He might be going.......but he's not gone. We have 3 games yet :)

But is Jeremy going to back...or stay forward ???

No ....they'll have enough to cry,sook, whinge about ;)

Keep in mind it's Ralph... a headline writer.... wind up merchant.... take no serious heed of him ;)

Tbh... id take an 80% 21 ver Tmac.. that will do...any better a bonus. He knows what he's doing out there. ....and he can kick .....that sorta helps a bit lol

Not just run him around...sprint off of him ;)

Personnel might be altered... game styles are the key. Their biggest out is Daicos. The man who orchestrates the angles...as it were. Their game relies on swarming ( running with intent and backup ) . They dont bomb away... they pick their way through. Hawthorn tried that too. We'll have to be on our guard and on our toes. I wonder how the 'learnings' dept is preparing for this game.....

Very good appraisal

Bravo bravo... yes, this.

Haven't you heard... we don’t mention such vulgar truths in polite ( read afl sanctioned) society 😉

It may or may not have been popped....but to me...a highly qualified tv watcher...therefore knows 2/3 of 3/5 of sfa... he was favouring it...the exact way you would if popped....but at the same time it might well have been a doozy of a stinger as some suggest. Anyone know officially what transpired ??

Speaking of Port and Lions.. Going to be very interesting game... I actually joked somewhere i wouldn't mind if they beat each other up... 😉

Definitely left field thinking..... not a shabby idea all .. September can be a good time to deploy unknown ( therefore not played against ) structure. Goody was a very 'different style' thinker in his earlier days . Interesting thoughts Sir Why 😉

Looking at the replay..when he came off it might well have bee popped.. had that look about it.

Im married to a Collingwood supporter...though not an arrogant or delusional one. Her family....all filth. Prior to 21 there wasn't a whole lot of respect....pity was more the term. Since 21... their discussions are quite level and non-conceitful. Dare i say...reluctant respect . None of them see this as necessarily an automatic win. Quite the opposite.. they carry grave concerns. This will be a ringa ding full on final. A very similar game imho to yesterday's... I rate the Filth higher than the Bloods. Happy to walk away with a 1 pt win. Some items on the board might favour us. They just had a witches hat training run.. we had a full on finals rehearsal. We couldn't hit the side of a barn last time...but had their game worked over. Whoever wins next Thursday....will...imo...win the flag.

Don't necessarily disagree.. But begs the question.... who ? Am not aware of any Milky clones waiting in the wings . Imho...who ever is going to play...is playing as a fwd...so better know what they're doing. Even with a likely shuffle of sorts as alluded to by Nash... the ? Is who We're not swimming in Med Forwards ( my opinion ) Of those that come to mind... one is out of form/favour .. the other a tad raw perhaps.. but so was Bowey in 21 One arguably created the catalyst thar swayed events in 21.. the other HAS the speed , agility and skills to perhaps make a fist of the role-required. Bugger of a time to have to recast the Runes.

My thoughts also... weight of numbers and emotive delusion .... Happy to be the 'underdogs'... the hunters..

Agree with the shuffle aspect. I expect the FD were starting to think the f50 might be starting to settle....and whamo. Guess we'll know next Tuesday/Wed.. .. training might offer up some clues. We wait

trying out for the Comedy Festival there Nash.... not sure if serious. I would have thought anexchange of role/abilities more fitting. No ??

Thanks Jim... I didnt see him playing the Melky role....but was interested what Toms footy was about now. I 've noticed he's lost a yard but depending on where you are...maybe not the be al land end all.....maybe. Thanks for the run-down. Relieving the Roo from the grasp on their #1 defender would be a plus. Going to be interesting to see what the FD do. It's paramount not to allow a defence like Collingwoods to get any rhythm going.. Need them worrying about us...not us them.

Tmac is an interesting beast In reality he only has to turn back the clock for 3 games....thats all ( in a fashion ) I think many under-rate Tmas...I used to.. Then I started to actually watch HIM at games( or as I could on the box ). I'd be very interested tohear from the trackwatchers who attend the Magoos. What kind of role has he been playing since he's completed his road back from injuries ?? In many ways he IS exactly that player that Grundy was supposed to morph into. The upside ...he already IS that player....no morphing required. He's big enough and knowledgable enough to take a few taps here and there.. He can link up as a higher forward...he has the strength to mark the ball in packs. Is he still reasonably mobile ?? I'd be interested. He's not Milkshake....no one is Milkshake...but a fit and firing Tommy Mac is a pretty handy player...And he wont be fazed by these being finals.. So...all stats aside.... how is Tommy travelling...and what's been his role ...as far as anyone can discern ?? cheers

Bless their little hearts.... on the plus side for them.... they only need suffer the once ;) My pie brethren in law .. yayyy we sealed the minor premiership !!! Me: enjoy the minor prize.......

A Magpie crowing......obviously has nfi ;)

Im always for forwards worrying more about attack....than defence

Okie dokies ... cheers
