Im not sure about your opening gambit but much of the rest reads with merit.

The merit of this is totally dependent , for me, on where he's played.

Bugger.... But gee willickers what a truckload of Learnings to be had... Well.... a truckload of something. Tbh... that wasn't all Goodwin's doing, or fault. I think that pie can be equally cut up among him (sg), rest of the FD...and about at least half a dozen players who should be made to walk home. Quite honestly that was just a bucket of [censored] effort. Maybe it was just that odd jumper ?? 🤔🤔🤔 ..yeah nahhh. Twas a bucket of [censored] 💩 Next week ought to be a hoot Just pick'n' play any and all....that want to have a fair dinkum crack. Bench the rest. Got ragdolled from the get go And what were the Learnings !! hmmmm. Some blokes need to go up to the others...who did try.....and say sorry. Then hit the road...seeyas later in the year.

Hallowed even.....

As I can't see that happening any century soon... i'll go with the lawyers ;)

The lesson.... Melb needs better lawyers There is no level field, no common sense,no adherence to proper procedures.. it's all ad hoc make it up as you go [censored]. Carlton do it regularly... now Lions have found a way... That is the lesson. The game is at a precipice...

It was an odd call without doubt.... i mean, a dubious free going our way. That said it still falls way short of compensation. The amount of times Milky was shoved or was blocked.... I'll take the odd ones when they come along.

Do they get ready in a cupboard ??

Ahh but has it snowed ?? 🤔🤣🤣

Can you afford an Avo for each remaining game ? Be well spent ;)

What's the weather forecast for Sunday arvo ?? 🤔

Yep yep and yep I think many are undervaluin the return of Milky... his footy is silky ;) I find it somewhat ironic that it all 'clicked' ...in the rain !! May it belt down for all the rest of our games :)

Only need 3... but they need to do job properly/ proffesionally/ accountable. When was last time anyone saw an Ump over-rule because they were better situated/sighted ??

Very much so. Stats..pffffffftt

Ive been more than critical of Petty of late....quite deservedly imho... But i thought he fought admirably last night. I find the many stats thrown around erroneous and bizarre tbh. Esp rucking. Quite often 'wins' attributed where to my eye none such occurred. Aa such in my opinion Petty did well in the rucking duels. To suggest Draper towelled him would be to be watching another game entirely. How MUCH better are we with Milkshake.... a Maestro of the leather !!! please leave Roo in front arc ...please

As posted otherwise... yes that was a good win Goodwin. He made some clever calls and lucked out with some, and the weather. But kudos, that was most likely the outcome if the gods came to the party. Credit where due. Genius ? .. i wince. Geater credit to those out there on a rubbish night.

That was a good win Goodwin

Gee that place brings back memories.. used to live on Wills St as a kid... that park was like my backyard ( in a fashion ) ,long before the freeway went through and re-jigged that pocket ;). Spent hours....hours..... HOURS with my Lyre-bird and a few mates.....practising goal kicking and marking. Fond memories ;) Anyway...back to the game... still at 6's and 7's as to what 's really going on. Quite intrigued really. Am truly hoping for a masterstroke of selection and intent. Why do i feel like Charlie Brown though ...

And yet hes an emergency which to me negates the notion he can't play at AFL

Imho.... thats exactly what's called for.... a handy follower around the ground. Not winning the centre bounce isn't EOW stuff... currently we still don't win a lot of centre clearances ( demonstrably ).... Playing a more dedicated role player ( aka a ruck ) would then not necisitate other players removing themselves from roles they are better at. Still find the whole thing odd.

It's a curiosity. We're down a ruck but we don't pick one. Some suggest too important a game to risk. I don't concur. It's a game.. they're all important. Some suggest he's underwhelmed and so not picked.... yet he's named as an emergency, and not the first time ; so he's good enough if you 'need to break glass' but not if his exact position is vacant ??? Not picking Fullarton is either,as suggested above...a ruse or it's illogical. He's not picked because he may not win the contests ( neither does Max and often sharked ) but we'll have possibly 3 non-rucks competing and probably losing. Yep, makes zero sense there. Max's value around the ground i think is actually irreplaceable but we'll try with Petty ?? I truly find all of this fascinating. We'll know Sat night. Hope it works.

But not a real first gamer....just with us. Quite a difference for mine Sir.... just sayin'

Problem with that is you can bet Essendin will protect the bounce,/throw in. Its a free hit if they do. Tbh im just as cautious about Heppel coming back and having a blinder. Not liking this game Sam, not liking it I am.

Same bloke who pinch hits now possibly. But you wouldnt have him all game. Perhaps Petty pinch hits for the pinch hitter ? Perhaps more by 'area'.. maybe Roo takes the rucks forward of middle... Tmac aft of centre.. or.. i really don't know tbh ( cue the comments...lol ) Someone has to compete or you might as well just get the umps to hand ball to nearest Bomber tall !!! There's no obvious all day ruck nominated so it has to be a group of fill-ins. Any which way I'm not filled with enthusiam let alone confidence.

Who says hes rucking ?
