Dad and Mum look so proud, and why wouldn't you be, three healthy big kids, riches beyond measure 

On the mark will be calling... but seriously was moved to tears like many. I liked that his second touch in the game was a costly booboo but he didn't stop trying.

Harmes named on HBF for Casey ... ?

Fritsch and Stretch also named

He is named in both, I really hope he plays, up there for best clubman along with Gawn at the moment for mine. To me he has the right attitude to get into Greene.

He'll probably kick 6+ now that i bring it up, but i think Frosty is a good option to put on Cameron. He's just as athletic and quick and he has the rangy arms to match.

I'm more concerned with what the likes of Green will do to our defence.

I would like Harmes to run with Greene

Am dying, reading this on way to airport, want this win so bad, losing my mind with all of you

Yes I was thinking this when everyone was saying long term injury. Plate it asap, back in a couple of weeks.

Been there, so effin painful, don't know how they can do that and run a straight line with all the pain killers...

So which of you good things paid the umpire... Hunt was gone for all money for HTB, the GC  fan club (Bruce by himself) was outraged.

Stupid thread. Shouldn’t have even got a fine. You wouldn’t find a fairer player in 20 years of AFL. 

This ^, fairest player, whether you like him or not he gets credit for no dog acts, never done a Hodge, Mitchell, Greene type thing and copped plenty. Credit where it's due.

Don't get ANB being dropped after a good game, and his work off the ball is huge, that running power is a weapon even if the skills are occasionally unreliable. 

Damn it, not listed, even as an emergency, was hopeful. His must be a development role, setting standards.

Do yourselves a favour and watch Clarkson’s post match press conference. Completely pragmatic compared to Goodwins rolling of a turd through some glitter.  

Probably the best I’ve listened to. 

Yeah I thought it was straightforward and honest, didn't feel offended like some. Didn't think Goodwin's was as bad as you suggest though, he has to manage the expectations.

Harmes

Gawn

Oliver

Salem

Jones

Hibberd

HM Lockhart/Hunt/Frost/Hore

Joe boy biased b s. Give credit where it's due ANB was involved with good touch in at least 3 scores

Tom  Morris reporting on On The Couch there are issues resurfacing which were discussed last year with Brendan McCartney.

Disconnect between some of the players and coaches with him including Goodwin. 

He mentioned he is a backline coach in conjunction with Chaplin,  that's the first I've heard of that.

 

 

 

Not shooting at you HB, but Tom Morris is a $h!+ stirrer of the 1st order. I think he models his media game on Purple...

Overall I was most happy with how they responded, I got the impression this is a different team to some of the bathwater drinkers of the past. I think it is worth the investment in Oscar, as frustrating as it is. There was a time Tmac was all aerobic ability and little else and tear your hair out in frustration. He is a giraffe, but he will morph into a gorilla I am sure of it. Am not against him having a spell in the 2s but I am not in the never going to be good.

Spargo looked fresh, Stretch I was pleased to see in the side.

But as others have commented on, roving to Gawn has to be the story, we should have kicked a cricket score with our center dominance. Preuss is worth everything for the relief he gives Max, it makes Max twice as dangerous. 

I think when the history of the season is written Goodwin will put his hand up too getting the coaching a little wrong at the start of this season.

One last thing, Weed is an absolute smiling assassin, he really puts the hurt on in a tackle, forgot the name of the Swans player he buried? But even without a huge number of goals he makes his presence felt, is going from Giraffe to Gorilla very quickly.

Goodwin said in the press conference he'd be playing again and that they would stick with the set up. Goodwin did um and err and talk about team balance, he said Preuss is playing from now on.

It's not funny. You got banned because you posted that you hoped his injury was permanent. Which makes you a pretty classy guy. 

You're lucky the ban wasn't permanent. 

My complaint is the ban was not, only pea heart is DfS.

There will be those that will recognise what they see and those without the exposure to be able to do so.

Funny this reminded me of the Police Academy, 25 years ago now, our squad getting a lecture on drugs, and someone needed a clue on how many grams in an ounce, some muppet couldn't help themselves and sang out 28 like he was on sale of the century, couple of us sitting on our hands just rolled our eyes...

I think Jesse deserves a break, unless he's being a thug, bloke has been through a-lot, he has never put himself out there as some sort of 'moral mary' do-gooder, there is no hypocrisy at play here. He trains, he plays, does a few drugs, so what, as long as they are not PE, so is the rest of society, including those performing at a high level.. He might have mucked up but at this stage, so what he is still a gun footballer and hardly in the same league as some other ratbags running around. 

I also think Goody was honest when he said he wanted Jesse to play for the Demons, from everything I understand. The player asked for the trade, we made it happen, square dealing all round. Yes the selfish part of me is happy that this is not happening at our club.

I think the bigger (moral) issue is fake mates who post videos unsolicited.

He's different to, say, Judd. He's more like a combination of Voss and Black.

My thoughts to, Voss hardness Black skill. Is Judd like for how far ahead of the pack he is. Has more mongrel than Judd started off with, and just a tad slower.

On a slightly different tack, I wonder if there are any players with genuine mental health problems which have been directly caused from drug use. There is plenty of scientific evidence that marijuana can cause depression and other mental health problems in some people.  

You mean like half of the 2006 WC premiership list?

Used to be a contested marking beast in his first year or so. Remember the day he towelled up Rance? What happened to that aspect of his game? Was he found out or did he lose his mojo?

For some reason I haven't understood, he lost his timing, seemed to go to early, confused the hell out of me watching. He certainly did the work leading.

Lol. Is this the first time you and PD have ever agreed on something? You guys should stick to car talk.

Heh, I was amazed to find common interests beyond the Dees too.

So they were longer as well?

in the beginning Daimler was part of Mercedes

daimler Benz

I once thought that too, the name is a coincidence, they companies were not connected.

Correction a British engineer bought the rights to the name and motor design but afterwards was always a english company.

Were the Daimler’s exactly the same apart from badges and options?

Yes it had the Jag 5.3lt 300hp engine, was released as the double six, Daimler was a UK company bought by Jag in 1960. Basically  aXJ stretch saloon.

Super happy about the sponsor. My dad had the W12 saloon with fabric roof (Daimler), I still remember going to Snowy Mountains for a summer holiday with a little 3 cyl Suzuki 4WD, a Honda moto bike on the trailer, and my 2 brothers plus camping gear blasting along at 140km/h listening to Neil Diamond and Willie Nelson on the cassette player, was epic. My uncle had the E type until the rear axle broke off. I have had a life long love of Jags ever since. Dad had the car until I was 18/19 and I got to drive it, including at speed, you really could see the fuel gauge move.
