Renewed yesterday, chose Nev Jetta for the player on my membership card. The smartest thing the club ever did was start putting the 'Consecutive Years Membership' on the cards, there's no way in hell I'm breaking my streak. (And I suspect, as the sour taste in people's mouths lessens the closer we get to the 2018 season, most die-hards will do the same. Might take a little longer than usual for some, and tbh I couldn't blame anyone for that.)

Fact is, not one game we've lost this year has been lost because of the back six. We still need another four or five guys who can RELIABLY play in the midfield and/or play a role running between the arcs, and who can maintain an AFL standard of both skills and intensity from week to week. Some of those four or five might be on the list already (I have hopes for Brayshaw, Stretch, ANB, Harmes, Kent, Bugg, etc.) but until a bunch of them prove their worth week after week after week, we're still going to have those down games that cost us dearly. And it's not gonna be the fault of the defence.

Ah, cheers for setting me straight.

Aye, but I thought I read somewhere (if it was on here, could easily have been inaccurate!) that any banned player could choose to leave the bombers as a free agent if they didn't want to go back. Seems a bit rough to force players to go back to the club that screwed them over so badly.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the clock runs out on the Hibberd deal, can't we get him for nothing as he's able to leave the bombers as a free agent? If so, that changes who holds the cards, and the bombers should be the ones to blink. (I also don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that sitting out a year of footy has lessened his value.)

Jesus comes from a basketball background, he'll never have the hardness to be a top line AFL player.

I'll get in on this tipping comp: Ravens, Bengals, Colts
