When your ruckman and captain leads the tackle count for the night you know it is all in. Love it. Go Dees

The media are bleeding all over this. Want it to be the big story, and all adding their useless opinions to help get Toby off. He is like a pervert in the nursing home, cant help but touchie touchie, old Toby. Repeat offender. He had no cause to even be that close to Stevic. Bad look for the game.

Our recruiting has been pretty sound the last few years. Really targeted needs, except perhaps for sideshow who fell out of change at the Roos and we were able to make that stick. Cerra Certainly would be a great addition, but we haven’t got the free capital (picks) to make it happen. Can’t see anyone in the current 18 being traded unless they wanted to. Culture is king, so no one is getting marched. If he asked to come to us, then we could find a deal, but I don’t think we should try to manufacture one that rips our guts out

That ‘never tear us apart’ thingo is dull as dishwater

Incidentally, these stats are meaningless. They are correlative not causative. The percentage victories of the team has little to do with the umpire designated to that game. It would be more value to review the number of free kicks, or differential, per team compared to average of all umpires officiating that team. This would begin to expose any *unconscious* bias.

Hopefully the git has been spoken to.

If Jones gets a game it means we have at least 3 injuries in the midfield. On this basis I pray we don’t need him.

“Wowee….it just went BANG… whadda ya think, Dais?” “Well, I think you should have kept up your gas plumbing ticket if you were going to fxxx around with the hot water service, BT. Down to Soders on the boundary” ” coming off it looks like. Straight down the race. Looks like Bruce might have to come on as Medical sub” ”will Hawkins have anything to answer for?” ”nah, all clear. On the replay it looks like BT did it to himself”….

Still got one month… need cases to be dropping, vax rates rising in Vic expect only vaxxed supporters allowed in, entry times, etc. cmon Dees, cmon the big V, counting on you both….

10 minutes into the last quarter and paddy was cramping up. No wonder he was then off the ground for 9 minutes. Doesn’t bode well for their finals campaign when the old guard can’t keep up for the full match. also, Selwood executed a massive, blatant throw in the second leading to the Hawkins goal. Really, umpires? And on this topic, the ‘lack of intent’ calls were appalling all night. Why do the umps love the cars when all they do is whine and scream at the maggots what they should do? (Dangerfield by the point post was an obvious example).

Voted on by subjective panel of ‘experts’. If it was your team and you had to win a gf, who would you select? Who has real form (based on this year)? If it is based on favourites, the usual knobs will get in.

I understand how you feel, Jaded. At least the team has given us something to distract us from ‘real life’ for a while, mostly in a good way. Good luck with what lies ahead for you and your husband.

7 clubs apparently took ruck prospects in their mid-year draft. Hopefully that means that there are 7 clubs ‘off the boards’ looking for developing rucks with their first picks. Gives us a chance to have a look at this kid.

Think this is very smart… Hibb and Melk get a seniors card rest for this game, Smith gets to show his wares in a slightly different role, and we still have Hibb and Melk good to go if we have an injury forward or back. Suspect JJ will be medi-sub.

Loss to gws.

I’m already over $600 deep in a membership that meant i sat in my reserved seat once this year, and wont get to any finals. I have no income in lockdown and wonder more about getting through than what i can give to the footy club.

I also liked that we put a different roster through the middle with Gus in the guts, winning clearances at the end. Lots of resting minutes into the main crew, and a chance for others to demonstrate that they should run through on occasion. I can see rivers going through there in years to come. in the finals we are going to need to win the contest and the middle.

Max dropped 6 marks he should have easily taken. The last of which led to the cry of anguish at the boundary line. He certainly stepped up in other areas, but his marking was way off.

Dogga by the Flemington straight, except if Geelong have someone nominated (bending the rules for players over 30)

May out and Smith in. I wonder how early in the week Smith knew? Good chance to give May a rest, and to see where Smith fits in. I reckon Petty steps into the May role, and smith plays more of a hybrid hunt/petty role. A good chance for all in such glorious conditions.

Hopefully we are now more of a ‘destination’ and dont have to pay massive overs to land players who want to come to a top team. We will have to clean out at least 3 from the primary list, and probably need a clearance bull type an additional wing prospect and a key forward to develop. Lots to spill out of Collingwood again, and maybe the hawks and blues with deck chairs being kicked about. I can also see some trades for points from a few teams with academy and FS selections. Be interesting to see how hard we go at trade or if we just sit quietly and top up through the draft?

“Its a long way from the top when you’re an MFCSS troll…” (sing along at home, kids!)

Play it today to rub Adelaide’s nose in their own filth..and show our support for the cause of equality and respect. Might be a great idea.

At the start of the year, the preferred lineup was Brown and Weids. Both went down injured and TMac had a Bradbury-esque run at the forward position. Without those injuries, I wonder how this season would have unfolded? TMac got in and demanded his spot every week. The other two not so much. Brown now working into some form, and Weids has to be patient. He has had his chance, and couldn’t deliver. Will he stay? Who knows - M Brown and Daw no real rivals, but useful back up. IF he goes would need to look at a young replacement.

Thanks, Rusty. Kozzie seemed to be running to the wrong places and trying too hard. Would like to see more i50 tackles from him - i think this underscores his game when he does this, the rest happens. Interesting list comparison: Perhaps it showed up in that we have the legs and they ran out of puff and needed the lightning break. Bottom 6 are a worry.Expect AVB to be at risk, and maybe sparrow. Others have the runs on the board and Melksham may have done enough with his cameos and goals.
