BAMF

Yep. He has a habit of coming back far too underdone. I wonder if he convinces the coaching staff that he is ready when he really isnt. His come back in 2018 finals was legendary though...

Possibly the best verbal barb i've heard. In fact, i'm upset that you have said it as it's so good that it will no doubt go viral and now opposition players will actually say it to him. It's likely that he will drop his bundle and now we wont win a final. It might possibly go so far that he will have to retire at the end of the year. Thanks for ruining the season Kev. Good one.

I was listening to ABC radio pre-game. They listed the midfields and said GWS have a midfield on paper but will need to bring it to match us. I instantly thought that 'WE' would need to bring it against theirs and it was funny how they didnt mention this. It seems being top of the table gives you this over inflated respect. Any decent supporter would have been worried about today after our last few games.

I couldn't attend (Interstate member). There seemed to be plenty of noise from the crowd while watching on tv.

Spargo and Pickett need a tall forward to rove off. The Ben Brown non selection was a mistake in hindsight.

You wont make that mistake again.

I am the complete opposite. Love the GWS song. The goldcoast song is by far the worst with the dockers a close second

And yet... we do! Our best games have come against the top 4 challengers. We have been really unconvincing agaisnt the rest yet keep winning ugly. This was a really ugly game. I usually look forward to the replay, but i wont be watching this one again. I doubt i will watch the highlights more than once.

Really frustrating. We should have buried them by now.

I was thinking during the week that he looks like he has put on a few kgs since we last saw him. He doesn't look like himself at all.

Clearly a goal.

Game day threads are always a head scratcher. Oliver has continued what he started last week at half time. Take the game on, dont be afraid to take risks to generate run. When it doesnt work it looks terrible as he gets caught. But at least he is taking the game on the way the coach wants. I understand that some supporters will attack him for it when it doesnt come off and claim him saviour when it does.

Close. Every four years you need to use at least 2. We used 2 last year so therefore don't need to use on until 2024. https://www.afl.com.au/news/202143/future-trading-given-goahead-but-with-restrictions - Clubs can trade one year in the future only. - Clubs must make at least two first-round selections in each four-year period. If they don't, they will face restrictions from trading any further first-round draft picks. - If a club trades a future first-round selection, it may not trade any other future selection from that same draft. But if a club keeps its future first-round selection, it can trade any of its future selections from other rounds.

It's round 15. Time to stop drinking the bathwater.

Well... they have terribly handled their salary cap and jettisoned good players in their prime and apparently may need to do so again. They have an old playing list with most of their better players 27 years old with a heap of others over 30. Their coach just quit. The board are infighting with a large spill on the cards. He is 24 and probably doesn't want to play his prime in a rebuilding side.

I seriously rate Maynard. Collingwood would as well. He wont be cheap. Weid and Brisbane's second rounder would be a steal in my opinion.

The rules will only apply to NGA academy picks. Its a complicated issue. The northern state academys have been in place for ages now and the clubs pump considerable amount of cash into them. This was rightly deemed unfair to the other clubs and therefore the NGA zones were setup to make it fairer. The only thing is that the clubs didnt actually pump money into the zones. Therefore, the Bulldogs picked up the best kid in the draft in JUH just because he happened to live in their zone and have at least one parent who wasn't born in Aus.

If a rival club bid on him with a pick within the top 20 then they will get him. We will have no option to match the bid. If a bid comes between 20-40 then the normal rules apply and we can use points to match (not sure if the discount is still applied). https://www.afl.com.au/news/583170/early-season-blitz-puts-ruckman-on-demons-nga-radar

Great steak knives.

And partly some posters got upset about different opinions.

Since its the bye round I thought some might want to watch the game in question that seems to have elevated Mac into the first round. Mac rucks in the last quarter (starts at 1:52:00) and features heavily due to the number of goals Geelong kick resulting in centre bounces. He is up against Darcy Fort who is 27 years old, 204cm and 99kg.

Anyone watch the pies v crows game last week? The way the pies played last week should have told us they were coming for us. Exactly the same. Pressure, win the contest, quick hands or short kick and then a flat kick into a forward. I thought the pies were great. Really disappointing that we didnt see it coming and have the boys fired up to respond early.

Really pathetic effort today. 4 handballs. 1 tackle. That's it.

Collingwood has watched the Adelaide game and perfected the weaknesses exposed. That combined with us being flat have resulted in this. It will be interesting to see what the coaching staff do from here.
