Ive just joined folks. First timer in this league so if I`ve taken anyones spot kick me out! Team name Muts Mongrels

Actually Ditch, sale ends on March 16th not round 1. Scroll down the email!

Freo will be no pushover despite their recent injuries. A midfield boasting Fyfe, Mundy, Cerra, Serong, Brayshaw, 2 superstars and 3 who had fantastic seasons last year and will improve. I reckon it’s a stronger midfield than ours. The betting odds in this game are way off in my opinion. Our form at The G in 2019 was poor.

I wouldn’t be too concerned, keep in mind the played barely 40 hours prior so it’s not overly surprising.

Would be the best signing we’ve ever made on or off field. He is besties with Clarko but is more likely to move to Gold Coast where his family have relocated to. Doesnt rule out a part time gig!

Based on what we’ve seen pre season he definitely deserves his place in the team.

We are 3-4 goals worse off without him!

So where are we at with this 10 days out from our season opener? I was pleasantly surprised with our willingness to look into the centre corridor against The Tiges, didn’t come off every time due to skill error but when it did it looked awesome and we became less predictable with I50 entries. That completely disappeared against The Dogs. Was it as a result of the players sidelined, or do we simply crumble when too much pressure is put on which The Dogs did beautifully. We have not changed the kickouts where we kick to Max at every opportunity (the same side of the ground most of the time) and we continue with a hard press that leaves us vulnerable when we turn it over. Still lots of long bombing inside 50 too. Anyone notice anything different from previous years?

Added to the list along with Majak according to SEN.

Agree, it was a terrible decision by the club not to resolve this with an established player such as Phillips. We`ve screamed for outside run for years now and we have failed to bring in anyone with the right attributes. Tomlinson was certainly not the answer. Fritter is probably the best suited but we cant afford to take him out of the forwardline. I think they should give Hunt a go here, he is not ideal but I don`t think he is the answer off halfback. Left field maybe Rivers. Just another mindboggling oversight from the club that this hasnt been addressed and now with the manning the mark rule it is even more critical than ever before to get this right.

Absolutely. I thought Harmes was just a pass, the rest were really ordinary. I’ve been a big fan of AVB but he is well past his best now and will struggle to get a game this year.

Leading possessions for us at half time

Classic case of Chinese Whispers. The young fella was Corey Ellison (#10) who was sporting a rude mullet. About the only similarities he and TMac have is height.

LDC I’ve had no trouble synching up with Kayo and a selection of your preferred radio stations thru the AFL app. Usually I have to pause live TV for about 10-15 secs to synch. it’s a far better experience. I was driven to this mostly because of Bruce, it was becoming nauseating.

I reckon Bowey will play early in the season. I’m not sold on Bowery or Bowrey just yet but if all 3 play it would be a great story!

Footy will be more enjoyable to be honest. I used to cringe at some of his drooling of the stars. Will never forget creepy Bruce behind Dusty at The Brownlow. Great race caller though. All the best Bruce.

Disgraceful !!

Not at the expenses of winning games of football. 3 blokes out yesterday I’d rather have in the team than him if they are fit. Pickett, Brayshaw, Melksham. Jones was serviceable yesterday though and exceeded my expectations.

Won’t bother me. It’s our fortress!

I think we can see a clear change in game plan. We are looking to go into the corridor far more than previous years. Whilst our disposal has been a bit off at times creating turnovers, it looks great when it comes off. If we can get a bit cleaner I think this bodes real well with our pace off the half back and wing.

I haven't read the article OD but my understanding from someone at the club is Victoria will need 28 days of zero cases to have 50% crowds attend. There will be an option for 30% crowds subject to case numbers as well but not certain of case numbers required for that. Even 30% crowd maximum shouldn't bother us bar 3 or 4 games lol.

Here's an idea.... How about we just play him as an inside mid where he finished 3rd in a brownlow. One of the more peculiar coaching decisions along with Harmes at half back. We definitely have an abundance of inside mids so I agree someone is likely to be traded.

Interesting Bob. Havent heard from old mate Hazy Shade of Grinter for a while. These are the threads he used to pop up in, wonder who he was and what happened to him!?

This thread is getting completely derailed. Can we just get back to discussing Idi Amin

Best qtr of footy the girls have ever played. Standard is excellent from both teams.
