harmes in qld

Absolutely no idea. It does mean I am spending to much time on social when I should be working

Trac posted on insta from the plane 1 hour ago. Harmes posted 1 hour ago about the gym he goes to and 10 mins ago about hannebury retirement. That's all I got.surely some demonlanders /airport workers have some Intel!!

I agree harmes over sparrow offers more to the team. The 5 day break playing on a wet ground in Casey might be a factor, but he was sub the week previous with Casey having a bye so hopefully he is fresh

Agree wouldn't be a tick in the plus for Clarko when he is weighing it up. Honestly sack him let him coach his last game with dignity and move on. It's really disgusting , how the club can ever claim to be one that looks after its staffs mental health after this .

Sending in photos of old tests would be more to do with not wanting to shove a thing up your nose twice a week when you are feeling 100% healthy with no symptoms. You could call it Laziness. I personally know of people at the 2 different AFL at clubs not named who have done it. My kids are still getting sent home with Rats and I'm not making them test unless they feel ill or have kids in their class confirmed cases

Grass roots footy, absolutely particularly in the bush. I attend lots of local games both in the suburbs and the bush and the facilities at 90% of clubs are horribly old and not really fit for purpose. That's without even considering the additional facilities needed for women's teams. Also lack of umpires in local comps is a major issue. But suspect they'll spend all their time on how to spend the tv money and extracting more from government's too make/renovate AFL stadiums

I'd be backing dodoro to survive that standoff. Bloke must be an expert politician behind the scenes or some photos or perhaps both.

C'mon if we are 4 goals up we all know the answer. We shut up shop and get rolled

I thought Cripps and settefield with their height in the middle causes us issues at times. Cripps is 195 settefield 192. They where able to get first hand or an intercept touch on the ball often. I was thinking maybe we should have tried dogga in there with Gawn at once stage.

Weid ain't coming back in. Telling comment from Goodwin at his after match presser when asked about Melksham and when commenting on his form and the he made his way back into the team goody mentioned that we don't have tom McDonald and we needed someone to complete airially . I thought about weid straight away. He was bought in and didn't complete enough for Goody's liking .I tend to agree. I think weid has a line though his name barring injury emergency.

I posted on another thread how the may kicks to packs in on the left side of the ground in the last qtr after doing it all game/year was nearly the death of me. Must have done it 5-6 times in 5 minutes and it just kept coming back in. What infuriated me was not only the fact we often had 1-2 players alone on the right side. It was the fact we didn't even glance to that side to see them and just went with ol reliable despite being behind

Brown is playing a thankless role that isn't really his go. He is at his best a lead up inside the forward 50 goal kicker. He is being made to play the get it of jail long kick into a contested pack role and doing ok. Bringing it to ground and having a crack with a dodgy knee. We don't win tonight without him in the team

He was playing wing at the time, shouldn't ever play there again, been pretty bad wherever he has played wing

100% has to happen

That was fun in the end, but excruciating for 95% of the game. Our refusal (mostly May) to kick to the other side of the ground out of defence when we had free players in the last qtr was nearly the death of me. Long to Brown all night was terrible, also the fact we never where at the fall of the ball. The bloke playing on Brown had an AFL record for spoils .

We have a 2 day minus travel break on this mob, we seriously should be running over the top of them. No point peaking fitness in the last week of September if we aren't there

The move the ball as slow as possible kick to him out numbered 3 to 1 tactic isn't helping

St Kilda has max king, we have our entire forward line (minus Fritsch cameos)

Surely we run over the top of a team who played interstate last week. 2 days after us

I know Langdon likes his wing but mix it Up. JJ ends up doing all the work taking hits, while Langdon racks up kms

Looking ok, clouds have lifted no rain atm

Thunder rumbling in my area. 15 min from the g

I thought Max's goal kicking technique was bad. King is atrocious. Spins it in the hands and his grip is totally wrong. Surely he should go around the corner everytime. His drop punts are no chance with the way he kicks them

Unfortunately can't see the Saints winning this. They are pretty ordinary
