Get it done swiftly. Leader, important to the culture and the example of working your backside off.

Could you really see them taking the bold new path though? it's a shame but with everything that has happened they were likely going to opt for stability. I would have liked to have seen something different though. Someone from club land like Brendan Gale would have been a great choice and I would have liked to see Kylie Rogers go further in the race as well. 24 years in media and responsible for the re-naming of Docklands to Marvel which has been a huge success. It was a good opportunity to forge a new path but I'm not surprised.

I'd love to see one of Turner of Schache given a run in this game.

I imagine this would have been one of the nicer forums to visit though 🙂 Definition of trap game. We've learned recently how switched on we need to be for these kinds of games, let's see it from the get-go!

If you're talking pure palming ability then I think you may be onto something. What Gawn does so well to me is vary his taps and his awareness of where his mids are has to be among the best. Taps forward, to the side, over the shoulder, I don't think I've ever seen anyone with the versatility and creativity of Max's hit outs. Having said that though, he's not the best pure palmer of the ball going round. Grundy was excellent in the 3rd and he was putting just enough weight on those taps to give our mids a chance. That kind of tap is like a Chess move where you think a few moves ahead.

Fair enough, I didn't see the ball knock as it was on the other side but that makes sense now. That's right on the 50, had he held for a split second longer I reckon they might have paid it.

Can we boost the talent pool over time enough to compensate? That's the question. Otherwise extremely happy for Tassie to be inching closer.

It will certainly be a massive lift when it's all done.

They do both move the same way. Not sure about much else yet.

I usually have the attitude of a pick in the top 3 being just as good but not all no.1's are created equal and by all accounts this kid is streets ahead of everyone else right now. If Taylor and co think he's the real deal then buy up big.

Does that mean we end up in the land of chocolate?

Gonna have to just call the club on this one I think.

Who was the Richmond player who basically hung there and then eventually walked it over the boundary line? If Gus's is deliberate over that then my next holiday is to Bolivia.

Mobile ruckmen are worth their weight in gold.

It all depends how well they think he can play. As long as we get top quality talent.

Affirmative action.

I saw it as a 50-50 contest with an attempt to deny possession. If there were other realistic options then it would be a different story but other than not committing for the ball I don't know what other option there was. The other thing is that this Twitter guy completely made up a rule that once the ball hit the ground it's no longer a spoil from a marking contest and therefore a qualifier for insufficient intent. This is no-where to be found in the laws of the game charter.

That's the spirit! Me too.

Completely goes against my understanding of the rule up untill now. I've been under the impression that if it's any sort of 50-50 contest then it can't be deliberate, whether it be in the air, on the ground, in a footrace kicking off the ground, whatever it may be.

Knowing this place there would still be someone who had a problem with it.

Definitely some howling warewolves around.

I got a question, my friend is having a lot of trouble accessing his mobile membership tickets. He clicks on the mobile membership button and enters his ticketmaster login but when he goes back to the ticket page and clicks the event it keeps coming up with an error message saying it can't login. He's logged into the app with his My Demon login, what could be going wrong here?

I'm just all round happy for the guy. He's someone who has not been handed anything to him and worked his butt off. His ability to chase, tackle and get scoring opportunities was a big part of what kept us in this game. His goals were all quality goals when it mattered, those moments needed someone who would step up and take responsibility which he did. Good small forwards do damage with few opportunities.

Newcastle deserve the CL spot now, credit to them.

Has all the tools, it's really just going to come down to health over the journey.
