Poor Tomlinson couldn’t get the game against his old mob. Petty is such an important player for us - the Gorilla tamer to aide May.

Forget the fans, the FD brought him in for a QF. So go have a go at Richo and co.

That’s a bold number. You’re getting sick of these?

Yeah, that’s the ‘sound the alarm’ vids on the AFL website of snippets of all 4 qtr. we allowed a lot, the Dogs not so much…

That’s what people said before the last one and yet plenty of people signed up before it was finalised. And also we recently signed Petracca until 2029 - the best player in the league - so I don’t see a finalised CBA as a large dependency.

Seems to be getting smaller.

Oh, and we shouldn’t be throwing the magnets around - we should be rewarding players that have trained positions and have an understanding that the reward is an opportunity in those positions. After that fails then you can throw magnets.

GWS have the ruck, Riccardi, Himmelberg and Hogan. I can see them having May, Tomlinson and Smith for those three and Lever on the resting mid or coniglio to free him up. Might be Hunt out…

I won’t bag you but a champion player chose us to come to, helped us overachieve, continued to help his former teammates years after he left as they won a flag, and refers to himself as a former Hawthorn and Melbourne player. Perhaps it’s time to recollect differently.

We will blast through 60k. 70k will be a shake from here… maybe next year. Just amazing.

I thought he got 5 weeks? That would mean he is back.

Seems Like-It

You are halfway through ‘one’ beer?

I don’t judge him poorly on his performance, I judge him on his effort, and the spots he gets to (or doesn’t get to), and the ball watching he does around contests that makes him irrelevant for the next contest. This is not performance, it is knowing your role and executing what you have to do for your team. Brown got smashed for it last year and dropped until he realised what he needed to do. Looks like Sam will never realise. Onto Jacob van Rooyen…

Neither of these teams are troubling us in this current form. Worried, loose, haphazard movement, skill deficiencies…

Watching Neale kick chase and not GAF about whether he is in the right spots makes me amazed with the progress of Petracca and Oliver. They are stars because of the kicks they don’t chase.

It’s like Jazz. If I have to explain it - you’ll never get it.

This was edited to make it ‘less’ harsh? What did it say to begin with…

That’s selling Angus short - unlike Williams, Angus has actually excelled as a mid. I don’t get the need to clip someone you also intend to keep? But whatever, I hope we can manage the cap and keep that core group together.

It is the subtext in every second Gus & Gawny podcast - he would be a top 2 mid at other teams but is behind CP5, Oliver and Viney at the Dees. It is not just his role but also his pay - we won’t pay him like other teams because of the role he is playing, and also because Jackson and Oliver must be kept over the next two years as they come out of contract. I hope he stays but we are going to lose a best 18 player IMO - pick your poison. I am just going to enjoy the year and I suggest you nervous nellies do the same.

Competing well probably would be in the notes. He didn’t play well, he was not in the right spots and also allowed clean marks from his opponent. They may keep him in this week but that performance is not going to be rewarded long term.

I don’t quite understand the value of NFTs but can’t deny the money flying about. Probably best to hedge bets and explore it.

For all his faults, Adam’s fitness and ability to go with any forward ‘workhorse’ makes him pretty valuable. Especially with rotations being squeezed.

This is an amazing post; start with an anti stats cliche and then through analysis convince the reader of the merit of the particular stat that you have questioned, even ridiculing it as obvious…
