Jetta had to make the squad of 40

Dr d where are you? I was thinking a picture if Tom sculy as your new avatar. Or Jordie gysbert 'pumping' iron.

Bumping two power clubs to Thursday night. Channel 7 must be losing their touch.

Agree. And thar has to be put down to good coaching. Credit where due. Some of the decisions around passing (unfortunately execution can still let the down) has been first class. Great example was harmes to kent last week. Spargo to vdb today was another.

I was close to choosing avilus too. But it was too short. Same with grunt. I was close to choosing paret as best but even though i backed it hesitated. Class will out. In hinsight best was theanswermyfriend. Backed ir but really was too short

Sorry fellas on best bet. Wrong choice. Obviously. Cant use my home computer atm as renovating office. So trying to do stuff on phone. Got track bias right. Summer sham wrong. Note to self best bets should always be good horses. Actually had a fantastic day, with 7 winners. Three at mv.

Sorry summer sham is race 5 no 4 at mv. Currently 3.10 on fixed odds

Whoa what a trecherous day. Struggling to find a best bet. Rosehill super tricky with 3vyear olds coming back and soft with rain to come. Playing the valley as leaders track. Best bet a quirky one. Summer sham a place. Will get out in front and be very hard to get past.

For celebrating I'd prefer it distilled

I'd like to have some confidence installed. Can you do a quote?

My thoughts exactly.

To (once again) borrow and mangle from Life of Brian: Believer: Only if Oliver was truly injured would 000 deny his injury 000: What? Ok he is injured! Believer: Oliver IS injured!!!!!

Ah yes. I don't like being under the overhang either. I remember going to the 2000 GF and thinking i had a great seat. Go to my seat at the bottom of the old ponsford stand and i could almost touch the concrete overhang above me. Uggh. Was a bad start to a very bad day. Wedged in under a million tones of concrete surround by bombers' fans and feeling completely claustrophobic. Double uggh.

Is 2a at the top? I have sat at all 3 levels at tbe punt road end. The middle one is the best. The very top is the one i dislike

Absolutely it will be a tough game. They are not top 4 out of luck. And we face a big challenge making sure we are switched on after such an emotional win last week. Really important we are ready and that we win this game.

It is pretty good viewing in the Southern stand, but i prefer the ponsford. Partly out of long term habit, but also because it is less crowded (i think because more people come from Richmond station that the other direction), it is a newer (and a bit more comfortable) stand and the incline of the seats is less severe. I feel like i'm falling in the Southern standard - and also it feels as if the seats are little more cramped.

Tell your hubby this sort of rubbish might have been acceptable when we last won a flag. But not in 2018. Even if we play the first final in Melbourne you should book a beaut room at the Pullman (the old Hilton), have a slap up meal at some flash restaurant (but not with him - dees fans only) and then before the game a big buffet breakfast before strolling to your premium seat ta the g to watch us smash the Cats. Get ahead of the game and book a room for the following week and hope we play the hawks and make sure he knows he has to look after the kids (because you are more organised).

Not sure how familiar you are with the g (i naturally assume everyone knows it as well as i do!) but the Ponsford is the stand at the city end behind the goals. So you look down the ground. Most people seem to prefer sitting on the wing (which is why you will almost always get a seat at the top of the ponsford) but as i say i prefer being up high behind the goals. I often think that in this age of presses and players moving all over the ground the coaches would be better of sitting behind the goals rather than the wing

My favourite spot at the g is top of the Ponsford. I love the view from up there and being able to see the spread and formation of the players as the ball transitions from end to end. Also with a GA membership you get your choice of seats for a game like this one. The only issue is that for smaller crowds the bar is sometimes closed so you have to go downstairs. But if there is 30k it might be open

...quite pleased

Get a room.

The thread is clearly in jest. But in the same spirit i would have him at the club as a runner. Perfect as he would get to point, instruct and direct to his hearts content. Can't imagine though that Goody would take too kindly to being told his instructions are ##%%##%#%# wrong.

No. A fantastic player and one of favourite non dees player. but the time has passed for bringing players nearing the end of their career into the club. Particularly one who has had 9 months out of the AFL environment. However i reckon he would be great fit for Lions, given where they at in their development and list mix. He would also be closer to home up there, Hodge will play on i assume and Rioli and Cameron would represent a pretty good combination up forward.

I think this is a brilliant point.We often seem to get the worst umpires - i think because often our games are not considered 'big'. For big games you really need the best umpires and i though they did a terrific job all in all. The best umpires seem to often let 50 50 ones go (like the OMac call), whereas average umpires often seem to want to impose themselves and pay everything - or worse are inconsistent tin what they pay (particularly in games at the Adelaide Oval or in Perth. Where the crowd becomes a factor) We were lucky not to get pinged a few times, as were they (one comes to mind that made me laugh - Vander gets legged and the WC fans are baying for holding the ball, despite him getting handball off - and then go crazy when a couple of seconds later Tmac goals). I find it crazy the AFL are considering radical rule changes when they could improve the game overnight by biting the bullet and having professional umpires. It would make the game better instantly. As for conspiracy theories? Is it 1 April? Is this a satirical thread?

Agree largely - except for him being near our best field kick. I reckon he is actually pretty average as filed. kick. When i listed the players who i think are above average kicks (only 12 in total) he was not one of them. Tries too many cute stabby kicks. Hogan is a gun and will be scary over the next few years as he gets stronger. Hawkins is a good comparison i reckon
