  1. Off by himself doing minimal warm up. Why risk it?
  2. Lucky to break 50k based on what's here right now
  3. No surprise. A large chunk of our supporters won't even stand up when attending the cricket during a Mexican wave
  4. Our hard working Federal politicians had suspended parliament for 15 days. 3 weeks!!!
  5. No pressure on the kid if he plays. 1st game as a key forward in a high pressure forward line the way we have moved the ball the majority of the year is a disaster. If we move it as we did against Brisbane he will get some opportunities, but so would Melksham and the rest of the forwards. It's a ball movement issue more than a personal one
  6. Some discounted tickets available by following the links and promo code. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/723375 Edit. I also got an email from the MCC saying they will open up tickets to provisional members
  7. Not likely. I'll be going for sure but with no real enthusiasm at this stage. We are expected to win the real stuff starts in the prelim if we make it
  8. Ratugolea from the cats is rumoured to be looking around. One year left on the contract. I wouldn't mind him as a forward / ruck pinch hit for a relatively low cost. Rate him higher than weid and more mobile than b.brown. Would be happy to see him in demons colours
  9. Absolutely dived, might have been something there but he does himself no favours
  10. Geelong players are worse than us when it's hot, have been for the last 10 years
  11. Nailed it. Sydney have an abundance of tough, skillful, intelligent players. We have an abundance of tough players
  12. I thought the Brisbane have was a turning point as we finally looked to take the game on and work the angles and look at the result. Get back to the MCG we loose our dare. Was the most disappointing thing
  13. Gawn starting forward, Jackson in the middle brown on the bench to start reeks of trying to be too clever. Go with the A team midfield from the opening bounce. Spargo should never be on a wing. Kozzie should at least be tackling it chasing down if he can't find the footy. Plenty more I could rant about but I'm done for now . I need to go to bed
  14. Agree 100% the whole side from the punt road goals to the end of the members was rocking early in the third particularly after the Fritsch and sparrow goals.
  15. Boring zero risk for zero reward footy for most of the night. If Brisbane are our biatches we are well and truly Sydney's
  16. + Langdon that's it
  17. Feels like I've gone back in time to round 12
  18. Need more out of trac, Angus, gawn. Got out played in the clinchers. Anb, melk are having mares. Anb so off the pace it's not funny
  19. Good enough for Geelong
  20. Doubt his body could stand up to it given it can't usually stand up playing on a back flank
  21. Maybe if the selectors let people know their criteria. In my my if you are a club captain and good enough to make the starting 18 then You should be 1st choice . If their a more than one choose the captain they feel had the better year (Cripps this year) If it's just a lifetime achievement award just let people know to avoid all the ambiguity I think part of it is to generate discussion
  22. Equally as bad as when they gave it to Rance. AA captain is often a selectors favourite/lifetime achievement award
  23. Angus is the ultimate utility played back, wing on ball had a better year than rozee. Oh well all subjective I guess. Haha AA boundary umps how do they judge that!!???
  24. Didn't see enough Freo to disagree, but the AFL players MVP is for mine the least of the awards. Majority of players don't watch more than one game a week other than their own. Many none at all
  25. Can't stand him. Wait until he retires he will be force fed as a special comments man on every available platform.
