Return to Glory

Cripps should get weeks. If he doesn't then the comp isn't fair dinkum.

Bravery is my middle name. If it makes you feel any better Lazie, my daughter called me psycho last night as she could hear my madness from another room.

Ok, what I will say is lighten up. You go on this almighty spiel that (certainly to me) invited opinion but then ended it with a note of ‘no correspondence will be entered into’. Here’s a tip, don’t post if you don’t wish others to respond. I’m sorry that I reminded you (in jest) that this is a site where we exchange opinions. Clearly, you’re a sensitive soul. I’m also not going to demand that no one responds to this post, good, bad or indifferent. For what it’s worth, my take isn’t so much about the personnel on the field but that we lack the absolute dare of last year. We’re looking for that perfect play but lacking that natural instinct that took us to the top. All is not lost.

Good thing this isn't a forum

Absolutely spot on. No dare.

So many passages where we played without dare. Therein lies the difference. The number of times they rope-a-doped and streamed out from the back was embarrassing.

As already mentioned, they do Judd - Visy like deals but with wives and girlfriends. Prior to that, it was land deals with Costa.

I love when Brisvegas play the self appointed barometer, Rhys Mathieson.

Tigers look on. Must be Dimma's talk with his mother. Pam, is that her name?

Oh, you want logic? Sorry, I do vibes.

We lost yesterday after coming off a 5 day break. I'm a little more bullish then most as I think we can get a run on and still win it.

No thank you

Am I right in thinking this is a perfect result?

Absolutely DZ. I prefer to think this is the kick start needed.

Late to the party. How bad's the shoulder injury please?

Pleased that Essendon won. That umpiring was 100% garbage.

I'm pleased it did but prefer it was another dill

We do need to give him a crack imo

Gold Coast Suns should be ashamed of themselves. Big Richmond injuries, a must win game to stay in touch and they dish up this tripe. Good thing they re-appointed Fat Boy Slim instead of Clarkson.

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.
