John Crow Batty

AKA Dr Ageless, linked to many unsavoury types.

Some of his efforts that season were super human.

I gave mine away to a neighbour when I moved to Perth. Also there were eyebrows raised and rumours about him and his Brownlow year.

A replacement for Lynden Dunn?

They could go for Hogan. Will come cheap. That will ensure their dramas will continue for a few more years.

Like MFC, its a matter of which Mihochek turns up on the day. Very unpredictable player. He was an inspiring match winner on Saturday but stunk up big time in last seasons preliminary final with just 2 touches in the pies narrow loss to GWS.

Cox psyched himself up by convincing himself he’s playing against MFC.

I imagine he is coming to eat Goodwin’s lunch and more.

Brisbane may have had a dream run this season but they were top two last season and bombed out. They missed their opportunities. This season they are still making linear improvement. Something we failed to do after 2018. No reason to believe they don’t belong where they are. It’s all a matter of taking opportunities as they arise and they have taken the first positive step last night. Something MFC is still clueless about.

We had him and could have got him back several times before he went to Brisbane.

Got to learn to throw with intensity.

Good to see the legendary whipping boy rehabilitated.

And this is not a normal year.

If high scoring becomes fashionable again he will be a super weapon.

It only took rookie coach Rhyce Neeld...um Shaw one season to ruin his career.

Worth debating. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/ben-brown-told-to-look-for-a-new-home-20200923-p55yj7.html

You hit the nail on the head. Look at Viney Brayshaw and Harmes. All momentum killers. Some say let him stay on till 300 games for the sake of the culture. But it is a fact that the culture has been the worst in the comp for a long time and his leadership hasn’t helped. Vastly over rated player.

Now I know why Hunt is such an accurate and composed goal kicker. He practises hard to get on target. And CP5 has also improved markedly in finding the goals.

The only accomplished goal kicker in the side for both set shot and open play. Like to see him get more of the ball. I don’t believe the club managed him well after that horrible hit a few years ago against Adelaide that sent him in limbo. Looks like he’s starting to settle back again.

I hope the bummers give their transitional coach the same farewell game as we did to Paul Roos.

Today is like watching half a game for me with the other half played tomorrow. Even if we win well it’s like half time scores level with 4 injuries on the bench. The dogs don’t seem like a club that would let a finals opportunity slip by. Freo though currently in good form have been fickle for many years. It will be a nerve racking wait.

Sack León Cameron.
