  1. I have issues with the number of people the have covering the game. 4 max 2 play by play, one special comments and one boundry rider. Channel 10 and 9 where mostly pretty good when they had the rights. Fox depends on who you get. 7 is deadset without fail always terrible. Even when you have intelligence like Daisy and leppa they are always outnumbered by 4-5 nuffies who kill the coverage
  2. Great win, we were much better for 70% of the game , more accurate set shots and take away some Port goals due to crappy umpire decisions and we win by 50+
  3. Outscored thyen that qtr, I'll take it
  4. Unbelievable, about the third time is happened to him. Play on
  5. At least the junk free to Dixon will keep Maysie and the team playing angry
  6. Let's smash these ferals. Hate everything about them
  7. How did Motlop get rid of that?
  8. Kossie, Spargo, anb on notice you'd think with Melksham, avba and Chandler ready to grab a spot
  9. I'm sure it's been mentioned in the previous 19 pages but when do teams get announced?

    Showed no respect for the jumper in the handful of games he played for us. Never forget him laughing it up with his ex Essendon teammates after a loss
  11. Frustrated
  12. Hunt was obviously sent forward with instructions to take the game on, which he did . Playing a role he hasn't done all year we where chasing the game, shouldn't have been in that position
  13. Exactly
  14. A smart forward leading to the right places makes a whole forward line function we are crying out for it with Tom doing his work up on the wing
  15. Yes. BB would be handy tonight. Would be leading to the right spaces and competing on the dump kick
  16. Thinking that myself. We need a target
  17. Yep come a long way with selection since the Pruess in a Cairns Hurricane debarcle

    I hope you are wrong too but basic Maths and history shows that HQ will have another leak . Just a matter of how much is spread in the community before detection. Another lockdown of some form is inevitable
  19. Same no excuse as we didn't bring it but the shorter ground threw our spacing out
  20. Who'd you have in?
  21. Forward entries horrible, picked out the opposition at least 6 times that qtr
  22. Can't drop sparrow after 19 disp and a goal and his ability to get straight into the contest and pace of afl everytime he is called upon. Melksham has to make way. So Langdon for Melksham easy . Selection had been spot on this year unlike the last two and goody had already dropped his mate melky before so I'm sure common sense will prevail

    I really like him as a player been watching him ever since he went head to head with Jesse Hogan in 2018 I think it was , didn't take a backward step that day despite the size difference
  24. Eddie left the place a total mess. Shows how good a leader he was towards the end
  25. You're right I did get the opponent confused. we got screwed in 98 in that we beat the lower ranked Adelaide in the first final then had to go through higher ranked opponents than Adelaide in the prelim despite fishing higher than then in the ladder and beating them in the first final. They changed the system the following year
