Demon Dynasty

Yes i agree with this. Hibbo's a big game player and an ideal foil for Elliot if he's up to speed.

While i wouldn't expect Macca or any KPFs to kick a bag in wet or greasy conditions i reckon we already have too many dour types that don't worry the scorer DB. Spargo & JJ are just two more that rarely do. Both also struggle with distance in the dry let alone poor conditions. We need to put a winning score on the board even in dodgy conditions. Macca will also most likely get Moore as well which may free up JVR a little.

'Should've' tried Doc! I hope KISS arent at his level at this stage of their careers. We need to remember that Meatloaf at his peak was actually a VG live performer and artist and one of the biggest selling rock artists of all time. And that's real sales where ppl would purchase a product in store not the latest streamer d'load click sales we see of late. As was KISS who i recall seeing live at Waverley park with some of 'the boys' and esky in toe many decades ago. The only trouble even then was they had a limited number of good or better songs on the play list. Like any band i guess, some were bog ordinary. But they smashed out the good to VG songs and put on a helluva performance. Have to say that was the most fun i've had at a rock concert. From putting on the face paint beforehand to the madness prior to their act. Someone about 20 meters behind where we were sitting threw a half to 3/4 full Big M my way which hit me square in the back. Great shot! Choco milk everywhere and mostly in me! I was so [censored] i picked up a half orange on the ground, turned to where i thought the offender was sitting, threw the orange at full tilt. Unfortunately some innocent patron decided right at that moment to go from a bending down position to a sitting position and copped the orange straight on their forehead! Splattered everywhere. Ouch! Crazy times!

Hope the sprinklers are on full

One of my favs even if somewhat inconsistent. Keep in mind he was a big part of our drought breaking premiership year until injured. In the statistical player ratings i keep he finished 14th that seaso, well inside the top 22. He then dropped 14 places in 2022 to finish the season in 28th. If only he was able to follow up his VG 21 season. Still think we needed to keep one of him or Bedford, or even both.

A number of silly 'withholds' by the club including JJ, Woe, Tomlinson or Disco. There's no way the Dogs are taking so many easy marks i50 with one of Disco or Tomo in. Madness ....complete and utter madness

It's a complete sham Kev. Unfortunately the AFL calls the shots and all the clubs are in on the circus act and gravy train so none will speak up. Everyone blames the AFL but the VFL and the AFL affiliate clubs are also to blame for allowing the AFL to ride roughshod without any protest etc

What's happened to Baldi guys?

The most down to earth President i can recall. Great smile & personality. Partial to a frothy or two as well! Long may she reign

Had to watch this with the volume down a little and further away from the tv than usual. Kept thinking Campbell was Harris and that Harris had somehow turned into Captain Marvel or Super girl. How was she able to be in so many places!

Watching the Pies play Rugby tonight i think

Disco no doubt the future 58 but we won vs the Pies with Tomo in last time and he played a VG game. Macca in for Joel who was pretty ordinary against the Swans for mine. Back to sub. Laurie comes in for Melk?

Splitting packs ....not really Taking plenty of contested marks in traffic or over the top of an opponent...absolutely

You mean the club of course

There was a procedure i recall reading about decades ago where a non invasive injection of a gell-like fluid is injected into the knee joint. Was said to be capable of providing significant relief in the short-term to sufferers of bone on bone knee issues in some cases. Believe the technical term is viscosupplementation. Wonder if we've looked into that at all?

Reckon you may be having a lend Kev! A HUGE NO to Fritta. As many have suggested already.... cotton wool job till he runs out on the night! Macca...similar to Fritta. If it wasn't a final, possibly. Regardless he is more than likely to get the call up to replace Smith who will probably return as the sub. A half for Hibbo would be a handy warm up if they're looking for him to come in to cover Elliot. If not then there's no reason why he couldn't play out the entire match. Agree with NS re Tomo. He's a long way ahead of Disco at this point. His prep not great though having not played for weeks now. Strange decision to bring in Disco vs the Swans but what's done is done.

If Grundy goes. While neither are genuine back ups we also have chop out options at present in JVR & to a lessor degree Macca (occasional forward duties only behind JVR) IF he continues on through 2024. Verral a maybe at some point in 24 but a long way off at present, understandable of course as he's a bare boned rookie still learning the basics.

If wishes were horses. After the last 3 to 4 weeks my gut feel was he would be delisted. Maybe he was signed 3 to 4 weeks ago!?? Like most defenders on the weekend he was rarely called upon as the ball spent a large majority of time in our forward half However, the few cameos i saw him involved in were spluttery with a number of fumbles, turnovers and / or very uncertain / slow decision making. Showed glimpses of reasonable form in the ruck and forward throughout the season but very underwhelming drop off over the last few weeks and looked disinterested against North.

& the orange boys

Glass window exiting stage left i believe

Not the Collins class i hope!

Slightly diff in a role sense but agree re getting the nod ahead of Harmes. Could've been given at least 2 to 3 matches while Clazz was injured and would also have eased the inside extractor burden off Viney a tad.

I have you down for this look most mornings Steve!!??

Bit of ye olde beef cake. Get your mind back in the game War!

Just in from Stanaway, coming out of his latest scan...
