    You could just say "sorry, my mistake I got it wrong Pickett is a gun".

    And why do you pretend that the Kelly trade was for Tyson without mentioning Salem.  

    Both trades are big wins for us.

    ... or Hunt, who we also got with the pick that came back in the trade.

    Or that Tyson (who was poor but still serviceable) was effectively swapped for Preuss and the later Preuss trade helped us get B.Brown.

    Kelly trade is the gift that keeps on giving.

    Whoever we bring in to replace Tomlinson, we are going to miss the flexibility he gave us by basically never coming off. Prior to today he averaged 98% time on ground. Ed Langon as a comparison is 93%.

    Leans me towards wanting to try Tmac (90%) down back so as to not disrupt rotations through the rest of the team too much. 

    Petty as an FYI is at around the 75% mark

    In terms of mindset, this game is complete opposite to Tigers. Saturday night we had nothing to lose whereas vs North we have everything to lose.

    Its a completely different sort of pressure so it'll be interesting to see how we handle it.

    I loved Max charging through the middle after the one/two with Viney and Petracca, then hoofing if to Oliver/Spargoat who won the contest and got it out to Dogga for a clear run to goal.

    That, Hunts run, and the other length of field passage that finished with Spargoat clearing the way for another Jackson goal were awesome.

    I'm not very good at describing what I see on the footy field, so apologies in advance...

    Bedford looks the most likely at this point to take the next step. Didnt have as much of a stand out game as the last couple but his speed, aggressiveness and attack on the ball and opposition were still impressive.

    Bowey was similar, but looked a bit timid early. Got into it more as the game progressed. Not as quick as I thought he'd be, but then the conditions were bad for a fair chunk of the game and not really condusive to hard running so I'll reserve judgement on that. Got a great kick on him though.

    Smith is in everything. Quite a slight fella but it doesn't seem to bother him at all. He was often the one you'd see running around in support of team mates, mopping up the loose ball. Often got to it first when he probably had no right too.

    Majak though, was very impressive. He's got a great vertical leap and tap, and to my eye, dominated the Richmond rucks, one of which was Chol. He took a couple of big pack marks in the forward line which definitely raised my eyebrows. Very handy acquisition

    Yeh. 

    Cause dream team points are the only thing coaches look at when determining whether or not a player had a good game..

     

    I'm not a coach, but I was there and he had a very good game.

    FWIW.....

    Wher can i find a replay

    really hard to track them down this year

    Prior to the game there wasn't any full game replay listed. Just those AFL Mini things.

    There is now a full replay on Thursday morning @ 8.25

    It sounds like the North game will be relocated to Melbourne due to Tasmania requiring people who have been in Perth to isolate. 

    Has this actually been said anywhere?

    Or are people just connecting their own dots cause Tas govt hasn't made a decision re Norf and Marvel is free?

    Just ordered my ticket but I can't print it out. Do I just arrive with my order number?

    There's a QR code in the ticket. I'd just assumed that could be scanned on entry like we do at the G? 

    Might go to library on way and print it out just in case. Who owns a printer these days!

    What time is it on? I'm planning on going there.

    I had written the time in my original post, but along with re-wording most of what I said, and adding a picture, the time was removed. Not sure why.

    I'm all for the attention.

    Attention = relevancy and if the team continues to perform well that'll eventually = respect.

    Tonight on the sports news our team selection for Saturday was the second story, ahead of (would you believe) a story re the new Collingwood president!

    Will be a cracking game. I hate the arrogance - but they deserve it. I wonder what that must feel like :)

    It's the passive arrogance that annoys me the most.

    Had a Richmond supporting friend ask me earlier today whether I'd be surprised if we could get within 50.  To him, a win is a given. All that's in question is the margin.
