whatwhat say what

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...

collingwood should be the stand-out team this year they lost the grand final and they're starting the year with moore back from injury, in defence where he looks better suited, elliot the same but up front, beams in the midfield, and callum brown was particularly impressive during the preseason dunn and scharenberg will both come back at some stage for them too i completely agree that the love from the media for them is warranted

he looks so young still - i think it's easy to forget that god i hope his comeback is a massive part of our glorious rise to six premierships in a row

we need to win by 26+ to get a spot in the finals it's extremely unlikely the conference system is a farce

60k is realistic in 2020 if we make finals again 70k might be a shot in 2020 if we win the premiership this year

Tbh I thought he was lucky to get one given his recidivist history

i can't help but wonder...if another club offers jones a three year contract, would he take it?

he'll wear a batman mask like grimes, presumably?

he's also our best crumber given garlett's injury in 2019 / form in 2018 melksham was sometimes the deepest lying forward last season.

if we don't risk two, absolutely should challenge

not surprising late, high, low force, unnecessary - given his recidivist nature, lucky to not be more than a week

to be expected - do they risk two if they challenge?

is that for real?!?? quite the stuff up if so!

No news on his scans?
