Agreed. I'd have hoped Melb were significantly better than Adeliade's best, given we are 4th and hoping for another flag But 4 points is always a good outcome

CB for what? I said they are 13th, or is that incorrect?

Really, where did I do that? I simply said they were 13th on the ladder

Plus % Having lost today, they are one game plus % away from 4th last Hypotheticals work both ways!

And Crows got done by the Suns, Dogs, Tigers, and nearly by the Hawks That logic can be used both ways

Adelaide are 13th

Last comment from me. If you are happy with giving up a very good lead in the last, then I'm pleased for your distorted maths I find a come from behind win against a top 3 side more inspiring than nearly giving up a 4 goal lead into the last against a bottom 8 team. That's my preferred maths! Cheers

Thankfully for @picket fence 😉

Ridiculous hyperbole, or do I need to explain that as well? The closer to the finals, the more important the context. And we are faaaaar from comparable to Collingwood

Coll aren't 4th and haven't lost to Freo, GWS and Essendon The context and comparison aren't the same. False equivalence That's the difference

If I have to explain it to you then there's something wrong. All good teams will get the better of you at some point in the game. A better team will not easily give up a decent lead. A good team will come back from 4 or 5 goals down in the last. We need to be consistent more often to win the flag this year. As we were in 2021

There's s difference between winning a close game being well ahead and winning coming from behind like last week. Today was underwhelming

Phew. Thanks for the math lesson. For a minute there I thought it might've been three...

Yes, but with a whole game he tends to go missing. Like Milkshake, he's an impact player. Atm best as a sub

93 not exactly a big score, but in the excitement of post game, yeah sure

Win or lose, I'd like to see Tommo play a blinder Reckon he's underrated, way too good for VFL

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

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

That's just his hunchback

My missus is doing dry July. Forgotten how pleasant she could be...

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

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 😉

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
