  1. Like it a lot. Which round is it for and who are we playing? Just thinking of clash potential.
  2. Yes, but that becomes very predictable and quickly negated by the opposition
  3. What an itinerary Earl! Shame I'm incarcerated for the next 25 years and unable to participate. Marriage will do that to you.
  4. Good nutshell summation rpfc. Salem, Milkshake and perhaps Vince will be the class coming out of the backline next year, perhaps Jetta as well because of his reliability. Hurley would be handy. TMac will never be 'class', as effective as his marking and spoiling can be. Definitely lack back 6 class. We've focussed on getting tough mids that attack the contest inside (Viney, Vince, Jones, Bugg, Oliver, Brayshaw, Vanders, etc) and now lack class on the outside that can run and spread. This was exposed against both Essendon and St K. Will Stretch, Hunt, ANB, Melksham and MJones be those players we need for run and spread long term? Doubt it. I supect at season's end this will be a focus at trade/draft time. Are Prestia, Heppell and/or Cogniglio in our sights? We also deperately need to re-sign Hogan in the next 18 mths. The Weid will get games next year.
  5. Imagine how f'ed we'd be if we lost both bookends at the end of the year.
  6. Sorry mate but that's just plain bs. And the rest is filled with delicious irony.
  7. Saty I take it you are ok with baiting that includes calling a female poster fat ("Are you one meter wide?"), lazy, disorganised and slow? The 'Get To Etihad' thread includes all of these gems. Baiting = trolling.
  8. The only pressure Frost applied is to the backs of opponents when he clumsily fell on them stumbling to the contest
  9. Apologies if this has been mentioned, but did Weid play? Was he injured or rested?
  10. I will assume that wasn't aimed at me as I didn't pot him where you quoted me.
  11. Dunstall often kicked a big bag against us, though we were not alone there. Remember the merger match? Won the game for them and kicked his 100th for the year at the same time.
  12. 1. Prestia 2. Hurley In that order. Midfield is still our priority. If we had more A grade mids in our team, guys like TMac would not have been under so much pressure. Hard to stop goals if the ball is coming into our defence "at a million miles an hour", as Roos said. The game is still won in the middle. Don't get me wrong, would like to see Hurley at MFC, but not above mids. I'd even go for two of Prestia, Heppell and/or Cogniglio (for example, or similar) over Hurley.
  13. I've seen haymakers thrown that went further than that throw in. They would've been too embarrassed to bring it back after a goal. And that ump who paid the half volley mark to Roo should take up the free test offer by OPSM.
  14. Any more news on Gus? Any injuries of note? Cheers.
  15. As many have said, that's good for you if in fact you walked from the footbridge to your level 3 seat in 12 mins. The largely vocal majority, several hundred in my queue alone, were being delayed unnecessarily outside the stadium. You can't seem to grasp the fact that many were delayed and it was not of their doing. In the process you've taken numerous cheap shots, called posters fat, lazy, disorganised and slow (have I missed any?). Thankfully your manners are not in the DNA of most Dee's supporters. Had enough for the moment. Agree to disagree.
  16. Absolutely spot on Maple. Touché. Pulling the old "it's not me, it's you" line is weak but not unexpected.
  17. Nice touch. VISA now charges less than 1% processing fee. If the ticketing company charge 1.95% then that's a nice little skim for them. If you have worked in the industry, then the origin of your attitude is self evident. If you got to your seat on level 3 from the footbridge in 12 mins you must've been running. The rest of us on this thread had to wait for far to long. I have a membership and waited approx 30 mins to get a bar code scanned, and I was there with plenty of time (or what should have been) to spare. She has a membership! Read before posting.
  18. Stop making [censored] up. Many queues were well over half an hour to get in with membership cards and/or pre purchased tickets. There's no excuse for poorly staffed gates and ticket booths. Some gates only had half the entry points open. Card processing fees are now less than 1%, yet ticketing companies charge far more. Took me and those around me about 30 mins to get out over footbridge to Spencer St after game. Crap venue, crap service.
  19. Thanks for all the updates gents. Really bad luck for Gus. Had a rough year so far.
