Return to Glory

Pies won't beat Adelaide over there. They've ridden their luck

Let's just hope he's not doing a Ben Dover on us

Some bloody tough choices to be made and I don't envy the selectors. However, broadly speaking we are lacking the dynamism of last year. For that reason alone, I wouldn't entertain The Weed as there's a confidence sapping vibe about him (it's all about the vibe!!). JVR on the other hand - a bit of a strut that's badly needed. No dropping of the head and he thinks he's pretty good. Bring it on.

Are we brave enough to play JVR if he has a blinder in the 2's? Felt like a very static forward line tonight.

Oh well

Don't forget that Elizabeth and Norlane are sister towns. Brace yourself for next week.

No. I feel (for different reasons) that he's the fall guy for an inept club much the same as the late Dean Bailey. Hiding to nothing stuff. For starters, their recruiting has been atrocious

It looks like they have just had the bye renamed Norf

Almost feel sorry for North. Could get 186 ugly.

It's certainly not Free Kick Doggies tonight

No he won't. He won't be better than Petracca and Oliver for starters. I'm not saying there's no upside.

Granted there's no yellow peril there but not everywhere can be a Casey Fields

Wandered to the MCG with teenage daughter to watch Pies v GWS. One of the worst games I've seen for a while. GWS are a spiritless mess.

It's not over, but just a little excerpt from Geelong Big Footy: 'This game is enough evidence again that we aren’t getting close to the flag. Pressure goes up and the same players just s**t the bed again and again without fail. It’s in the clubs DNA, poo your pants footy.' A beautiful thing.

For Geelong it would be scarring to lose this with so much in their favour. Let's hope (even though I tipped them)

Mate, it's a footy forum. And I genuinely haven't noticed that steady stream of vitriol you speak of.

It’s like they’ve got two blokes off the street to umpire this one. The decisions are mind boggling.

I suspect I was loading throughout every sporting endeavour

Anthony Banik

I'm in two minds here. There's a few players that I'm ready to have a pot at, including my fave ANB. But this is a tired team. We'll beat Brisbane after the bye.

Lost at the selection table

It's been relentless

It's two weeks. 6 or 8? Give me a spell.

Has Melk got a voodoo doll with him?

Gold. Absolute gold. Crywoldt and co off their chops
