  1. Friggin' amazing will do it for me.
  2. Fair enough, but I am not convinced that he has (at least yet) the footy smarts. (which may reflect lack of continuity due to injury, or, maybe just not there?)
  3. And his (Kozzie) GF involvements were greatly underrated too. Many said he had a very quiet game - by his standards maybe NB no goals. Not a lot of conventional stats but a hell of a lot of pressure acts.
  4. Bowey 2021 says “hi”! joe boy and ST - whose place would Joel be pressing? Bowey? Rivers? Hibberd?
  5. The blue and white was vertical today - horizontal in the PF, though I guess the Cats lying down makes them look vertical
  6. Impressive ever since his first game.
  7. IF the MFC managed to get the rules changed to get Ron Barassi Jnr then more power to them. At this stage he must be regarded as our best father / son pick. Wasn't aware that Big Bob Johnson was also a formal father / son pick - was also a great contributor to that golden era. Jack Viney is the only other standout in my memory. Many other were just so-so, or less (but congratulations to them all for ever achieving what the overwhelming majority of posters here have not: getting selected onto an AFL/VFL list)
  8. Maybe Eddie stuck his bib in just as an opportunity to say that he was feted at the Super Bowl and us peasants weren't.
  9. We get that - consistently inconsistent. The only consistent thing they do.
  10. ..... and the most grating voice I have ever heard on radio.
  11. But to keep the window open there needs to be constant renewal. And never ever forget his incredibly shrewd tactical "deliberate OOB" round 23 - knowing that the Cats would go down the line and some id1ot would smash to away for a 50 meter ..... who else would not have instead have tried to put it up near the goals. Brilliant work. 🤔
  12. Thanks Phenomenal work ….. still trying to think what to do with the info though.
  13. …. another four flags? ❤️💙❤️💙
  14. Why are you saying that Tomlinson isn’t ready? By all accounts he is in full training and has played in the club hit outs. If our new club doc, and his orthopedic specialist and our fitness guru say “go”, then I would certainly have him ahead of the unlucky but less than consistent Smith.
  15. Not so sure about the velodrome track length vs the dimensions of a decent sized Aussie Rules oval.
  16. …. and maybe less stable?? We do not want anything like Ox at that awful surface outside Junction Oval.
  17. Thanks JNM And you of course left out the Norm Smith medalist from that list - when he kicks clutch goals in pivotal moments NB GF x2, and ANZAC Eve the whole team lifts. Scoreboard pressure can absolutely crush opposition morale and spirit.
  18. Brilliant stuff Max, sorry picket. Interesting re Sparrow - I and others I think have seen him as more a Viney clone - another Oliver clone must be very worrying, for all opposition teams. So exciting a prospect.
  19. And one of them starts “It’s a grand old flag……..”. What is the other one?
  20. “…..Until Selwood captains Geelong to a flag, I don't want to hear people talking about him like he is General Douglas MacArthur. ” Maybe a better General for comparison would have been George Custer? 😮
  21. I had forgotten just how agile and strong Tom was especially in the first ¾ of the season …. many opportunist goals from strong bustling and breaking clear.
  22. Honestly who is their right mind actually knows what 😮 wanted. Postponement for a week? A month? And if he was so concerned did he contact the AFL and demand that this be done? Contact WA Health expressing concern re some unknown infection afflicting the players to whom he had a duty of care, as well as a duty of care to the opponents and the whole AFL competition, let alone the WA community? Pretty clearly just making excuses for poor list management, poor preparation and poor team selection.
  23. Maybe Luke Wanted to play for a coach who was prepared to defy Gil, and have an occasional beer with his players.
  24. I certainly hope that Stuart Dew didn’t use the “f” word in earshot of the club doctor, or have a beer with any of his players, as this would be a massive scandal and probably force the impartial Gil to close the club down.
  25. Maybe Basil was overseeing it?
