Agree Rjay. I remember when Libba came out and said point blank that Carlton tanked and he was part of it. He was threatened by the AFL and recanted. Eddie admitted Collingwood had done the same. Wallace admitted the Tigers had done the same. There was reference to the Saints doing the same to get Reiwoldt and Kosi. Guess what, only one club has ever been investigated. Yes we tanked, just like many other clubs, but only us were put in the sh-t. Warner has got his hands on 80 pages of Interviews that could only have come from the AFL. Who has leaked them? that should be the question that is now investigated. Of course Essendon fanatic Robbo is up to his eyeballs in this and it is released when, on the eve of the Bombers must win game against the Demons. I hope we beat the druggies by 100 points and refuse to comment on 10 year old non news.

Yep.

Despite being a well known pessimist I am confident we will win this one.

I think the season starts this friday night.

Things are going well. The Vics have just won the Sheffield Shield for a 32nd time. Winx is still going strong. Bananas are still our favourite fruit. The Dees are on top ( whoops bottom ) of the ladder

Petracca is not the problem. He can and will be great when the other 4 forwards excluding Melk pull their weight and we also learn how to deliver the ball into our forward 50. It is hard to win when you have 2 on you, because 4 of your other forwards are so pathetic that their opponents don't bother with them and help out on Trac and Melk. How ANB is preferred to Billy or even Corey is beyond me. This BS about his pressure is just that. Go watch the 3rd quarter last night for example and see him beaten in every contest and then fall over and let his opponent start off another play that ends with a Cats goal. 8 possies at 44% is actually next to useless. That is at best 3 effective possies. When he then gets in the way of other players it just compounds. I did more for the Dees last night by simply going to that sh-thole of a ground and sitting there in the rain.

Me too. Trac had an off season injury and surgery I believe and is therefore needing a bit of time to find his best. If not for his set shot kicking last year, you would say he had a very good season last year. He will get back to that form. ANB on the other hand offers us nothing and in fact often gets in the way and costs us.

Well if you think a forward line with Tom Mc and no other key forward is ok then we don’t. Just btw Tom has been terrible so far and hopefully turns it around from tonight.

Don't think we have lost anyone we wanted to keep in the last few years.

Not sure if that is Jack's problem, but I have had PF as well and it is a nasty injury.

Break out the banana bread, the footy season is nearly here.

What, now we are discussing fixed horse races?

Round 1 and once again we have a long injury list.

29 degrees Saturday and then thunderstorms. Looking like a big day.

I was pretty stunned at that comment from an experienced Journo. He also said that Jesse was being spoken about in Perth in the same way as Cousins is. That is an amazing statement. Would be shocked if there are not some repercussions over those two statements by Ralph.

You mean the Thawks, the Tassie Hawks.

Now that is a nice video.

How bad must things be at the kennel? They are offering a free upgrade to a full club membership if a 3 game membership is bought. Make a mockery of membership numbers, unless they are categorized.

There is no real basis for that statement.

Hope you are right.

Now I am not sure. You could be right, we might be able to put Nieta on the LTI list and have another pick.

You realise that it was our last pick. We don’t have a pick mid season.

Agree Clint. While I wish Jay all the best, I am very surprised we didn’t take another ruckman. We have 2 mature ruckmen and a kid, yet despite having plenty of mids, we take another small one. The Hawks have McEvoy, Ceglar and Pittonet, yet still took another young ruckman, despite not having Mitchell. Would have thought our need was another mature ruckman as Insurance rather than another small mid.

Great highlight, but it doesn’t of itself make him best 22 or change my opinion.

Not so sure Hannan is best 22 now.
