Wonder how much he'd be asking?

You do raise a good point WCW. The incident a few weeks back in the Freo and Dogs game where 6 Dockers ran over to rough up Lobb leaving Treloar open to kick a penultimate goal in the game made me angry, I couldn't believe they took their mind of the job so easily in such a big moment of a game. It was school boys stuff and a pathetic cardinal sin. I would like to see Max get a little more support from his teammates when possible because we do need to stick the broke bottle back in the faces of players that want to try this as it will happen again. However in most of those situations last week if we've got 3 guys running over the umpire is not going to wait for everyone to get stuck into each other, they will throw the ball up straight away.

It's a very fair question.

I just hope we win this week. We need to be better in the midfield to do so.

No. But yes if he does something really stupid.

That's it, embrace the big crowds. Get there early so there's no issues getting your seats etc. I've got mates who complain that it was easier to just rock up in the old days 5 minutes before and get your seat. Well with success comes more responsibility for us fans too. When we're cellar dwellers again then they can go back to cramming in as many beers as they can before bounce.

Good pickup Macca, almost in the exact same spot on the same ground. I think the only thing that got Lachie sighted in the first place was that he had some speed, which is pretty common when you're contesting for a footy.

This is very true, but everything always looks better when you remember it. Great post, no matter how annoyed I get with games like last week I try to remember it's still an enjoyable ride.

Don't need to take a class in burnout to know that this is how you get burnout.

For god's sake

After watching back some of the replay I counted Max getting his head targeted at least 3 times

That's what I'm thinking. Out for Freo then wait and see but likely return for KB.

I asked this in the ticketing thread but I don't think anyone knows.

Exactly. I loved 2021, we all did and the circumstances in a crazy way made it uniquely ours. But there was just a little something missing. You say it didn't feel quite real because it was in Perth, in the leadup to it and being cooped up at home and maybe watching the matches over Zoom with others it felt like a video game. I'll admit it was a bit better than that but there were so many things that I felt were robbed from us: I wanted to go to a Grand Final Parade. I wanted to be there at the G, I wanted to be there with my mate I've been going with week in week out for 15 years and possibly most of all I wanted to go to a next day celebration at Gosch's with all of you. My bro is a Cats fan and he got to go last year. I'm getting a bit old for bitterness but I must say I couldn't help but be jealous. Of course this doesn't mean the same thing for everyone, some people are very happy watching us on Kayo, some live interstate etc but these are the things that really mean something to me and many others. It is an itch that needs to be scratched. One more for the decade please.

Yep and I couldn't agree more. Monday night is ok at best but Wednesday night is just open lip service night.

The stepping left suggestion reminds me of the pirouetting action they said Viney should have done all those years ago.

This is exactly it. It's been a while since I was over there but they used to have some kind of affordable BBC cable service which had most games and then everything exploded to other services when all games became televised I think. It's madness to think you either need a season ticket to go each week or find some other way to watch.

Surely that one is retired. It would have to come up again in the form of something like: "Has Goodwin lost the touch?" Or "Is it time to change?"

Think I'm done with this subject, 1 day was enough.

Wow. I have English as All Australian ruckman right now and Derm has him 6th! Will close the door behind me..

You just know all this is leading to that.

That would be a bit exciting!

And that's where you have to win it on the big day.
