Chook

At Melbourne I feel like we have enough of those types of players. On form, we have the best in the competition.

Jake Lever couldn't have put it better himself.

I just reckon he needs another couple of preseasons. He has a lot of nonna's cooking to work off yet.

He was BOG in this game last year. We were gone against the Pies in QB2017 before Trac showed up and went beast-mode on them.

He said he got off social media, but he never said anything about getting off anti-social media. Demonland's a lock for that.

Runs a VERY good time trial though.

Pretty sure it was against Adelaide the first time.

We'd need an Italian surely. Orazio Fantasia. Marcus Bontempelli. Petracca?

I don't see how anyone could be against this and still be in search of equalisation.

If I were Lever after doing my knee, I'd be curled up in the foetal position crying my eyes out at how the world is so unfair. 22, and just going about his business as usual. This bloke is so mature. He's a real culture-changer I reckon.

I turned my monitor off. Does that count?

The eternal cry of the IT support dude.

I found this on YouTube and I thought I'd share it. This clip gives a good insight into what diet looks like in the AFL, but for me it highlights how well Jones speaks and how hard he has worked on his mindset to get the best out of himself (from a self-confessed "chunk" to the svelte muscle-bound veteran we see today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsrgLuvKwD8

I seem to recall us meeting a bit more recently than Round 11 last year…

TBH they'll probably both kick multiple goals. WHE and JH are both flying right now.

SPARGO DOESN'T NEED A REST FFS!

I'd rather play West Coast without Darling and us without Lever. Not sure how long Darling will be out for though.

Blues are at 1am. 9am is a good list that needs to mature. The start of the working day. For scale, midday is the premiership.

Guys, I'm not saying play McDonald there all game. Just that with Pedo in, we have heaps of flexibility in how we do things. No other player could give us that.

Lever's just 22 and by no means a vital cog in how we play. Besides, we're at about 9am in our premiership clock tilt. If we get it this year, it's about 3 years early I reckon.

I reckon based on what this game sounds like, we should bring in Pedo as a McDonald replacement and send T Mac to the backline.

I wonder if LARS is a chance? Knowing Melbourne, we'll go the old fashioned way regardless.

Damn. Poor bloke. Not sure anyone should spend big bucks on a bloke who's done his knee before. Massive chance of it reoccurring, especially on that hell-hole that is [Sponsor name here] Stadium.

Watch them lose today and make me look like a dill. I'm a real fan of how Bucks has got them playing this year though, and I kinda want them to win big today to set up a massive QB next week.

Not gonna believe it till I hear it from Goody's mouth.
