Just spotted daisy Pearce in the cats huddle sporting the dark blue cats tracksuit. What a star she is.

Standby for weeks of speculation now on Darcy's hammy. Clarry says hello. But we won't hear the negative tripe from Damo like he did with us. Can't upset Eddie

Correct. As an example, if we kick 100 points tomorrow , we need to keep the Blues to 75 points, or less to mainatin or increase %. Beating the Blues by a goal or two drops our %. Not by a lot but thats the effect.

Sure will and thanks

This item on the AFL website today analyses the stats on the midfield roles without Clarrie. Fascinating especially the Brayshaw changes. But no mention of the Viney engine room which was dissappointing. , but focusses more on the midfield members and their step up. https://www.afl.com.au/news/1003964/oliver-twist-shock-stats-show-how-dees-lifted-without-clarry

My point was Danger is barely ,if at all , qualified to join the Board of a Billion dollar outfit like the AFL. Your point though is way more pertinent and not so far of the mark IMO re; Goyder.

Many thanks, your post has improved my confidence , but I never understand betting odds. I understand statistics and probability. So where does the 28.6% come from? That sounds less than ideal?

You've addressed my other concerns. Danger strikes me as a party line type of guy. Just what a Board doesn't need.

Nailed it. This is a Board appointment. Not operations where he could contribute. It's a Gil thought bubble and disrespectful to Tom Harley and many others. The Commission has an apalling record in filling vacancies in a timely manner.

No news and it's nearly midday Tuesday. I am an optimist and wonder if it was clearly season ending that news would be out yesterday.

No he didn't. In fact petty didn't look like a player who's missing finals. Optimistic.

Because......?

Many thanks.

Yep. Starting at 1.59. Will be cancelling subscription today if not rectified shortly.

Should make up the 1% on Lions today if Freo's defence performs reasonably well and prevents a lions blow away score.

You'll see the Dees move to second spot live tomorrow. On % from Lions. Enjoy. Then its ours to lose.

The fine will assist future litigants, as you say Sue, this will happen and the case will be put as an example when mounting an argument against the AFL as to how serious they took the issue. After everything that has happened, the evidence over a number of years concerning past players, the AFLslaps the Power with a wet lettuce. Plaintiff's Legal rep in 2040 :"...They didn't seem too outraged at this issue back in 2023 after all the preceding medical evidence. Why even the Port coach said the boy seemed right to go back on. Did Kenny go to med school..." Presiding Judge: "...I find in favour of the Plaintiff..."

Exactly. The "...medico's a good bloke..." defence. Howwould Cornes have any objective knowledge was what makes a good doctor -except the above statement. A good fireman possibly. The hypocrisy is huge when compared to the outrage on Oliver and medical management. But then this IS AFL.

Spot on, and our big threat to 2nd spot is Port and it will/may come down to %. We are 15% ahead and unlikely to see Port bridge that gap but shouldn't be risked they do. Lets use last 4 weeks to lock away the forward solution for sure. We can do subtle rests this week with Sparrow for Viney for example. But only if Jack needs it.

Another poster mentioned resting Mcvee. Imo he's a lock for defence in finals but needs careful management till then. It's been a big year for him. Hopefully FD are looking out for him in this regard.

Absolutely M38. As someone on here said it'll be 12 degees down there. I trust the coahes AND Clarry to have his touch back for the Blues. And he doesn't need to play lost of minutes. We will have Tom Sparrow back into midfield then as well.

Goodwin said in the presser that least year Max rucked solo mostly all year . Inferring his late season fatigue. This year he's done it for only 3 weeks. I think Max will star at finals time - he's just getting going. I reckon Goody is set on this issue. Jack Viney on the other head should be given a week off at home. He has carried the team with many others but inside the clinches big time with Clarry out. His spirit and fear he puts into the Oppo is mandatory for a flag. He won't like a rest but he would say that anyway. Please look after him Goody.

Yes the outrage is more about where the free was paid - in the goal square- when really that should be irrelevant. If its there , its there. Nate Jones I'm looking at you. Salem was hit high in front of us earlier but didn't receive a free as he shrugged his shoulder into it - play on. Fair call. Objective tiges fans with us were conerned that the fighting spirit still with the team might mean Mini gets the gig under emotion . They want a change and don't see him as senior material.

Albanian heritage. Not sure if born there or here. Probably here.

At the lions game at the gabba last year. Straw poll of lions fans there had Hipwood at No.1 to get rid of. Very little love for him up there. Cornes was on the money querying his 7 year or so deal.
