WTF. Flat out wrong to say Smith has no pace. He is one of our fastest (behind Hunt) and his closing speed to spoil etc is one of his strengths. He has many weaknesses but it is ridiculous to say he doesn’t have pace.

Sparrow is a miles better kick though

Essendon still look like a momentum team. Will be very handy on their day but were often ball watching/plodding in defence. Media pumping up Perkins and Cox post game. Perkins is understandable but Cox is just so meh. Dogs looking pretty much the same as last year.

Adjudication of the ruck has also been baffling. Fitzsimon has been very good this quarter

The amount of fumbles is a disgrace. A lot of players hearing footsteps. Two weeks is a row of rubbish (bar the final qtr last week). And not working hard enough as demonstrated by being out numbered at nearly every contest. They are capable of so much better than this.

Paxman doesn’t watch men’s AFL (or much football at all I think) and it shows. She has never been a very good decision-maker. Elite runner though and decent kick. Will go close to AA again probably but I’d pick Hanks before her every day of the week

It’s a joke that West is in the team with those kicking skills. We are really missing Maddy Gay

Haven’t seen us play this bad for years

It was one of the worst games I have seen him play (fair enough though, he had a torn hammy!) It shows what a champ he is.

Uh May was a almost a liability in the GF. Such a competitor that he was able to beat his opponent but there were quite a few moments where the hammy was limiting him. I wouldn’t be using him as an example that it’s ok to play unfit players.

There is no way Collingwood will finish even bottom 4. I was hoping that we wouldn’t be favourites because a good run with injuries and I think we are good things. I’ll pop a few bucks on anyway. Do it for Daisy!

Have you seen the Murdoch press?

Common things are common. Don’t go looking for the zebra. It is drilled into you throughout your training. I certainly wouldn’t be offering an opinion if I did have access to his medical records. People are constantly manipulating situations during this pandemic to suit their politics/agenda. Maybe I’m cynical, maybe you are naive.

I am a doctor. I have no specific knowledge of his admission but my medical training says that the booster being the cause of him being admitted to icu in those circumstances very very unlikely (especially in the context of his political views/agenda).

“I got sick from the booster. Oh and by the way I just realised I have covid”. Really?! 😒 I really doubt it was the booster alone (most likely just coincidental timing) that put him in ICU. This has no relevance to your average punter who doesn’t have his medical history/current covid infection and is irresponsible journalism given there is more questions than answers about what has happened to him.

That’s awesome! I’d be interested in a print

I heard Essendon were also keen and trying to trade up to get him

Injuries happen when your list profile is older. The tigers will be competitive next year but not for the premiership, even with a good injury run. I would be surprised if they have lots of injuries again and miss the 8.

Not sure if sarcastic… Goody and Taylor love good kicks. Those two players are questionable in that aspect

Weid will play more games than TMac next year

Bad kicks? Don’t think so

I think we would have him as one of our biggest targets but likely gone before we get a pick unless we can sneak higher

This narrative is absolute rubbish. There are surge plans right throughout the healthcare system that are being enacted (I am a healthcare worker). We are as prepared as we possibly can be. The nature of the virus makes caring for patients and keeping ourselves safe incredibly difficult. There is capacity to surge but it will be at the expense of elective capacity because the government and hospitals cannot do miracles. “No changes” is just so absurd that it completely undermines everything you say.
