Tomlinson playing really well. I know Petty will be around for a lot longer and be a better player, but right now Tomlinson is clearly better and should remain in the team. Petty needs to earn his spot back when he recovers from injury.

🤮

Not even the best Daicos on the ground tonight, let alone the best player. Great player but not his best game tonight.

Sickening seeing the Pies come back like this. It’s become a self fulfilling prophecy that they can overrun teams in the final quarter. They’re a bog average team for 3 quarters every week.

Let’s just hope for pick 4 now

Makes me sick we lost to the Bombers this year. How the hell did that happen?!

Good changes this week. Petty has been injured and in so-so form all year. Might be fitness and constant changing of role. Tomlinson is fit and in better form as a defender. He’s been dominant at Casey too, so good to reward form instead of reputation. Spargo hasn’t been in great form. Chandler started the year really well but struggled more recently. Hopefully he makes the most of the opportunity this week and hits the scoreboard again.

Sounds pathetic and it's a shame they wasted time and oxygen even thinking about this.

100%. Ben McKay has played 65 games across 7 seasons and is 26 years old soon. Frawley at the same point in his career had played 139 games and was All Australian, and won a premiership with the Hawks at 26. So more than twice as many games and achieved both individual and team success. McKay is injured more often than not, and when he does get on the park he’s not exactly lighting it up. He’s essentially a less durable and less successful taller version of Tomlinson at this point. If he didn’t share genes with Harry, he probably wouldn’t be on a AFL list anymore. It’s blatant corruption if AFL grants first round compo for him.

Not that super IMO. Top end is always good, but from what I’ve read this draft is not deep. Add in the amount of academy and compromised picks and it’s becoming a dud. Last years supposed weak draft is looking like it might be the best for a long time, with heaps of kids already performing well at afl level.

On limited viewing, Sanders looks the goods and would fit into our midfield nicely over the coming years. He seems like a perfect mix of inside and outside with game changing abilities and decent size. If we finish with pick 4, he'd be the perfect target there.

He’s a [censored]. A slug. A worm. A stale fart in an elevator. Sits there with that permanently smug look on his face amongst the ex players like he’s part of the boys club and understands the ins and outs of playing footy. The filter on this site won’t let me go further 😛 He’s always very negative about Melbourne. A few weeks back he was downplaying our 2021 premiership saying we only played a few good minutes of footy and got lucky to win it etc. So disrespectful and completely false. We finished top of the ladder and statistically had the most dominant finals series in over 20 years… but yeah we only played a few good minutes. He’s such a lying piece of tish and a key part of the footy media being trash. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him hiding in Clayton Oliver’s rubbish bin out front of his house in hopes of getting a scoop the waste of skin.

According to Cal Twomey, clubs love McKercher and he has firmed for the second live pick behind Reid, so will likely go before our pick unless we trade up.

I apologize to all the people I abused online and otherwise*. I really really didn’t think we’d get up like that. Unbelievable effort. *Except Zorko the worthless slug

This for me too. Trac got another 3 Brownlow votes tonight. Gawn and Melksham both great. Rivers continued his breakout season. That burst through multiple opponents in the last quarter was so exciting.

Petty out Tomlinson in Petty is clearly not right and has been subbed off injured two weeks running. Tomlinson had a career best game before being dropped and has been slaughtering it in the VFL.

Holy *************** Go Dees! Unbelievable.

[censored] sick of this team. We’re not a contender this year. What list changes do we make over summer to get back into contention?

Without Petracca it feels like we’d a bottom 8 team.

Outside the first 8-10 minute burst, Lions have dominated. Our small forwards have been seriously poor the past two months. Kozzie looks disinterested and not going at the ball. Spargo jogging round aimlessly. Neither crumbing. Neither defending. We’re getting nothing out of them at present and getting killed on rebound too.

I’d pay big bucks to watch someone cave his skull in. [censored] of a human.

Los by 16 points. Hope I'm wrong and the BBrown and JVR combo works out. Fingers crossed Gawn can handle solo rucking without injury and significantly lifts his form.
