jumbo returns

In those atrocious conditions, a 10 goal loss is a shellacking. No spread, no run, typical handballs to a player under pressure, collapsing onto an opponent's back etc etc....lost at the selection table.

Roosey wouldn't have been too enthused with what he saw yesterday.

Is Daisy Thomas still available? Imagine a Scott Pendlebury! Magnificent player.

Wow! You got more love with your 'Sack Neeld' threads FT.

Mitch Clark!!! Fit, mean, nasty, protecting Hogan. 80 goals between them. Jack Viney....top 3 in centre clearances. Jack Watts to crunch Pendlebury.

I think he does his job.

Who was that, S?

Not a Natalie Portman fan, OD? I'm a huge fan. Scarlett J was getting a bit tired. This is my post - Neeld impressionism.

Nicho must be told (I'm sure has) to take off the moment he gets the ball. His pace over the first 10 metres is second to none.

Got a link to these stats, please Macca? How are you, btw?

I've been an unabashed critic of JW, but he's getting better. I've seen him go low and hard this year and I think he's surprised himself by coming out of the contest unscathed. Credit where credit's due.

I've had a man crush on our backline all year - they've been amazing. Woo Chippa, Tommy Mac and Garlo with fat contracts. Lock in Terlich and Clisby.

Mixed feelings. Hard nosed approach didn't work with everyone. Some players improved, some hated his guts. Recruiting has been very good, barring Gillies and jury's still out on Pedo. I just hope that the team doesn't fall back into its free fall, unaccountable slippery slope. Now for a midfield.

Wow! Watching Carlton, Richmond AND Hawthorn lose over the weekend can't be a bad thing. Now, a spirited effort by the boys today means that Monday won't be that hard after all.

Hawthorn? How do you see them? I reckon Franklin would be on a mill per season.

Very good point. Having said that, they just got done by the Bullies by less than a goal. Can't see them winning a game. Over at Etihad, Norf are putting the Tigers back into 9th.

Blues are paying Mick's pension - aren't they nice?

Really?

Beautiful kick? We need someone who can hit a target! Got any footage, STMJ?

Agree with sue. Put up, or back off, GH.

Thanks Webber. Sounds promising. Cheers

Are you in the field, Webber? What's the treatment for the synovitis?

Not anger, OD, pragmatism and opinion. I watch the elite midfields and see pace, pace and pace. Even Swan and Mitchell have a burst over the first important 5 metres. To say that Magner will add to our midfield is clutching at straws. I have nothing against the boy, he's just too slow for AFL footy.

Doesn't say much for either achievement.

Yep, thanks for that, I was just fishing. I wouldn't rate McLean a worthwhile footballer. List clogger. I think that Magner and Couch will be delisted at the end of the year.
