Sam Mitchell too!

Why stop at 9th and 10th? How about two games in the bye week 9th vs 11th and 10th vs 12th for the chance to play in the spots suggested above? Extend the season another week, wasn't a problem for Gather Round! More football, more happy! 😝

So we'd like to once again become the only league in the world where 50% of the teams make finals. We complain how the season is long and have too many junk time garbage games late in the season but we'd like to have more, not all seasons have the same logjam outside the 8. In MLB you have best of 5 and best of 7 game playoffs but a one game wildcard so there is at least a differentiator. In NBA it's 7 all the way through with a play in tournament which is too many teams as mentioned above. But honestly who cares what I think? I'm tried of hating on something for tradition sake that will probably just go through anyway. If they want to do it they will do it.

Yeah look that is a good way to look at it. It's easy to get sucked into the week to week, the reality is that he will get his chance again. They've played 13 games together, not a tiny sample size but not massive either. We don't know what we don't know and I'm looking forward to when Grundy gets his shot again.

I'm in

I think the idea was for Grundy to play slightly more ruck time than Max rather than a 50-50 split and we saw that in a lot of games this year. Personally I think 600k a year is decent coin when you could potentially save it to throw at a key forward. I'm glad you don't care what the media thinks and think for yourself, it's a good quality to have as a fan but unfortunately this situation just creates another media circus that we frankly don't need right now on top of the debacle of Clarry's injury. It was always going to be a risk and was always going to be criticised accordingly if it looked like it wasn't working and how long does Grundy need to rot in the VFL before taking over? Damian is allowed to write on this and its not far fetched no matter how much we hate media picking on us.

Get stuck in and have a go!

World at his feet this guy, anything is possible!

I don't give a damn who they are, throw the book at them.

Brody Grundy was sold a pup

Yep 2nd'd, I'm not doing it!

I don't think Freo have a lot of excuses personally, I think they really just need to look in the mirror.

Gus was brilliant on Friday. The irony being that after doing the job on Neale he was somehow free for that last kick to Melksham.

Hahaha thought this was the case

Whoever said we were lucky to win or stole it doesn't know a damn thing about football.

So happy that Judd McVee finally has his nomination. Much deserved and one of the true rising stars of the year.

Next time you'll be first I promise.

The important thing is that you'll be back!

I don't mind the article and honestly from the outside looking in says what a lot of people are thinking. Bringing in a 29 y.o 2 time AA ruckman on big coin then telling him to go back to the VFL to work on his forward craft just looks weird. Why would you buy a Ferrari then be upset when you realise it doesn't do off-road all that well?

How did we go?

Adelaide being poor away from home does not enter my consideration in this game. If we don't turn up we will be beaten. I don't know how many times we need to have a comforting stat disproven to know that it can be danger. Whether it's playing GWS off a bye, best 4th quarters going into the last against Port, most accurate team after 8 weeks or whatever, it all means toss unless we actually turn up.

I'm perfectly fine with a general conversation about umpiring decisions it's just frustrating when that's the main talking point in the heat of the moment while watching a game when in my opinion there should be higher priorities. The dissent rule is a good example of the rule of the week garbage that is making it harder to watch. We can do without the flavour of the week stuff.

You were actually the first person I thought of when I wrote it 😜

What side of the grass are YOU on?
