monoccular

And who will take his rôle until Tomlinson returns to defence? Majak? But SHocking and Gil tell us repeatedly that the head is sacrosanct, and if course Christian does too (when the commentators highlight it) ?

Trade implies two parties each wanting something I believe that he had been, but it is certainly not an option this year in the absence of Tomlinson.

Have been a big fan, but also lost me Monday. IF they don't think BBB is an option, then Mitch Brown or even Majak would provide a better contest.

Thanks for that … but what is the average over the year and over the competition? Strangely I was far more confident trailing badly against the Bears at half time than when we briefly hit the front yesterday. There just seemed no intensity or excitement in the playing group. Much like 16 points up on the Crows with minutes to go.

At least we are unlikely to come across Colonwood or Adelaide in finals ??

Bitterly disappointed overall today. The ball (watching on TV) only came his way a few times. Not really sure who would want him at the moment. Amso very uncertain if BBB would have done any better quite frankly with the pathetic delivery forward.

McDonald “distracted”?

… or bloody well kick with commitment

I guess Melksham will get a recall. ?

Cooked. How many contested marks, how many inside 50?

Will be very very lucky to get away with this. Myichek!!

Tracca ?

Touched — paid the bloody mark!!!

Jacko!!!

ZERO system going forward .

Block on Petty not paid

So should we name him Baldy, or Toupee?

Agree with that one. Maybe “excessive unreasonable appealing” should be penalised with a free against. Would love to see it used against Selwood and Hawkins in particular.

And we’re the umpires on the same flight? If so sitting with whom? And were they singing along with Dolly Grey?

Assuming of course that Victorian authorities allow VFL matches next weekend.

And BT would in all seriousness ask - “is that where babies come from?”

Ernest - all of us here must feel their pain. We have been through as bad, or worse. No doubt injured, again. No found someone could find out how many games he has played out if how many possibles in his chequered career. Best guess 30-30%? Definitely both - some more in one category, some in others, but all meet qualifying standard in both categories

Maybe, though Selwood’s approach seems to reap more rewards.

Yes we were done over by the maggots in the last few plays, but we should never have allowed them back into range after mid Q4, with our superior fitness. IMO the defence looked disorganized … missed Salem more than realized. And overall a team only needs to be a little bit off and … bingo. Just hope we have learned from the experience (Goody’s “learnings”) and don’t let it happen again. Will need to be right on song on Monday. Colonwood will either be flat as a pancake in which case we should be relentless to boost %, or really switched on and will take a full team effort to overcome And, yes … Adelaide very ordinary tonight.
