Now that's what I call forward craft!

Legit. It's taxing playing us.

I'd say so, but only inside the 4 walls and one week at a time.

I think it's a great move putting Joel in there this week and he's really earned the opportunity. Hard work pays off.

I'll take it

The only tall that works as the sub is the one that is playing this week.

C+ is probably more accurate.

Exactly. All for attainment.

King Smithy gets the nod. In the words of Star Wolf: "Let's see what you got".

Good luck with that.

Let's all try and enjoy a good weekend of footy and hopefully a good win.

I am really glad to see some credit given to umpires for a change. That is one heck of an achievement and should be celebrated like any milestone. Good job @La Dee-vina Comedia!

I hope West Coast beat Essendon and am going to tip them.

Nah.

Appreciate your view and for the most part he has been just defending their character and integrity, yes. I've just heard from him a lot this week on it and SEN on Wed night seemed a little too boys club for me. We're not going to gain much more hearing from ex players on the issue in my opinion.

Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me. I've never felt more of a 'scripted' feeling about the media more than this year. In wrestling terms this would be known as a 'work'. Guess it is sports entertainment after all!

My brother is in Japan right now. Might have to put in an order!

I know Kingy irritates a lot of people but he's not afraid to call BS when it's there. Those two have worked well together on radio and there is mutual respect but when things need to be called out King shows good character. And it absolutely is true, the volkano would have gone off. He should have stayed out of this one and if he was pressed on one of the TV shows then maybe a brief defence of Fisher's character in general and that's it. He's commented too much on the incident itself, talking about how hard it is in the moment for doctors and tending to a million things through the course of a game. And while we're on the topic of 'good clubs sticking by good people' Kane, why is your club so hesitant to give the coach a new deal?

Absolutely. But on top of that I want GC to beat Adelaide so there is some kind of buffer above Freo.

Always DemonFrog! Always!

Great show as always but I definitely had some of my own perceptions challenged a bit. I also thought JVR's off the ball pressure was a bit off this week but I took the view that if he was marking most balls that came his way then that stuff didn't matter as much. Of course it does though and I agree come finals it would need to be at a much better level than what we saw. I'd still have him in the mix for that spot but the forward setup is by no means set for finals yet. The Tomlinson stuff I do agree to an extent, he got lost out there on Sun but I do think he's capable of playing as the 3rd tall providing the opposition has height. It's such a shame that Turner got injured because I would have loved to see him in that role a lot more this year. I would just hate to see a situation where May pushes further up and Lever is left to do the gorilla 1v1 stuff, yes we'd also likely have Joel Smith as a sub but he can be flappy in 1v1 contests as well. It's going to be horses for courses there from here on in. Enjoyed thoroughly, I like having my personal opinions challenged instead of affirmed all the time and the level at which you guys study the games is what I come for. Appreciate your efforts. Shout out to @george_on_the_outer for his opening words and thanking Andy for being the one that makes this whole thing happen. It takes an extremely committed individual to produce a weekly podcast to this level of content/structure/audio production and do that on top of work and running a forum, even overseas travel doesn't stop him. It's easy to take for granted because he makes it look easy and I honestly have no idea how. Thanks Andy! *Embarrassing moment over*

Magnificent! The exhibition would have been something else!

One of the stranger things in selection this season with Goody saying Grundy will almost certainly miss but names him in the extended team. What's the point?

This is such garbage. 2 byes over 4 rounds? Really?

That sounds like an HB article for sure! Love his stuff and he's got a great knowledge of all clubs.
