Lost me at Bulldogs open at 2023 and Swans closing in 2024.....will be open for most of this decade.

I know someone that knows him very well. He is very much his own man, doesn't like being given orders and sounds very hard to coach.
It's the only reason he's been delisted because he is good enough to be in just about any team in the comp. He just doesn't appear to want the scrutiny and intensity of the footy world.
Could be a damn good player if he wants it bad enough.

He should get plenty of looks at the footy, every kick in is coming his way, just don't get in Max's way Lachie!!

I should feel enthused that we are about to land one of the great ruckmen of the modern era....but I don't!
I just don't get how him and Gawn combo will work!

Agree and I'm extremely suss on this "foot was trodden on" story.
I do remember him going off limping in the last game, but came back onto the field a while later.

All good points
but how many times did we kick more points than goals, when we were strongly controlling general play?
Look at what we could still do at The Gabba in Round 23… 13.3 at Halftime
Yep
We were every bit as dominant in the first half on Friday as we were at the Gabba. I'm tipping the stats would be very similar for contested possession, clearance, inside 50s etc.
Only thing that changed was accuracy and we left the door open.

It's fitness and playing injured players for mine, along with stubborn coaching/ selection / game plan.
Must admit though, i don't think I once heard selfless footy being banged on about like it did all of last year!

Gee those 2 goals on the siren came back to haunt.

We looked busted after half time again.
What has happened to our footy club in the space of 3 months.
Complete and utter failure.
Players obviously not the same after injuries this year, did we go too hard in our prep?
Players looked completely burnt out.
Or not hard enough? Questions must be ask.
Yes to pretty much everything.
We tried EVERYTHING we did last year, without a plan B. Played injured players like last year expecting same result. Do we blame players for putting their hand up to play,
OR coaches for not freshening up when it was so obvious blokes were playing hurt AND being so damn predictable and refusing to make changes when teams picked us apart in 2nd halves .
It's the latter for me.
We looked good in nearly every first half before running out of steam

I said it weeks ago but he is plays like he doesnt care and its obvious
Definitely has The Tim Taranto vibe about it. Strikingly similar both appear to have checked out!

It was probably 70-30 crowd to us. I thought they were louder than us and I was there. Heard Bucks say same thing post match and he was there.
It's not hard to see why. A combination of a very old demographic and a lot of supporters with hearts in their mouths waiting for the 2nd half fade out.

Even at 10-0 we weren't playing great footy, most of those wins were an arm wrestle for 3 quarters and we dominated 1.
Our game plan , our run n carry that was some of the best footy ever seen last year was non existent and to me it is clearly fitness, we simply could not run games out like last year and execute our game plan.
At least 6 blokes out there were on 1 leg tonight. Lever, Brown, Trac, Salem, Gawn, Viney . You can't carry that many sore players and expect to win.
Blessing in disguise, we'd have got pantsed and embarrassed against Geelong.
Goodnight all.

Petracca looks no better than last week, already limping in the warmup
Looks lame to me.

Dees by 8 goals late in the 3 Rd. Trac "rested" with soreness.
You heard it here first.

Unfortunately for us Lions omitted Robbo and Matho!

Love feeling startstruck. Still stoked that Chrissy Amphlett once called me 'handsome' - overly generous to the extreme.
I vividly remember her eyeballing me at the first gig I ever went to as a 15yo. I was starstruck.
Sorry Mono she's mine .
RIP Rock goddess

Did anyone see the Spargo incident? Where his throat was crushed?
7 minutes ago, Trisul said:I think it happens after Spargos smothered kick for goal. On the AFL replay, 1:51:15-16. Rampe appears to fend to the throat.
I mentioned this earlier but he reached for his throat after a tackle he laid at HFF city end SKW stand side ....not sure which of these incidents come first but I believe the tackle.

I agree with him about the umpiring
AFL has changed the HtB rule this week, the Gee and Freo games were unrecognisable compared to most of the season, dozens not paid
There was a blatant head duck in our game, I believe Mills in Front of their goals in the last , straight into the tackler and zero attempt to get rid of the ball and not pinged.
I guess we were fortunate he didn't get sucked in by the head duck.

Regarding the backline . . . and to some unremarkable salient points made by some posters that I am now going to remark upon.
I would say they (and 'they' are named later on - I have no fear) are all pretty one-dimensional back there. And the comp is full of OD players. Just in my era alone:
- Hudson simply chat himself when shooting for his 151st goal - no good under pressure at all.
- Robbie Flower the same. Often missed running goals in the wet from 55 metres out after taking the ball at half back and being bashed by Matthews for his trouble. Barassi had to permanently move him to half back to save his career.
- Carey was cr&p as a backman . . . Pagan had to move him forward where he carved out a barely passable career.
- Voss, Black, Lappin and White were no good in the granny of 2004 - lost the plot in the fourth quarter - wonder any of them played another game quite frankly.
- And don't get me started on Dusty . . . slack bast*#d only plays well in grannies.
So yeah - unfortunate Maysie, Jake the Snake, Tommy Petty, Pig Hibbo and Christian Salem need to take a good long hard look at themselves this week. The future of the club depends on it.
Wonder if it had anything to do with having already run 100m, the ground was wet, and he was 55m out?
Not to mention carrying the rest of his team.

Seriously?
He was moving like a cripple in the second half.
I was gob smacked, and remain so, that Goody didn't bring Smith on for him. I mean, what the point of having a medi sub if you don't use it when needed?
We were basically down a player for a big chunk of the match. We really needed the run Smith and energy would have contributed.
Totally baffling.
Yep, right in front of me I saw him go down on his haunches for 10- 20 secs, when he got up and took a step his leg gave way completely.
Limped/walked half way to bench and I assumed he would get subbed out, but then stayed on inexplicably and was a witches hat for rest of first quarter.
Got some run back 2nd half but clearly hampered. Brave to stay out but may have been costly.

Anyone know how Charlie got the throat injury.
Going to hospital with it sounds similar to the injury that Dangerfield got when Toby Green charged him and got several weeks suspension for it.
It was in a tackle he made I reckon, city end around HFF Shane Warne stand side. From memory he actually won the free but I remember seeing him reach for his throat almost immediately after the tackle.

Played with a hairline fracture last night.
They are planning on playing him against Brisbane still.

I wonder how long it will take him to say " WTF was I thinking!" When he takes a good hard look at his current hairdo.
