He was that good, then he got injuries, they had a cheaper alternative and now they’re moving on. We tried to do the same to Tom McDonald after 2020, we’re trying to do it with Tomlinson, that’s footy. 
 

The Treloar situation was a bit different because they asked him to be back ended, then slandered him in the press when they wanted him offloaded. 

Definitely. Treloar was back ended. The Grundy contract means Collingwood get rear ended🤣

I can't believe nobody's asked the biggest question of all yet.

If everybody 'knows' Valvoline is the best oil, why do they have to keep telling us?

Anyway, that's enough for me - got other things to do, I'm off to install a Rheem, install a Rheem, install a Rheem

Pick 8

He was pick 3

I give up

This deal has now become what can the the Anchors dig up

Agreed. They would need to include a tonne of lube in that deal

Freo Bradshaw didn't have the best finish o the season.

Neale as pointed out ha no competition in the midfield, its him and daylight at the lions.

Oliver still may, he had a great finish to the season, even in our losses. 

 

That's just not true. Neale has to contend with Jarrod 'Please don't hurt me Clayton' Berry.

It was nicely written but he read it like he has permanent brain damage 

Reminds me of that ad 'Mate, did you get a head knock on the weekend?'

If you take out the Geelong game where he must’ve been injures as he only got 4 touches, he averaged 24.3 touches across 7 games. 

Pretty good, but like I mentioned, he didn't have the same injury issues as Howes.

This thread isn't about Howes though, so that's all I'll say on it. I'm on record with my thoughts on him, so happy to have this discussion middle of next year.

I reckon 4 or 5 of those frees in 2021 were in the GF too!

 

 

.......if he got 4 or 5 frees in the 2022 Grand Final, I'd be very happy.

Correct, he received 4 in the GF. Prior to that he'd only been paid 7 from 12 games as a Demon.

Not sure what this is based on to be honest. He’s played 7 games for Casey in 22. He’s averaging less that 14 disposals per game and kicked 3 goals. Hasn’t had one game over 20 possessions. 
 

That’s not screaming that he’s ready for the next level to me.

 

 

Fair enough, it's a big call, but I'm running with it, happy for you to hold it to me.

What was Bowey's VFL record like before he got picked? I wonder what his stats would look like had he had the same injury issues as Howes

I don't think that's how it works.

As soon as he is in red and blue he'll barely get another free for his career.

BBB the perfect example of that

Really ? I've watched a fair bit of Casey this season and while he has shown a bit - physically looks a fair way off AFL ready to me 

 

First year player and had significant injury concerns. Looks to me like he has the tools and the desire to succeed at AFL level. I know a lot of other clubs supporters that spotted him before the draft and were dirty we got him. A big off season and I think he'll explode next year.

He hasn't nominated a club yet has he? Hawthorn are the front runners allegedly but we are said to be in the conversation as well. As we're still playing finals, the longer he takes to nominate could be an indication that he's leaning towards the dees.

Do we need him, and the salary that goes with it? I think Blake Howes will start 2023 Rnd1 as the other wingman, and stay there all year

Got a  chance to walk out on the surface. 

There are patchy areas, some grass is brownish, a little less growth in places, and the line can be seen between the slabs. Feels firm underneath and generally well levelled. 

They are still not out, perhaps an 11 o'clock start.

Happy watching the storm go about it.

Still waiting, if not by 11.30 I'm out.

The training cart has turned up.

There will be a session.

That'll be Viney marking his territory

Battle of the big brutes, Mitch Brown Vs Mac Andrew 🤣

Gee Mac Andrew is a beanstalk

So much for a couple of years at GCS to bulk up and then come home.

Has anyone noticed a certain bald headed umpire? Obviously been demoted back to the VFL. Can't imagine why....

Anyone having problems with WatchAFL app? Was working fine then started dropping out, right about the same time the rubbish frees took over

You know the ones I'm talking about.  Those 4 in the second quarter that Geelong kicked in about 1 and a half minutes of playing time.  Those 4 that almost cost us the minor premiership.

I remember myself getting very angry during that particular period because of what seemed at first watch to be several non-calls but until tonight I haven't had a chance to have a second look.  I actually wondered if I had imagined the non-calls due to the peak excitement of the moment, but on closer examinination (using Kayo Slomo), I wasn't imangining anything.

Goal 1 (~6:10 left on the clock) - A boundary throw in on Geelongs half forwardline.  Clear throw by Selwood that a few disposals later ends in a Hawking goal.  Was picked up in some media.

Goal 2 (5:33 left on clock) - Danger runs 20m+ without bouncing then kicks the goal.  It's well established that the width of the mowed stripes is 10m (check it for yourself using the 5 stripes from the 50m line to the goal line).  He takes a mark right in the middle of a light green stripe, then plays on, running all the way to half through the next light green stripe (half a light, a full dark, then another half light), so easy to work out he ran at least 20m (he didn't run straight towards goal).  Counting steps was harder because he puts in lots of fast small steps, but I count about 17 full running strides, which works out to about 22m.

Goal 3 (5:25 left on clock) - Danger again runs 17-18m before handpassing which a for possesions later ends with Close(?) kicking the goal.  Starts half way through the lighter green again and disposes 2 or 3m into the next light green stripe.  Not a great deal over the 15m, but it still could/should have been called.

Goal 4 (5:05 left on clock) - This one I'm far less certain of but it looks like a throw by Danger.  50:50 really.  Rohan marks and goals in the same passage.

 

9 goals in a row was very worrying and still is, but we were desperately unlucky for at least 2 or 3 of them.

 

Yep I had to go back and watch to see why we leaked so badly. They probably kicked 2 decent goals. The rest were umpire screw ups, total flukes, and a couple of our errors. Just glad we were able to reel them in.

Fair dinkum, how [censored] good are we.

Only 14 points down at 3/4 time, with a free kick count of 20-7 against.

That's almost impossible.

Can someone remind me again, about the dogs recent record at Docklands. Please

Fair dinkum, if you work in Marketing at Pizza Hut, you should be sacked. Biggest opportunity I've ever seen
