I though the injury would be pissing Max off, rather than the other way around ... :-)

I like your analysis, and I count myself as a supreme optimist. But on this one, there is no discussion --- Hawks by as much as possible (and I thought I would never type those words!). Anyone but Collingwood!

Oh and if Disco's form remains this hot, does that mean we have a Disco Inferno? 😃

How about the media hype about Draper's game? The media make it sound like he single-handedly carried the Bombers, whereas from my perspective, his ruck dominance made no difference at all. The main reason they were ahead in the first quarter was their ability to get over the back of our defence, not Draper's influence. But I will of course understand if you are more worked up about the umpires' performance, particularly in the last few minutes.

Thanks!

I did think at the game that it was umpired like the venue was Perth ....

Whatever the reason, it is great to have you back!

They do? News to me! 😆

Thanks again for the podcast guys. I think we look a lot better with Kossie in the middle. Is that why we recruited McAdam? Will we see a time when Trac is forward and Kossie is in the middle permanently?

Good to know! 😁

Did we pass? 😁

We were sitting in level 2 behind the goals at the Punt Road end, so had a great view of it. That is a clear highlight I will remember for a long time. We thought Maxie's goal was going to be the highlight until that came along. Astonishingly quick thinking and a lesson in keeping going until the ball is actually out, not just likely to do so.

Or flatulance!

One of the wiser things I have heard Nathan Buckley say is that the indigenous players just see the game differently and play in a way that others don't seem to be able to. This is a great example of what he was talking about IMHO.

Because the head is sacrosanct, OD, unless it is Max in a ruck contest, in which case anything goes ...
