I doubt it. Petracca on the Sunday Footy Show was asked by Barrett that question and he was incredulous; I ran past Gawny and said “alright get up” and thought ‘you can’t be doing that, he’s 5’7 and you’re 6’11, c’mon mate’… 32.15 mins in

Losing a game is not the end of the world. The unfurling will be remembered as it’s own thing.

At least it is clear. Some hide behind state advice for venues and the like that constantly changes.

What ‘they’ have done in 7 years is utterly staggering. Documentary worthy. 30 for 30 type stuff

He’s a favourite of the pundit class, I hate the cheap stuff he gets - even that stupid hand off he effed up that led to Brayshaws goal - why are you getting that ball there, Caleb?

If it’s a cash decision - the game against the Dogs in Rd 7 is going to get a good time a lot and 75k fans - the Rd 1 unfurling of the flag against GWS will also get 60k+ fans. So why not stretch those out? And members yes, but fans no. Blockbusters will mean people will miss out that want to go - that’s why they are block busters. I would do it Saturday arvo/twilight and celebrate with no other game on anywhere during the day with Port Adelaide. We’d get 80k I would say.

TBH, I don’t like the idea of unfurling the flag in front of the GF losers. I would not like that at all if they did that in 2001. Secondly, Friday night games are not exactly family friendly. I would prefer we play an interstate team during the day and get as many Demons along as want to come. Of course, we shouldn’t say no to a blockbuster but I think the club pushing for this is misguided.

The worst thing that could have happened for Daniel in that instance is if Oliver continued past him and got the ball back from sparrow. His mids [censored] the bed up the field and there wasn’t much he could do. I think he played that well, he forced a handball from Oliver and a u-turn kick of one step by sparrow.

We only have 4 spots left. If they want to leave one open for Feb, that makes three and suddenly if Woewodin is who they want then just take him.

So we can take 4 at the draft then? They should just abolish the rookie list. Ridiculous and thoroughly useless demarcation of players. My only question is 17, 37 and 49 with a spot left for an addition later in pre-season?

I would like our first home game to be at the G against Freo or GCS or GWS. 90k opportunities for Dees fans to do something that hasn't happened for 57 years and has only happened 13 times in 124 years.

When he came to the club I knew that something was different - rarely were we chosen by players - especially up and coming stars of the game. Great leader.

Yes, their talent is like the elves in lord of the rings; their time has come to an end, and they will soon move to the undying lands. Which of course is Fox Footy.

Of all the players with a medal it’s Jack and Max that I feel so happy for after they were so affected and impacted by our malaise. He is such a footy player, what a great bull he is.

Helped turn the GF when in the ruck, future star of the game. I wouldn’t have taken a ruck at ND3 but he is so much more than that.

This is your month

Interrupted season but effective. Bought into a role that sees little midfield time - great for him, he has a flag for it.

Best halfback in the game in my eyes, best kick in the team and hard as a rock. Was great to see his mum singing the song - just a lovely totem to new Australia.

Wonderful player that got the most out of himself and others around him. Obviously part of the renaissance of the club and should be revered for his joining the eras of success even if he didn’t see the ultimate in either.

Yes, Goodwin is the star of the show in Burgess’s mind. Loved how he spoke about the fact that he was trusted to do his job and not questioned. My biggest takeaway had more to do with the EPL having a massive gap in the areas that Goodwin is so great at. If I was to advise any of the rich people, or in the case of Newcastle United, flagrant murderers who own EPL clubs - it would be this organisational culture that is where their deficiencies seem to lie.

@Mydeethe Hawks are too consumed by hubris to alter behaviour. Especially if suggested by a Melbourne person.

This ‘flat out before finals’ or ‘large training loads before finals’ has been so often repeated on here without a source. From what I can tell from what the players say and Goodwin and what Burgess says in that pod, we just train hard all the time. And we did the same thing during our earned ‘bye’ weeks in the finals. Goodwin just has a premium on training intensity and valuing every session and the players look to have bought into it. The Petracca mention about his 2020 pre-season being a stand out and then everyone came up to his level in 2021 pre-season was indicative of that buy in.

That was great, made me go back and listen to his ‘time at Arsenal’ pod and wow, he doesn’t go into specifics but he was set up to fail. So happy we had him for as long as we did and he loved his time at the club. Big part of why the team excelled and why our best players were at their peak.

Did you listen to the podcast?

Umm, that sub money helps Andy keep the place going. I don’t think the ad revenue is that much really. And ads these days - unless you have a VPN - is you get ads for things that reflect what you google or search for in FB and the like… Just sayin’
