  1. Tend to agree with most of this. We really do need to blood a few more than the very good debut seasons of McVee and JVR. Laurie had just a sniff and I must say didn't inspire. But Woey and Howes surely need a few games as HBF, W or HFF in rotation. And of course Disco is likely to seek greener pastures if he doesn't get another go, and not the total setup mismatch on Levi Casbolt. He undoubtedly lost more with his sepsis than his original hamstring. He would have been able to maintain general strength and non running conditioning, but sepsis really knocks the stuffing out and takes far longer to get back from. If he required iv antibiotics for several days this was not trivial in any way. Very hard to tell at that very late stage - he probably didn't quite now by then either. Too little too late. Saturday forecast is 4 - 13 deg and 4 mm rain. Very unseasonal for rain or for such a low maximum. What an absolute bastard if he said that. Needs to be targeted by the team and us fans when we next see him. It was never going to be a hot day in midwinter Central Australia. Nights get freezing though. Definitely a lot of extremely dumb bombing into F50. More blame needs to be targeted on our mids and on ballers than on our forwards. I only saw a little of the Saints v Bears tonight but similar things could be said of the Saints' forward thrusts - a lot of intercept marks by the Bears' defenders. binman - is this more evidence of high loading levels? I think it was you who said that this could come into the equation late in the game.
  2. Making the need for a Thursday night game at Kardinia Park even more flabergasting. Or last Thursday for that matter.
  3. Because the Saints want one more? ๐Ÿ™„
  4. Wrong colors.
  5. Viney playing a blinder. And greasy nose picker in Mayโ€™s back - no free.
  6. So Rowan and Hawkins blatant HTB - play on. Petty no prior - HTB. FMD. Corrupt organization.
  7. Nothing much since his suspension. Is that whytheCats get paid marks for 5 meter kicks? Should but wonโ€™t.
  8. Another shot at goal from a 9 meter kick.
  9. Looked a pretty innocuous contact. What happened? And the mark by Touhey went about 8 meters. Justice that he missed.
  10. Will Rowan get three weeks for careless high contact on Cameron?
  11. Geez. Kozzie doesnโ€™t look on song.
  12. I thought that a fluke was some sort of worm, but instead it is a Geelong goal.
  13. Looks like HTB is the rule of the week.
  14. Fox also. Maybe something to do with broadcasting from a hick country town.
  15. Fence. Certainly conflicted - in which case he should really have resigned. I realise he probably didnโ€™t want to be involved, but by staying he was. Anyway, that is water under the bridge.
  16. Though โ€œbomberโ€ can imply someone / something that bombs out. Like finals. Nothing? Was he blind, deaf or mute? A doctorโ€™s first duty is to his patient, not his paymaster. Complete with emitting sun light?
  17. Just hope that Hawkins doesnโ€™t get May, again. Could Bowser replace the perpetually unlucky JJ as sub? Salo says hi.
  18. I remember Tassie Johnson drop kicking from full back to the centre circle on occasions.
  19. Yes - but his two games v Cats at the end of 2021 gives him a little bit of leeway ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค— R23 2021 final kick - glad he ran straight.
  20. #37 as I recall. Our last premiership full back before Steven May - a great negator as I recall, though John Peck always seemed to have his measure. RIP.
  21. Maybe they could move to Hobart and adopt the ๐ŸŽ logo? Though ๐Ÿ’‰ ๐Ÿ’Š may be a better option.
  22. Just wait for the AFL, whose prime aim in life is to screw the MFC, to again change the rules. "He plays in SE Queensland so he is the property of GC$" (My MFCSS has recurred).
  23. "..BBB hasn't been the same since the haircut, can we get him a wig?" And Ed Langdon please. That is the main point - two consecutive years. HQ probably say that if we want the KB it has to be that way - yet faves Collingwood don't suffer the same fate (two consecutive years).
  24. Sadly footy has moved on from being a game, a competition to just another big business. Fairness and even handed justice has very little role, unless it makes a few bucks.
  25. Yet Rioli can clobber an opponentโ€™s jaw with the raised forearm / elbow = fine only. Michael Christian just throws some dice.
