The weed has not done anything spectacular. Last week he was also quiet except for 2 goals in the last quarter. You can put any big man down there tonight and they would have an impact. Majak especially. The weed has been a constant disappointment when promoted. I would keep him at Casey for a little longer and get some serious mileage in his legs so he is primed, confident and ready to go. In a few weeks Tom McD might be ready for a rest. 

Really? Watching the same game? He is leading up the ground and working damn hard

We always talk about TMac but despite the amazing luxury of Jackson developing so nicely maybe he is the one who could possibly be helped by a rest and have Weid play second Ruck which o believe he does extremely well

No Baker either

Sparrow and Weed the true stars, Maj also looking scary. Gawn can have a weeks break whenever he wants without too much fear

Lost all rhythm, pretty ugly right now

I think the Spargoat tackle on Houli was what changed the momentum in the first q and is my favourite moment of the game because of that. 

Expecting to be howled down but what about an enquire to Kade Simpson? I seem to remember him saying he would consider a return, was still playing great footy as he retired. If we genuinely think we are a serious premiership contender, he would be strong coverage for the two players that if injured we would miss the most in Salem and Langdon. We have arguably better players but we have some form of coverage for our star midfielders and I even think Majak is good enough coverage for Gawn if he was missing for a couple of weeks. But Salem and Langdon don’t have obvious coverage with all due respect to Nev and Lockhart. The third hardest to replace would be Lever, Simpson could also alleviate some of that pain by still using Petty to replace but allow Kade to fly third man in or intercept in that same style. Let alone having that much experience around the club if for absolutely nothing more but to give some wisdom to likes of Rosman, Bowey and Lockhart. 
 

He would have to be at least tempted at one last dip at a flag but wouldn’t want to go on any further. Just seems like something a Hawthorn or Geelong would do 

Jed Anderson still not committing, personally he is exactly what I’d like to see coming our way. Age, skill set, pace all bang on. Shouldn’t cost the earth either?

Nah no need.  Mahoney already thinks we have the greatest list in AFL history.

Dude, seriously?

plays his best footy as an inside mid, not what were after at all, vanders doesnt need more mates in rehab

Disagree, excellent foot skills and could release Salem into a more damaging role from half back. I know Riv is slated for that spot but again as opposed to pick 57 or whatever we could rightly expect for Hannan I just see more upside

Love to see a play for Lin Jong rather than a pick. Similarly to Hannam had injury issues but has a precocious ability and is a low risk investment

Mr Riems, do you have a good Champagne list?

I have one coming in soon, only took over 10 days ago. Currently Mumm and some local bubbles, moving to Lanson and some ripping west Australian offerings in the very near future. 
 

I’ll supply the towels if we are thinking some celebratory bottle shakings. Don’t aim for the tvs ok?? 

Never really found many places that I liked that showed the games with volume up here in the fun free city, but I’ve just taken over as licensee of the Botany View in Newtown so if any Sydney based dee’s fans ever want to watch our beloveds I’ll always have at least one section of the pub with the game on and volume. Let yourself known to me and I’ll quite possibly help you out with some tasty snacks as well to wash the bevvies down ??

Finally had enough spare to get the life membership you well deserved Andy

The mind plays tricks during pre-season with a fear that every photo might show a player a moment away from a season-ending complaint. So, can someone please set my mind at rest and confirm that the five black stripes just above ANBs knee are a shadow of his thumb and fingers and not some form of fancy taping to control some sort of career-threatening injury? Anyone? 

Could be Freddy Kruger

After recently rewatching the Rnd 2 Lions game, having that jeff garlett in the team again would be nice

Haven’t even received the text message yet. ?

I just find it sad that so many are still so bitter. We are such a decent well rounded side now that a guy of Jeffy’s natural ability couldn’t break in. That’s the headline here kids, the rest is semantics. 

That is one beautiful headline to me

I just paid up today, went for the Reserved Seat open air to get the GFG and hopefully inspire myself to come down from Sydney for at least 5 games this year. However unless the mods have a problem, I’d be happy to offer my M15 seat to any other interstate members who want the better seat if they want to PM me (obviously if I’m not using it myself). Super pumped for this year

Smith coming in is fine, my concern is Tyson.

Fritsch is a far better wingman than Tyson.

We know, we know...

Getting ahead of myself I know but I have to make preparations now because I'm going to be on a tight timeline should we get through.

Any fellow Sydneysiders massing together to celebrate and watch it? A few fellow afl nuts (but not Melb fans) and I were thinking the Courthouse in Newtown but not sure if there is something already planned? 

The footage of the look on Jonesy face is what did it for me. Strange to be crying in the toilet at work.....

‘Totally got away with that sneaky fart..... oh crap’

For the record his nickname is ‘Chugger‘

I have this strange feeling that Fritsch is going to slot into best 22 almost instantly after his debut
