So it would be a package of our two first round picks this year plus a first round pick from 2024? Does it only work if the Freo pick is top 5?

Geelong on a short rest? They are not a chance

No chance for Clarry?

We need to do what the pies do, Territory, Territory, Territory!!! No matter if it's ugly and not perfect footy.

But they won't win a final this year... 20 years and counting 😉

Essendon very lucky the Pies miss every set shot and half opportunity at goal. Let's hope that doesn't change for KB day.

.

Carlton - St Kilda was a tough pick, I chose the losing side. Then I went too bold and picked North to upset GC.

Is this the best Anzac Eve - Anzac Day combo since its inception in 2015?

Maybe a swap with Essendon? TMac for Weid haha

Hardcore style

It's nauseating to hear the "Weid!!!" cry from the Essendon crowd.

@binman can you also explain if there is a similar approach on how NBA use the load/usage of players in different positions? I believe they measure not only the % of play (i.e. minutes played vs minutes of game), but also the positions where they play those minutes (e.g. a player can be PG for part of the game and then a SF). Thanks.

The AFL should have (if they don't already) a board or commission that evaluates umpires. They can decide who is good enough for the big leagues and who should stay at VFL level.

Yeah, the darkness and the fire make it extra poignant.

Something we can learn from Collingwood (and how it pains me to admit) is that we can embrace "ugly" footy. They move the ball forward at all cost, no matter if they kick, hand ball, slap the ball, dribble... Just relentless desire to gain territory.

Don't forget to also please ask him to stop forcing the mark of the century.. It will come when he least expects it, he just needs to be the dangerous and strong force of nature he can be.

No one should be so harsh on criticism towards a 20 year old player. I was also noticing his absence during the early parts of the game. However, if you pay attention closely you'll notice how he keeps trying. By pressure, running, Shepperd, contesting marks... He is just a work horse.

Why did they reverse Fritta's mark? I haven't seen anything clear about that.

It may only be me but I kind of saw Fritsch helping him by blocking the Tiger defenders, which gave JVR more time and space to prepare his mark.

With what we've seen so far this season, in your opinion, what's the best fwd line-up that we have?

Was Allen Jakovic at the G today? I could be wrong but I believe his name was mentioned during the pre-game entertainment (I think when Sanston was being interviewed by Robbo)

I still don't understand what the hell they called on Lever on that missed goal by the Tigers. Isn't he free to do whatever he wants as long as he is behind the man on the mark?

Grundy needs to improve his defensive marking.

If he's not injured, is he a risk to be omitted? Maybe Turner for May, Petty back home to D50
