monoccular

Probably not the right thread but the TMc knee to the back wasn’t even a free as I recall …. barely a week after the AFL reiterated that it would not be tolerated. When Cox returns he will feel that he has free rein. Such typical AFL hypocrisy / double standard.

Can the sky be the limit if, according to the thread title, it is falling? Could it meet us its way down? 🙄🙄😱😱

Like you, I see Sestan as very low risk, potentially very high ceiling. Trust in JT.

old dee - I don't recall anyone even dreaming that Oliver Sestan could play AFL in 2023. Many however may wish and hope that he can be a massive surprise packet in the next few years. Any impact would be a huge bonus.

Kane who? Anyone of any relevance? Move on.

Well he sure ain’t Max … but if we didn’t have him with Max down, heaven help us. In that context alone he is a brilliant pick up.

Drinking own bathwater or lack ing focus?

May is a couple of weeks away Unfortunately we only have one, and despite being far from his best thank our list managers that we at least have Brundy. With Max injured who would we ruck without him?

Isn’t April 1 is it? No way will he get a game 2023 without catastrophic injury list.

…. like most of his colleagues.

And not alone.

Melksham you are a bloody disgrace.

Reality check big time. SEVEN UNANSWERED GOALS JUST UNACCEPTABLE.

Lack Leverage.

What an amazing kick by Fogarty. Hopefully will crush the Blues.

Great to see at least at ¾ time Blues percentage down to 100.8

Was the de Koenig who spoiled in the line into the goal square-> Adelaide goal. Fundamental error.

Riv may not have the tank right now for extended periods in the midfield but the more players we can cameo through there the better the depth when the inevitable injuries occur. The entire squad based in Perth in that wonderful (though bizzaire) period contributed to the premiership, even those who didn’t play. In particular, and I believe Max has alluded to it, was Majak Daw who although he never played at senior level for us proved an invaluable training partner for Max.

Even Target wouldn’t put Derwaynne, JB and BT in their sales bin - now, maybe, The Reject Shop would be a far more appropriate place.

Is he any relation of Jamie Duursma who did ok at CHB for us in the late 80s early 90s?

That is a bit nasty - unless you mean a season ending injury to his self esteem.

Diamond Jim Tilbrook #2 ?? ”You are paid big bucks - get your own ball”!

Of course there will be plenty of MFCSS in people's assessment of everything that Kozzie does from now until he signs or leaves. Just maybe he is feeling extra cautious in the circumstances

TMcD does this quite a bit - runs his opponent all over the place, diverting them from the core, then breaking away to gain possession especially later in the game when less aerobically fit opponents waver. Not all of his hard yakka is recognised on the stat sheet.

Thanks guys as ever for the informative and entertaining podcasts (and written contributions). Whilst Harrison Petty doesn't seem to be setting the world on fire as a forward, I do see the advantages he offers as both a competitive / combative beast in the forward line, and as the strongest and best back up ruck we have on the field at present. So until Max returns, I would keep his in his current role. He couldn't do the job from defence where he has his space to fill and opponent to account for. But when Max returns, will Harry return to defence? I guess a lot will depend on who is performing both forward and back when that momentous moment arrives. Supplementary question to Casey watchers: is Disco close to getting another run, and if so in whose place? The injured Hibbo? Regards
