How would you like Goody to speak at his presser after a big loss..?

Yep, a Brayshaw would have been handy today. Any word on how Guy is travelling, post-football?

I think Goody rightly assessed that we could ill afford to be without Clarry (while he did a mini-preseason), as in we’d be further off finals without Clarry for part of the season. And highly likely to miss finals. Due also to our other outs (Bradshaw, Smith) and poor performance of the mature recruits (Billings, McAdam, Hunter) and the resulting need to blood the kids. This again required Clarry’s midfield power, experience and stability be there every week.

Would prefer Tomlinson to Fullerton as another option to hassle, run with an harass Jackson/Darcy. Most likely again teaming with Petty and JVR. Otherwise Laurie to cover Woey as sub, and no change. Go Demons!

Its not controversial, it's deeply disrespectful, to both Clarry and the MFC. [censored] em.

Curious: Is there any chance Trac could be back in 6-7 weeks, I.e. primed for first final (assuming we make it)? is that what “indefinite”, rather than “season”, means?

Fullerton has a modest physical presence at the moment. Lacks bulk and importantly, lacks agro. Such that he’d not be a better option than who we played in ruck last night.

Does Baby Yze have Obst’s number?

Fullerton not doing a lot in ruck.

Was responding to Maldon’s comment about our surging the ball forward through traffic with a wave of runners till we get it out the back, being very Richmond in their recent heyday. And speculating that our midfield coach, former Tigers assistant coach, McQualter, was teaching/training that method. Love it when it works. Like end to end bang-bang-bang. Great footy.

I think the McQualter influence re Tigers style. Thought the same.
