Umps getting out of control. Royal commission territory

Geez the Pies get away with robbery

Umps diabolical

Hahaha

How is that 15?

Has Houston touched the ball yet?

He is going to a star. Dogs have a plethora of KPF and arguably the best player in the comp. Unbelievable how they haven’t won a premiership in recent times.

Soft free. I reckon if that arm goes up to shrug a tackle it should be play on.

Doggies are a chance tonight.

How many FS does Dogs have playing. Unbelievable.

His girlfriend will come back to Victoria. Then what? Story will re emerge during trade week. Given the direction the game is moving , Kozzy is far more valuable to us than LJ

And Jay Clark? The new chief HS reporter.

And you have Carlton who have possibly the best 1-2 combo in the league struggle because they play a similar game style to us with a less talented midfield and defence. We all think having a Curnow or a McKay forward line will make us infinitely more successful, but I honestly I don’t think it will not change us that much.

Bullocks. I’d kick a tonne with a bung back if I was leading into paddocks. But would be useless in a contested marking situation, which is what our KPFs are put in.

Ball movement is now king. Maximising points from turnover was always the sustainable way of scoring. Things we have never traditionally been good at in recent times. I also think the player profile will now look for athletes with skills more then brute strength. The pure inside players days are limited IMV. Likes of Libba, Viney, Oliver, Cripps will be a rarity going forward. Hopefully Langford will show enough outside game as has been promised.

Hawks vs GWS next week will tell us a fair bit about both teams.

Hawks super fit.

200+ PF will win you lots of games, but will not be sustainable every week. They ran out of gas last year in finals.

In hindsight. Picking up Karl Amon in 2022 would have been a good move. He has been a pretty solid HB F / small defender. I think it was FA as well.

Skid marks on Gunstons jumper…. The HFC guernsey trifecta

Happy for Blues to win tonight

Hawks have some clever players I’ll give em that

Soft free

@Demonland feel free to rename thread and do your thang. Just wanted to make a brief comment on the expected crowd tonight. Drenching rain, Thursday night. Lucky to pull 25K tonight I reckon... where as last Sunday Max Laughton the **** of a Fox News reporter potted us again about poor crowd turnout and neglected to mention that the GP was on and monsoon season for 1 day in Melbourne and we were playing GWS who have a total of 3 supporters, 2 of which are the pets of the only supporter known to exist.

Next thing that AFL will do just for a ‘year trial’ is to allow nga pick matches to F/S.
