Surely it was tongue in cheek, having a laugh.

We'll win on Tuesday. Just checked the forecast and the poor darlings won't have to suffer in the drizzle like last week. Tuesday 24 April Summary Min 16 Max 24 Partly cloudy. Chance of any rain: 20% Melbourne area Partly cloudy. Slight (20%) chance of a shower later in the day. Winds northerly 15 to 20 km/h.

This bloke will not be dropped. Aside from being one of Goody's pets, we need his arrogance as per the above picture taken in Anzac Eve V2

Yes I was extremely tough and unfair on Fritsch as he was trying in the last qtr compared to about 18 others. However, he's having little influence on games apart from the odd nice cameo and may have to make way for Hannan to mix things up. Such is the tough position that is the forward pocket. Some have Garlett on the chopping block, but he survives purely because he has a proven track record of responding after a horrid performance....and that was horrid V's Hawks.

Probably means that one of the serial 2018 under performers like Harmes, Melksham, ANB, Bugg or even Fritsch will be spared the axe.

Tom Lynch of the Gold Coast variety to us. Jesse Hogan and Angus Brayshaw to Freo. Gold Coast to get some mint draft picks from Freo and possibly Melbourne. Sauce - none. Just made it up.

If there's training today hopefully someone can report if Garlett is ok. Hopefully there's nothing to read into him being listed on the extended bench.

Probably missed out in the top 8 by some stupid Champion Data metric. Much like Collingwood supposedly having a top 3 midfield.

Or at least even money. Their form line is no worse than ours and have had the tougher fixture todate.

I hope for his sake, that his JLT form doesn't end up being the highlight of his year.

Thanks guys, what a brilliant deal. Got the offical 2018 media polo and a fleece hoodie for a total of just $100 and free delivery.

What's the promo code? Your MFC membership number? Edit - just saw at bottom of screen.

Is this good or bad news? That's a lot of revenue that will need to be found else where.

Kicking 3 goals against a bottom 4 side in a 50 point home game win is hardly an amazing performance. But if Watts kicks 4 goals in a winning BOG performance at the SCG next week and we lose to Geelong and Brisbane I'm seriously going to lose my [censored].

JKH is the quintessential list clogger. A 5 year player that's no where near round 1 selection.

Until he consistently starts ripping apart the VFL (which you'd hope starts this year) he won't be getting too many games in the seniors. I'm assuming we passed up Charlie Curnow purely based on behavioral issues.

Hopefully not at the expense of Garlett which some around here have been mooting.

I’ll reserve judgment until after round 3 and see if Tom Hawkins and Ben Brown have kicked their obligatory 6 goals each on us.

It would be an absolute diabolical failure. So much so that Goodwin's position should be put in question. The media and opposition supporters are talking us up like we're a genuine top 4 side. We have to back that up in order to get some respect. We just simply cannot afford to miss the finals again after the pain, hurt and suffering that the players, staff and supporters endured after that round 23 weekend. It would take a Hogan, Oliver, Gawn, Lever, Petracca type injury affected year to even think about dishing out the excuses.

Pretty good effort considering his career best is 4.

I disagree. High contact is high contact. Correct call IMO. If Salem was on the other end we would've been screaming blue murder that he didn't get a free.

I was actually worried Salem (yet again) might have had a case to answer for in the 3rd qtr. Gave a free kick away with an elbow to the head after a centre bounce but he was in possession of the ball. An AFLW player copped a week for something similar recently.

I would've preferred we reverted back to our original clash jumper of 2004-2005 as per below. We would still keep our traditional colours and not divert to white (which everyone seems to hate).

I'm disappointed. I must be the only one who likes a white clash jumper every now and then. The royal blue one sounds crap.

A fair fall from grace for the OX. From calling the 2008 grand final on channel 7 to being sacked from an afternoon radio program.
