PS Is Thursday game v Brisbane a fully ticketed game? Can MCC members walk up and pick any spare seat?

Just turned on the AFL Franchise v Footscray game - maybe 5,000 there? What a resounding investment that has been.

My issue with ticketed games is the inability to choose where one sits … for me, I hate level 1 and deep in the pockets. In the good old days I could walk up and sit roughly where I enjoy the game most. Now I can’t. Gil - my “game day experience” is becoming less and less enjoyable due to the incessant non game related NOISE. I guess in your corporate box you can enjoy a chat with others while we peasants endure the inane din.

Banking 10-0 has become far more important now than we realised back in April. ❤️💙

WCE at least pushing the arrogant Cats ….. maybe those here who complained that we didn’t beat them by 100 points can rethink.

And that is predictable 🙄

Jj. Gill will no doubt tout the “wonderful game day experience” with over amplified din under a tin roof. I am sure that it will attract multitudes from both families in Tasmania.

Well, Mr Jackson - the next 4 weeks or so gives YOU the enormous opportunity of laying claim to your real worth, hopefully at Melbourne. IF you can, without the onfield help of mentor Max, help is to get through the next month of footy relatively unscathed, then you may be worth millions.

Not this week anyway.

Our injury list blossomed just a week or so too late. Looking with the benefit of hindsight, should / could we have put Howes on the long term injury list and allowed him the full 2022 season to recover? It will be frustrating if he doesn't get at lest a handful of Casey games later in the year.

Some at half time take the short acting ones, others the delayed action variety.

We can only beat teams according to the scheduling - and how important was it banking those first 10 wins. It means we can afford not to panic at this stage. 2021 we had a dream run with injury: 2022 we are having a horror run not only between games but within games. I know we only have a mini bye off (can't see any of our guys partying in Bali) but lets see if we can reset, and by necessity play a slightly different game style.

Saints looking better, or is it Bombers looking worse third quarter?

McKay aint too bad as a marking forward - delivery also pretty good.

re Tommo - as a medi sub he would be far more versatile than a small crumbed. Can play KPP defender, wing releasing whoever is on the non Langdon wing as a small forward. Some have suggested him as a KPP forward - does he have any history there? It is a big ask just because he is big to play at CHF or FF without any experience / recency there. Very sad for Daw to be injured at this time - he was the backup should Max go down: he has and he is not available. How about Rivers and Bowey sharing the non Salem HBF and releasing Brayshaw to wing, or even midfield?

“Yes it is….for Weid 😎 ” Are you suggesting he does the full Mason Cox trick and wear sunnies 😎? Would that make all the difference? 🧐

Do you KNOW that or is it just what you want to think? Others who watch VFL have other opinions. The bye is a shambles and just to reinforce it Gil wants as his parting gesture to give us an odd number of teams, necessitating byes, just to make us appreciate how good it is now as compared to how it will be. 😡

Sounding like a cracked record I have been asking for a couple of weeks, why has Majak missed games recently? Injury? Illness? This should be his moment.

Cox should follow them 😎 Sadly Majak didn’t play VFL - and nobody has said why (unless it has appeared in the last few hours).

Both areas may well relate to fatigue - 4 fewer weeks of preseason compared with most other teams. (Bulldogs also struggling big time though we did them massive mental damage in the GF both as a team and to some well publicized individuals) - I believe at least 5 players have had Covid, and some of these haven’t bounced back. May have been more, though I cannot recall to list the 5. I found a link that I posted several months ago reporting on slow recovery in some endurance athletes. Could this be A factor?

Which leads me to ask again, any information regarding Majak's absence last weekend?

….. or on him? Certainly current form will not enhance his (Jackson) price.

OMG I hope your analysis is right. ❤️💙❤️💙

Does anyone here know why Daw missed the Casey game? If he was fit honestly he could be worth running in Mitch Browns place - he is a big bodied strong courageous tall and could only add some toughness and foil for BBB and Frittata. Could also pinch hit ruck if Max or Dogga spent much of the game forward. Options are limited especially if JVR isn’t thought ready for debut.
