….we aren’t the most polished midfield… Really? Who is?

ABC commentators lamenting draw with Tigers, Pies, Druggies not going so well after 5 day break. We got North. Maybe we should play Essendon and Pies v Tigers either side of Anzac Day short breaks.

I reckon Weid looks better on the Wing at Essendon. Didn’t mind him there with us. Less pressure/contest.

4 and 10 all day. Saw a list of top 1 -10 selections since 2000 v the 11-20 picks. First list is a galaxy of club captains, Norm Smiths, AAs and champions. Few gems in second list but would get pantsed everyday by the top tens. JT well beyond Luke Moylan and Carl Morton

RIP Troy. Petty kinda reminds me of him.

..and Dusty. Believe the media and some other teams referred to it as “Michael Hibberd role” to quell Dusty. Similarly Demon supporters never saw much of the “great” Royce Hart. We had Gary Hardiman.

Remind me about Matt Rowell. Wasn’t he similar? 9 Brownlow votes first 3 games then injured. Only a “good ordinary player” now. Please correct me if I’m wrong. All in on an unproven kid. Sheesh - I go back as far as John Tilbrook. I hope we have two in the top ten and take the best two when our turn comes.

Colemans, Brownlow, MCLellands, AA etc etc - the only thing I care about is Max holding another Cup

Learn from it. Get it repaid to us in a BIG FINAL. Against a team bonding at Hoyts last night.

Yeah, watching it alone, Covid; think it was ANBs goal - put us 62 points up, I realised MFCSS was done and not even WE could lose it from here. The boys were chest bumping and those last few minutes I knew there’d be red and blue streamers and glitter as the cup was presented. Thought it only happened to others.

If Kozzie goes no chance of recruiting Bedford back from GWS? Was only 2 years I think.

Signed with Hawks until 2027. I come to this forum for knowledge and proven inside goss

Anyone who ever visited Windy Hill will know why they are my most hated. Also dates from school in the sixties. Every thug there had Alan Noonan’s 10 on their back. And 1968 was last time they won a final coached by anyone other than Sheedy - before man walked on the moon

Recent footage/audio had close up and sound of Luke Parker in real game time. I’d be in ICU first tackle. Elite footballers get crunched - like being hit by motorcycle - who get up for third and fourth “repeat efforts”.

Have good trip - down to Makati immigration office soon for visa extension. Melbourne in May. I watch AFL.com $44 month

Where are you in Manila? How long? I am north Luzon - San Carlos, girlfriend studies Nursing at university here

Woey betide

UNAVAILABLE/Injured Gawn GF Salem GF Harmes GF BBB GF Jordon GF Melksham Tomlinson Smith who else have I missed? and a few other youngsters starting to break the door down at Casey

Jeff White also.

Maclure, Jimmy and Perovic woulda got the bus and driven back to Princes Park

Heard David Glasscott on this; ”Can you imagine Carlton in the early 80s, Sellars, Jimmy Buckley, Val Perovic putting up with being tied to a tree?”

Ok - someone above corrected me - I had similar (wrong) memory of TIM Smith

Nope. early teens we had tall forward, Casey regular. First game v Geelong, I think Jamar went down. Kid had to ruck. Sure it was a Smith. Brother in law taught him, up Belgrave way

Not keen on JVR potentially rucking. Terry Smith forced to in his first game from memory. Not sure it helped his career.
