I’d love a Brissy victory just because I hate Essendon the most

Heaney is a star

Had to bump. This is fantastic!

Rioli getting off is a completely unfathomable decision. The Tribunal have just confirmed they are completely out of touch with the average fan. Bizarre

So I’ve worked out I’m pro Brisbane but anti Daniher

Funnily enough I hardly notice it any more

As has Tom Sparrow

For me now, Libba’s usual demeanour is him, time and time and time again, chasing Melbourne players out of the centre square moments before we kick a goal.

Out: Scott. Has kicked 2 goals this year (10 in 2021), averages 7 disposals (12) and isnt clunking marks like previous years. In: Zanker

Hanks. She is a star Heath D Pearce Bannan Mithen

Free Kicks 14-24. In an even game the umpires had bit of a shocker

We have done well in last quarters all year. Hopefully our superior fitness will see us through

Could not agree more enthusiastically

Yes this could be a very short thread. Hard to see anyone making a case to drop a player after that demolition.

Mithen D Pearce Hanks West. Love the way in contests she rips the ball out of the oppositions hands. She may halve but rarely loses a contest. Reliable. Kicking still suspect but has immeasurably improved since the beginning of the year. L Pearce Edit. Added West comment because she is fast becoming a favourite player

Whilst different ‘characters’ it also explains why Gawn is universally admired. Max is a true original who isn’t afraid to be himself. He also encourages this trait in others and that makes you like him even more

I hate the Bombers above all others, I like Tippa. I am glad he is back

Rohan really was awful wasn’t he. I sort of wondered if he was actually injured when he got replaced or just embarrassed

Fair enough. It was always going to be hard for Eddie to admit that the Queens Birthday match this year would be Collingwood’s Grand Final.

Yes, much like the mens team, it is easy to see that roles are being embraced. Unlike the boys I am unsure if we can beat everyone but the girls won’t die wondering that’s for sure

Funnily enough, despite a million wins in a row, I don’t actually think we learnt to play Casey that well. Just a bit better than the opposition. There is an opportunity here. I am in furious agreement with @Meggs and @BDA it would be a handy time for Hore to get back to her AA best. Zanker and Scott to play to their potential too please. If we get an even contribution from the first bounce then we win. Oh and please let’s not concede a goal in the first two minutes like we normally do.

Possibly our strongest side for the year. I would have had Fitzsimmons in for Parry as I don’t think Parry adds anything. She is obviously performing some role though as she keeps getting selected

Yes when Charlie Cameron is on fire he can make nearly every AFL defender look a bit silly.

The can’t have won a flag criteria may count Ronald Dale out of this discussion, particularly as he has 10. Isn’t having ten premierships to your name just extraordinary. Mind blowing really

My favourite bit was where Scott says “The last thing I want is for it to be perceived like we are making excuses” to which Damian Barrett replies “I don’t think anyone sees it that way” Fair to say that Barrett didn’t ask me if I thought Scott was making an excuse!
