I realise that is your point but it was the situation last week when you were 95% certain.

Did she say the earth moved for her?

That's fine, but our draft and trade capital hasn't changed in the past week ...

Possible Spargo injury - Demonland's heart skips a beat - my, how times have changed!

Anyone against the bye now?

It's Western's class versus Melbourne's power. We can blunt their class with our pressure more than they can blunt our power. We'll generate more scoring opportunities. If we kick straight we win. Demons by 13 points NSM: Clayton Oliver

You're kidding me right? Chris Grant 341 games, 554 goals and ripped off by Ian Collins of the 1997 Brownlow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Grant_(footballer)

Then I think it must mean "c'mon guys be charitable and give a couple of goals before half time to get their hopes up before we smash them in the 2nd half"

What sort of bullsh#t is this? https://www.afl.com.au/news/676734/gary-ayres-award-if-anyone-can-catch-macrae-it-s-this-guy Dogs play an extra game so how can an MFC player possibly win it? Just win the Norm Smith Clarrie - that's all that matters!

I'm in!

I think featuring the opposition in the posters is pretty tasteless

That Lance Franklin entry should say LOST BY 63 - colour is correct, margin is correct, result is incorrect

Yes, the one that gave Geelong the virus.

When my nerves have flared over the past few weeks I've pictured Jack Viney standing in front of the Cup. Anyone else who wants it has to get past him - he won't let it happen.

If we go with Jones this week, barring something unforeseen, we pretty much have to go with him next week given the twins on the way. I'm not feeling it.

Good to see you here! They're in number order, and so is the Interchange, I'm not reading in.

Fort on the Geelong emergency list is interesting, I wonder if there's a question over Stanley, Blicavs or Ratugolea?

I'd guess that since the entire squad is in WA that they are all training together - and that's why you see Majak there. There has been no match in our week off and we will have been running match simulation, you need a full squad to do that as effectively as possible. He's ruck depth and he's most likely to be rucking for the B team in match simulations against Gawn and Jackson in the A team. The club isn't going to be sending non-best 26 players somewhere else to train.

Do you speak like this in person?

Chris Scott's Geelong beat Collingwood 3 times in 2011 to win the flag. They were the only 3 games Collingwood lost for the season going 22-3, pretty amazing!

I think Cerra would be a great get and I agree that Oliver and Petracca are critical members of our midfield. But I don't think we're as thin as you believe. Sure we would suffer if one of them went down but we have Brayshaw on the wing to come back into the midfield and Viney, Harmes, JJ and Sparrow who have all proven themselves capable and the latter two will only be better next year. For example: Petracca, Brayshaw, Viney, Harmes, Sparrow in the middle and JJ to the wing is still competitive I don't think we need to sell the farm to get Cerra which is what it may take.

He's not Clayton Oliver so he's no good. OK. Yes, you're totally entitled to your opinion. Simon Goodwin has the completely the opposite opinion.

No, we need to win the Premiership this year.

David Zaharakis may have been delisted just in time.

Stakes are very high but we wanted it that way. I'm grateful we have the opportunity to put the final stamp on those smug campaigners' era. Max, Clarrie, Jack and Steven are between them and the GF, Geelong aren't going there.
