He really was perfect back up to Max; strong, capable, not pushing for games, and a ripping bloke from what I have heard. Loved how he talked about how much he enjoyed being ‘a part of the premiership last year’ and the juxtaposition of that attitude and of our FB is not lost on me. Teams don’t win flags, clubs do.

Papers. His manager got laughed at for not signing $2.2m/3 year deal (although I think this may have more to do with Ben and how his family were treated in 2020). The number that ‘he left on the table’ was a $1m - so he is on around $400k.

BBB’s role with no other recognised talk forward becomes even more important, difficult, and unrewarding. He know has to shoulder most of the load being the out kick up the wing, which gets him out of the forward line and leading at the footy. If you ever ask yourself ‘Where’s BBB??’ - was there a long kick to a contest 5 seconds before? Jackson helps with this, and Gawn and Jackson will allow BBB to actually spend some time forward other than when there is a stoppage and we can reset everyone. Biased, because I am a forward, but he played on one of the best defenders in the game and drew him out and allowed us to have 38 scoring shots. This team is about roles and BBB was performing his role, something that someone has to do while TMac is out.

Reported $400k till 2024. Absolute bargain.

He was practicing a new lower ball drop before the game. The problem is his field kicking has that high release and it is fine. I think his bigger issue with his set shots is that he doesn’t get into a consistent momentum in the lead up to a kick. My mantra for goal kicking is to never lean back and also drive through with some momentum. The rest of it is up to decades of predisposition and what people are comfortable with.

Ahhhh this takes me back to Octobers of old…

She mentioned the ‘fabulous crowd’ on Saturday on 3AW, and said well done to Melbourne supporters ‘especially considering Richmond only got 21k a few weeks prior.’

It was umpired like a final. Less than 30 frees paid - nothing soft, no afters were paid, aggressive 50/50s were let go. So glad I spent the money to come down to see that game.

Maybe you say in the wrong area. We would have 25k there at least.
Forward half pressure game is back! Finally. The ball movement was clicked into play as soon as Ben Brown tried a risky kick into the corridor and from there we took the game on and had some fun. That’s awesome footy to watch live. Ahhhhh. Jackson superb. Viney strong. Oliver inevitable. I like this smaller line up if we don’t have TMac; Bedford was great. We look quick, dangerous, and relentless.
No Max. You can play against Geelong down at Mordor. They can take care of Adelaide. No change.
I saw you guys there! Great night.
I heard he was dead halfway through the first…
Dominant display. Yeah, nah, let’s get some picks for him.
Not too late to join me at the G! The chips are good! And the pies, well they are certainly pies! Yessir, pies they are! See you here!
8.5 hours from me. Still too close.
There’s a ‘pro-rata’ dispensation that we get that is more than the average bear. There is also special assistance. I believe we don’t receive the latter atm, but do receive the former and we get more than a number of clubs.
Was handy in the 3rd in the Granny…
Literally not true and also never true really.
Would be great if we can grab him… will require a departure though.
If he leaves it’s because he wants to go home. The money will not be much more. Let’s just ease up on the kid.
Back up ruck is the role Sam plays well in my view. Less pressure to be the focal point, his ruck craft is good for a part timer, and it gets his mindset to be more competitive around the footy.
