  1. Umpire sucked into a 50 Good acting Charlie
  2. Could hear someone in the crowd yelling "sign the contract, Jackson!!!" after he kicked that goal! Lol!
  3. Port mids running hard and reaping the rewards. We spent much of that quarter chasing
  4. We can't buy an effective clearance
  5. Thank god Kossie knows how to deliver i50
  6. I wish BT would STFU
  7. Had a teamate running into the goal square on his own 🤷
  8. And a tip truck load of chicken poo?
  9. Just heard Chunk on Ch 7 use the term "versing" Urghh!!!
  10. Let's hope its only Petty out with Covid protocols. Looking at the ins and outs for other matches we might be fortunate to have only one infection. Going to be a tough couple of months for some teams
  11. I wonder if the AFL will force WCE to keep their first pick rather than trade it, due to not using enough 1st rounders. If, and a big if, Dogga requested a trade to Freo and they played hard ball, WCE currently with pick 2 would be the natural plan B. I reckon HQ would want WCE to use pick 2 and get Dogga
  12. Great work Pickett Fence. Well spotted re Petty and Laurie 👍
  13. Clearly you didn't pay attention, old55
  14. Exactly, and I highly doubt his kicking inside 50 will be hospital long bombs! I'm sure there are reasons unknown to us as to why Kossie hasn't been given more runs through the middle this year. Hopefully he does this week and makes the most of it 🤞
  15. In one way, Pickett is too good a player to drop, so giving him time in the middle gets him involved more, builds his confidence and adds an X factor which differs from Tracc, Viney and the other mids
  16. I like two things in particular: - Max is named at chf - Kossie is named in the midfield Not that the magnet on the board means they will play there, but it gives me hope they might

    Management bluff. He won't leave the Swans. AFL won't let it happen. They'll cough up the difference if need be - 'ongoing marketing allowance'

    Not hard to fix If first contact in tackle is legal, its HTB or play on If player rises or leads with head, its play on Can someone tell me why contact with top of shoulder is deemed high contact if they don't contact the players head? Or if the contact to side of head is so minimal that its difficult to detect by the naked eye? I see this in ruck and marking contests where there's an arm over the shoulder (eg spoil attempt) but making no real head contact. Surely the rule is head high contact

    I thought I saw footage of Bowey getting into his car and driving himself there. Would make sense so as to minimise spread of covid, flu, fan gossip, etc

    Yeah, those bus drivers love to wind us up...

    Don't think Brown should be dropped, not without Tmac in the side. Brown needs more support and better kicks coming into 50, not long bombs on top of his head If JVR comes in, I'd have Max playing majority as a forward so JVR takes the 3rd best defender, otherwise he'll get slaughtered. Dogga rucks 70-80% Happy for JVR to be given a game over Weid if they think he's ready Also give Kossie spells in the middle, get him involved more
  22. Interesting. I was told similar by a fitness person from another club where Williams has been Doesn't explain May's disposal issues, but our disposal on the whole has been poorer this year
  23. Yep, Andrew B is happy at Freo and he's their no 1 untouchable and best player. Besides, he'd be worth far more than Dogga in any trade Remember Carlton fans saying Oliver to Blues was a lock? Lol!
  24. Dogga ruck majority Gawn KPF majority and to be barking at the mids to lower their eyes Laurie in, form at VFL should be rewarded Flip a coin as to Pickett, Bedford or Spargo to be out. Prob Bedford as he's most junior. But Spargo and Kossie will need a kick up the clacker very soon Assuming he plays, I'd give Kossie time in the middle, get him more involved. He's also creative with i50 delivery
