Not sure if I am more apprehensive about the umpires or game day thread today.

Presume Pie players who are sick would be responsible citizens and stay home Monday so as to not risk spreading their disease.

Looking to King’s Birthday. I see this as 2 possibilities: 1. There really is a training load factor in which case we will struggle to get the job done against a hard running team as per recent history. Incidentally why would the Pies also not be in load phase? 2. We have been setting ourselves for this game to launch full bore into the second half of the season with a positive kick off. How do you guys see it?

Deserving of “The Far Side” footy award!

I do wonder what happened to our 3 tall backs setup that seemed to dominate. Petty forward has impacted Lever’s role in my opinion. Maybe Disco should be in. (Even Tommo.). No idea who would come out.

Really don’t think it will ever happen to be honest. Annoying that we voted for a new team in Tassie that is contingent on them having their own new undercover stadium with, no doubt, state of the art office and training facilities. Something to ponder whilst driving to wet and windy Casey.

From the medical report I got: As far as Oliver goes- we don’t know We didn’t stuff up letting him play in because we only found out after the match - dubious Everyone is progressing well - hmmm

Bit weird watch Weid play well and then a GWS forward line with Bedford and Hogan in it.

One of the StKilda player taken off on stretcher cart thing. Looked nasty, hopefully ok.

I think for consistency sake the MRO should start every possible suspension with the supposition, “Would this be a suspension if it was Bont or Daicos?” Then go from there.

I got to spend a bit of time with Christian 5 years ago after training and came away saying he is going to be the heart and soul of our club for years to come. Think I was right. Our club seems to have great indigenous respect programs and general sessions on being responsible, caring humans. Great to see Kozzie so humbly happy with family and friends. Great content MFC.

Interesting Goody didn’t mention Schache when talking about forwards coming in for Petty. Looks like being either TMac or BBB.

Reckon any of Brown, TMac or Schache in for Petty. Not sure on current fitness/form for each with no seconds game. Jordon for Sparrow Smith for emergency for flexibility.

There’s no doubt about that.

Umpires relieved they wont have to make 10 reports per game this weekend.

Says a bit about me … but best party I’ve been to for a while.

Pedal harder Andy

Just knobs

Any chance we can get Kelli Underwood to commentate on this?

Hung Jury?

Our Learned Friends are taking the pizz

Easy fix for Brad, just send screenshot of all the head hits in spoils in the last 3 weeks. “Explain this AFL” Of course no criticism is ever allowed of the tribunal or umpires - untouchable. Thought Goody sailed pretty close to the wind in his presser. Good on them both.

So going on Goody: This week no BBB, no Salem, Hibbo in, Spargo likely, Smith a chance, JvR definitely being picked and Petty stays forward. So likely Hibbo for Turner, Smith for JvR if suspended, Spargo in and one of Harmes, JJ, someone else? to the Sub. Still not really clear how Spargo in works - someone must be dropped.
