whatwhat say what

aints are a completely different side when they have the ryder / marshall combo up and going they've been terrible closing out games in 2021 tho so i have no faith that they'll get this done this evening

carlton's skills are embarrassing

just finished the replay that backline tall combo of bradtke, joel smith, and turner worked an absolute treat, plus jetta taking care of business as always bradtke impressive behind the ball declase is class, bowey is super promising, sparrow and melksham look ready for afl, avb is a battering ram, weed is tall and works hard but doesn't take his marks, chandler and bedford okay but nothing amazing, and could ellison be the next fritsch - undersized tall forward type? lots to work with to keep the pressure on the senior players

more boort 3rds...

Yet Plugger Mac conceded the free against the pear…

gawn, plugger mac, and another player hidden under a cap all in the huddle at quarter time too

just catching up - nearly at quarter time - but i'd say bradtke looks pretty okay behind the ball? bowey looks a ripper, melksham is everywhere around the pill, and weideman is miles better moving up out of the 50 rather than being an i50 target - you definitely can imagine that they presumed it was going to be weed / sideshow in the forward structure for the mfc before t mac's 'good to see you're not wasting your career anymore' comeback in 2021 declase looks very promising

langdon is by some margin the best wingman in the game this year but i fully expect the all oztrayan selectors to stick with tradition and name ostensible on-ballers on the wing (walsh, macrae, or miller) and half-forward flanks (petracca, bontempelli) in terms of the squad at the moment i'd have may, lever, salem, gawn, oliver, petracca, langdon in it, but only expecting one of may or lever in it, plus gawn, oliver, and petracca but who knows how the final six rounds will play out and how recency bias influences selection

will make recovery etc. vital for the dogs match the following weekend

yep - peptides don't have much experience but a lot of their players in that 30-70 game range are relatively 'old', e.g. stewart and hind are both 27, cutler 26, laverde, wright, and waterman 25, redman 24 they have a couple - literally; cox and perkins - of exciting first year players plus jones who is only in his second year who should be super for them, but given their age profile and list demographic they really should be a finals side

at least with no goals it'll be over quicker

chalk and cheese with the pressure in tonight's game compared to last night very average watch so far

us! peptides hawks blues bears gw$ footscray? tiggas meth coke really think the dogs could be challenged by the swans...well, i hope so at any rate!

and he even kicked with his right foot!

boak to plugger: "good to see you're not wasting your career any more" whack!

brown blocked his defender from impacting the contest allowing jackson the free run to mark (and goal)

one of the most egregious bits of commentary last nite was when i think the lesser mclachan said after plugger had kicked another goal that 'his action isn't the smoothest' what a nong he literally has the PERFECT set shot approach

no change unless there's an unreported or emerging injury concern

thoroughly satisfying viewing save for our set shots it was a pretty intense, final-like pressure for the first three and a bit quarters before we 'broke' them

6: Petracca 5: McDonald 4: Oliver 3: May 2: Pickett 1: Salem that was fab

interesting to see that the pear are sticking with two genuine ruckmen - lycett and ladhams - plus three tall forwards - dixon, georgiades, and marshall our workrate from the backline moving the ball forward is going to be so important in this game - salem, hunt, rivers, hibberd, plus brayshaw working back and then moving it at speed and with accuracy is vital

Very good defender; undersized but ‘plays’ tall Reckon he might go to Fritsch, with Aliir on Brown and Jonas on Plugger Mac

the pear don't 'lose' players, more or less super professionally well run club

lots of media running with the story that son son walters has had a falling out with longmuir, which is why his form is so far down this season 31 at the start of next season, if he was going 'on the cheap' we'd be crazy not to be keen you'd think

place the troll on ignore folks
