PJ got Roos from a similar situation.

I was at Waverley sitting next to Brent Croswell (injured) who went down to hear Barassi's 3/4 time spray. On return, he reported the great man's inspirational speech was "don't get done by 100 points".

Fritsch should be dropped - into the goal square where he belongs. He's never been a chase and tackle player so playing him high HF is expecting a miracle conversion. Playing out of the square he will kick goals.

I think you can get Kayo Standard (1 screen) FOR $25

Thought I might join the chat. McAdam is highly skilled, with evasive tricks and a good footy IQ. Marks as if he were taller, like Fritta. He's done the work and I look forward to his first game, where he kicks 3 and dishes off a couple. Have prescribed vitamins to avoid further injury / illness and a small dose off apotropaic magic to ward of negative DL comments. He'll be fine.

A bloke called John Nicholls went OK at 189. Strength, positioning and mongrel, (lots of), made up for lack of height.

Max joked once that Russian wouldn't let him win a tap for the first 6 years.

Too short for a back-up ruck? Nah. John Nicholls was 189cm but won out through strength, jostling, positioning and the occasional mongrel act. Different era? Sure, but those tactics still work to negate a superior ruck.

No. I thought you made a balanced comment, which is why I quoted it. The "this one" was my off topic post. Apologies for any unintended angst.

I reckon there's a PHD waiting for someone to research how far into a social media thread before there is an ad hominem, snark or off topic post (like this one). Sorta like Godwin's law. Plenty of examples here to start.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

FREE TICKET. I still have no idea how this happens but, in addition to my normal reserved seats memberships, I have a spare general admission ticket. First DLander to DM me is welcome to it. I suspect something to do with my Kayo membership.

And I have no idea how I did!! After my annual tussle with Ticketek and the Melbourne app it just appeared.

Oh, look at that. As a byproduct of renewing Kayo through the club, I seem to have received a GA ticket in addition to our normal memberships. Clearly the old bloke had no idea what he was doing. DM me if you can use a Gen Admission tkt. for Sunday. I suspect this will recur for all home games.
