Conversely the trick to beating us is the same.. apply buckets of pressure and throw everything and the sink at us. Tbh.. it works... ( more often than not...these days )

Face it ...you're bogan !!

Sorry... whilst you're at another club... you're NOT Melb ;)

Can only think Tommy's foot is better than Benny's back 🤷🤷🤷

Shame.....

Funny... id pick Tassie ;) Does anyone have a decent idea as to the possible timeline for any of this? Cheers

He came to us under a cloud and with much supporter reluctance. We all make mistakes... ( as opposed to those that conspired ... ) He certainly embraced the new opportunity. He has earnt his Trident. I wish him well. Hope he still has a very good season. A stalwart down back. Well done

Actually.....it does.....

I think you need to step back and remove erroneous overlays. Stats are just just stats.... without context theyre useless. What he may have done previously is not where he is NOW. Reads a bit like a Financial Caveat/Disclaimer for that very reason. Its where Ben is at NOW.. not 4 weeks ago Right now his form is not flash. Do you want to suggest otherwise ? He's having difficulty impacting, he seems to have possibly a niggle with his kicking.. that would make sense if he's suffering back problems. It's probably best he regain all his footy prowess . He can then be effective and contribute.

Bit more to the game than running.

Its such a simple metric of consideration really isn't it.

Form.... carrying something.. 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Maybe we dont go to the mecca of Betting...just sayin'

I'm thinking #19 will debut at CHF Will kick 3.3 Just putting it out there ;)

And.. Schache is an AFL player... ..played in Grand Finals and everything....true dinks. I don't understand the scorn and derision of this guy tbh. Of the 3 Tmac, BBB, and Shack. ... who is better shape...better form ? By all accounts recently kicked a bag of 4 on a day abd a ground not suited to talls. Yeah ...a real hack that Shack. I really couldn't care who any of them are. Im not trying to have a kick to kick with mates...... I'm just supposing who might be the most useful player to have out there doing a role. And someone not carrying a niggle( at best ) ... someone who can pinch hit in the Ruck... go forward...or if need go back. Hes not fn brilliant....but hes non too shabby either. He's done the graft and hard yards... hes been seen worthy as a sub.. Well... sub him in ffs.

Firstly... i think youre doing Shack an injustice by being so dismissive. He's no A grade... a pretty solid B ( or thereabouts )... and speaking of problems we have a serious one up front. All well and good when one of Tmac or Benny are up and about.... but they aren't and then Fritter and Roo cop heavier attention. If the club doesn't think hes anything...why have him. He's an experienced Forward. His defence experience affords him decent savvy . He's not ideal perhaps. Whats your answer Jade ??

The Umpiring has to be made professional. Needs to be a totally dedicated and accountable job paying some reasonable coin. It's amateur hour...because its amateur. Beggars belief it still is.

Well.. the Brains Trust has hardly faulted. He must be bloody good....and will want to be. History suggests the strike rate on these "gems" is low. We need to get this draft and next right... not getting much of a look in for years after. I'll park my thoughts/concerns and get back to reality.

Not necessarily true at all. The roof is the roof... Depending on orientation of tiers the ground need not have a larger footprint. Depending upon the elev used for the playing field the stadium doesn't need to soar skywards. 23k seems a waste of time and money. No future proofing there.

I think this is the question . I know there's this procedure/protocol of longish stints in the magoos , then teasing extended bench selections. Sometimes surely pragmatic common sense must be employed. This is , imho, the exact occasion you'd bring Shack in. Neither BBB nor Tmac are good enough form/fitness to do justice to being on the field. If we're managing them ( or whatever ) then there's still a need out on the ground for a capable competent role player. Shack may not be the Bees Knees but he surely qualifies 10 steps ahead of the other two choices atm. A fwd line with Shack, Fritter and Roo will sorely test Norf. Shack , in the same manner Tommy did does not need to kick a bag to be useful. This is the ideal game to see what he can bring. Reckon he might grab the opportunity with both hands . Or.... we scratch our heads wondering why he's here.

A strawmans argument Jack Only Collingwood was ever going to get Daicos

25k seating Who are these idiots 40k min... 50k better There'll be other uses for that stadium.... to try and pull back some $$$ Must be the same mob that designed Docklands ( and got it wrong )

Certainly validity here.... that said the Giants have never been adversarial towards us. We may even be able to help each other ;)

If the Dees did that they'd have shown they've/we've learnt nthing. And that's simply not the case. I actually think we're among the more savvy and wiley in this league. Segway ...for a moment. The introduction of the 19th club... The Devils ( not sure how i feel about that....the name ...lol ) With they're being ushered in comes 3 or 4 years of seriously compromised drafts. This years draft and maybe next are our chance to snap up and bank some talent before the well goes dry. You're not going to load up and throw all at 36Red ... no no no I sense we will fanangle a creep up the positions..but highly doubt an 'all in' That for mine would be daft

Seems to me many an opposition seem to. This game is as much between the ears as it is ability. I'm not convinced we're quite there mentally. We should be a 10-15 goal better team than this lot. Have no doubt Clarko will spring a trap. We need to snuff out their exuberance very early or it's another dog's breakfast.
