Bring-Back-Powell

We’re asleep at the wheel.

He looked really promising in those two games in Sydney but in the Lions game the week after he just didn't have the intensity for AFL and missed a sitter he'd normally kick in his sleep. Are we confident he'll be on the list next year? He has a 1 year contract right?

Still have nightmares about round 22 last year. Swans have won 14 of the last 17 meetings. Heeney is a massive out for them. The Fritsch comment is interesting. Wasn't he on the verge of re-signing a month ago? Maybe all's not well after last week's incident.

Hell yeah we're jealous. We're jealous of the rest of Australia who can enjoy the basic level of freedom. We can't even cross the street without wearing a mask. We can't even take out our bins after 8pm without getting arrested. Yes. We're jealous, snaky, over it, and fed up with it all.

Touching on the bigger issues. I like it.

That's terrific news.

Grand final to be held at Adelaide Oval as a back up.

How can they lock in a grand final right now when QLD could easily see a spike in cases over the next 2 months?

Anyone know if the weather in Cairns will be as oppressive as Darwin? 26 degrees with 80% humidity at kick off. And we have to all it all again 4 days later. Very concerned we'll either drop a winnable game in Cairns or put in a listless display against GWS (as per Port game). These blokes are fit, but can they overcome this fixture cram? I'm giving this side an absolute out/excuse if we miss finals. Alice - Cairns - Cairns in 9 days while other sides have mostly stayed in QLD. Bulldogs - 10 of their final 12 games in Surfers or Brisbane St Kilda - 9 of their final 12 games in Surfers or Brisbane North - 11 of their final 12 games in Surfers or Brisbane Brisbane - Will leave QLD twice for the entire season FCS!! This season is a bit of a video game if you ask me. Just make it up as they go.

That is the most ridiculous thing I've heard since COVID started. Footy will be back in Victoria next year unless the VIC government blow it again. IN - Fritsch, Hunt OR Neal-Bullen Out - Hannan, Pickett (like the kid but he needs a rest. Bring him back Monday night) If Hibberd doesn't get up, Lockhardt in. I wonder who gets the job on Papley?

I’m surprised more of that was spoken about on Sat night. We’ve been pinged so many 50’s for encroaching the protected area with Melksham being the serial offender. That Kent play was so close to resulting in a 50mtr penalty and possible loss.

Yeah I’m not 100% we fly in fly out but someone mentioned we are so I assume that’s the case.

In hindsight you'd probably go Petracca over McCartin.

Agreed. You can just sense that there will be one game that we'll be severely fatigued and as flat as a pancake and it will cost us a win. Could even be as early as the Freo game. I'm annoyed we have to fly-in-fly-out for the 2 Cairns games. Feels like we've made as many sacrifices as anyone with the scheduling. I see a few VIC teams have'n't really left the QLD hub. At least we get GWS when they have a 4 day break. Hopefully we play Essendon on at least a 7 day break (for us) which will probably be a "Win and In" game for us.

Is Fritsch a certainty? I quite enjoyed not having to put up with his momentum killing behinds.

The media haven’t picked up on the fact that he’s been an outstanding recruit and has completely filled a need we were crying out for - competitive winger that stays involved the entire game. If Richmond or Geelong recruited him the media would be all over him.

Just to add to the Harmes debate: He got 9 coaches votes as a midfielder in round 23 2018. (V GWS) He got 8 coaches votes as a midfielder in the week 1 elimination final 2018 (V Geelong) Now our master mind of a coach drops a valuable midfielder who’s been playing out of position since August 2019.

Why the bloody heck am I so happy after a Geelong win?

Wasn’t J Wagner recruited purely on being a lethal kick. Hope he shows it tomoz.

I’d say we got the Doggies in the middle of a hot streak for them. They’ll likely cool off later in the season or in finals.

Cmon Geelong, wake the freak up! 12-0

Looks extremely out of shape at the moment. Longmuir was less than complimentary in his assessment of Hogan at the moment and his scratch match form.

Hunt’s probably a logical replacement for Fritsch. Fast on the lead and a good over head mark like Fritsch. And we get an upgrade in accuracy. However Hunt has way less involvement than Fritsch, particularly in the marking department.

With Fritsch out who’s now going to kick all our behinds?

Injured or dropped? Surely injured. That's a shame as we lose an option up forward.
