundamentally change me as a person. Have to quit my job, move to India for 6 months, go on a spiritual journey to find meaning in life again haha

Winning or losing a flag against Collingwood are the ultimate footy extremes for me. Wouldn’t get any higher or lower than that. 21’ Grand Final was excruciating waiting all day for it, but I don’t hate the dogs like I hate Collingwood. The tension of a dees/pies Granny would be a lot.

Huh, well there you go! I'm shocked it's that few amount of games. I reckon by pure chance I've seen 3-4 of those 5 goal games as I had it in my head as a certainty that he does it much more frequently than what you've pointed out. Thanks for the correction.

Love this. Be brave with coaching and let young guys have a steep learning curve to get ready for finals intensity. If he does alright then that's a win, if he doesn't, well theres not any defender in the comp that can stop Cameron (except Hibbo) from kicking 5 goals when he's on.

As a long time demonland watcher before I joined, that's the most toilet humoured post I've ever read from you.

I personally wish Jacko well. He’s what, 21 years old? If his family were pressuring him to come home then that’s got to weigh on a young bloke and I don’t really feel any ill will towards him for leaving. He did after all spend all his time since being drafted in covid land which let’s be honest, saw a lot of us especially in Victoria not being able to see family members. I know I’m still overcoming that whole period of time so I can only imagine what it would be like for a 19-20 year old to be able to perform and stay in a premiership winning side whilst all that madness went on. I hope he is able to fulfil his potential as he’s barely into his 20’s and now he’s going to be under so much pressure to perform in a 2 team town. Give the kid some slack and move on. All the best Jacko.

Yup, Schache is probably the first option. I’m commented about JVR in the above post and I guess all I’d put forward about Tomlinson, is Petty went forward for one game last year and did well whilst also not having trained in that position for 24-36 months. If we wanted to reward Tomlinsons efforts for last week, give him a go up forward.

Fair call. Only going off what others have said about JVR in other threads, apparently Goodwin has commented that JVR doesn’t have the tank at AFL standard yet. If Goodwin is brave and we want to throw a grenade at Brisbane, Petty up forward would definitely be that.
