whatwhat say what

god I hate watching us on a screen

i thought it was $200m over three years?

worth every cent for good ol rAdelayed

wa too far away

qld and nsw won't care

vic no need

the sa capital is the perfect locale for gil's round

i love the redlegs

garry mcintosh is the greatest player i've ever seen not in the vfl / afl

but...no

they might WANT to come in but i can't see it happening

They’ll get something at the end of this year 

Could be end of first, or two extra second rounders 

But they will get something 

hmm, still not updated in pocketcasts

to the youtube i go!

So Hore is out and we assume Chandler is a likely out, a preventative rest for BBB makes sense and that there's a few banged up boys it's really a question of how many fresh ins do we need?

I think there's a pretty good case for May and probably 2 fresh runners in Laurie and Woey in to the 22 with a rest back to sub for Billings.

Out: Hore, Chandler, ?BBB
In: May, Laurie, ???

FB: McVee May McDonald
HB: Salem Lever Rivers
C; Langdon Petracca Windsor
HF: Pickett Petty ANB
FF: ???? JVR Fritsch
Foll: Gawn Oliver Viney
Int: Howes Woey Sparrow Laurie
S: Billings

Is it Kolt time?

i can't see sideshow bob being rested

he's in great form; don't flirt with it

Also, just quietly reading Adelaide board, this match could be the end of Gather Round, if we do the expected and don't mess the bed.

where's the 'what they're saying on west lakes boulevard' thread?

may in for hore with woey 2.0 to stay as the sub, you'd think

Anyone else worried with how LVR has started?

Hasn't been able to clunk any marks this season and has only the 5 snags from 4 games 

Averaging 8 disposals and 3 marks per game 

presuming you mean jvr?

he literally kicked 3 goals vs footscray two games ago

Hopefully Kolt plays but I reckon they will bring in Laurie for Chandler, May for Hore and Woey for Billings with Kolt possibly the sub.

i can't see kolt debuting as a sub - goodwin, thankfully, seems to be one of the coaches opposed to that approach

They still owe us for Scott Thompson. 

now this one i agree with

from memory it effectively became a swap of thommo for moloney?

the latter was good; the former was very good

You can't look at what lever has done for us since the trade. You have to look at it at the time the trade was made. 

They absolutely made us pay up which is all I'm saying we should do should petty want to leave

No Melbourne nice guy like grundy

two first round picks is what a 21 year old tall defender who has made an all oztrayan squad should be worth and that we got some 'change' out of it - and with jt picking the eyes out of the draft in selecting petty - was a bonus

similarly, by this logic, we made flagmantle 'pay up' for dog jackson; never had a team given as much for a player as they did to get him in

getting rid of grundy - who didn't want to be there and was contracted to us for ~650k for the next handful of years - for a pick 46 last year and sydney's future second-round pick (which is actually more than it cost us to get him in i think? pick 27 or so?) was good business

it's subjective, but I thought May had more to do with us being good than Richmond gets with Lynch, on Premierships though... can't really argue, I would say if we swapped lynch for May I don't think we win '21.

they also got him 'for free' whereas we had to trade to acquire may

Who would be the top 3 destinations for Reid in Melbourne?

I seriously hope it isn't one of Collingwood or Geelong.

every team

they're all going to offer him a small fortune

kid is good

Genuine question, while I wouldn't mind cheaper, you'd have to say he was and is worth every cent. We bought a IWC not a Timex.

2nd question, did we do better with May than Richmond has done with Lynch?

tigs in front with lynch vs us with may - 2 premierships to 1

Ginnivan isn't getting free kicks because only his mum likes him. 

it's absurd

maggots gonna maggot, i guess

Adelaide screwed us to the wall for Lever

IF he goes it would be nice to return the favour.

they really didn't

Just now, deejammin' said:

One of our players does, his name is Kozzie  Pickett, similarly to Ginnivan he got a rep for lifting the shoulder and ducking and since then I don’t remember the last time he got a too high free. There were at least two times this weekend he got clobbered high much worse than Ginnivan just did for no free. 

yeah, and the dog wasn't happy with my reaction to the non-free for koz either

if our players didn't get free kicks when they're clearly clobbered high like ginnivan is i would be ropeable

i know there's this perception that he 'ducks' into the tackle...but he's knee high to a grasshopper and constantly gets taken high through no real fault of his own

tigs dropping lilke flies - balta out for 4-6 with an mcl and lynch needs surgery on a hamstring tendon injury

frost's ability to run himself out of position is quite something

he's a very good reader of the play but once he gets the ball in hand he's so unpredictable

worth remembering that the crom will be looking to trade out of the pointy end of the 2024 draft as their father-son selection - tyler, son of scott, welsh - is likely considered a top selection

A strangely beautiful and poetic image.

i've always found it strange that they adopted that inxs song - i know it was about the split forced on them between afl and sanfl versions of 'port adelaide', but it's played out now with the teams being together for a long time now

once the port maggies leave the sanfl for the vfl / national reserves competition in the coming years, it really won't be applicable at all anymore

lynch a hamstring
