Stiff Arm

My bomber supporting neighbour just tried to claim credit for helping the dees get back to top spot and demanded we scratch their back by beating WCE. Always thinking of others, those bombers fans!

Not sure that the racism Jim experienced in Oz is on a similar occurrence or level to the racism indigenous people experience on a near daily basis. Racism in any form is terrible, but clearly there are some groups in our society that suffer immeasurably from persistant, systematic racism. With all due respect, I hope this isn't intended to be an 'all lives matter' thread

Just starting 14 days iso at home due to covid pos case at my child's school. I have had two AZ shots, which gives me some comfort. Obviously kids not eligible yet Nobodys fault, delta variant is insidious. Not the fault of any religious beliefs, cultural differences or community ties. It's a highly contagious disease that uses evolution to change and multiply. It finds a way. We all want to blame someone, anyone, but we have to be better than that. Despite the vaccine roll out being a dogs breakfast, I urge anyone eligible for ANY vaccine to take it asap. If not for yourself, do it for the rest of us. As Peter Doherty said, if you choose not to get vaccinated, you are on the side of the virus.

Taylor looks a little like a young Charlie Sheen

Cats have inherited our yips: 8.16

Yes, both teams look knackered. Goal giants. Should be enough

C'mon Giants! Need another goal big time

Taylor having a cracking game for GWS. Bright future for him

Thought commentators said hammy?

It effects Port who are 1 win behind them. Could be the difference between us playing Port or Geelong finals week 1. Though Cats now only 4 goals behind, so % might well be moot

Goes to show that any team can put on a show if they bring intensity/pressure. Hopefully Giants crash Geelong's percentage Ideally we finish top and play Port finals week 1

And the obvious answer is: if we had 6 and our recruiting team thought he was worth pick 6 to us then yes, he could very well be taken then. Your trying to shift the goal posts by bringing potential trades or evidence before the public into your response. I simply answered the question asked, nothing more. I will leave you to it and move on, we currently don't have pick 6 anyway

Actually, it was exactly the questioned asked. If we had pick 6 in this draft would we use it on Mac Andrew? If our team thought he was worth pick 6 to us, then yes. What was never asked was should we trade pick 6 (if we had it) or use it in the draft, which is what you are hypothetically proposing.

If he was rated by our recruiting team as top 6 in draft, then yes. The draft watchers increasingly have him in the top 10 or thereabouts, which seems to be a reasonable indication, despite the factors you mention. Would be great for him to be an option at our first pick, but I won't be surprised when he isn't.

Flower's Meadow?

Goschs work starts August and ready by beginning of season next season. The elephant in the room is if there will be a toilet built next to the oval ?

It's wonderful to see Collingwood and Hawthorn stuff up coaching appointments. Couldn't have happened to a better couple of clubs.

Indeed. But the lynch mob want someone to blame. The 'facts' of the mysterious removalist's trip seem to change, depending upon which media outlet is reporting, or the shifting attitude of public figures like Jerome. The real details may never be made public. So much for the book being thrown at them. That speaks volumes Whilst I am very disappointed this highly infectious virus strain leaked back into Victoria, I am also sad for the family of the removalist brothers who lost their matriarch to COVID after she apparently turned away offers of help and died at home alone.

Agreed. Conversion has been poor all year. Now its catching up on us. We are incredibly wasteful of the great work our backline has been doing

Really? Been following us long? Season is far from cooked. We can turn this around.

Jackson for Weid. Probably won't occur, but needs to. Would like to see Bowey in somewhere. Max was underwhelming this week, only 2 marks.

We need to deliver well to our forwards and give up the blazing long bombs

Outclassed by the better team. As is usual, we made the least of our terrible inside 50s. Doggies overlap and clean hands were a lesson for us to take note of Had a poor month, no doubt. We can do better.
