Return to Glory

Damn you ET. Very funny. And possibly very true.

Nah, back in a top end draft pick to kick it into the 50 in a manner that's different to a mongrel punt.

Pull yourself together Beetle. Simple.

He can't. I'm worried to the extent that I wonder as to his value going forward. Maybe a bit alarmist. Carry on as normal. Rework our posts from this year. Couple of name changes depending on whether Oscar and ANB are with us.

Dimmy, I think you expressed it better than me. It's turgid footy and it doesn't benefit his fellow midfielders at all, let alone players up the ground. The closest player to him in terms of style is maybe Luke Parker but Parker works to a plan. I'll be phucked if I know what JV's plan is. And when he does get it he now kicks it up in the air sideways.

Toby Bedford for ANB Oscar McDonald with a witches hat

He's not alone in this but he's been exposed of late for mine.

I actually think Viney has been playing like this for a while. He developed a reputation as a tough-as-nails player but that doesn't mean he has to dive into packs without thinking through what he wants to do.

The usual suspects were on display but Viney plays a bash/crash brand of footy that's increasingly devoid of thought.

Frost speeding out of the backline and handballing to a Saints player was a ripper! But it probably wouldn't make his top 5 brain fades of 2019. Gotta laugh.

You're right. Perhaps overqualified.

Our I reckon they were the three I identified as well Dazzle. McDonald how no reason to be wearing a Melbourne jumper. The Wagners are pointless in terms of us going forward and ANB is seemingly in reverse.

I really hope we were 'conserving our energy'. It's a bigger worry if we weren't.

Brayshaw is an absolute worry.

And without Dean Margetts! Fair effort that.

Would love LT to be honest.

Let's not forget Hodge's block on a player that the umpire paid Norf's way. Then he suddenly changed his mind ...resulting in loose men down the ground and a goal.

You're kidding right?

Big statement but close to the worst umpiring of the year Bris v North

Norf are being crucified by the umps here. I know the commentators are raving on about ill discipline but no question they're being stitched up

The important thing with Nathan Jones, for mine, is that the club don't treat him in the manner which we treated another great servant, James McDonald. I always felt that set the club back. Regardless of what decision is made re next year, he simply should not be lost to the club but embraced as one of our greatest ever clubmen.

It's for this reason that i suspect Gold Coast may take him.

My kneejerk reaction is that Brayshaw is tradeable and ANB certainly is. FFS play Bedford and see what he can do and Petty had a break out game.

Not sure i agree there Jaded.

We'll win this. Has that feel to it. (ready to be bombarded)
