Wishing Bowey a speedy recovery. He’s been good tonight, one of our few having good games. Copped a few hits there!

When he shaved his head apparently!

Pathetic skill level tonight. Petracca might be the only player in our entire team who is not out of form at this stage.

Just gotta get the four pints tonight. This game is absolute trash. Unbelievable this is modern day AFL with the best athletes and players in the land. The talent pool isn’t big enough it seems.

Worst news I’ve read all week. We’d been maintaining contact in hopes of getting him across in future, so that’s really disappointing to hear. Kid looks like the next Trac. Suns have a gun on their hands. What a waste!

Not announced yet but I’ll take a wild guess and say it’s Jordon.

Moving Petty out of defense was a structural mistake. We had other options for tall forwards, but his absence has been felt in defense. Lever has been forced to play as a traditional man on man key defender instead of a roaming third tall intercepting general. Teams have recognized our structural weakness and exploited it. Our premiership was based off their dominance and one of the statistically one of the stingiest defenses in AFL history. That defensive strength has been removed, so we have one less weapon and one more thing for the opposition to exploit. It’s the main reason why we can beat up on weaker teams, but can’t compete with other top 8 competitors. There’s still time to adjust our gameplan and structure this year though. If we don’t change both structure and gameplan though, we will not win this year.

Yes. That’s why they’re all just litigation rubbish arguing over specific words instead. It’s pathetic.

I couldn’t care less about our game this week. Friday night against Carlton should be exciting, but this is the least excited I’ve felt for an upcoming match since 2019 when we were bottom four. Well probably win against an injured depleted Carlton, but who cares. If we win, big whoop. If we lose, we’re rubbish.

Insane that Cerra got off and the 17 others didn’t. Some with less dangerous tackles too. This season in general has been ****house. Not only has the tribunal and umpiring been poor, but the quality of football and general excitement from watching games has been rock bottom. Can’t remember a less interesting season. Great job AFL.

Salem has returned and took the kick ins. Mays numbers have been inflated from taking the kick ins.

The loyal bloke who didn’t want to leave that we kicked out? Bleeds red and blue and it’s a damn shame he’s running round at another club now.

Hope we’re in Humphreys ear still. Throw the kitchen sink at him and offer the Suns whatever they want. The kid is the next Petracca and will be an elite midfielder.

Also well done Jayden Hunt tonight. Currently has 31 disposals at 87% and doing all he can to keep the Eagles from folding. I’ll always have a soft spot for Jayden. He was super unlucky to miss playing in our premiership. He’s definitely better than some of the spuds we’ve had running around recently.

Yep Dogs looking like stealing it here. Side note, I love the look of Bailey Humphrey as a potential future elite midfielder. I can see why our recruiting staff tried to trade up to get him last year. He’s the perfect blend of power, aggression and explosiveness. Very similar to Petracca. Would not be against trading first rounders to get him across.

Reckon there’s a very very long thread on here already called something like ‘is Goodwin the right guy?’

We’re 0 wins 4 losses as Naarm. Stuff it

We’re wasting a premiership quality list again this year. Unfortunately it looks like the end is coming quickly for some of our senior players, Gawn included :( This year is turning into the most disappointing I can remember, and that’s because we should be right amongst it but instead lose on repeat to any decent teams. Our record against top 8 teams speaks for itself. Our gameplan this year doesn’t cut it. What a [censored] waste

Well and top and should be fine th we in front. Defensive pressure and transition into our zone has been very good. Just need to finish our work and get more reward on the scoreboard for our control.

Yep. Don’t let that get in the way of the discussion though 😜 We tried to get him and missed our chance. His contract is too big for us to take on now. We’ll need to look elsewhere or just continue to develop JVR and Jefferson.

Goodwin just confirmed we won't appeal.

Hope we make a statement on the weekend and belt them by 100 points. Wouldn’t mind seeing a new entry into the Viney made me cry thread either, especially featuring the mummy’s boy. Make them hurt Dees!

Late last season when Selwood kicked his hand and broke bones. Not even a free kick paid for kicking in danger! He returned wearing a brace after a week and was limited through the end of the season.

We were keen on him at draft obviously and have stayed in touch. Let’s wait and see what happens over the next few years at the Suns… He’s had a few good games this year. It’s good to see him stepping up as a focal point. He’s been better than our tall forward this year for the most part!
