Nothing in it but the MRP is a circus so he'll get 2 weeks

We're wired up differently. After a decade or longer of being a weak team I enjoy every MFC win that I get to watch. I'd love to see another flag but I don't let myself get stressed about our form and whether we're the best team on the comp in round 8.

I agree and I think that's why it's been musical chairs in those positions this season. I think BBB and JVR will be the best combo. Petty goes down back.

Dont think we'll take the Hawks lightly but we may look to give a few a freshen up. Almost certain JVR will get rubber out. Just watch the MRP look at the outcome and not the action BBB needs to come in regardless. Was in great form before the mystery back injury

Some people will never be happy. We're top of the ladder with a 6-2 record. I prefer the look of this year than last tbh. Were having a look into the squad depth and still getting the wins on the board. Winning ugly is fine by me

Good to get 4 points out of that. Sun's were very good I thought. Onwards and upwards

Great podcast @Demonland. Some very honest and interesting answers from Mr May too.

Respect your right to your own opinions, but I can't see how this can be called tokenism (imo)

Shouldn't be news. I'd expect this to continue forever now, with more and more teams jumping on the bandwagon no doubt

Islanders or Devils. Both NHL teams haha. I'm totally on board with Tassie joining and potentially a 20th side BUT would hate to see a conference system. Absolutely no need for it imo.

I'm keen to know about the hammy injury he played with in the 2021 GF. Feel free to ask in a more eloquent way but as someone who has had a range of hammy injuries it seems wild to me that he was able to play such a big game and was passed fit by the medical staff. Was pain an issue, or was it more of a restriction in movement come game day? Did he have to get pain injections to get through?

Merge both [censored] truck teams from the West haha. Problem solved

Everyone is looking at the pre-move dynamics of the two examples I gave. I guess for completeness I could have added Weid, Sauce and Bedford to the discussion My point was more around the outcome. The grass isn't always greener, despite the longer contracts and more money out there. Need to balance sucess and enjoyment with the other factors. In years gone by I'd have thought that was a glib statement, but pretty sure the Jackson and Hunts moves would be referenced as possible outcomes at some level during the decision making process.

The plight of Luke Jackson and Jayden Hunt are proving to be great examples of why players should re-sign rather than go elsewhere. Either go for more money and be held to unrealistic expectations, or go for more opportunities at a weaker club and get thrashed non stop haha. Not saying these situations always play out like this, but they're a great example to guys like Chandler who might have options to consider.

No player on our list gives me more joy than Kozzy. Absolute gun to watch. Stoked with this news

Just watched the vision of Barty giving Schache his jumper. [censored] he was a legend. Still devo he retired so young

Great post. Like the idea of resting hibbo. Sun's aren't the easy beats that they've been in the past but should be a win if the boys front up with the right attitude. I know Spargo is rated highly by the FD but I can't see an obvious reason to get him in based on tonight's from

Jiiiizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Good luck to the lad. Weids is playing like a man at the bombers so I have hope Shaq will reinvent himself too. Who would have thought we'd line up without Ben Brown or Tmac in the F50 without injuries being an issue. I'm stoked that the FD are taking a look at the whole squad and aren't scarred to mix things up.

Yeah I don't know why they bother with the smoke and mirrors

Pretty sure Petty lined up Dusty, missed and smashed Tommy Gun?!

Grundy has been very good, but Max is 6 x AA for a reason. His tap work is great. He's just come back from a knee, so anyone using 1 game as a sample size to compare their tap work needs to take a deep breath

I'm just glad this isn't being played in TAS. Love tassie, but not for playing Norf. Windy suburban ovals are a leveller.

I think think our coaches are open to resting and rotating players more so than we have done in recent seasons. I don't think we can take Norf lightly but If May is carrying a niggle I'd rest him and give Disco a crack. Similarly if vineys knee needs a rest Give Dunstan a run. Same goes with Grundy. If he needs a freshen up after covering as a sole ruck, let Shaq a run along side Gawn. Provides an opportunity to reward strong VFL form too

I'll take that win over the 50 point victory that I predicted. Hard fought, in a big match. Boys should take alot of belief from that. I echo what alot have said about needing to find our best mix forward and back. With that said, there's so much upside to come. May to get back into form, BBBB to come back in and Petty to go back to defence imo.
