I can’t see it but if “pinch” the next two. We are back, if take one of the next 2. I can’t see it happening.

Let’s hope this is a classic preliminary final losing year for the cats

I think he is? It’s just with an Adelaide jumper on!

I think the club was looking at it at the end of last year before he got injured again, or they didn’t have the guts to pull the trigger on it in a final.

Upon reflection. Given how flat footed and error ridden we were again by foot. Is it too audacious to hint at the fact Selwyn may have put abit of extra loading into the group to utilise the extra bye we get this year? Knowing full well we have enough talent to beat the tigers at 75-80% rat power? It’s arrogant to plan a few weeks in ahead, but maybe the club is putting more weight into the upcoming games against the Cats (who we have an extra 3 days break on) and then the blues (5 day break). These upcoming games are Top 4 shaping games. (8pt games dare I say it.)

I could agree more. I’m pretty sure I also said we could hit the side of a barn by foot? Which is what’s making me nervous going forward.

At what point did I say anything about them scoring from stoppages? The point I made was that we were smashed in them. Luckily for us our defence is out one wood. Against better sides, we can’t afford to be belted so hard at the stoppages.

You’re kidding aren’t you? The centre clearance may have been even, but everything else was deplorable.

Struggling sides give away or don’t get free kicks because they don’t play the percentages. We used to whinge about it when we were [censored].

Why? We're 5 and 2, and it has little to do with centre clearance numbers... If we let Carlton waltz it out of the middle to Curnow and McKay it won’t be 23-24 at half time. It’ll be 23-76 We also couldn’t hit the side of a barn when we did turn it over last night, can’t blame fatigue like against the lions.

We had our worst 22 or loss the round prior. Followed by our worst 43 pt win the next week. Any danger of winning a centre clearance? Or any clearances at all?

That’s two ordinary showings from Oliver in a row. He ain’t the player he was.

If he’s lucky.

And he’ll likely be injured for the entire year. That hamstring/calf seems to be blowing out and on the back of no pre season will linger..

We don’t need draft picks. We’re in the window “apparently”. We need a key or Mid sized key forward with natural forward craft.

Petty has one arm inside of an Adelaide Crows jumper. It’s clear as day!

If we are the real deal we should be coming out that with 3 wins.

I’m not worried, as @binman often points out. “We are clearly in a high density loading phase..” What the club is loading, I’ll leave that up to Demonland to elaborate on. 3 changes in 3 weeks with 2 away games in those “12 days” which isn’t 12 days as we would have had 6-7 days leading into the port game. We can’t carry Oliver if he is going to serve up that garbage.

Essendon lost again.. Cue up another Mick Warner and Robinson 6 day hatchet job about Melbournes “Drug Culture”.

The AFL should have an app that lets you sync any of the stations up to it the game. My kingdom for when fox get to call every game.

So far I think outside the Port game we”ve been favourites. The lid comes off if we beat Carlton off a 5 day break post geelong at the G.

Better man than me. There was no internal laughter on my part! All outward!

I just watched the Mitchell post game presser. He was pretty humble about his team getting their pants pulled down. His smugness came out when he said he thought Petracca wasn’t dominant today.. He’s had bigger games sure, but he walked it out of their “gun” midfield which is supposed to be their 1 wood and made them look like boys! I’ll never get sick of pumping the dorks! Watching their supporters have nothing to cheer about was the best part for me yesterday.

Is this still on tonight?
