Bring-Back-Powell

The quintessential list clogger.

And what's the deal with almost all AFL players wearing their socks down (aside from Buddy, Walker, Daniher and a few ruckman). The last Dees to wear socks up were Davey and Jamar off memory. What happened to the days of "Socks up, jumpers tucked in!"

I think it's about time Fitzroy copped a game down there. Even Collingwood have been down there since.

Great point with Melksham. Anzac eve last year he kicked 4 and kept Rance honest.

That was one of the big stories of last weekend. T Mac was absolutely slaughtered last week by Rance. A very poor performance from him, albeit coming off minor surgery. Needs to rebound this week. A lot our premiership hopes rest on T Mac's shoulders and we can ill afford a down year from him. Would like to see more of an even and consistent performance this week. Last week we went from a million bucks in the first qtr to letting Richmond waltz out of our defence with absolutely no pressure in the middle two qtrs. Our comeback in the last qtr coincided with Martin, Cotcin and possibly Prestia being rested.

if he misses 4 weeks, he'll be available for our game - although they could bring him back through the VFL?? But yeah, potentially a handy out.

Are there any toys left in Hogan’s cot or have they all been thrown out before the final siren.

I wasn't impressed with Hunt's game and it was a step backwards from last week. Yes, he laid a brilliant tackle that Goodwin would've loved, but he did not provide even one dash from half back which is his point of difference as a player. Just an ineffective and nothing game from him.

I was encouraged by our last qtr comeback but then realised Martin and Cotchin were off the ground for most of, if not all of the last qtr.

Most certainly the Ponsford/City end.

Will it ever be?

Round 1 1994 V's Geelong. From memory a hot one...and a hot 65 pint win.

It should be mandatory for our players to dress up like this bloke, pre and post game.

Devon Smith Premier: Richmond

Geez we like to our conveniently changes our opinions around here whenever it suits: General opinion of Hogan before October 2018 - "An absolute star of the game who's so far ahead of Daniher, Patton, Ben Brown and Tom Boyd it's not even funny. Will be a once in a generation player and we're so lucky to have him" General opinion of Hogan after October 2018 - A poor man's Paddy McCartin with on-field attitude problems.

I totally understand the reasoning for his omission from the PF side as he was physically shot, but I'm sure 6 Fristch kicks would've been of more value than Tyson's whopping 3 for the day.

Mahoney in yesterday’s telecast suggested that Oliver and T Mac will likely play JLT 1 v Richmond.

How many are Collingwood missing?

Geelong loss after the siren last year was my most heart breaking. Seen way too many train wrecks down there and that game put me over the edge. The drive home from Geelong to Pakenham (12:30am) that night was not great.

I'm still filthy (as should he) he was overlooked in the prelim, meanwhile Tyson jogged around and picked up a massive 3 kicks and 1 tackle for the game. Hopefully he can take his game to another level year this year as he has class written all over him.

Great news. He's one bloke we don't want missing round 1.

We play Collingwood, Richmond and West Coast a total of 6 times. Last year the games were over at 3 qtr time against all of those side as we had poor losses (Bar the memorable rd 22 win. Top 4 rests on those games.

What a horrible problem to have.

That we've had a soft pre-season compared to others??

Nathan Jones basically played down this up-coming match Vs Collingwood as a glorified training session. I wouldn't be surprised if there's no scoring.
