  1. Fullarton was decent I thought and keen to see him again...give the guy a chance!
  2. They seem like rather sensible and "normal human" type thinkings. I can't imagine a Collingwood fan page would read like that haha I don't usually mind Tigers supporters, yes they won lots of flags recently but in general I remember they had long stretches at the bottom too didn't they? Looking forward to this game, should be interesting, will be good to see a few of the young recent top draft picks go head to head too.
  3. Love the Petracca speech thing, so important, it showed a bit more investment and clarity on Saturday I thought and that will always come from top down.
  4. Anyone figure out what the house/roof sign was that Harvey made after he kicked that goal? Apologies if its already been answered in this thread I'm being lazy/busy but its got me very curious.
  5. Just don't want to see JVR as a second ruck again.
  6. Just can’t lose Koz, no matter what, offer him the farm but he’s too important and reckon he likes his club too. God I hope we can hang on to him, would rather keep him than any of the options for a trade, even H Reid, although that would be bitter sweet.
  7. I'm not much of a fan of Howes but how was he yesterday, no one calling for him to be dropped? I would have thought he was a late emergency in, if May and McVee are available I'd think they replace Turner and Howes, but I'd rather Turner stayed in he probably won't. I have a funny feeling if Fritsch was playing yesterday with the rest of the team playing like that he would have kicked a few, still he wasn't great at Casey so can't really reward that, the whole point is that they find some form. Fullarton seemed to do his job, and I'd rather him there than AJ at this point, I think he can kick goals just fine he deserves a few games to see how he adapts. Really hope Kolt is not injured, loved having him back in the side and I want all five of those young guns playing together!
  8. I agree, the whole "protect the head" should be the highest order, no exceptions, that is ridiculous that a speccy knee to the head is okay just because its a part of footy. Don't pick and choose you mugs! Fullarton seemed to help just a shame he missed that kick. If the others don't light it up at VFL level there is no way they should get a look in at AFL level until they do. Petty as forward and Disco as defender I thought was great, Disco has the speed we need back there and still a great mark. I hope he stays there, shame he's probably out for another week because we looked way better back there with him I thought. Love the team though, the kids, the vets, yesterday was heaps of fun and I hope we play like that more often. Would like to see a Jeffo with Petty up there at some point, hope he can get up and make his case for it at VFL level, reckon that might be a good mix.
  9. Really love this guy and he looks so great with the footy and is a beautiful kick...great game all round but very happy for him that he had a good one too.
  10. Glad to see Fullo getting his shot at AFL he deserves it, don't think I would have taken Fritsch out though he was much better last week. Hope he and JVR benefit from VFL time. Would have thought Jeffo comes in as well and maybe Turner plays back, especially a good option with May now being out, but no Jeffo so no one to replace Turner if he goes back. Oh well, don't think anyone really thinks we're a shot at this game but I'm sure stranger things have happened. God, missing Lever and May, not great is it.
  11. Seriously Blake Howes for May? Are they kidding?? I'm sure he's a great bloke but that's just a ridiculous emergency list especially considering we knew May was a "maybe". Why on earth wasn't Adams on that list...we know Howes doesn't really do much good at top level yet, let's see how Adams goes at least. Crazy decision this! This makes me so mad, Adams should be in for May my god I'm angry.
  12. Love the idea of these guys playing together and being the future, some great talent and characters in there, Kolt in particular for character. Hope we can keep them all and they invest in the club, I think they are a great exciting future prospect and to be there for a bit with a few of the greats of our current team, albeit finding some form, would be very tasty.
  13. Worst idea ever, the guy is so much trouble that his own club can't even deal with him he has to be left to the AFL to deal with. Not to mention he'd want heaps of cash, no way you want to bring a guy like that in and pay him more than your other loyal top players he'd be a total club culture killer.
  14. Seriously we all know so much more than the coaches if they just jumped on here and took our advice we'd start winning.
  15. I'd just like to see JEffo and AJ up there again, JVR and Jeffo to purely play forward roles AJ second ruck which is what we got him for. No one can argue that we looked better with that setup in the first game, whether it was coincidence or not. Not sure about Spargo or Hendo at this point, would love to see McVee in and Kolt but not sure they're ready straight away. Keep Milkshake he's great, mature, good kick inside 50 which we so desperately need. Please don't bring in Howes he's still not ready, bring in Jed Adams I'd be interested to see him if we need him. I'm hoping Laurie can actually play well, but he doesn't really do much at AFL level, imagine if we brought him in for Viney and he just dominated wouldn't that be something!
  16. Me too, whatever happens I really get excited leading up to selection and game-day, I always tell my daughter in the morning "do you know what day it is??? GAME DAY BABY!!" Still excited to see the kids play and get better, haven't seen much of anything recently but it'll happen, I'm excited to see it when it does. I feel like I did at half time in that final home and away game against Geelong in 2021 when most people had written us off, my wife included as she went to bed...and although it looked completely hopeless I said to her "nope I'm gonna stay up just in case because you never know and imagine if they did come back I'd hate to miss it"...then they managed to do the un-doable. I always have faith they can pull a rabbit out of a hat because damn its good fun when it happens!
  17. This year vs last year is very different given Tracs personal (likely partly family driven) issues towards the club and Oliver was still getting over everything in his personal life, things were getting mended and they probably still are. I would imagine Tracs family pushing him like one-eyed Colilngwood supporters to try and get traded and Trac was particularly vulnerable, but I'm thinking this year maybe he has realized he loves his club that he won a premiership with and wants to just put all that mess behind him, maybe tell him family to cool their jets, and just get on with trying to be awesome again for his club! That would be my take on it anyway, pure conjecture, but seems plausible enough. Oliver on the other hand just needs to keep working, and I reckon he and Trac's relationship is probably quite important too, I feel like those guys firing fit in cahoots helped the team a lot. They're got the skills, they do need to make adjustments though. I'm backing them in!
  18. I have faith that they're both good enough to turn it around, and I love that Petracca backed away from all the investigations and just committed to the club and playing footy with less outside noise, I think that's very important and a great step from someone who is quite important to us. Would love to see him get the captaincy, and love to see Oliver just keep working because I think he will rediscover some form. The whole footy world knows what they're capable of, its in there somewhere, just need to find it again and I think they're genuinely trying and they care. That's the optimist in me anyway, I'm sure no one hates how things are going more than they do!
  19. JVR should never ruck again, what a dumb thing to do to the poor kid, it has really stifled him. Petracca story sounds like a positive, can't read it though without a subscription but I get the jist...Kozzie who knows, would love him to stay though! Just get JVR out of the ruck, AJ to ruck he looked decent in the first game and get Jeffo in there too...funnily enough our first game looked a lot better than all the ones that followed...interesting that, we kind of had some actual forwards even though they were not veterans.
  20. Hey at least it’s fun to watch again, wish Oliver kicked that goal though it would have been vintage 2021
  21. Umpires getting involved, that was a mark for May if that was the Bombers it would have been paid. How about the Milkshake he’s great isn’t he!?!
  22. [censored] YEAH FRITTA
  23. Well this sucks. Whenever Melbourne gets the ball just imagine Benny Hill music playing, it really is fitting
  24. I'm sure he's a lovely guy, but I can't understand why we persist playing Petty right now, I would much MUCH rather have Turner running around down back than Petty at the moment and I don't think there would be many who disagreed with that.
  25. Turner very stiff to get dropped, he actually leads and competes pretty well I thought. He'd be wondering why I'm sure.
