Go the Biff

Sorry Gorg but I enjoyed that game

While he's not without some talent, I don't see how acquiring Shache improves our list in any way, shape or form

Vikings, Browns, Bills

It's not something we had to worry about for a good number of years but part of having a decent team is losing players who seek better opportunities. Tigers lost the likes of Dan Butler, Brandon Ellis (premiership players), Jack Higgins & Mab Chol. All sought the chance to play more senior footy. The longer we sustain any level of success, the more of these types we'll lose.

Depends on the job they're assigned. If it's a wide receiver & distributor, Bowey. But if you have to quell the influence of a dangerous half-forward, Hunt. So for example if we front the Tigers you'd assume Hibbo goes to Dusty, Who do you want on Bolton ? Bowey ? I doubt it. Who's next option ? And don't give me Joel Smith - he'd be too busy handballing to Tom Lynch in the goalsquare. Bowey got dropped for a couple of reasons - and didn't force his way back

Why should surgeries be announced ? In what way does that benefit the club or the player ?

Chiefs, Bills, Saints

You've got that arz about. He started as a forward. Was tracking towards the ton in his first season before blowing his knee up. Became a ruck after that

Bucs, Colts, Bengals

With Griffin Logue seemingly on his way out of Freo, what are folks thoughts on snaffling him to add to our defence. Thereby freeing up Harry Petty to become our "best KPF since David Neitz"?

Kane Cornes clickbaiting

Doubt it. If we win I reckon the plan will be for Melksham to go to Tom Stewart

Niners, Ravens, Colts. Good luck all

I'm always happy to give ticket agencies a whack - I've found it's generally a stressful experience no matter the event or venue size. In this case however it was pretty smooth sailing after 15 minutes "in the queue". Requested Best Available, had a look at what it gave me and thought yep, that will do. I figure the simpler I make the process at my end, the more likely I'll get a positive outcome. So I didn't shop around for seats in my "preferred" area. Was close enough anyway. Some changes I'd like to see 1) Sell the games on different days. That's a no-brainer. Reduce the traffic & server load by 50% and you reduce the risk of cokcups. 2) Premium members get their own window. Not necessarily the "best" seats but for the quids they pay out to the club they should be given a decent crack at getting tickets before we "plebs" have a go (sorry @Jaded No More, couldn't resist) 3) Reduce the 10 ticket to one membership allocation significantly. I got four tickets using my daughters MFC membership. Three for members, one for my daughter's non MFC supporting partner who has developed a strong affection for the Dees. But I could easily have used that same barcode to get 6 more tickets for some of my non Melbourne bogan mates. Then used my own barcode for 10 other non Melbourne bogan mates. Rinse & repeat with my other daughters barcode. I shouldn't be allowed to do that. Nor should anyone else have that capacity

Passionate. Considered. Forthright. I thought Jobe was brilliant. Easily the best I've heard him speak. So why does he dish up such tripe in his special comments role !

The commentator is nowhere near as [censored] as our midfield.

Might be a good time to pick at the Essendon carcass. They are lurching from shambolic to full catastrophe. Wonder if they have anyone interesting and out of contract

I think Saad has a shirtful of sore ribs. Weitering seems ok

My first reaction to this was hell no ! And then HELL NO !!! Not that I don't rate Grundy - he's a gun ruck who's had one severe injury. It's more the $$$, the age, the Collingwood factor & a heap of salary cap tied up in two ruckmen. But after rolling it around the grey matter for a while.... This is a contingency plan based on LJ going. It addresses two birds with the one stone We need another KPF for 2023. Sadly, there are none to be had. McStay is the best available & we have one of those in T-Mac.So there's nothing we can trade in. Looking further there's no way McKay or Curnow will be prised out of Carlton, the Kings are already signed for a few more years and North are not likely to give us another FF. Can't see much else on the horizon. We'll need a second ruck for 2023. Goody is keen on the two ruck model. The footy department will have thought this through. They'll have a plan for how they want us to play in 2023. They'll have identified Grundy's role and presented that to him. They'll have explained how this impacts on Max's role which would likely be to spend a lot of time as a key forward and how they will work in tandem. Max is obviously on board as he was in the meeting. Personally I'm not a fan of Max up forward. I think we become too "Max-centric" at the expense of other, better options. However our captain is something of a freak. Barring his tap work (as he rarely jumps any more) he has managed to improve an aspect of his game pretty much every year. Be it his field kicking, his decision making, his contested marking. Even this year his leading patterns as a forward have improved significantly. So if the big fella wants to spend the summer working on his forward craft with a view to reinventing his 30 year old self as the second coming of a young Paul Salmon, I ain't the one to tell him he can't do it.

That's it in a nutshell. ANB is horribly out of form - with the ball. Without the ball his running, pressure & work-rate are all still there. However if he was to be dropped, we need to find someone who can perform his function at his level & better. I don't think that's Chandler nor Bedford nor Lawrie. I wonder if that could be Harmes or perhaps Jordan with Brayshaw then returning to the wing.

Yeah, I'll go round again

Josh Jenkins has his say. Was in Group 1 with Eddie Betts Josh Jenkins Full Statement on the Adelaide Crows 2018 pre-season camp

I've not forgotten. He had no other intention but to injure. Would dearly love to see retribution in the form of a knee to the solar plexus at Cox's first centre bounce. Aside from that I don't mind the big Yank. He has a quirky sense of humour & deserves credit for carving out a career in a foreign game

Hah. Played a couple of years in that. Loved those unfenced grounds. If you followed the ball over the boundary into the spectators you'd cop half a dozen jabs to the kidneys on your way back on the field. Fun times !
