Ooohhhhh another debut. Tasty.

A fair 3-way trade me feels. Tomlinson is commensurate value to the likes of English and Allan 😝

No way Ben McKay is worth a first round draft pick (let alone pick 3). Frawley was a much better player than Ben could ever dream of being.

For us to improve, our lesser lights (second tier mids) need to take the next step. Rivers has (though he’s more of a backman), the likes of Jordon and Sparrow haven’t. It’s a cut-throat business, and retaining the likes of Jordon will not improve us as a team. Even if he stayed, he’s not guaranteed of more game-time as he is in the unenviable spot of being amongst our 16th-22nd selected player. He would be better off finding another team to play for, even if we don’t get anything for him.

Surely with Clarry out for so long, Trac is a monty for 'Bluey'.

8 teams playing finals in an 18 (soon 19) team competition makes qualifying for finals a more worthwhile achievement, it also rewards the better teams. The prestige of the finals needs to be maintained. Imagine rewarding the 10th best team with a spot in the finals. Talk about rewarding mediocrity.

Is not good enough for AFL and doesn’t have the drive/hunger to push himself to make the grade. That’s ok, AFL is not for everyone.

That’s a problem 5 years away. Doesn’t bother me in the slightest atm.

Cats, then we’d be 2 games clear of 5th.

Leaders were immense in the last quarter.

Yep, big Max showed last night just how important a ruck can be in big games.

100%. I get that we are a defensively minded team, but you’ve got to kick a winning score first and foremost. We’ve actually looked pretty good when we have been taking the game on with an attacking mindset. The best way to put pressure on the opposition is with quick ball movement into the forward line.

Yes it was a good old fashioned roost if ever I saw one.

Gawn Trac Viney Melksham Gus McVee

With his follow up and ground ball game, I’d put him in for Spargo as a crumbing forward 🤪

Max was a mountain all night. I only fear for his longevity in the game as his body has been taking an absolute beating (illegally so) for the majority of his career.

Jack doesn’t need the captaincy to be a leader. He’s the fabric and heart n soul of our club.

We’re into our 6th ‘Grand old Flag’ on the train home. It’s packed. Song stops, it’s quiet(ish) after 10 seconds of cheering, then all of a sudden………....Iiiiiiiiittttttttt’ssssss a…………. Make that our 10th verse and for some reason no one is hopping off the train 🤪

I’m hugging everyone within 30 metres of me

From the clouds, I’m in tears

Shake. Shaaaaaaaaake

Ooohhhh who who who, game on baby

We couldn’t could we?

Watch Grundy come in after finding form from the bye.
