Probably but this thread is mostly devoid of bickering between posters and opinions are genuine and diverse. And if you do not read opinions different to what you hold, all one is doing is pissing in your own pocket, not learning anything. So are there any differing views. not based on the costs or funding cos it will happen. interested In all views. Apart from is it financially feasible.

How did this thread get pushed back so far ?? Your opinions please. Given that Tassie will field a side in what say 4 years, and possibly a Darwin side later to make up the 20. That's going to diminish the ability of the average footballing side. Plus they , one or both, will get concessions on the number of and age of players. What strategy as a club would help us navigate the about 10 years of recruiting restrictions. Given that Max, May, Brodie, Hibbo, TMac, Melksham, and BBB and others will all have retired, possibly before any restrictions come into force, as well Oliver, Brayshaw and Tracca will be near an end of career. Glad I do not have to work out the recruiting.

Bummer. Pies won

First to 100 usually wins. I think we might be OK

30 points to 9 looking better

Was not Caufield the bears with that horrible spot under the stand in Prices Park ?

Eight scoring shots to 4 come on Bears

Every game is important, every game difficult if not switched on. Last night game and example of how tight the comp can be. is top up for grabs ? just get the points. Go Dees

Thanks Kev M Love your work

You must be a bit younger than I am, its as old as Sticking out like dogs balls, that created a lot of amusement in Canada 45 years ago !

Just my two bobs worth, I think May is struggling with an injury or confidence. If Petty goes back then the defense grouping is very similar to when May had an easier time. So that leaves a hole up forward, BBB kicked 4 points in Casey, but if he had kicked straight, we would not hesitate. Yes I know If your Auntie had nuts she would be your uncle. But this means Norths best goes onto BBB and gives Rooey the lesser player, and maybe Fritta gets it easier. And get Kossy to sign and he plays without any concerns for the next 5 years. Go Dees

Cash it in. If I were you hope they bash each other as hard as they can,

Watching this. Does not matter who is kicking for goal, all I can think. Is miss you bastaard!

JVR is looking good, but at this time he needs someone else to take the heat from himself. BBB or Tmac, He is not a Ruck to play all over. Almost knocked the ball out or Riewoldts hands after a mark last night, in the 3rd Q. Silly act.. Flew too often and upset our other players last week, and did little this week until Balta was moved (If I am correct) so he had a less physical opponent, But that last quarter, he imposed himself on the result, and the Tigers gave up, (almost). And his play and jumping for the ball is so reminiscent of Schwartz in his (the Ox) first 10 or so games, Rooey could be absolutely anything. A great get for the DEmons. We are comparing him after only 3 (?) games, probably a bit early.

The season is alive with all possibilities, but much better to win

So Saturday night and on the live ladder we are 9th its not MFCSS its plain fact, an even comp we need to win and win well Go Dees

It be is going to be interesting to see who of the emergencies or extended bench makes the cut. one of Bowey, Jordon Sparrow , or Hibberd will miss. Don’t think Grundy will miss. Laurie , Turner and Dunstan I think will miss

Forgetting my postcodes but the cheer squad was not really big in early 1970 i do remember john h, Stan o, Don r, and G t, they were my main friends Mal t of course Need to ask rosemary for other names. Far too long ago .

And if you live in Elwood . Then I used to go home with you on the train. I think

First I heard about an invite to training for long term members was just now. And I have 25 plus, Maybe it was selective !

All it means is this week, indeed every week. It’s important to turn up and win the four points. Last week no one turned up, missing a tall up front and another down back was not an ideal start. Selection of emergencies not done well, imho.

And if we lose and Adelaide, Brisbane or Port Adelaide, any or all could win, we could go to 9th . If Geelong and Freo win by enough and we lose badly, We could be sitting 11th. percentage of the others too poor. It is a very even ladder, we just need to win. someone needs to check my reasoning Rather have AC/DC highway to Hell and win with vigor than having the other group that sang Sorry Easybeats thats what the other clubs will think if we lose this week,

That sums up my opinion of AB

Agree that was really a turning point. We had played well in the second up to that point, A couple of other very puzzling decisions as well, but we were not really interested at all in the third. Terrible quarter of football

Yes I agree, this is close, we got the result we deserved
