Random Task

I'm in the minority that want the bombers to win evidently. Give me them low picks and watch the bombers get knocked out in the first elimination final and build false hope.

Purely outcome based. If Rohan was in a dees jumper (puke) he would be rubbed out for a month for lack of duty of care as "a reasonable player could foresee that his actions were inherently dangerous and would result in injury." System is cooked.

I'd almost be tempted to move Smith back to take Hibberds role and have Brown, JvR as our talls with Fritsch as our 3rd. Hibberd, while playing some good footy this year, looks just about done and can't get through more than a couple games without needing a spell. Not sure we can rely on him come September.

I wouldn't mind promoting Laurie to be honest. He disposes of it better than most on our list and nearly had 3 goals with his 20 odd disposals on the half forward line. I'd bring him in for Chandler who hasn't provided much for the past month or so. Turner had a great game but not sure there's a spot for him unless they move Petty forward, but I'd be putting Brown in who looked the best he's been in a long time.

And the poor umpiring continues with Bowey penalised with a "push in the back" which clearly wasn't and in fact should have been rewarded for holding the ball.

Verrall is an impressive size for a teenager. Brown, Schache, Woewodin, Laurie and Tominson all playing well among others

My ideal ins/outs (ie probably won't happen) In: Oliver, Bowey, Tomlinson Out: Jordon, Spargo, Chandler Tomlinson back, Petty forward. If Brown is fit and in good VFL form then him forward, Petty back and Tomlinson stays out. Bowey to half back and Rivers to spend more time in the midfield. This part is probably harsh but I would make Smith sub. Think he offers so much versatility that he can be subbed on for just about anyone. He can slot down back if a defender goes down or likewise forward. If its a mid that goes down then he can release someone from those areas to play more midfield minutes. I was really hoping Laurie kicked on this year, he is the ideal replacement for ANB with superior skills and decision making. Not sure he has the defensive running numbers though.

Channel 7 not showing Melbourne presser. Disrespectful much?

Not sure who goes in and out as we never make a lot of changes. I'd look to bring Oliver and Bowey in. Would like a proper key forward in as well, Brown being the most likely candidate but not sure how likely that would be. Jordon, Spargo and Chandler all in danger of being dropped while Hibberd may need further resting and Petty looks underdone. Will probably end up being Oliver in, Jordon out.

This, Geelong showed the way with territory gain when the ball was slippery. Lost count of how many cute handballs to teammates already underpressure that resulted in a turnover or ballup.

Whatever we do, can we actually have a tactical sub that can impact the game with some power. Harmes (who I'm not a massive fan of) would've been a better choice tonight given the conditions.

6. Viney 5. Lever 4. Rivers 3. Petracca (under a heavy tag) 2. Salem 1. Hunter

Just keeping Geelong above freo. Tactics.

I could complain about the 50 not given to Sparrow but we have played trash all night and don't deserve to win.

Game over

Wow anb...

Was dumb to take him to ground like that

Looking sleepy at the start of the last

Chandler having a mare.

Spargo warming up. Grundy maybe out with injury? Been off for 12min

ROOOOOOOOOOO

Rivers just beat 3 cats.

If there are any demonlanders at the ground, we can here you there and you're doing a fantastic job. One small favour to ask. Can you please boo and heckle that [censored] [censored] of a dog player in Stewart everytime he is near the ball. You may not have seen it live but he pushed viney to the ground as he was cradling his shoulder, for all he knew he could've had a dislocation or fractured collar bone. Bloke is a dog.

How was that not front on contact for Stewart shoving Smith over the line?

Too cute with some of these handballs in the wet under pressure
