Hope you have a great day.

Disagree. We low balled him on a contract offer and he ended up T the team he supported as a youngster. He would still be a Demon if we wanted him.

Actually their 3 leading forwards, Cameron, Patton and Greene.

Funny.

Has there been a better interchange than Kelly, Coniglio, Deledio and Corr?

A Pies mate told me he was not good enough to be best 22, at the time we got him. Thought it might be sour grapes. Don't think so now. Jeremy Howe a chance to be AA. That makes it a great trade.

The reverse of the Gibbs situation. That could help. Goose/gander.

There is no precedent at the MRP, or when the shoe is on the other foot. Also at the time Scott left, he was seeking a compassionate release for a family issue. Not sure we ever found out what that issue was, or if there even was one. However, if indeed there was an issue, we did the right thing.

Will go beautifully on the mantelpiece.

I would, but agree it won't happen.

Sports Entertainment Network, I think.

Would love to be a fly on the dashboard, listening to the scintillating conversation.

More reasons than usual to win this week.

And then again he might not. Not sure if the umpires are big on the quick handball clearance.

Next?

You are not kidding. Just about have guaranteed finals.

Young Pies seem pretty desperate to win. Dont seem to have any problem laying a tackle either.

Agree.

Agree. I think I posted after his first game with us he was my new favourite player. Thank you Jason Taylor.

Agree.

Again Wise you have oversimplified. I didn't say there were no positives it was a discussion on why we lost and tackling. I agree we have much to look forward to. Disagree we are an "unbelievably good footy side " when we get it right. I would say we are an improving team, that when playing well can play good footy and match it with anyone, but which is still prone to bad days, due possibly to inexperience and poor skills being exposed by some. Also, not forgetting that we have had a shocking run with injuries and suspensions this season. PS. Some positives: Played poorly and just lost. Umpires helped North in last quarter especially. Jones and Vince to return. Weideman, Smith, King and Maynard, some of the kids to look forward to. Oliver is the AFL clearance king in second year. Viney had probably his worst game of the year.

More chance of me winning tattslotto next week, than Danger going out, now if it was Bernie.

Wise we are talking about yesterday. I watched the game with my family and we were all saying why can't they tackle properly? We missed many tackles and many others were just totally ineffective. That is fact. Yes there were other things that caused the loss and here are a few of them. Dumb football, lack of pace and poor disposal, yet again ( my hobbyhorse ). Handball madness on a windy day. ANB handballing twice on the 50 for certain goals when Garlett was free and then TMac was free ahead, both handballs misdirected to North. Petracca refusing to kick ( 2 kicks and 17 handballs and 3 holding the ball as a result ). Players handballing to players in worse positions, when a kick clears the pack and creates the play. Garlett and Tom Mac missing set shots from 5 and 10 metres respectively. Hogan getting injured. Disgraceful umpiring again in the last quarter. 8 frees to nil. About 5 blatant frees to us not paid some a few metres from our goal. Hopeless diposal from some, especially Tyson, the turnover king of the AFL. Plenty of ball and nearly always turned it over. Disgraceful. Forget his possessions, he was one of North's best players yesterday. He is a real problem. Can you explain why a player with a gale behind him, running to 50 with the footy, looks sideways for a team mate and then handballs, usually poorly, creating the chance for the turnover when he can score with a kick? It is dumb football and just madness. Players not going to the goal line to defend and be able to come forward to the ball, when Brown or other North players, were having a shot from a fair way out. At least 2 goals were scored by North this way, when a player on the goal line would have marked the ball or at least rushed a point. The Coaches not reacting to our play and North's. An inability to play the ground, as Goodwin conceded. Lack of pace generally. Unfortunately this will see JT not being selected for us again. Great guy who can't run. I felt sorry for him as he jogged around, a shadow of his former self. Lack of a champion to lift the side. Poor games by Viney and Watts our leaders and several others like Hannan, ANB. Apparent lack of desperation needed given what we were playing for. The above were some of the reasons we lost.

Think you are oversimplifying it. Our tackling yesterday was disgraceful. It is not the attempt that is relevant, it is the result. Putting an arm out is an attempt.

Roos have picked a far better side than last week's, which nearly won.
