hells bells

Remember that last year, we were coming off 4 x 6 day breaks. You could see the players were stuffed by half time. Amplified in the 2nd half by Viney going off at half time and Bugg being rattled after belting Mills. im expecting a far different result. Dees by 6 goals.

Don’t they have a “captains run” the day before every game? They certainly do for interstate games.

JK just told 6PR that he'll be pushing for Brisbane (R23).

You make some good points DV8, but if Aliir goes forward who will play on TMAC/Hogan? Grundy is out. I didn't see all of the Swan's v Pies game, did Aliir take his spot? Where and how did Alex Johnson play?

When I wrote that I thought to myself that it just didn't quite sound right...

OMac On McCartin Frost on Buddy.

I'd be hitting the Swans with speed this week. I'd risk a rusty Hunt. In: Hunt and Melksham Out: Smith and JKH Bernie is the other who is in trouble. He was poor against poor opposition on the weekend.

I still want Gaff at the club. If he contributes to us winning a flag (which he certainly would) I'm willing to forgive a brain fade. We've all had one. Go Dees.

12 weeks is over. I reckon he’ll get 8

Win the next 4 and we’ll be second.

I forgot to add that part. Quick and a good kick was that other info I got.

Info from a contact in recruiting... Trialled at Brisbane, Adelaide, Essendon and St. Kilda before choosing Melbourne. 184cm. Likely position - half back. Lives with and best mates with Joel Smith.

I'd go with Petracca, ANB, Smith J., and Hunt. I thought Spargo looked a bit tired against the Crows.

This was flagged earlier in the week by a poster. Can’t remember who it was. From memory they said it was only a minor tweak. Hopefully it’ll only be a couple of weeks as opposed to 4...

Glass half full. We could be playing R23 for 2nd spot.

The Roar is the website that the article was taken from.

I noticed this too TGR. Looked a definite tactic.

I thought Smith was pretty good. His speed and athleticism are important to the team at the moment. I’d play him on Tom Lynch. OMac to Jenkins, Frost to Walker, Jetta to Betts.

I’d love him to get to 200 games.

I had teams on 13 wins missing out. 12 wins definitely not.

OMac to Hawkins Frost to Menzel will Harry Taylor play?

IMO The result will come largely down to our intensity and pressure. If we bring finals like intensity and hardness, similar to how we played v Port (minus the bombing) I think we’ll win. If we are slightly off we’ll get rolled. We will know within the 1st 5 minutes of the game. On this front, Viney is a massive out in this sort of game, he sets the tone for the manic attack on the man and the ball. Jones, for all his qualities, has never been able to do this.

Ha ha ha. That was mildly tongue in cheek.

Bailey Fritsch > Nik Nat

How did McKenna go Drunkn? Did he get through the game OK?
