whatwhat say what

Sparrow was very good in the practice game against a fairly strong Pies unit I would rather Lewis tho - he was good all preseason

god the instructions on the ptv site are confusing really unclear as to whether or not trains are running

rance out is a big blow for them but they can cover him more easily than if they lost nank his post-injury positivism is a testament to what a seemingly well-balanced chap he is, even for a happy clapper

Yep you were spot on!

ANB played 11 in his debut year, then only 4 in 2016, 19 in 17 and 25 last year obviously, playing in every game JKH played last 6 of the regular season before being dropped for finals

Terrible luck for Rance, and Richmond will have to juggle their backline - we managed it with Lever out, I’m sure they’ll find a way too It’s almost like the Tiggas went to sleep for two quarters Carlton’s skills are pretty ordinary but if they can use the corridor they move it quickly enough to hurt some teams...hopefully not us!

Probably because he unfortunately just doesn’t look quite an afl-level midfielder, which is really the only position he can play

As @Drunkn167 said, it’s great to see the amount of players we’ve got who had their first or second opportunity with us from out of the lower level, and are all very handy players

This is a massacre

Freo bringing the lols in week 1 of the season

Rockliff for mine

i am in two minds about it can see preuss coming in with both avb and sos missing; we need that big body throwing weight around, plus another marking target forward match committee will be a big one!

there'll be more peptides board members there than there are rusted on gw$ oranjes the scum v carltank - very interested to see if carltank are more competitive in 2019, but think tiggas will be too good the filth v puddy tatts - should be us not the cats playing in a big friday night game, expecting eddie's mob will get it done our game - who knows, i remain positively hopeful / hopefully positive the cows v poos&wees - can't underestimate little napolean, but expecting crows to be pretty strong this year footscray v cola - fully expecting swans will do a number on the dogs, buddy or no buddy bears v meth coke - everyone is expecting bears to climb this year, but i'm less certain tbh aints v gc17 - wow, talk about a sunday 1pm game...toss of the coin, i'll go for the franchise in a quasi-upset gw$ v peptides - not sure about either of these sides ahead of this season, but think the franchise will be too strong jokers v the future tassie - reckon ben brown could boot a bag here, even without jacobs to take care of fyfe

you wot m8? don't you realise it's the week of round 1 and nothing else matters?!??

I tend to agree

Bennell getting punchy with bikies Freo having a ripper offseason

Not hearsay, no Dunn needed a kick up the bum - he got it when he got jettisoned when he was a leader at the MFC who failed to follow team rules Howe’s transformation was slow - who can forget the frisbee fiasco - but he has matured markedly at the filth in the last 18 months You’re wrong re Lewis but nothing will change your mind on him

i'll go... B: Jetta – Frost – Hore HB: Lewis – O Mac – Hibberd ? Jones – Brayshaw – Salem HF: Petracca – T Mac – Viney F: Melksham – Weideman – ANB Foll: Gawn – Oliver – Harmes I/c: Spargo – Stretch – Hunt – Fritsch Emerg: Sparrow – Petty – Keilty – C Wagner but basically it's throwing dartboards at the wall in terms of players 15-26

howe was not a leader at melbourne, unless you were counting beer snakes on boxing day dunn failed to follow team rules lewis' leadership has been vital

jon ralph is running with the getting belted in the carpark / broken ribs angle too, at least on twitter

Nah, that’s yr MFCSS! any word on Ryder?

brad crouch and smith are like new recruits for the crows, and walker was clearly hampered last year, and was jacobs plus the whole camp fiasco clouded their entire year i think they'll bounce straight back into the top 4 too that list is quality

won't they also both the biggest winning margins of each weekend of their finals? obviously we were involved in the biggest margin in the third weekend too, sigh i don't disagree with mick, although i think it's less about drinking own bathwater and more that we seem to go into 'coasting' mode when we're on top, which allows good teams to come back at us, and then when we do get beaten we have a tendency (hawthorn, richmond, pies on qb etc.) to turn up our toes and just look like we aren't interested i also would hazard a guess that the only games mick watched us in last year was queen's birthday walloping and then three finals

i think it's interesting that our players have said that they actually aren't huge on 666, primarily as it's a different way of playing for us, where we've been used to having one or two come off the back of the square i guess it'll take some adjusting, but really it should help us centre clearances are going to be vital

I do not want to play any dirty bird franchise related teams in finals, or virtual finals, for the foreseeable future...
