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

I thought tmac still had issues that allow him to play well in defence running forward. But manoeuvrability still a problem preventing him being effective around the ground and forward. Jvr won't be hitting the scoreboard if he spends more time rucking. A fascinating game coming up.

But not our mate Kane. He's tipping Dees by 3 goals.

It's clearly a joke selection . I'll wait to see the real team. Should be any minute now. I had a level of confidence . Gone now.

I subscribe to kayo purely on the basis of quality. Analysis commentary and range of shows. Ch 7 are stuck in the 70s and treat the viewers like children. Their refusal to move on bt a prime example of not noticing the meteor has hit. Having said that afl360 is now a shadow and not on my must watch list any more. Footy classified likewise. Watch the Sunday Footy show to see how low the fat bar is

And no-one's mentioning the huge downside for the Dons if they lose. Beaten no-one, choking again this year. etc. They become the media frenzy go-to story of the week, and then just how good are the Dees winning w/out Gawn and friends. Can't wait.

This is the point lost by the media. They managed the covid years deplorably. Demonstrates how meritorious the Dee's and tiges flags were in 20 and 21. No way did we bottom out. The finals performances in terms of club management by the Dee's was one for the ages. Given Eagles performance you'd have to question Board competency. But no. Let's make Simmo the fall guy.

Good point, but seriously better than our next fill-ins for Max.

Reminds me of the 88 GF. Lost strawbs for suspension so swooper goes in with Danny Hughes from memory for first bounce. Didn't work really. Not season ending but draper is a serious player and coaches will be earning their pay this week. Win, and it will be historic. I've still got us making finals with a loss to bombers

Like it. We need to keep JVR up forward. he can ruck for short bursts, but one of our keys to finals now this year. (amongst others of course)

Absolutely. he played tall again at times yesterday showing his ability in the air and his body work at a couple of critical times. I like the mix too with Kozzie.

If we start the protecting lead mindset with a percentage of 99 it will be disgraceful. If the lead is only a few points then we must just to keep season alive. Tricky

No your not. Your'e a legend, sort of. I was referring to ANY virgin customers paying top dollar. Living in Vic I would drive very time if I had a hankering to attend. Been to plenty of Adelaide oval games watching Dees win in last few years, all on $100 flights. Price gouging is an art form in Australia, and the AFL is complicit in this for gather round IMO

Which game are you talking about. In neither the north or Lions games are you figures correct for Oppo scores across any 3 quarters. In both cases they are better than us.

Agree but I'm channelling my 1987 experience here. I see the team building belief over next 2 weeks. Then a roll starts and ends who knows where. I saw what they can do and are capable in first 3 quarters last week. Thus the hope. We'll know soon enough

There's a sucker born every minute. Possibly said by p t Barnum These days they're known as interstate gather round attendees. Such an unbelievably stupid concept only the afl could dream up.
