Flag 2021

Closed sessions doesn't make a lot of sense when there are drones available.

How did we move from picks 6 and 11 to picks 7 and 13?

Tough at the selection table this week. If Cox plays we must select Grundy (sorry). I hear T Mac is cherry ripe so he's in. Wouldn't like to drop Laurie. Judd McVee hasn't lowered his colours to anybody this year and he can sort Elliot. Melks and Turner out (sorry again) with Smithy as sub.

I've said it before and I'll say it again Judd McVee is a limousine cruising out of our backline garage. Has barely lowered his colours all season and played on the best of the best.

Can somebody rip the Yank's goggles off? Put their knees into him like he did to Max QB2022? I despise him, he's a bog ordinary bully.

It will be good to see Disco get a run even though I think Tomo has been serviceable. Don't know why Laurie was picked for a single game - and he wasn't too bad (but not exciting) and needs to find his feet at senior level - so should have been given another run. None of our small forwards had impact on last week's game and he was just as quiet as Kozzie and Kade.

Of course if Port tank then they will end up 4th and avoid going to Brisbane.

In cricket the batsman gets the benefit of the doubt in a close call but in footy the decision is the opposite and the goal kicker does not get that benefit.

The Tigers are tanking.

Where is the side pinned up? I can't find it.

I freely admit that I was sceptical about Milkshake's return after the Fritta injury but he has established himself as an integral part of our (recently) developed forward structure. So much so that - and I know I'll cop it for saying this - Jake should remain in the side instead of him. He apples more pressure than Fritta fo one thing and for another we should not try to squeeze Fritta back into a fully functioning forward setup. Can't [play them both in the same team for mine. Besides, Jake can't be far off 100 games for us. And on a completely unrelated topic : will Richmond be in trouble for tanking this round. They pulled Cotchin which is maybe OK but Dusty? Resting him at this stage of the year? Come off i!

If Tom Sparrow is good to go you'd bring him in for the guy who replaced him - Harmesy.

Don't disagree on Petty forward and have pushed for this before, BUT....how fit is he? That's my concern.

I'm with Demon Spurs and have Petty as the sub and leave Smith forward; he did a pretty good job. Therefore the bench is [40] Taj Woewodin, [41] Judd McVee, [29] Joel Smith and maybe [4] Harmesy who has failed to perform recently. Give Grundy another week's spell.

Re Bailey Fritsch ; my 8 year old grand daughter heard his name as Baby Fish. Around here, that's what we call him!

Judd McVee is a limousine cruising out of our backline garage. A beautiful mover.

For the statisticians - is this the first time a player has kicked 4 goals in a match and his team has hit the post 4 times as well?

I wouldn't have dropped Joel Smith but I think he is a good choice as the sub.

Jack Viney was enormous today. Judd McvVee is a limousine cruising out of our back line garage. Toss-up for worst disposal between Trac and Harmesy.

A free kick to us when the umpire called a throw with the Freo player with his back to the umpire and one agaist Salem for holding!! (Both in the first quarter.) It's so much a darn lottery out there with umpiring - so many random calls.

MFC get pushed around by the AFL. They have us in the gun at the moment with weekly citing of players on pretty dodgy grounds for doing so. Maxie gets pushed around, punched, pummelled and prodded most weeks but his team mates don't fly the flag for him when they should be racing to his side. The Demons are soft and compliant.

I haven't seen it mentioned but Tommo would have to be in consideration for this game. Be nice to see JS finally give a strong performance and it will be between these two to replace Harrison Petty.

Deemonic has it : all players should wear helmets. Junior footballers have to.

He can take a mark and he can kick straight.

I still like May forward if JVR is burnt.
