whatwhat say what

Viney is doing an outstanding job on Libba.

The thought of being bottom two has me seriously demotivated, Deemotivated! Win today and I can't see it happening tho.

Really curious to see how Dom Barry is used in his debut game. Has been a tagger at vfl for last several weeks. Who will he match up on for Footscray? Liberatore is almost impossible to negate as he's that inside player - I'd like to see Nate Jones go head-to-head with him, though I suspect Picken may be given the job there. Dom Barry a chance to run with Macrae, perhaps, as a player who's around the same age as him?

Every time I see this thread bumped I expect the vote count to be at 50-50. 4 votes apart now...

our third rounder will be fairly close to their second rounder, and our second rounder close to their first. if we luck out and have to use a third round on stretch, then our pick in the late teens / early 20s might get us morabito. massive risk, but he has the ability.

correct link here: http://t.co/bVBgztu1ik 9 tackles to jkh! 93 is a huge amount for a team that was belted like that - is that laid or attempted number?? very encouraging to see jkh, tapscott and blease top the possession count, 10 rebound fifties to tapscott is great to see. jkh second for marks behind georgiou. toumpas, well, at risk of fearing the wrath of his defenders - poor possession count, small number of entries / exits from 50s, good tackle count. what's happened to panozza? he used to be a really good vfl level player.

Looking forward to seeing the stats - wish they were more detailed.

hard not to compare him to the two midfielders selected immediately after him, if you consider stringer a half-forward rather than a pure mid. we were told that we were getting an afl-ready player who'd done well at senior sanfl level for the last couple of years as a 16 and 17 year old. he looks a world off it. one thing he has clearly improved this year is his ability to lay a tackle. however, he is not quick (something that we were told he was) nor is he skilled (something else that we were told he was). i do wonder whether he can be turned into an inside midfielder, as i struggle to see him making it afl level as an outside runner - he doesn't have the pace nor the skills to play the role.

I thought Wigg was impressive again for SA. Moves smoothly, looks to have a bit of strength in his frame, and a lovely left foot kick. And I agree, I think it's going to be a second round pick for SOS. Looks classy.

mccartin is currently injured, yes?

Yes, it's so very disappointing. We desperately need our high draft picks to perform, and they really can't seem to get it happening. We need them, and they have let us, the fans - and unfortunately themselves, too - down. I'm really hopeful that Toumpas can turn it around but both Blease and Strauss look shot, at this stage.

The Casey seniors or the MFC? What a disappointment he has been.

She's in love with Pickett, but I'm just not seeing anything. He doesn't look THAT quick or THAT skilful.

I thought SOS was okay. I really like the look of Wigg for SA. Lovely left foot.

Caleb Daniel may be tiny, but gee he can play.

Brayshaw's ability to go off both feet was encouraging.

big chat about stretch just now. shifter sheahan clearly rates him.

stretch has been pretty solid for a very, very impressive south australian side. currently holding vic country goalless to halftime.

Currently showing live on afl.tv via afl live app if yr interested... Brayshaw not just hit a left foot pass but also drilled a goal on his right. He's combining a lot with Petracca - both look good players.

saints are a shot to beat richmond; i could definitely see the latter finishing the season stone motherless. it would be sweet, but a shame that they'd get pick 1... well, 'cept the lions are the bears, and they're destined to prop up the ladder.

toumpas would need to become skillful and hard-running first.

tigers need to ship deledio out. they can't lose cotchin or martin - their captain and their best player - but i just don't see lids as a must-keep.

Adelaide-bound, if true I would expect.

Compounding chemist interview, claims Dank forged his signature. Very strange claims by Alavi.

7.30 report was good viewing tonight.
