  1. Phew. Thanks for the math lesson. For a minute there I thought it might've been three...
  2. Yes, but with a whole game he tends to go missing. Like Milkshake, he's an impact player. Atm best as a sub
  3. 93 not exactly a big score, but in the excitement of post game, yeah sure
  4. Win or lose, I'd like to see Tommo play a blinder Reckon he's underrated, way too good for VFL
  5. Me watching Harley Reid developing alongside Trac and Clarry

    JT should let it be known that we will take the tall WA lad in the draft with pick 4 That will put the wind up WCE and get them thinking about a trade for P1. Pick 1 for 4, 16 and 22
  7. Not a lot. Missed an easy running snap from less than 10m out, made a serious play-on blunder in last that almost was turned over for goal. Think he kicked 1 goal 3 b
  8. That's just his hunchback

    My missus is doing dry July. Forgotten how pleasant she could be...
  10. Sounds like you are describing Reid! Think it will be a moot point, reckon if 1 is traded it will end up at gws. The AFL will love that
  11. Our 3 x 1sts would be about 4, 16 and 16 (2024). Still have Freo's 22 and our second plus later picks. Doubt we'll use four picks (4, 16, 22, 34) plus a late pick on young Brown For Jake Lever we paid 2 x 1st (10 and 16, I think) Pick 1 swapped for 4, 16, 16 isn't that bad a deal if Tayor considers Reid to be the stand out best player. So, Reid, picks 22 & 34 and Brown. Not bad. Imagine Reid developing alongside Tracc and Max 😉
  12. I like Tommo in the backline, he hit form vs Coll and has been playing very well at Casey. Too good not to have as one of our 3 tall backs Whist Petty is a good player, he has been injury prone this year. Get him cherry ripe for finals. Unlike others, I think there's still much potential for him as a key forward Should Tommo cement a spot with form in the next few weeks it's a great problem to have finals W1. Look at the Pies. Their depth is such that they have good players in form dropped to the magoos. And their culture under Fly has this working
  13. Whilst we all call the current set up a fixture rather than a draw, I don't see the need to drastically change something that ain't necessarily broke. 20-something games, a bye before finals and then the current finals system. Seems to work ok to me Change to a 17+6 and some sort of round robin finals is playing with 🔥
  14. Yes exactly, won't happen
  15. Wouldn't be the first time Goody has brought in a youngster due to injury who has subsequently flourished. Petty himself was brought in with little experience after Thommo went down. Bowser too, after an injury (Hunt?). Not comparing those players ability with Adams', just that the pick and development faith in Taylor, Lamb and Goodwin is well deserved
  16. Reasonable batsman, I reckon. But doesn't know when to stay in his crease. Most unusual for a keeper to get stumped!
  17. Been a long time since I've seen an experienced keeper have this terrible a test series. The contrast between he and Alex Carey could hardly been more striking

    Flemington Racecourse is on Crown land. There are pockets within the boundary that were owned by the VRC, but by and large, they have been sold to developers for high rise apartments or high density, overpriced housing
  19. I've stayed at the Art House backpackers before. Just near the ground. Their single rooms were pretty good, and I'm not a backpackers type of person
  20. Or maybe they can't wait to get out of there...
  21. That's twice against Brisbane this year that we've thrown caution into the wind and played daring, skillful footy when all looked lost in the last. Imagine if we did that for longer periods during games? An important learning to take out of this win
  22. Big shout out to Joel Smith. Makes the most of his limited opportunities, keeps putting his hand up, great versatility. Every time he goes for the ball I get flashbacks to the old man Should've come on as soon as Petty's back went.
  23. I apologize the the random guy in front of me at the game whom I hugged after the siren...
  24. The only team to have beaten both Collingwood and Brisbane this year! ❤️💙
  25. Care to elaborate @picket fence? "Rest Clarry and Fritta for the rest of the year till the new coach takes over. SHIZZEN GOODY NO FRIGGEN IDEA "
