Jaded No More

Mihocek is nothing like Walker! I am not saying Rivers will play on him, I’m just saying the height difference isn’t that big and he isn’t a “tall”, just like Fritsch isn’t a tall. Mihocek averages 1.2 contested marks a game. He is a leading forward not a tall marking forward. He needs someone who can go with him on the lead rather than in the air. Hibbo could certainly play on him. And hey if Rivers goes to him he’d need to be accountable the other way. Much like if Fritsch plays on Moore.

There is one thing nobody has mentioned, which is that Gawn could well play behind the ball. We haven’t seen this in a while but we know how good it can be…

If Howe plays forward I would send Smith back.

Mihocek is only 192cm. Both Rivers or Hibbo could play on him. He is much more a leading forward than a contested marking forward

Yeah and McStay. So who is the third tall? May will take the resting ruck and I say Lever will take McStay

Yeah so Cox and McStay… and?

Smith could play back with McDonald in. Who is the Pies third tall btw?

Hibbo and Smith both in starting 22 Laurie is my guess for sub

What do you make of the Noble omission?

Have done precisely no work today. Tomorrow is an office day for me. It's gonna be brutally long.

Come back tomorrow, it will get worse.

Yes and yes We are not in a rebuild phase. We are in a flag winning phase. Right age group.

Was it the sausage talk?

The only poster in this thread worth listening to I wonder where @Chook in Perth is these days. Always has good mail.

Spargo is a bad sub. No versatility and he’s a low possession player at the best of times. My guess is Hibbo will be sub if he isn’t in the team. Or Laurie again.

Is it even a final if I haven’t had 10 mental breakdowns?!

Who else feels like throwing up?

What did his partner do, other than carry the child for 9 months then ruin her body to get it out? Pffft Joel is clearly the hero here for turning up to the birth, and then playing footy.

Congratulations to Joel and his partner. What great news and I’ll even excuse him missing training!

Uni by correspondence from jail? I'm all in on the stereotype. Hope you all have your cheese platters ready for tomorrow!

A Collingwood supporting one? Must be really struggling for business. Not many teeth amongst his target audience.

Tmac staring down a possible second premiership medal. At his age and with the state of his body, he would be silly not to relish this chance and leave nothing out there. He has absolutely nobody pushing for his role either, unless Ben Brown can get a knee replacement done in a week. So no fear of messing up and losing his spot.

Are you trying to kill me?

Gees what a good report. I've never been less confident of kicking a winning score!

Could be a sniffle, a family emergency, food poisoning. I believe his partner is pregnant, maybe she's in labour? Am I worried? No. I am not worried. I never worry
