whatwhat say what

who is this toby bedford and what did he do with the previous toby bedford?

deakyn smith looks a player

bedford is super aggressive

weed has 4 goals 2 from 10 kicks - he's having a day out

10.10.70 to 4.3.27 at half time nev absolutely dominant through the midfield, joel smith killing it with rebound from d50, and bedford, weed, and brown doing it all up forward

weed on fire

george grey literally throwing the ball up in the air on his set shot approach is VERY weird but he looks a good size as a 20 year old prospect channel 7's camerawork is atrocious

our vfl game will be on kayo 'freebies' which is the foxtel way of getting you familiar with the platform so they can drive toward subs

He and Maclure are sour and mean-spirited commentators

He ran! And bounced it! And it NEARLY came back to him!! The frothing over him is extraordinary - good tap ruckman and wins some exciting clearances once or twice a game...but that’s all He was robbed of his best years with knee knacks - I expect if he hadn’t been so he would’ve developed into a lot more of a threat around the ground

i don't think the coaches / players etc. will have their eye off the current contest but i do definitely think that the build-up for the game against geelong was clearly fairly significant and a bit of a 'pressure valve' moment; how the players respond in the wake of that and also losing the bookends between that game and this upcoming one will be telling

also bullied the ball forward in the contest when he had his 'turn' rotating thru the centre square he wasn't nearly as poor as some on here are making out

his twin does it too they're naturally talented sportsmen who are used to starring with ease - both have a lot of work to do i think that's one of the key advantages jackson has over them; representing oztraya at underage level basketball has him knowing that there's people out there who are more talented and harder working than he is, and from what we've seen so far his 'desire to compete' is high

what about tinder?

yeah, only heard that after i'd speculated of course, even a non-appearance as a med sub counts as a game played, so... you'd think the med sub will be one of jordon / sparrow / melksham / jones or potentially rivers, although i am loathe to change the back 7 too much when we're already losing may

25 and unders are okay - billings, marshall, steele, howard, butler, gresham, clark, coffield, bytel, king all should be good long-term afl players but they're all a bit...vanilla, maybe?

any clue who we had after Rowell, Jackson, Green?

32,056 there Bit low, but maybe 30k is the new 40k?

IN: m brown, petty OUT: may, fritsch jordon the sub this week

mitch brown, your time is now

i remain convinced cos it's outside tv ratings cycle ch 7 won't want to spend the $$ to broadcast in prime time when it's not valuable from an advertising perspective

i'll be going with: tiggas meth coke footscray swans pear bears crows us cats no real confidence in tiggas, meth coke, pear, or bears first time all year i've felt reasonably confident that we should 'get the job done' which means, inevitably, that we won't, if my mfcss hold true

godwin's law

Fortunately it doesn’t matter

interesting that while we are getting deals done, the likes of zerrett and billings are holding off
