monoccular

Did they install implanted booing into Optus Stadium when it was built?? It is (just about) as bad as WCE games.

We are of course, as reigning premiers, now the hunted.

“ … doesn’t especially love the big city lifestyle ..”. So he is off to the country town, Geelong then. 😱

Two questions re the Sporting Globe Bar 1/ what was May drinking? 2/ was Melk there?

Do we know the medical sub yet? IF Tommo I guess they would be worried about May and or Lever, otherwise probably Chandler.

Pushing up his market value?? Or, maybe JVR is cover against Jackson defecting to Free as the teams run out onto the field? 😱

As above we went for nigh on a decade without a home game v Druggies. And Carlton Hawthorn Collingwood Richmond are never sent down to that marginal seat subsidy ground with the absurd boundaries and little visitor access whereas we go every bloody year. Yet some still hold that the AFL ain’t a corrupt clique. Of course just because Lobb has been named doesn’t mean he will play.

"...There is a Jetstar flight leaving at 1:40 am, but I doubt if they would use that ?" Would probably arrive by Tuesday morning. Sadly I think Joel would be only one more long term injury (wherever he plays) from being delisted. 🤕

Brilliant - we need to replace Goody (Premiership coach) with WAL. Perhaps he [Baker] just doesn't fulfil his role? Re selection announcement - Surely the squad has gone over to Perth already (Thursday afternoon), or do we go on the morning of an evening match??

Midfield or wing?

Fantastic news for Gus and for MFC and all their supporters. THANKS GUS. And ... we won't have to rename the Gus n Gawny podcast.😀

1. Gamesmanship - but certainly NOT the intention of the OOB on the full rule. Not sure how it can be changed, unless (radical change) the guy who flicks it onto the other's boot gets a deliberate paid against. Very hard to adjudicate. IMO those should be regarded as "incidental" and the ball thrown back in. 2. Surely this is an extension of the Kevin Bartlett rule and he should be regarded as still in possession? 3. Cheating - heavy fines in retrospect should be paid, and if any of the multitude of maggots (2 goal, 4 boundary, 3+emergency field) see it they should call it out immediately. It would stop very quickly. Wink, wink; nod, nod. Both are above the shoulders and I see no ducks so both are frees.

Can’t you afford a 🐴 🐎 horse?

Macca - sound thoughts but it will ultimately only work if the umpires start showing some consistency and even handedness.

Interesting concept - it would also mean that guys like Bedford could get a run late in a game without having to spend (I think it was at one stage 5) weeks without a game. Specifying the number of days could disadvantage teams with multiple short breaks, and advantage those with longer breaks. Maybe missing one (or two) matches would be a more equable rule.

I are not quiet shore why they do this, but if yew agree I will keep quite about it.

Surely it is t time for JVR - binman, isn't this close enough to be "eve of finals"? Our season IS on the line, and if we are to roll the dice on JVR surely it is now.

Free don't hold draft picks that they could offer us anywhere near the top 4-10 that looks like will be needed to get Cadman. Unless we can do some blackmail with WCE 2 or 3 picks v Jackson.

From the recent SEN interview: "It (position) is certainly something that comes into calculations,” Brayshaw stated. “I’ve heard all sorts of theories about where I play my best footy… I’m really loving playing on the half back flank this year. “It came a bit out of nowhere and I absolutely love being a part of that group.”

The head honcho and polo ponies, I believe. I agree entirely. Let's hope it is not the dreaded 'rona 🇨🇳🦠shared with the playing group.

Or it may make him want to play there every second week 😮 (MFCSS kicking in early).

It is the millennial way.

“One thing I’m quite proud of is that despite all the talk and the noise I haven’t really let it affect the way I play footy and commit to the team." Unlike Jackson?? ..... "It (position) is certainly something that comes into calculations,” Brayshaw stated. “I’ve heard all sorts of theories about where I play my best footy… I’m really loving playing on the half back flank this year. “It came a bit out of nowhere and I absolutely love being a part of that group.” Doesn't sound t me that he is demanding a midfield role.

If Goody took any “learnings” from the Footscray game it should be low spearing passes into I50, not bombs. Even if not at a leading player, if goal side of a contest it gives our fast crumbers an even chance. Bombing is not working.

For those of us who don’t / can’t open Twitter what was the gist? I would think any sort of win, sure 4-5 goals would be great, will give hope (and expectations) for the rest of the season. Another loss and I would agree with you. Weed also seemed to mysteriously disappear after half time, after a career best first quarter - was he injured?
