Redleg

They kick to loose men and we bomb it in usually to the boundary.

That’s an understatement.

At least 6 holding the balls not paid to us. Just then against Crisp 5 metres out red hot. Paid against us in a milli second for soft goals.

They have the umps in the back pocket.

Are you allowed to bury a guys head in the ground because he makes a comment?

Nice day.

I think we are all up the Creek without a paddle and the thread is giving me the Schitts.

It’s getting a bit ordinary on here.

Turner after starting well, was off concussed early in the second quarter.

They will get plenty of them tonight.

Oh you two lovebirds. You forgot to mention heavily intoxicated.

The ex Crows Chairman , Rob Chapman, should take a long hard look at himself. He denied in a public statement, everything we have heard about the camp and basically had a go at anyone complaining. He would have spoken to the FD before his statement, made some time after the issue blew up. He was aware of the allegations and what went on. He showed no care for his players at all. Mark Riccuto is not far behind him.

Mihocek is a big in for them, as he always plays well against us.

You mean Lions.

Yes OD they do. Weid has played 59 games in 7 years and only kicked more than 13 goals in one year. Weid has constantly been bagged by Dees fans throughout his career. I don't recall that happening to Jack at the same stage. He was an automatic in every week, until 2017, when he still played 16 games, after playing 82 in the previous 4 years.

Yes I understand that, but I meant right now if he was available, with our lack of fit and experienced key forwards, he would be in the side and that he was a better player at the same age than Weid. He kicked 6 goals against the Crows in his first game with Port.

Joel is 1cm shorter than Mihocek and possibly as good a mark, but just can't stay on the park.

Agree. If I recall correctly, Demetriou said there was no such thing as tanking, as the Coach wasn't telling players to go out and lose. Then in a great piece of comedy, Gil said he didn't even know what tanking was. Andersen stuffed this up, trying to be too smart and then lost his job, soon after a furious Demetriou returned from his holiday.

BBB is limited with a knee injury and we have no one else ATM, as an experienced and fit key forward. Jack Watts would be in our team tomorrow night, if he was Weid's age and on our list. Yes I can say we would be better off ATM, with him. It is my opinion. My comments on him were really in answer to a poster who said Weid and Watts were the same and both failures. Watts played 150 games for us in a far worse side. I could see Spargo, Tracc and others passing to Watts, who would kick goals for us and was a better mark and kick than Weid as well. I am not saying he was a champion, but is a better player than Weid and would be handy in this far better Demons side.

Howe and Mihocek playing according to McCrae.

Will Ashcroft, likely number 1 pick, has selected the Lions, under the father son rule, in the same week as Sam Darcy, another father son top 3 pick, makes his debut for the Dogs and a week after Jamarra Ugle Hagen, a NGA number 1 pick, kicked 5 goals in a game. JUH was taken the year before the AFL changed the goal posts, stopping the Dees taking Mac Andrew as a NGA player and then again the following year, once again changing the goal posts, which might stop us getting another NGA player Finn Emile-Brennan. Yep some teams get a lot of luck.

I can live with Caro repeatedly bringing it up, as long as she was doing it honestly. She could say something like, "in a widely practiced tactic in the AFL, known as tanking, which even my TIgers admitted to doing, the MFC was the only club punished by the AFL, for doing it". At least that would be truthful.

Jack Watts was a far better player than Weid is and I think your comparison is pretty unfair to Jack and incorrect. Jack played in a worse team and was used all over the forward line, even playing a bit in defence and ending there with Port where he was going very well until injured. He was actually BOG against us playing off the half back line for Port. If we had Jack at Weid's age now, we would be far better off than we are and he would be absolute best 22. Nice mark and brilliant kick for goal and was mobile for his size. Have a look at the running goal winner against the Pies, could you see Weid doing that?

Bit of interest on other threads about JVR possibly debuting tomorrow. Don't see it happening unless BBB is not fit.

Wash your mouth out. I just had a banana smoothie from Green Cup shop, which opened today around the corner from my place. It is still the drink of choice for the discerning person.
