You should have posted this on Day 1 of the thread and saved a lot of angst. Surfing is how poor gws is and what a bleak future their players have missing out on playing regularly at the G. I'm seriously sympathetic to those players and amazed more haven't left

They've stupidly s reduced 2 games Friday night. Early start for us means viewers can catch later parts of second. Afl management of football blows my mind.

I got it during the game after 1/4 time

Excellent points LG. Not a lot of in-depth thinking on this issue. Sure the Dees have issues, but lets call it out everywhere. Not doll it tired old tropes

Don't get sucked in by the lazy AFL media. The Pies vs Tiges game had 58,000. They have a total membership of 200,000 combined. Equates to 29% of members GWS have nothing and we have 65,000. 17,000 attendence equates to 26%. Same ballpark and just Demon -bashing by commentariat. Caro did it a few years ago, but when big clubs fail to attarct we hear crickets. I was there and it was freezing and left at 3/4 time being in my late 70's eneough was enough of the weather.. It was on free to air. What did you think would happen.? Tiges v Pies was primetime afternoon in the sun. Why not 85K. Oh, thats right their [censored] too.

I'm not the market, but can someone hum one of her tunes so I can recognise it?

A most conservative and reactionary senior management team if ever I saw one. Apart from Barnesy in 2018, which should be standard each year, to Robbie in 2022 (which was the most entertaining thing on the day) AFL are just out of their depth on this issue. Everyone who has been knows the MCG has shocking acoustics, and daylight donesn't work. And we need this why????

Excellent summary of the Tiges comparison - none at all really. Could add in Clarko's faiure to build the hawks on the run - remember Jaeger O'meara anyone. Our profile is ripe for quality top up in some areas. Just needs to be well managed. After reading this afternoons Age update on Trac's progress, and the steps are younger players have taken, looking forward to 2025, and tomorrow night. I expect to beat Gws,

Good point. And Gus also in 2018 when he came 3rd. Fantastic effort by clarry.

You may be right but I have dees finishing 5 even before last game and had assumed a loss to freo. I will stand by this but withdraw if we lose to gws. Before last week we had a solid month of form.

Interesting only . Clayton played in good teams winning more games so oppo player took less votes from him than in the losing days of Robbie and Wells.

That's worth something I guess. On ya Hodgey.

The Pies one and only wooden spoon was in 1976. And guess who they played and got spoon-fed against. Mighty dees at Vic Park. Sun headline Monday was "dees spoon feed pies"

Well said. I've got us 5th even with freo loss

Their analysis supposes the changes to the 8 from last year will be of a number that has never(hardlyever) occurre, And as they both said, their predicted 8 will be wrong for sure. They both had flaky Power in the 8 for example. I reckon the 8 will be as it is now in terms of teams making it. Positions to be determined. 2 in and 2 out from 2023- Pies and Power out.

John Northey 1987.

The past 3 weeks have us as an 'in form' team that others will be fearing. Sunday will tell if this is so.

But he was banned from rock climbing on game day a few years ago by the club so probably had excess energy saturday evening.

Thanks Absolutely comedy gold

Some on here myself included thought he may need a rest. Coaches might know something about the young man we don't. Nice that he's owning the Robbie Flower Wing

Nice one Dimma. Many thanks

Did we see Caleb Windsor put himself into rising star favouritism last night.? In front of a huge crowd, prime time TV and coolness under pressure. The commentators loved him. I used to bemoan having to watch ed langdon from afar but now I have the closer Windsor wing to watch him close up for 4 quarters.

Absolutely spot on Frank. Many other factors also but a 6 possie game by Harrison wasn't one of them. I hope he can get some form. But let's enjoy the moment till freo. Nothing but pride for this club. Huge and I mean huge hug from Chandler with Kate at the race as the team left the field. Wonderful.

I called petty's ruck a joke selection. Turns out I was right. I love goody but tonight a never say die team and magnificent youngsters got us over the line. Against what we all know are pretenders with no spine. That's a quote from a bombers fan sitting next to me. He's shattered again. No way can we risk this structure against freos midfield on a dry track. I have us 5th in two rounds from now.

Last night showed how low the Pies are at the moment c.f. last year so bombers still haven't beaten anyone yet on which I'm hanging my confidence hat tonight
