monoccular

…… but missing by more does?? 🤔🤔🤔

So am I reading this right? MRO Christian thinks Salem nearly accidentally tripping Sheed is on a par with Selwood elbowing someone in the head, or eye gouging. He is even more insane that he has appeared to be to date. PS the AFL site don’t even have the decency to show a clip of the offense.

Don’t flirt with form. As I recall, this absurd pre finals bye was introduced as a illconsidered knee jerk reaction to Ross Lyon “resting” half his team on finals eve - and didn’t that work out well? Agree if any significant injury particularly if at risk of aggravation, take no risk but otherwise gel the team.

Either or both, it is oppositions who will have to do their homework and commit a player or players to them. Maggots had a chance to check their bank statements and make sure the cheques had cleared, and / or checked their text messages from AFL HQ. Yes we do, and maybe therefore this lightning delay could turn out to be a blessing in deep disguise.

Who the hell is our goal kicking coach!? It would appear to be .... nobody??

Bowey and or Rivers could also potentially be used on a wing were Gus to move inside.

or one of them be redeployed as a forward????? Agree, Harry has been enormous and improves week after week. OHS is a big thing now ... like the head being sacrosanct (unless it is Selwood attacking). One requires to have once possessed a functioning brain for it to be dead, so I doubt that is the case with BT.

In fairness, we haven't really seen either of these two. Let them show their wares before we get too carried away (as many did after many drafts especially 2000-2015)!

Can't remember exactly which year but didn't he debut, perhaps prematurely, v Saints after which many here vilified him and called for his immediate delisting (if not dismemberment)?

(Presumably this was re AVDB) - not sure they will rate him as highly after Monday night though.

Haven’t been a great fan but Melk showed his value last night several times. Agree - sadly VDB looks spent. Sparrow and Jordan have plenty of upside. Frittata looking shaky to me but does have some credits still in the bank.

Clearly Simpson is very demanding - thought that Nichols would have got one or two, but I guess he failed to deliver when it really counted.

Maybe Essendon still have “some good stuff” hidden away that could make him grow another 10cm 🙄

BOOOOOOOOOOO! BOOOOOOOO! Nicholls hasn't earned his bonus ... gave MFC 2 x 50 meter penalties

One would think that Demons would be best equipped to play in lightning than most, being accustomed to fire and brimstone.

FFS if we are above them I would rather Ballarrat even. Just F off Scott.

Looks a beauty - cool, calm and collected. Great disposal and almost always constructive decision making.

Bloody weird win.

OMG - don't let this slip. Kick a bloody goal Dees - we did this to them 2018.

Bowey looks very composed. I guess they need to earn their payoff We really need a couple of quick goals - no more bloody behinds. Frees flying freely - FMD another goal . Do something Dees ... they have a sniff and have their fluro yellow mates out there too.

Need to really steady right now. Could easily let this slip - wasting opportunities and they are getting easy ones. Only 4 goals up - 9 minutes to go

Missing 3 - not good enough. Need to get a killer instinct. Brown pushed out - no free

Lee Harvey Oswald didn't hear that

FMD Kennedy and May were both going for the ball - free gift goal.

Nearest lightning now at Joondalup which is 25-30 km away. Play on, or call it off (with a MFC win).
