Up there with Ricky pettard

Yes I was having kittens worrying he might do a hammy. I'd have put him on ice halfway through the third. In all seriousness has there ever been one player more important to our chances of winning a flag?

Agree. A simple fix, to what is becoming a real issue - GWS did it almost every time yesterday (we proably did too, but i didn't notice, strangely enough). The 50 metre penalty was introduced to stop exactly this issue. Blatant and owis verty effective at stopping player splaying on. So they don't play this 50 but play the stupid exclusion zone, which rarely actually impedes a player from playing on. Crazy.

Was brilliant wasn't it. Had to laugh though - watched the replay and the commentators did not mention his name when they replayed the goal. All over Lewis and Melksham 'needle in a hay stack!'). Like he didn't exist. Seems to happen a bit. i'm convinced something about the the way he plays, perhaps because he is slow and looks a bit like a stoner, means commentators think all his fantastic work is happenstance. Just watched his AFL stats pro involvements and his kicking was fantastic. Very attacking and involved in a number of scoring chains. His kick to Gawn in the third was another pearler.

Two completely ridiculous threads on DL for the last couple of months. This is one.

I think i've found dr d's avatar. Where is he by the way.....

The Harmes Explosion (T.H.E) Good name for a band.

Hibberd is big in and i like him coming in as third man (except when he hits down Cogniglio's throat!). I like Maxy pushing forard also but he has been damaging dropping back into the hole and so a bit of both for mine

Yep, for sure.

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.
