Good Times Grimes

Crows can match the offer that is put to Danger because he is an RFA. After matching it, they can then trade him to ensure they get something in return for losing their best player.

Bontempelli for Fitz please and thank you.

Aish was subbed on when Hanley came off. I thought he was quite good when he came on.

I think a lot of that would have to do with him not spending as much time as an inside midfielder

6. Gawn: He's starting to look at home in #11 5. Cross: Playing like he wants another go around in 2016. 4. Howe: His best game of the season by a long shot. 3. Hogan: His first quarter won us the game. 2. Dawes: I've been one of his biggest critics for a long time, but he was very good today. 1. Jetta: Great attack on the man and the ball, as usual.

If we were to play like that against Hawthorn we would lose by 20 goals.

Will take the four points, but that was bloody painful to watch.

Gawn has really lifted.

This match is a comedy of errors.

Viney to Beams, Vince to Hanley and Jones to Rockliff?

I sure hope so. Our young brigade need to experience playing games in September that matter.

Banana talk belongs in the "No T$ No B$" thread.

Lay down a pineapple on the Lions and you'll be able to drown your sorrows after the match courtesy of TAB.

I would take it. I'm expecting a 40+ point loss.

Jurrah could turn a game around singlehandedly. He got us back into that match with his freakish abilities, and I've got no doubt that we would've been thrashed if it weren't for him. We could really use him in our 2015 side.

I tipped the Dogs as well...can't see Geelong winning it, really.

Get a Stefan Martin tattoo on my face to complement my new Stephen Dank one.

Not a bad point...who was the last MFC Senior coach to get the top job at another club after their time at the Dees?

There was one for Harmes last week

Thanks for simplifying. It seems as though Roos & Co opted for the ins to stay out unless a late out causes us to require one of the out ins to come in.

"Goodwin will stay".

I agree. The ins will come in if the outs that aren't in go out to make room for them to come in.

They can have Mark Neeld.

Jay Clark thinks that the Lions should play hardball with Aish, and I agree with him. I hate the idea that a player can select his own club after two years in the system, and the club that drafted him usually receives unders in return despite having significantly invested in the player. He also suspects that Carlton are frontrunners for his services.

I've tipped against us this weekend as I think Brisbane have been in good form of late without much reward. This weekend's result won't impact my belief that we won't finish on the bottom. Bottom four, probably, but not bottom.
