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.
Going smaller.
We simply have to beat Adel, PA, and Coll and then get two of the other 6.
I just run a ladder predictor that had us winning against BL, Adel, PA, and Coll and had us finishing 7th with all 3 teams you mention above us… so 14 wins may not be enough for top 4…
One of the plethora of ‘stats gurus’ out there has us finishing 7th: Gawn missing, Lever injured, but Petracca, Oliver, Fritsch, Langdon, May, and Salem healthy; we should be able to compete against anyone. If we couldn’t win 4 games out of 9 to (most likely) finish top 4 - it is immeasurably harder to make a prelim and at risk of being a failed year. We should win at least 4… surely…
GWS have made inroads up here - lots of orange about. When we played them early last year, the crowd was obnoxious. Always a good sign.
Looking at the evenness of the top 12 teams and ESS, GWS and WCE threatening to beat better teams - we could see 13 wins necessary for getting in the 8 but 14 wins might get you top 4… Then the pre-finals bye makes it even more even.
Even Oliver, Gawn and May shouldn’t ‘break the bank’… The fact Petracca mid way last year signed an 8 year extension that will take him through his prime and doesn’t average more than $900k is testament to what our best players have agreed to to keep the list together. I have heard both Gawn and Petracca talk about this. Jackson would be no different, especially with Oliver OOC at the end of 2023.
You know a thread has no hope when picket fence has the most cogent and sensible contribution.
