  1. This new Carlton defence is so frightening. 
     

    I laughed when the experts highlighted this new Carlton defending when they beat us. 
    We scored 90 odd points in first gear. 
     

    They’ll need Cripps and McKay to kick 12 between them every week to be a chance. And Cripps can’t even drop it onto his boot straight.

  2. I’m not surprised some are defending Bevo. People will plant their flag on any old dung heap and die on that hill, just to be heard these days. 
     

    Chopper’s image and Britney’s meltdown. 
    Journalism across the board is in the gutter. But like your mate Che Guevara, pick your battles. This wasn’t it. This was Tom doing his job to a decent standard for once. About a regular player not playing. Who gives a [censored]? Then you try to sneak him back in to look like the info was wrong, then admit it’s right and you’ve got a leaky ship. Unprofessional comedy capers. 
     

    And the mental health card, I’m sick of that [censored]. People use it for anything and everything. 
    Crashed a car, mental health. 
    Caught racking up, mental health. 
    Banged your mate’s missus, mental health. 
    Report on leaky team news, you guessed it. 
    Makes a mockery of people having actual issues.

    I think this is a bit unfair. I think Brayshaw may be the best kick on his non-preferred side within the whole team. His right foot kicking could be better, but I've seen a lot worse.

    Brayshaw uses his non preferred the most but it’s rarely a good kick. 
     

    Kozzie is the best on his non preferred.

  4. He is more like Dangerfield than Dusty, but simply stronger and a tad better. 
    But ultimately the big games set Trac and Dusty apart. They thrive on the big occasions whereas Danger tries too hard and his class drops (which he lacks sometimes anyway). 
     

    I still find it hard to believe I’ve finally got champions on my team. For years I’ve talked to mates about them having Pendlebury and Buckley or Hird or Robert Harvey or more recently Dusty. I’ve been envious. I had Stynes growing up but even that isn’t the same, he was a workhorse. 
     

    Having Trac and Oliver and Gawn in the headlines week after week. Mates talking me about being jealous of our midfield and how good x or z is….it’s a foreign feeling, it’s about time and it’s awesome.

    Tracc was special. And delicious.

    Not quite ready to say we’re on par with Richmond yet alone above them and Hawthorn. Not sure what Bruce is saying by calling us more exciting. The 3rd quarter burst will go down in history for sure, but otherwise I’m not convinced.

    The suffocating defensive pressure and crisp handball game of the Tigers gets really underrated because they had a few unfashionable role players. When they clicked in to top gear in grand finals they were a joy to watch. 

    And Hawthorn’s kicking and organisation changed the league entirely. 08, 12 (in a losing effort), completely shutting down Sydney in 14, they were a special side.

    Im glad we’ve got a chance to forge our own legacy but I think big statements are a little silly.

    Each to their own but Richmond were/are horrible to watch for me. Annoys the [censored] out of me when we get compared to playing like them. Defensive set up yes, everything else, no. 
    That rolling maul slap it on and anywhere style Richmond had with the ball was ugly as [censored]. They looked good when the skis got to the downhill part and Dusty was one out. 
     

    Since 3qtr time round 23 we’ve been more exciting than any team in recent memory. There were glimpses during the year. But that was a finals series for the ages. Good luck halting this momentum.

    I nominate @DeeSpencer and @picket fence to undertake an old-school school-yard pick-for-pick selection of teams from currently-listed AFL players, and then we can add a poll and the rest of us get to decide and argue endlessly over which is best. I just flipped a coin, and heads, Picket gets to go first, suitable karma for having 'Picket' in his handle before the drafting of Kysaiah  as opposed to Spencil. A full 23-man squad, with consideration given to team balance and playing spots. @WERRIDEEcan arrange the selections into final line-ups before we vote. Other challenger match-up suggestions are welcome, or even the inclusion of a third or fourth party to make it extra interesting. 

    A bunch of us did this years ago on here. 
     

    I only mention it because I went alright.

  7. Adelaide got slightly better. 
    Carlton got better (shaking in my boots). 
     

    Apart from that, sweet [censored] all. Successful trade period by us even if we did absolutely nothing. 
     

    Oh I forgot Max will need a huge preseason to combat the 80 point gap Geelong just closed by obtaining Ceglar.
