yes he was -
we were top 4 last year, we're top 4 currently - it's not like we've hugely dropped as a result of jj and grundy (not) playing for us in terms of grundy, jj, and bedford i would currently rather have jvr, windsor, and chandler in our starting 22 i know we have a very strong history that we 'don't leak' but generally when the media is (wildly) speculating as to what players are potentially on the move we are never discussed but both these guys seemed to be an exception last year

everything about the way he's developing screams 'afl-level attributes' to me just gotta get the fitness base in place
-
vice-versa for mine; want the run of tom going with cameron up the wings i'm more worried about how mcvee covers all of stengle, miers, and close; i assume lever goes to henry which means rivers and howe with whoever mcvee doesn't take closest to goal, with woewodin offering defensive help as well it should be a cracking game

Isn’t it literally called that? or the ‘Anzac appeal round’ or some such It’s painted on the broadcast wing

interesting that he talks about investment funds being the next avenue for financial growth - dees got onto that VERY early thanks to chippendall and de crespigny, i think it was, recognising it as an avenue of growth that was outside the 'business of football' helped by joe getting Bentleigh club etc. on the cheap and then mfc selling it at the top of the market to have the funds to invest obviously

100% we're never going to be as big as the filth, the baggers, or the peptides but i think everyone is well aware of that the puddy tatts have the distinct advantage of being mega-rich due to their stadium deal and their spread of western victoria support but we can absolutely compete with the likes of hawthorn IF we win multiple premierships during a 40 year stretch like they did from the 1970s to the 2010s - 11 premierships from 1976 to 2015 is just an extraordinary fillip to grow a supporter base friend of a friend from wa goes for them and i asked why he never switched to meth coke in the 1980s / 1990s and his response was unequivocal - he started going for hawthorn in the late 70s / early 80s cos they were always winning, always being covered by the media, and kept winning success begats success

a close game is a good game...i guess?

how many weeks for higgins
-
aints dragging the pear down to their level same thing the tigs did to us for the first half

gw$ are clearly the form team in the competition at the moment it's april

people are underrating how well disciplined yze has the tigs playing, particularly given the sheer amount of players they have on the sidelines currently easy to forget they knocked off sydney when they were absolutely flying in the first half they closed down space brilliantly and meant we couldn't get any ball movement going, our disposal was atrocious and gifted them scoring opportunities in the second half we continued to play the way we want to play - not a clearance-based game, but instead a post-clearance possession game - and we pretty much dominated as we expected
-
thoroughly enjoyed that, particularly that neither team won

right-footed fritsch
-
been an entertaining contest

annual leave is yr friend

gotta say it's a great start to a long weekend to win on a wednesday
-
chaplin in the pre-game interview was clear - he's a forward they love his ability to get to contests and at a minimum get the ball to ground i don't think he's at risk of being dropped, and as long as he's not injured he'll remain in our starting 22
-
and the dominant second half made a difference yze is a smart coach - doing to dees what he did to the swans a few weeks back and dragging it down into the trenches and turning it into a slog the difference is the bloods lost and we...doubled their score, and kept them to under 50 points
