Didn't he play well in the PF?

He didn't dish it, he pushed and shoved. For a guy known as the ox, big and strong, it was weak and he knows it. I was 15 metres from the Long hit on Snake Simmonds. I thought he was dead. Unfortunately no one else did anything to retaliate. It is the only time I have been disappointed with the Ox. If not for 3 knee recos, we would be talking about him as Carey number 2. I met Long a couple of years ago and told him he was a great player, except for that incident. He said he could have killed him and was happy he was ok.

SOS suggesting that Giants would move on Coniglio, for points and salary cap relief. So, could we give them some late picks, to clear Coniglio to Freo and we get Cerra. Then we do another trade to get a bit more, like say Weid for a pick that goes to Freo. Result is the Dockers get Coniglio and a pick for Cerra and Giants get salary cap relief and a new Captain, plus NGA points they need. If we did that, would you look at Jarrod Brander, as a cheap pick up and versatile cover player. He was originally a forward and is 195 cms and can play at both ends. Eagles happy to move him on, again probably for salary cap relief. You would then get Cerra and Brander, for mid range picks and Weid.

Thanks Ash. Watched a bit and will finish later. Fantastic memories of our most skillful player ever. Never forgotten.

Unless you step in it.

I would prefer a fit Hunt to Hibbo. His run and carry off the hbf could be of great benefit in a GF. He is also a long kick and can snag a goal if moved forward. Hibbo can fumble badly and those left foot sliding kicks often go to the opposition. Hibbo is probably a better lockdown defender but I would rather Hunt if he is fit. He was very good for us before the injury. He just offers more than Hibbo.

Disagree. Max could be BOG and we still lose. Need more than Max to play well. We could win with Max having an average game too.

There you have it.

I'd prefer Jack Viney did it.

Me too.

I wouldn’t say “no impact “ but would agree it could be a minor consideration at best in many cases.

The game is ours. We have never lost a GF in the days following a 5.8 earthquake, while in lockdown over Covid, in the week of protestors taking over the city and West Gate Bridge, while the Premier is missing, thought fled to China.

That’s the bit that gets me excited. If we commit to him and he commits to us we will get it done, but it would probably mean losing someone.

And he is a Tigers fan.

Here is my conspiracy theory. If Cerra had told Carlton that he was nominating them, then at the exit interview for Petrevski-Seton, Carlton would have told him to keep quiet if he wanted to go home and they would try and do a deal to get him to the Dockers. Of course all conspiracy theories have a get out option and that is in this case, that maybe the Dockers don't want P-S, or he doesn't want to play with them and then pick 6 and whatever they get for P-S from the Eagles would easily do the deal.

Could be related to former Reserves player and Director, the late Rick Mollison.

That is the assumption of Ralph. If Cerra nominates us we will get the deal done.

Think you missed my point. They are a rotten club. End of point.

I think we have 2 caged bulls in our team who will be released from their cages for this game. Viney and May. I see little worry for either of them in a fear of suspension, if it means winning. Not saying they will king hit anyone, but rather they will play for keeps. Every bump and tackle will be meaningful.

I hope you are absolutely confident about 9.50 pm Saturday.

I think the whole fish and the whole club is rotten.

We will see. Plenty on here thought JJ was hopeless and would be delisted. Might be in the GF side.

Tell that to Sydney. Dogs got more than a free ride in the 2016 GF. They were gifted a flag with several shocking decisions. Swans were furious and they let the AFL know after the game, but it was too late. I think the AFL even acknowledged the very poor umpiring.

Hope they do retain him. He played key position a few games with Casey and I thought he went ok. He is still learning the game.

Different recruiters and I can promise you Taylor would have taken Clarry. We are trying to get Cerra atm when we have a good midfield. You always take the best and Taylor thought at pick 4 Clarry was the best.
