Now I know we are f....d. You better believe it.

You rang?

Not sure why people are talking about playing the Pies, they are in it, we aren't.

Believe it or not my wife, daughter and grand daughter met him and he couldn’t have been nicer. Very friendly and gave them time he didn’t need to.

Losing sides often look sh-thouse but it is usually the other side that causes that. It is not just that they played poorly, they were made to play poorly by a better side on the night. Credit when credit is due.

Disagree and I would say that most of the footy world would agree with me.

Agree Nasher.

Are you guys serious? Rance is a great, he just had a bad night. Tell me you wouldn’t have him in our side.

Expect that from MMM. You need to pressure mids and effect delivery and then you actually need someone to go up with him. Neither happened tonight.

Do they have hammy’s in the ankle?

And what would you have done besides moving Watts on, that would have got us in the finals 5 years ago, when we were putrid?

Agree. Think that is Peter Daicos and Josh sitting behind him on the left.

Long as the blood and tears are spilled by the Eagles and their fans.

It's a horses for courses decision. The good thing for Bayley is that if we win and make the GF the horses are different to this week. Tigers have one ruck and one key forward, with Pies having another ruckman/forward. The match ups then suit Bayley, who could replace Joel, unless Joel has a blinder and another fringe player has a bad one.

Luckily the FD doesn't worry about the opinion of Dees fans.

I actually think he has slipped a bit and is not as good as he was.

196 cm key back at the Giants is apparently available, though contracted until 2020. He has pace, good disposal skills and can take a grab. He could play back or forward and gives us further options. He would be far cheaper than May and is 4-5 years younger. IMO should be looked at by us.

We are f....d.

To be honest I think I would prefer Fritsch to Hannan up forward. To me he offers far more.

Someone said that Pies players have been told he will be joining the club next year.

I think other than the Petty selection, the FD IMO has done pretty well and we are in a Prelim after all.

Post referred to 2 premierships, AFL and VFL.

That would be nice.

Given he can play forward as well as back or mid and take a grab too, I would not be dropping him.

Wants a long contract on $1m a year. Won't defend, chase or tackle. No thanks.
