BAMF

Would look who else we could get. Sidebottom?

Beat me to it Nasher. I loved going there as a kid but it hasnt been any redevelopment in years.

North Hobart isnt a full sized ground. The 50m line is actually 40m and nearly overlaps the centre square. Melbourne played Collingwood there in a preseason game in 01 or 02 and Mick Malthouse complained re: size of ground. There is a very proud Lawn Bowl club right behind the ground that would need to make way for major changes to take place but the Lawn Bowl club has a huge history and wont be going anywhere.

Yep. It's possible to feel for the North supporters (as we have been there before) and also want to smash their team by 100 points. To be fair to them, they have played competitive for periods of games this year. They just cant sustain it for a whole match. Will be happy to just get the win, but a thrashing would be great.

I live in Hobart and agree 100%. I hate the ground. It's a nice place to watch the cricket but terrible for football. I know that sounds odd, but there are a tonne of reasons. Having lived in Melbourne for a number of years and a frequent visitor to the MCG, i'm staggered how bad the Hobart stadium is. You would think that everyone involved with the stadium admin or day to day operations had never even been to the MCG once. It's why some of us get upset when the Melbourne based supporters dont bother going to the Marvel games. I was looking forward to seeing the team play with my family but will likely come up to Melbourne and be very happy to visit Marvel. It works out great for the dees as North play in Hobart well.

Put $100 on. Made $2100. They know that the average punter will give it back to them within a month.

Sportsbet just paid out on the dees winning the premiership. I got $100 on when they were paying $21. Just made the weekend so much better

7 goals was a great return, but lets be honest, Box Hill were listless. Still... i think Brown and Weid are part of our best 22 and its a big call to keep Mitch Brown in the team when both are looking good enough to play.

Harmes should be back soon. Maybe this is where Brayshaw could step up further? Now he is on the outside he does seem a bit like a mummys boy. Some tatts could really improve his image. Nothing soft either... it would need to be an oldschool tattoo. Really think it should be a demon to show how committed he is to the team. Combine it with some 90s style tribal stuff.

Correct. Our first pick is in the second round and is linked to Brisbane. We traded our own away.

We were. But so were others. Geelong were set to take him at pick 19 but Port pipped them with pick 18. Our next pick was 32 (Rivers). We were way off.

I hate to say this... (because i have bagged others on here for the same attitude at times for not enjoying the wins...) We really havent beaten anyone good yet. Freo are ok. StKilda are a rabble at the moment. GWS lost a heap of players to injury but are a decent team. Geelong are playing far below their best so far this year (hopefully it continues for another decade). Hawks are an average team. What i will say is that we look like a team who will play finals. But can we challenge the top 4 teams? This week will be a true test to see how we are travelling. Looking forward to it!

I watched the replay on kayo today. Post match commentary from Dermott Brerenton has him absolutely giving it to the umpires for that decision and also the Gawn v McEvoy decision not too long after. I've never heard him give it to the umpires so badly before.

Ahh ok.. i listened to the interview from the current player who said it wasnt. Maybe it was just due to the hub year.

I think most of us assumed it was already happening

Yeah that [censored] me off. Tim Watson at half time saying that "May's head was in the wrong spot" [censored] me off too (he was trying to indicate that it was an accident but his choice of words was [censored] [censored] poor).

Terrible for both teams in my opinion but I did feel like Geelong had some lucky frees that lead to goals which impacted the game more. That umpire with the booming deep voice was the worst. Very difficult game to umpire and the view they have is radically different to the one (or multiple) views we get.

What a game by Jake Lever

I doubt we would have been so happy to give up the pick if we had known it would be pick 3. Imagine the angst we would have had on here knowing we had a terrible season with no 1st round pick.... as much as I love the idea of Butters I think Jackson will be something special too.

Room for both. Moore is much more comparable to Lever with his roaming intercept style of play. He has been in great form.

Ah ok... is there media pumping us up? I havent seen it

Are we? I haven't see any comments from within the club to suggest we have got anywhere ahead of ourselves. What are you basing this on? And the answer to Caros question is; Not Yet.

Opps. Sorry. Was searching for the thread and found this one. My bad.

Looks like we have filled it. https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-news-2021-tayla-harris-instagram-gillon-mclachlan-polo-brother-hamish-tom-morris-column-man-on-the-mark/news-story/632ec657183d1e8e22b652cdbb20ee89 Melbourne has claimed a big scalp. The club has been on the lookout for a new GM of media for a month, ever since Ryan Larkin was lured to Essendon. Man on the Mark has been reliably informed Hawthorn’s Clare Pettyfor has won the race for the coveted position ahead of a string of highly credentialed candidates. She will leave the Hawks after six years. The Demons are expected to announce the appointment after Easter.

All from his set shot routine probably
