The moneyball disco hasn’t worked. Post the retirement rush, Rats has now had to embrace the grassroots agrarian revolution given the paucity of home grown talent on their list.

Flaw in colour recognition programming red and blue go, red and whiteout?

That week of therapy may have helped.

Ophthalmologist ousted in end of season sacking?

6 Clayton Oliver 5 Jake Lever 4 Christian Petracca 3 Kysaiah Pickett 2 Angus Brayshaw 1 Luke Jackson Honourable mentions; Max Gawn Ed Langdon Ben Brown Bayley Fritsch James Harmes Michael Hibberd Jayden Hunt Jake Bowey Luke Jackson Steven May Akex Neal-Bullen Harrison Petty Trent Rivers Tom Sparrow Jack Viney Adjudication; Home team somewhat favoured by interpretation leniency and on balance numerically. Broadcast; Some myopic confusion mainly on 7 about who were the antagonists? Opposition hyperbole watch; Zorko’s pantomime performance as the dastardly villain was overplayed, insensitive and absurd. Overall comment; Terrific team performance, opposition are roadkill rapidly disappearing in the rear vision mirror. Bring on September!!

Toby Greene doesn’t rate him.

Recall that incident clearly on the grandstand wing at Marrara. Lined up a crow opponent but came off seriously second best. Flip side a younger DK kicked a terrific running goal from HFF, highlight of a very one sided game v Freo same venue.

Cheers DM56! Appreciate the clarification. Concrete now ‘curing’.

D'mania would that be the original Pantheon concrete or is it James Harmes struggling in the 'Gabba glue with 'concrete boots' late in the game?

Erratum: Honourable mentions; Harrison Petty Steven May Ben Brown

6 Angus Brayshaw 5 Jake Melksham 4 Max Gawn 3 Clayton Oliver 2 Jack Viney 1 Jayden Hunt Honourable mentions; Kysaiah Pickett Christian Salem Adjudication; Despite the disparity of free kicks. forward fifty free kicks favoured the Blues. These are 'gold tickets' in close games. Fortunately Carlton's forwards couldn't deliver. Broadcasters; Back to plan B contenders triumph pretenders sent packing. Overall Comment; Cathartic and season defining

Was that a straight left jab or a right cross?

Jayden Hunt and Jake Melksham = Demon Spirit NEVER SAY DIE

No Tommy Alvin warming up in the rooms prior to the ‘94 Qualifying Final.

Those Blu bag appropriators deserve to be excoriated, excommunicated and exorcised before burial in the sacred MCG turf LITD.

S.W.M.B.obeyed has dictated the venue for tonight's viewing is at 'Silks'. Currently running at a bust,* Dees 0 Oppo 2 Prayer will help. Apparently...

Joeboy - well balanced summation

Pies about to drink their own bath water.

Wasn’t that the erstwhile clothing manufacturer Fletcher & Jones? Still have a FJ ‘Reefer’ jacket sitting in the wardrobe. Sadly gets no use in the top end. Thongs, boardies and tees emblazoned with sponsors names are considered the ‘height’ of fashion up here.

From fracking back in day to MCC membership. No wardrobe change required. Remarkable!

Maldonboy38 on another thread summed up the Selwood celebration succinctly, showing due respect for his long reign as a champion footballer. But correctly questioned the Selwood legacy as being flawed due to his poor sportsmanship and chronic propensity for 'plaint. The fatuous ‘warrior’ mythology spouted by a Fox Sports promo was debunked immediately by the very definition provided. Duckwood clearly doesn’t measure up. But the ‘heroic’ visuals of copious releases of blood 🩸 from the captain’s ‘battlefield engagements’ recall a darker more decadent past. Sleepy old Geelong on the Bay, reminiscent of Whitby on the North Yorkshire coast. Is redolent of Bram Stoker’s old haunts set anew in the Antipodes. GBH stadium despite copious tax dollars spent resembles a faux-translyvanian architectural fantasy. Suitably doomed by its deformed dimensions. It is is referred to locally as “Castle Dracula” by the cretins that habitually inhabit the ‘bleachers’ at home games. In response to the eternal question; How Jeerlong stays competitive? This mob’s long reign as finalists without the fulfilment of a premiership cup' is akin to a the theme of dissolution in the movie Interview with a Vampire. Lestat (Selwood) offers Louis (Dangerfield) to transform from a crow to a vampire cat in the vain hope of premiership glory. Which appears almost tangible but remains elusive. Any transfusion of youth is like turning troubled talent like Tyson Stengle (Kirsten Dunst) into a vampire pussycat. Which brings to mind another question. Where does Chris Scott fit in the bigger picture?

Jayden Hunt - not too shabby
