Also interesting that Goodwin pumped up Brayshaws tyres by saying (paraphrasing) it was going to be good to have a ‘fit’ Gus back and contributing to the team. By memory around aflx time... I just think Goodwin wants Maynard to severely maim a few Geelong players this weekend.

I see this as a sign of significant progress. No longer do we select a ‘best 22’ in general... we select a best 22 for the opposition on the weekend. It’s a clear indicator of the depth now within the list and a constant reminder to players that you’re not an automatic inclusion. The competitive nature of even getting a game is now becoming very evident to our list. This, as supporters, is what we’ve been waiting a long while for. Ego’s are out the door. Team first.

Thread bad. Bad thread. worst acting ever.

Roaming Brian is easily the most cringeworthy addition to post game commentary in the entire fuggin universe!

Obvious? What? Pedersen is in his twilight years. Of course the coaching staff are going to train and trial Weideman as a second ruck. I can tell you now he won’t be a dominant and permanent forward. Can he be an improvement on King and Flipper with some decent forward craft as well as being tall enough to give a ruck chop-out? Absolutely. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s moved on at the end of this year.

Tim Smith.

Carlton will have their arse handed to them tonight. Much like the Cats on Sunday.

I tend to agree with you. Wankers.

I could believe that if the original timeline was adhered to and Viney was ready for round 1 but that’s not the case. Match fitness? Never bought that one either. I think it’s abundantly clear now that the loading of his foot in this final period (the match-fitness phase) has not had the desired result and further aggravated these other areas.

Wish I could be as confident as you mate but there’s something very fishy about this. Think it’s all gonna turn to custard.

Who fuggin cares. Just bounce the ball. I’m not worried about either of those blokes in relation to us being a competitive and worthy side of making finals. All this hype? We’re in the ballpark guys.

It’s actually Slobbo’s verdict that he doesn’t fully trust us. Why they’d bother to put his opinion below some decent research and analysis from King is beyond me. King is very confident we’ll play September footy.

Shirt sleeve?

Luxury Nissans. Hopefully better than Opel.

Faaarrk.

I believe it’s supppsed to simulate the noisy environments of game day venues. The players ability to effectively communicate with each other.

Beavis far left, Butthead far right.

Legend.

CAnt get past the paywall. Would appreciate a pm copy and paste if someone’s up to it. Ta

I hope we go hard in the off season for that Hannah Mounsey chick.

This top two teams playing off is going to fail miserably with 10 or more teams.

That was my immediate thought also. Have the AFL shared their 'updated' versions with the 16 clubs? It's sounds ludicrous.

He’s getting a reputation as a sensationalist. I’m surprised he hasn’t got North Melbourne and Brisbane in his top 4.

No.

Misson injury report video up on the club site/app. Essentially, after Viney tipping Tmac to be good for round 1, we only have Vanders, McKenna and Viney as the only not available players. That’s bloody good.
