What’s funny about that @Ducky you peanut?

Used to average 5 per game, this year he's 2.5-3

Into $1.94 on sportsbet. I still think the bombers win as we can’t score but there isn’t much confidence in them..

Boo hoo he didn’t pick Fullarton. Oh well, I’d rather have JVR in, he’s out of touch but getting his hands to the ball. Once it clicks he’ll be back. “Send a message!!!” - I’m sure they get the message, no one likes playing bad and losing. They know they need to lift, maybe some would benefit from beating up on some VFL dew kickers but the coaches and selectors know the players better than I do. Sharp is probably closest to the chopping block than the others for me. Henderson hits targets (although annoyingly not many i50), we’ve got enough smalls. Brown and Woey Jnr are small too so I think we’re stuck with him until Kolt is back to give another decent sized option.

If we WIN this week I’ll crack open the wallet and buy something out of the retro flamehead range - peak reverend era nostalgia

Yes but they must've been expecting us to be better than we have been, Friday night into standalone Saturday night. We hardly ever got those slots in the bad old days.

“Players have more or less the same level of fitness” but a bit less is worse than a bit more. I’d say it’s not 100% fitness, we’re also out of position and chasing tail a lot which takes more out of you than being ahead of the ball. But we’re also not running on top of the ground and I think we need to move on from Selwyn.

Wheelo has kicking and handball efficiency stats. I can’t work out how to make a screenshot small enough to meet Demonland’s 226kb limit but Oliver is 56.6 by foot and 82.6 by hand, Viney is 48.9 by foot and 74.4 by hand. Not great.. Edit: i’ll add that Trac is 45.5 by foot, in the bottom 5 for us, 76 by hand. Our midfield is a butcher shop.

Good article and some handy perspective on where we’ve been. I’m guilty of underrating how good we were despite the finals losses given how much they hurt, but it’s much worse being where we are now than 2021-2023.

I’d tip the bombers, can’t beat anyone kicking 6 goals. But we’re a chance

We could beat the bombers, they’re as dysfunctional as us. Tiges have a bit more go about them than we’ve shown so I’d tip them but they’re gettable. Eagles are pus so if we drop that one it’s official the players have given up. Freo will beat us, they always do.

She’s said she’s going to get accrediation, it’s a 3 day course and online exam. No reason she cant be accredited by trade period.

Suns kicked 6.2 to 2.2, I don’t think that counts as outrunning them. We’re -102 points in 4th quarters this season. We ain't fit.

I’m aware that’s your take, I’ve seen some of the 4 or 5,000 “PICK JEFFO” posts over the past 2 years. But sure, why not play him? He won’t be any worse than the fwds we had tonight, but I don’t think he’ll be much better. He’s light framed, doesn’t hit packs, not all that strong overhead. If he can get a kick with the way we’re delivering the ball I’ll sing his praises but I expect much the same as we’ve been getting.

He’s a slightly taller Fritsch. If we deliver the ball quickly and accurately he might take a few marks, we don’t so I wouldn’t expect much difference to the forwards we had tonight

To think Jeffo is going to make any significant difference is I think ambitious bordering delusional

As has been posted many times we got Lindsay. He’s a gun.

From Swamp on socials: MELB scoring and ladder percentage in Q4 this year 4.9 (33) - points for 21.9 (135) - points against 24.44% That is a huge friggin problem.

Exactly, their drafting is like our forward entries. Lindsay will be way better than whatever they get.

Bought the Gawny captains diary in ‘21, boring as bat**** as much as I enjoyed the actual season. Hopefully he puts one out about wtf has happened since then because that would be much more interesting. Mentally and physically not prepared for afl footy this year

19 goals to 4 against us in last quarters so far this year. Fire Selwyn out of a cannon pls

He's tagging Holmes who’s only had 8, averages 24

Umpires making some real impact for the cats

Lifted but missing chances

Langford is a gun
