I've been talking up Petty and Jordon for years. Posted under my previous username minus 1 Chandler is next.

Write it down as a loss. As another poster succinctly wrote we are a top 8 bully. It's lucky you only play the top 8 in the finals.

I heard Jason Taylor asked why we took Petty in the draft when we already had a depth of tall midfielders on the list. He said when there is a jet available at a pick you didn't expect you have to take them.

The bloke got the shot at the perfect moment. They had him on the footy show to talk about it back when it was watchable. Today's photographers with their technology take pictures like machine guns, they just keep firing but that bloke just mailed it.

Surely the photo of the Sean Smith mark is the greatest. Heightened by the fact in the footage you see the flash go off in the crowd at the perfect moment.

It might be time to play Petty forward again. He's been good there in the past and he is playing much better footy than Weid or BBB. We are screaming for a key forward and he could be the best option. Majak could play Petty's current role.

Sorry forgot about Essendrugs game. This whole Covid work from home thing is making me lose track of time. Think the sacked coach against Collingwood is still relevant but at the end of the day we weren't good enough to beat them.

It doesn't surprise me you are a face palm advocate and also write a long winded response to someone only to say you are putting them on ignore at the end.

Our form might not be as bad as it looks. Teams that sack their coach normally win the following week and we copped that against Collingwood and teams coming off a bye seem to lose more often than not which happened against GWS.

Is it time to rest Oliver? In the Gus and Gawny podcast it was mentioned that most Wednesdays they don't know if he will get up for the game and we pick emergencies incase he doesn't play. We've just come off a bye so he had a week off but without knowing exactly what's wrong it's hard to say.

Hunt was having a crack.

Hibbo and Viney out? I guarantee you they would both be in every other teams starting 18.

Bit harsh on the calls to drop Hunt. When the game was in the balance he was trying to lift us. He got done holding the ball twice. One of them was a joke where he had no prior opportunity and the other he took 2 bounces but had no options because our forward line isn't functioning yet.

That's a mystery in itself. From what I understand Jordon can run all day. Why is he getting limited TOG?

Unfortunately, we won't get to do it in the finals.

The umpires hated us back then too. How did Leigh Matthews get a free kick for a great tackle on him? If I was an Essendon supported I'd still be boooing

Maybe just take pleasure in Collingwood being [censored] for the time being while we are on top. We can't have it all.

None of them spewed on Tom Scully on an end of season trip and set us up for the next decade in recruiting

A female president and no gaming revenue strikes a chord with a very left leaning state Government who ultimately decide our home base fate. Kate is extremely competent I'm not suggesting she is president on anything other than merit but optics are important for state Government funding.

I've wondered whether Jones might get that role myself, if we are in that position. If not imho it would be Barassi or Neitz. I can't see it being Lyon but he will MC the celebrations the following day.

I love training reports and particularly Saty's. I always think maybe we are a chance after reading them. Now we're not getting them we're sitting on top and premiership favourites.

There is one record I care about breaking last done in 1964. All I know is a close mate of mine who barracks for Essendrugs and lives in QLD told me today he's booked annual leave over GF week because he doesn't want to miss out on a Melbourne flags celebrations.

On the pitch topic in that final Melbourne got belted by West Coast we were slipping over all day and they weren't. We were out played but I'd love to know why only we were slipping over.

I love that Petracca mentions he is practising his ball drop with Yze. Sometimes on set shots he used to drop it from chest height. Trent Rivers and James Jordon will be pushing depending on how long Max keeps it for. Rivers handles the media incredibly well in interviews.

There is a correlation with sub-par players going well in the Bluey and the dees performance that year
