Jaded No More

Invisible moonboots are the latest technology in recovery from goal poisoning.

Neither is Bowey’s or McVee’s… both are hard as nails. Jefferson is much lighter than him and I’ve seen him happily split packs at Casey.

At least Weideman can say that we had a dominant 2018 finals season.

He has the talent, it was why he was a top draft pick. He doesn't have the mongrel. To be a key position player, or any player really, you need to be physical and at least be ok with body contact. Not everyone is Viney or May, but you have to really be willing to put your body on the line to make it. Schache is very timid and I can't see it changing.

For sure, which is why Kosi needs to play deep. The Pies get a lot of drive from him at half back. If Kosi is playing out of the square, ala Charlie Cameron, it becomes a totally different proposition because you cannot take your eyes off of him for even one second when he's hovering around the goals. It worked well last week when Melksham came off and I hope to see it again next Thursday. I have a feeling we are going to pull a few new things in finals. Kosi will play more midfield and then go deep, and I think Gawn will float behind the ball more to help out the defenders, especially if Tmac comes in.

He will do it again and nothing will be done. First centre bounce he will try to go for Gawn's ribs. We just need to be prepared, because it will happen. Cox is a bog ordinary footballer who thinks he's a big tough guy, one of my most hated players in the AFL. Hope Viney lays a Viney tackle on him.

Naughton is one KPF who is out of contract next year. Not sure if he's a RFA or not tho.

Both BB and Tmac have a year left on their contract. Tmac will be around next year. I think BB will retire early.

This. Probably more likely than pick 109 in the draft.

Can’t play on him if Koz plays in the middle

I have to laugh that our list has been good enough to finish in the top 4 three years running, and win a flag, but it’s apparently not good enough to get more than one AA selection.

And Ken Hinkley is

I’m very happy to send you more 😊

I’m sure they’ll pay for and support their rehab regardless. Doesn’t mean they’ll be kept on the list.

If we make the grand final, I’m happy to hook people up with red and blue ribbons curtesy of my work. But we gotta make the grand final first. No jinxing around here!

Such a brilliant result. Well done to everyone who paid up! Now let’s win another flag and get to 80,000!

*cries in works 9-5*

Yeah but Viney has two small children, which is way harder than 5 dogs!

They’ll all get treated like my dog, who you know gets treated like a child, and they’ll forget all about fighting each other. They’ll also probably gain 10kg. I’ll sort them out! 😂

I’m happy to babysit his 5 dogs. He just needs to LIE DOWN!!! 😂

I would think Melksham, Hibbo and possibly Ben Brown will retire. That’s 3 already. Dunstan won’t get a new deal. JJ will leave. Harmes will also likely go. And Grundy is almost certain to be traded. We have one rookie upgrade in McVee. How do we only need 3 picks then?

I would say Melksham might get a coaching or development role if he’s keen. He is out of contract but I doubt we’d just dump him. I am also quite sure that Ben Brown will retire with a year left to run on his contract and we might convert that contract to a full time AFLW coaching role, as he’s already involved in coaching our women’s team.

The type the bank owns.

My professional suggestion is that all our key players spent the next 8 days lying down. Nothing could go wrong if they just stop moving so much trying to exist!

Please don't listen to the HS. I will put my house on those not being the changes.
