monoccular

Now days no doubt it is immediate EFT, the amount which varies by the microsecond depending on Nathan Brown's and the AFL's joint venture operator Sportsbet latest live odds.

Kodak Box Brownie file still awaiting development.

Once again the AFL's determination to get Carlton into the GF is coming to the fore - now two goal review decisions have gone Carlton's way. Their darlings wouldn't have even made finals if this system was not corrupted through lack of investment.

McKay appears concussed so (depending on Jesse Hogan’s mate, the Carlton doctors assessment) should miss next week. Which may change out defensive set up

Just a point of support to our hard working mids - if you watch a game from high down the ground, the forwards usually huddle and remain huddled as the mids bring the ball forward, so they are left with nobody to kick to other than the static huddle. That is what needs to change - I can’t remember which game, maybe Saints, but there was a lot more spread giving the mids multiple viable target, even if sometimes only 50/50.

Makes it premeditated which should double the penalty. Even if t is, say, 3 from the MRO Collingwood alumnus and even if the tribunal ratified this it will then go to court, pick a Magpie member judge -> nothing to see, and an apology demanded from Goodwin and Brayshaw.

Re Tommy and Smith - best available and probably neither picked now as forwards were Petty Melksham BBB fit and available. But I believe they will both be needed next week especially as the impartial MRO and former Collingwood player feels the need to flex his muscles and JVR gets done (as he will).

I know who knows what they will decide - a certain Michael Christian, former Magpie player. That’s who knows.

ElDiabolo14 - next week is a massive challenge (against Carlton or StKilda?). Even if we can’t get past the PF (Port or BNE away) we just must ensure that we don’t have two straight sets fails from top 4. It would psychologically be a stake in the heart to any confidence and self belief.

Where is Max????

What time would the hearing suit you best, MrCripps? You lawyers probably have a big function to attend.

Pity the AFL are so tight that, like the score review system, they won’t expend a few dollars to provide roaming mikes to the questioners at these press conferences. I guess directors’ bonuses and overseas junkets are a higher priority.

And they don’t even (pretend to) scan everyone entering the ground anyway. It is a scam - but then it is AFL (“draw”, MRP, tribunal etc etc).

Not sure, but the parole staff release the Magpie fans just before game time.

As far as I can ascertain, they have not played once in the rain - their "slick handball game" may suffer more than ours.

Was he in the mystery moon boot?

Let him play ….. twang at the first contest. We beat Collingwood in the GF 1960 in the wet so this could be a good omen. 🙄. They were credited with 2.2.14 but if there was score review back then, yes even the garbage they have today, it would have been 1.2.8.

What a huge game it will be - buzzing with anticipation of yet another insightful and stimulating podcast. Questions have mostly been asked already: the biggest ones are of course forward line up (TMcD's possible return, Smith's role, Spargo v Laurie etc), the ruck (+/- Brundy), defence (Turner vs Tomlinson). GO DEMONS.

daisycutter - is this an early scoop on "Harmes hangs up boots"??

Scored 3 goals and a few behinds as I recall.

Maybe Judd McVee will introduce AMW to his grandpa whose running training has been instrumental in Judd's fantastic debut season.

Do you think Jeremy will request a trade back to us after we shellack Collingwood on our way to the flag? Or maybe you mean Howes. So, more of a TMCD than a BBB!🙄

Charlie is not a first year gangly tall forward - huge difference between than and a ?5th year experienced small high half forward. Chalk and Cheese.

... and an arrogant one to boot 👽
