Everybody seems to have a slightly different take. My understanding was that Nicky Winmar was showing a typical Vic Park crowd that intestinal fortitude got the saints the win that day. But after the media published Wayne Lubdy's photo, showing skin, Nicky wisely decided never let the truth get in the way. I could be wrong but I think Im right.

You lost me with the royal We Fork'em. Who are you speaking on behalf of?

Id really like to know what is holding back some of our players. I had assumed Petracca and say Spargo have not had injuries which may or may not be true. I dont think Traccs knee has held him up much this year. Harmes has come good after his badly broken and dislocated finger in round one. I think Tracc and Spargo could be leaner and fitter. I think Tmac and Jack Viney are playing injured but to what degree i have no idea. Id say they are willing themselves onto the park. If thats so, how come they seem to attend and complete training? Is Hannan playing still injured? Is Oscar incapacitated or just not much good? If anyone can point me to information on the above Id be grateful.

I think TMac is injured but having a laugh at the end was a bad look. Disappointed.

Isnt that Preuss 2nd from the right on the top row?

If you cant kick accurately and you cant mark... might as well handball and run.

You would think Nick Reiwoldt or Wayne Carey would be available(payable) to come down and talk forward craft to forwards and mids.

TMac is too slow ATM to play back, he would be worse off. I agree with may forward. Thats where he starred as a junior.

It would be typical Melbourne if, in an attempt to gift Jonesy 300 games, we lost Brayshaw who doesnt like the wing and is better inside.

Im just waiting to hear how much the Weid is on in his new contract. We will then probably hear that Charlie S has signed a 3 year deal.

Should Play centre at Casey for the rest of the year, apparently thats his best spot. Bring on Lockhart.

We should argue who is our worst. Spargo, daylight, Hannan and Hunt.

Why if he is so good, he cant play in the centre? .I prefer Brayshaw, Harmes and Clarry so far. They have the tank to play in the middle. Not fit enough, me thinks. look forward to your votes.

I miss Melksham.

Ive put $5 on a draw.

Any one know if final sides have been announced?

I still hope Petracca plays well. We just dont give the ANB JKH types who try hard and follow instruction (generally) the latitude that "talented" players who screw up get.

?????? I cant believe how many people forgive and accept Petracca's faults. He is uncoachable. He cannot concentrate. He NEVER comes through when the going is tough,although trying hard, he is stupid and trying to do too much. He falls immediately to old bad habits.

One of the worst aspects is my naive belief that Demon supporters didnt boo Goodesy. Yet here is the pudding.

And they are all acting so comfortably with it! I suspect they are having a very good time! Throw the book at her.

A large Victorian club had a screening earlier this week. All employees attended. At the end everyone felt very bad. Someone I know and respect was there. The person was almost in tears as he told the story. At the end the president stood up to speak and I was told every single person thought that he, like the silent hundreds in the room, should own the hurt and bigotry shown to Adam Goodes and show remorse. The person there said the president did not "own it". He made excuses. Thats what hurt him as he thought if this does not change Australian attitudes, nothing will. Ive never seen my friend quite so upset to be honest.

Is she related to Laurie Mithen? i had always assumed so and I had also assumed that our team had a few female relatives that we had given extra chances to because thats what many of the AFLW teams do. EDIT Below She is from Geelong She was drafted Her Grandfathers cousin was Laurie so it is a long bow

Brown for me. Can make a silk purse out of a Demon midfielders kick.

I honestly expected him to change the outcome of at least a few games. I guess his efforts and expertise are felt more not on the field.

I just did too.
