  1. You do realise it is possible that after tonight they may jump ahead of us without having kicked a ball today? 😯
  2. Saw him sitting in the Northern Stand many times, chatting with families. Very decent fella, happy to talk to anyone Now a primary teacher playing footy down at Philip Island, if my memory serves me correctly
  3. Could be. But I doubt playing ruck will do Petty's foot the world of good. A risk worth taking? As an aside, I noticed Disco took some of the ruck duties in the third and last quarter vs WCE. Maybe that's the thinking while Max is out
  4. Bowey into the ruck please
  5. You're a very sensible Melbourne supporter, radar. My grandmother would've complimented your tastes It's like high tea in your row!
  6. Mate, sometimes is best not to post anything, rather than revealing ignorance
  7. Are you 15?
  8. Imagine going to the food vendor and saying, "I'll have a bean toss, thanks"
  9. Another 3 goals and 7 marks to Jeffo in a game where Casey were thrashed by Brisbane's VFL team Can't be too far away
  10. Great clip, thanks for sharing
  11. $18 for an acorn??? That's nuts! @Bitter but optimistic brings his fermented clam bun to the footy every week. It's why there's always spare seats around him
  12. We could put Jesus Christ at FF and we'd still struggle to kick a goal if we continue to long bomb as a default tactic, which happens as soon as an opposition applies consistent pressure. Without at least one elite kicking A grade mid, our forwards will struggle. Trac, Clarry, Viney, Gawn, Sparrow are all average/poor kicks going i50. Langdon, Hunter and Billings are too. Probably a contributing factor in why Riv and Kossie are getting more midfield time. McVee and Bowey will be next in line. But thats robbing Peter to pay Paul. Where to recruit an elite kicking mid is another question
  13. And isn't the new Betty Cuthbert bar set up appalling. It's like a noisy cattle enclosure. Totally stuffed up a good bar by putting the TV commentators panel where the old bar was
  14. I like wine
  15. Must've been an accident. Did he apologise straight away?
  16. You trawling the player's family Facebook pages again Dazzle? Shame on you! 🤣
  17. Almost as crazy as playing footy on a cricket ground!
  18. His consistency from game to game is getting better. And certainly the 1%ers and pressure acts are always a joy to watch
  19. IMO May and Max are our two elite (whatever the [censored] that is measured by) contested marks. Tmac, Petty and Lever are good marks. JVR and Turner are still raw and learning the skill Max's ability to cover the ground and take multiple pack marks will be missed
  20. Yep, Max's ability to run repeatedly up and down for 4 quarters and get to contest after contest makes him so important. Having said that, his ruck work is still underappreciated by some. He can tap in nearly every direction to advantage, regularly grabs it and boots 40m forward. The better teams learn to read off his ruck work, which is better than our mids trying to do that off their's
  21. Like it. Bang into them at every chance, get them around the ribs, no straight lines to the next contest, no more nice We are dealing better than expected with the loss of Brayshaw and Tracc, with Clarry down on his previous standard. We'll do the same with the ruck. Chance for us to try out new midfield set ups. Max won't be around forever!
  22. How very dare you! Those are the Landers I most admire. Slanderous claptrap! 😎
  23. I reckon he was super keen to play with his bro, so Carlton were fine for him to have 'issues', perhaps even put extra mayo on them
  24. Getting Bernie Vince from Colin Sylvia compo was gold Drafts are always hit and miss, and it's not just JT that makes the call, it's the whole FD, particularly Roosy in 2013. JT and the FD have had more hits than misses, the most obvious miss was Weid above McKay and Curnow. But ya can't win 'em all Kierkegaard reminds us: life can only be understood backwards - but must be lived forwards.
