Geelong, Richmond, Collingwood.. why do they always seem to have deep pockets and cap space? Surely they run out of those if year in year out target key players (on top coin) from opposition teams.

Best game of Lever for the season. Hopefully he can carry it all the way until the finals.

I don't really care who wins the premiership. Question should be , who you don't want to win it... For me I don't want to see a Carlton, Richmond or Collingwood premiership. IMO the only one with real chances from those 3 is Richmond.

My thoughts exactly. Oliver is the quiet hard worker, Petracca the flash and dash. You rarely see Oliver MIA in a game, even in his "worst" performances.

He's just like a big kid playing at his local footy club, you can see how he enjoys every single time he is out there hurting people and grabbing the pill. Has there ever been any back to back champion player of the year?

Would be great to discuss how many B&F Clarry will win when he is done playing footy... 😲 I am continuously gobsmacked and in awe when I see him play. Top 5 MFC players all time?

I wonder who are in our wish list at the moment, thinking of next season and beyond. Surely a key Full Forward.

Managers they just want to milk the cow as much as possible, don't they get paid on the basis of the contracts they procure for their players?

So nothing except a 8 - 1 or 7 - 2 run will be acceptable.

Dawn of the Dogga 🤞🏻

Question remains, are we the only single team that does loading? No other team out there seems to be struggling like we are with stamina.

On top of having the shortest pre season of all. Biased AFL

He'll be 8 time B&F of our club by the time his career is done. I am hopeful he'll be a Demon for life.

I think we need to discuss the top 3 concerns and urgent fixes this team needs. In my view: A) Major overhaul of the fwd line and structure. Need a new approach to how we want to attack, maybe kick more and think less (see ANB or Harmes forcing kicks to teammates even when there is an open goal). I much prefer behinds than turnovers on that side of the ground. B) Mid-field struggles, clearly there are a couple of players not at the level from last year. Brayshaw to play more as inside midfielder? C) May-dependence. We need to find a way to keep our defensive strength even when someone like May, or Petty for that matter, is out. Looking forward to hear your thoughts on these points.

I'll take him if he shows the hunger and decent form as Disco today. Can't be much worse than Weideman or M Brown

No Doubt he is the most important player in our list. He's our barometer, when playing great you know we are a chance no matter the odds. I believe his contract situation is paramount to that of Jackson. Dare I say the order of priority as of today is: Oliver Brayshaw Jackson

In: empathic win Out: Rubbish performances Honestly the game against Brisbane feels like a finals Game already, elimination game. Lose and it's 4 in a row at the MCG! Can't see ourselves recovering from that considering the trend we are in. Win and we are back to the top and with a solid foundation to start a really tough home stretch. I will.still believe in the boys but I really need to see some more fight in them!

I have been following AFL for just 6 years now but I dare say there are only a handful of opposition supporters I like or at least can tolerate. Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon, Richmond, West Coast, Port up there in the "Most hated" category for mine.

Problem is our players lack confidence ATM. Harmes a clear example, he had open goal and instead tried to give a mark to Dogga who was well covered. Just kick to the open goal Harmes!

Btw someone tell Petracca to stop doing ads and TV appearances, there is a premiership to win here! He can do all that BS when retired.

Enough is enough, bring JVR at least he will try and do something. You can see like Disco that these young players are hungry. A lot of complacency in the list from last year, ANB should be embarrassed of his form.

I think it's time to make the coaching accountable, they clearly haven't fixed the blatant issues of the team. On top of that selection questionable, no Rivers or Hunt as Medi sub is damaging today.

I think it's all because of our poor kicking of late, players seems to lack confidence and prefer to defer responsibility

I think it is best not to pay attention to him and just land some nice hard tackles on him at every chance.

Is it only me or we seem to always been too slow when chasing opposition? We ought to run harder towards our back pocket, I am talking about our mids
