A problem for one may not be a problem for another, but a problem nevertheless in any negotiation. Negotiations don’t generally get resolved by simply telling one side to ignore their concerns.

Well done James and Clarry, paying respect to friends and ex team mates and always welcome back at Melbourne, their football home.

Paddy Cross had more impact than many might think. Yes he kicked one, but he gave the ball to Chin for his on goal from the kick off line and spoiled a likely mark to a key Blues back, punching the ball straight to Fritta for that swing around goal. He may have had other assists too, but more importantly, we have another AFL standard player here. There are other players who could be AFL standard out there who have been overlooked and hopefully we are searching one or two out for future drafting.

You were a bit unlucky at selection.

How do we give up 7 first quarter goals to Dockers and Tigers hold them to 1?

Picket isn't lying and I also don't think he is a fool, he is just expressing his opinion that Caulfield won't happen. He will either be proved right or wrong. I am fairly confident it will be wrong.

Maybe Taylor, Buckley, Green, Daniels, Jones, Bedford, Kelly and Cadman not playing have something to do with it.

He seems a pretty level headed and humble guy. King wants ruthless and selfless and hopefully he can provide that. Interesting in light of some of the Rivers comments on DL, Paddy said one of his assets is his pace. Good luck Paddy, hope your fist game with the Dees and celebrating with Tom and Max is a big win for the Dees.

Hopefully he gets a chance under King and grabs it.

Clarry had a good first half and Hogan an absolute stinker.

Frees 9-3 Pies way of course. I have seen multiple frees to Giants ignored and doubtful ones paid to Pies. Last night Cats 25-13 frees against Crows. Sick of these big clubs getting everything.

We need mids and he picks Cross after an average game at Casey. Looking like Bill is not in King’s plans.

I am not arguing or agreeing, I was just passing on what I was told.

Now you are talking.

Read my post again. I said a 6 day break BEFORE a Perth game.

Not quite as simple as many of us thought on this issue. "Yes, building a tunnel under a racetrack can affect the track above, but modern engineering techniques are generally designed to minimize or completely negate these effects. The primary risks involve ground settlement, structural stability during construction, and long-term changes to the ground's water content. www.tunnelsandtunnelling.com +1 Potential Effects on the Racetrack Above: Ground Settlement: The excavation process removes material, which can cause the ground above to settle or sink slightly. If not managed properly, this can create dips or imperfections in the race surface, which is critical for high-speed racing. Structural Deformation: The removal of overburden (soil/rock weight) and the weight of the new tunnel can lead to uneven deformation or "uplift" in the ground. Vibrations and Noise: Construction, especially drilling or blasting, creates significant vibrations that can affect surface infrastructure. Water Table Changes: Tunneling can interrupt groundwater flow, leading to changes in soil stability. MDPI +1 Mitigation and Engineering Solutions: Deep Tunneling: Building tunnels at a sufficient depth, usually deep within solid rock, can reduce or eliminate surface impact. Advanced Tunneling Methods: Techniques like tunnel boring machines (TBM) or jacked boxes are often used to minimize ground disturbance. A "jacked portal" or "jacked box" is often chosen for its ability to avoid disrupting surface operations. Ground Monitoring: Engineers use real-time monitoring devices in the tunnel and on the track surface to track deformation or settlement and make immediate adjustments to construction methods. Ground Treatment: Before digging, soil stabilization techniques (such as grouting) can be used to strengthen the ground, preventing settlement. ResearchGate +4 While construction risks exist, modern tunnels are routinely built under critical infrastructure (highways, railways) with little to no noticeable impact on the surface if engineering standards are strictly followed. www.tunnelsandtunnelling.com +1"

This is the one team I really love to beat. Go Dees, smash the Blues.

And West Coast and North are located in same spot for Training and Administration, as are the Saints.

He has won 2 Brownlows.

Have heard from Carlton mate that the Blues are very confident of beating us, because of our WA game and short turnaround before it. Stats seem to show that teams are affected by a 6 day break before games in Perth.

I was really saying in answer to Pickett it is not a mirage. It is achievable and a bit of compromise or ingenuity could see it happen.

Safe on that front.

It’s a huge reason why they make finals every year. They rarely lose at their home fortress where everything goes their way.

I see it, I hear it, I feel it, I can taste it.
