  1. Watching last years Rd 22 game and Cox is a dog. The number of times he knees Gawn is disgusting. I also hope someone takes out Maynard and his faux toughness. Very interesting first half. We killed then in CPs but allowed them to score too easily.
  2. The key to this draft will be Gold Coast that has to find enough points to pay for three Academy players - all predicted to go in the top 20 A few clubs including us are all over it and whatever deals will get done - I have every faith in our team - should help boost our draft hand West Coast may also get involved as they are keen to get Daniel Curtain so may split the No 1 pick.
  3. Kyle Langford, Essendon 23 matches this season, 51 goals, 23 behinds Averages 13.7 disposals, 66.9% disposal efficiency, 5.7 marks, 1.6 inside 50s, 1.3 score assists, 0.8 contested marks, 1.6 tackles and 0.9 goal assists This was a joke surely?
  4. Jackson LOL. First 6 weeks the supporters wanted their money back He had 7 games with 10 hitouts or less. Never took more than 7 marks and had limited disposals in 9 games If that's an AA then I'm a monkeys uncle
  5. They have just re-signed him so there goes that theory
  6. We kicked 6g 10b from set shots including 4 posters and 3 that didn't make the distance We had more scoring shots than them every qtr. Coll kicked the first 3 g after horrendous First qtr turnovers from us. Only 6 for the rest of the game They kicked two in the last min to close it down to 4pts but this was a mauling by us. Gawn was blocked off the ball at every single contest. Not one free. They got two from the same Viney was immense. Thommo played v well
  7. Just watching the replay of the Kings Birthday game. Worth watching. Collingwood had won 23 of their last 25 H&A games They were on fire and we smashed em. Just couldn't kick straight
  8. We aren't trading a $900k a year player for Georgiades. He has more currency than that
  9. These journos are imbeciles. For a start Port has no picks. They have 37 and 42. Last year they traded their 1st, 2nd and 3rd round for JHF.
  10. Rivers or Sparrow
  11. If they are trying maximise viewers the first rule would be don't confuse the viewers with different starting times
  12. The Kruezer Cup Carlton laid 4 tackles to 3/4 time Travis Johnstone had 43 possessions. Ran around by himself all day
  13. I hate Ticketek Had tix then it shut my browser down, couldn't get back in . What a ****foght
  14. Last time we kicked 8g 18b and won by 4pts. We smashed them but couldn't kick. We absolutely set ourselves for that game and trialled a new game style the week before against Carlton. A very high press not letting the Pies get their overlap running game going and locking the ball in our fwd 50. We then put that back in the memory bank. Go back and watch the two games you will see a marked difference in the way we played. I said at the time its exactly what Geelong did in 2022 when they trialled a new game plan against Melbourne and then parked it till finals because they assumed they would have to beat us to win the flag. The boys will be confident they can beat the pies.
  15. Yze was robbed. Had, i think, the highest ever number of possessions at the time and didn't make it...
  16. How are the final votes calculated in this award?
  17. Viney Fritsch Tracc ANB Gus Langdon
  18. What I have come to appreciate is that we have a really good coaching staff that can assess how the other team are playing, make adjustments and communicate those adjustments to our leaders that know what to do. We back our system, are well drilled, have a lot of trust in each other and take away the oppo's strengths. Sydney tried the keepings off game and we managed to shut it down but also punish them the other way. It was a very mature and good performance today. And I am sure I read recently that the pies have been down at 3/4 time in something like 17 of their last 32 matches. SIf that is correct then they aren't that good a team to be in that position are they?
  19. In 2010 we beat Sydney and in 2011 we drew with them In 2001 we beat them in round 5 and round 20
  20. I have said it before but the other teams will be worried about meeting melbourne in finals. We have been to the big dance, we have won a flag, our defence is first class, we have talent to burn, we have multiple weapons and now seem to be able to switch gears or game plans during a match. we are building nicely and will mess with their heads.
  21. Unbelievable the number of times that Sydney players just drop the ball when tackled. Clear instruction
  22. That would be disgraceful. But normal for the AFL
  23. thurs night would be the 12th day and hence he could play i think....
