A day too Early ??? After AA Defender Steven May gets hold of him tomorrow. Good one Deeman.!

Speaking from experience (not mine btw) His licence will be suspended because of points. If it was speeding or drink driving it would be a court matter, unless the level was very low, but if that was the case it would have made the Herald Sun front page. It didn't. I was on 12 points and was given 2 options - keep driving and one more point in 12 months reults in suspension for a year, OR take a suspension now or 3 months. I risked the 12 month 'probabtion' which was tricky but OK in the end. I suspect Maysy was on the limit and overstepped speeding wise. easily done on the Monash freeway going to casey maybe. I'm surprised there aren't more suspended drivers on the road given the sheer cost of getting back the licence (if it was due to alcohol). I'll be cheering him on either way Sunday arvo.

Nathan Buckley on SEN this morning spoke rather elegantly about the impact emotionally Max going down had on the team. He said "...the team lost its skipper and leader and both Max and the team felt it was an ACL at the time...." Buckley cut the team a lot of slack as a result. More than just losing a key ruckman, it was the emotional side of seeing Max clearly upset that he believed affected a alrge number of the team. All good now though he thought.

Too true nothing is certain. I am counting on an easy 9relatively) draw and Max's knee coming good. Right now I'd be happy at being 5th to 8th

David King in SEN this morning said jackson must be saying to himself ..."... what AM I doing here..." in relation to both Freo and Freo's forward line.

Looks like we may have found the two teams that statistically fail to make the 8 the next season. Dogs and Dockers. Dogs I get but Freo should be better on 2022. The average is 2.7 teams, so maybe the cats? Can only dream.

The clock is not relevant on the Tele. The game ends when the umpire hears the siren and signals as such. The umpire and players all heard the siren a split second before the ball went over the line, and clearly before the Bounday Ump signalled out of bounds. The Field Ump consequently had no option but to end the game with no further decisons needed. The Boundary Signal initiates the 'deliberate' not just after the ball has been kicked with intent. Ball has to cross the line to become a deliberate. Correct decision and kudos to all officials involved. Pity about the Nuffy commentators - Cam Mooney and Daisy Thomas - feeding into the confusion. Stick to special comments and gambling promotion boys. It suits you more. Huge kudos to Clarkson and Lyon though.

I watched the last 5 minutes and the post match handshaking with the sound off. Try it. To the unaware, you would think the Dees won and the Lions lost. And Fages was furious. Part of us will still be in his head. Fages is upset for sure but many reasons caused the turnaround and the Lions copped a huge advantage when Max when down., and I'm hoping the team parks this result and mentally moves on.

Nice one.

Top post. Daniher kicking 5 was outrageous, and will never happen again. The team's head space when Max went down would have been difficult for Goody to manage. We have leaders all over the ground and will bounce next week. Saved a big % hit. Move on.

Very Good point, but the passenger is a demon tragic like all of us in the true sense of the word and has 60 years of following us. Saved every penny for the trip. It has been the highlight so far appaarently. Never been skiing though and drives a beat up holden.

Grateful the list build is in the hands of people like Taylor and Lamb in these occasions, recognising our achilles heel (one of them) in ruck stocks. Now with Schache we can at least have a form of solution. Heartfelt thoughts to Max at this time . A wonderful leader.

I think this is relevant to the topic. Last week, a Dees tragic on way to Europe on Cunard's Queen Victoria, mid- Indian Ocean, sat back in a lounge on board and watched a live stream of the match.

Clever. Well done McQ !!

I attended the Gabba Rnd 23 match last year in amongst Lions faithful in a dining area . Many Lions fans giving it to Hipwood and many don't rate him either.

Missed that but I suspect it was genuine tears of relief. They lose last night and the media drums on Voss' less than average coaching would have kicked in. Credit to Cameron who carried the cats last night. Lucky to have him. Last week proved to me the Dees have a defensive system that works (missing May and Salem yet got the job done), whereas Cats rely on actual stars like Stweart and henry. Too early to write cats off but they look a shadow at the moment, and Blues ? Not sure yet. Blues vs Dees and/or Pies will tell.

On sen thismorning garry and tim discussed a stat thelooks at all players over the past 7 years that have played 100 games plus in that period. Hipwood was rated last of a big list. They discussed moving him to defence as he ain't a forward

Correct. If he gets more than a week it will be on potential. Another kettle of fish altogether Laughable if that happens. e.g. let's jail this bloke for 10 years., he looks like he might rob a bank.????

Two things(amognst many others) I liked: 1. The Dees fans drowning out the pathetic and unwarranted booing of Lachie Hunter, then we boo Oscer Baker. Also unfair but still hilarious. 2. Who noticed the background of Brody Grundy's post match interview on Kayo showing Clarry (shirtless) and Yze have clearly an in depth discussion in the rooms behing Brody. I thought how lucky are we to have those two.

Nailed it. Has to be the strategy given the starting 22.

Love the optimisim, but I'm sitting here staring at the team line-up just announced and heroic will be the word for sure defensive-wise if we get up. It won't be for lack of trying though. Trac and Clarrie will see to that.

Not in the slighest. This issue, along with the Dees fans and snow season jibes really annoy me. I am putting it down to my current Steven May-induced stress levels for Saturday night. It will be bad, or an heroic win for the ages. I can't decide which. I'll know at the 5 minute mark of the first 1/4. Keep up the good work WCW

What's Pesnion Day got to do with it. Many , many Pensioners can't afford to got to the AFL. I'm serious and its a disgrace.

RE: Steven May possibly missing, prompts a possible screaming headline for the Hun on Monday if the dees get up. " May-Less Dees defence take care of Bevo's four talls - new Drawing Board ordered at kennel"

Great memory. That comment by her was typical. Some people just don't know when to hive it away
