If Grundy goes, we will pick up an aging ruck, or 2nd tier ruck for a couple of years, until Verall and KF develop.

Correct. Dunstan gets leather poisoning every game, but turns it over more than anyone I have seen. Last week there was a stage where I think he he had 4 turnovers in a row, just kicking passes to the opposition. A Saints mate told me when we got him that it has always been his issue. I think he will leave this year.

If you are playing Pies in a QF or a semi or PF later, I would prefer it in a QF without N. Daicos and Moore just returning from a hamstring. Beat them and it’s a PF at the G, likely against an interstate team. That is our best chance of getting to a GF imo. Then again a home QF against an interstate team is a big chance for a PF too. Who knows?

Agree he is a whipping boy and I admit whipping him too and that is uncomfortable for me, as he is a really lovely guy and did something for my grand daughter’s birthday, which all of us really appreciated. I congratulate him for sticking it up everyone like me and being a MFC premiership player and now playing his 150th. Have a great game and a big win. Keep it up Nibbler and keep sticking it to those who knock you.

But isn’t that the problem, that he doesn’t get 15 possessions? Old 55 posted a stat that he has only had more than 10 kicks 12 times in 96 games. That is the issue with Spargo, great user of the ball but doesn’t get it enough. Change that and we have a valuable contributor. Atm I can’t see how Kozzie, Chandler, ANB and Spargo play in the same forward line.

Congrats Max, a great bloke, player and Captain. Hope it’s a big win for you. Well deserved milestone after a rocky start.

Me too. Every time I try and load a photo DL won’t let me. Don’t know how to find or share/load gifs. I am just an old fart.

Sounds good. Can you organise that flag.

They still have talls in Kozitsche, Denver-Barass and Brady who all played forward last week. Tommo should play.

Talk that Hawks keen on Duursma. Roos just need to say to Eagles take Curtin and we take Reid or the reverse. That way Roos get Reid and keep compo for McKay, probably end of Round 1 and maybe get Sanders from NGA, as special assistance. We could therefore be looking at next cab off the rank, if Dockers lose next two and Suns beat Roos in last game.

Up on the Gold Coast and Pacific Airshow on for next 3 days right in front of my balcony. Gee those guys can fly, really scary to watch.

Daisy, the first one that came to mind was Really Pathetic Foolish Clown, but I didn’t post it, as it might have upset him, so I settled for Resolute Peerless Football Club.😉

Cripps threw the ball at least 3 times and dropped it twice when tackled and Dow threw the ball with both hands up high and no free, nor comment from the broadcast. Max blocked in most obvious block I have seen, front on, with 30 seconds left, which stopped him getting back for a mark. Yet they pay slight arm touches. Again nothing from commentators. Probably 9 holding the ball frees to 2 in their favour.

Look at the full front on block on Gawn, running back to take a mark, twenty out from our goal seconds later. Put him on the ground. Player ran at him and knocked him over, off the ball. Umpire was right there. Most blatant free of the night not paid.

Are they dividing princes park into farms now?

If only. Would be the get of the off season. No chance.

Yes, well he needs to shut down the circus. He is more bitter than uncle.

Mine tasted like cordial.

But it takes people to ask them to do it first.

More [censored] from the ex President and his partner in the Sun. Will it never end?

Good points.

I recall a game some years ago, against the Eagles in Perth, where with a minute to go to half time the frees were 15 to Eagles and none to us. We were playing well and every time we looked like scoring, another Eagles free to stop us. Just before the half time siren went, we got our only free for the half, in the back pocket. It didn’t improve much after half time and we lost, but not heavily and Dees fans were filthy. I think one commentator said oh Eagles are getting a good run and that was it. Umpires do affect games occasionally and that, while difficult to stop, is a pity. I have never seen a more one sided umpiring display since, thank heavens.

If we can win one of the next two, we will have a home final against the Pies without Nick and a double chance. That’s probably our best result at this stage.

Could lose next 2 as well and probably need Suns to beat Roos in last.

Sunday to Sunday 7 days.
