I think this is going to be a common theme all year. If Viney and TMac were available even harder, but I guess your always going to have injuries. Melksham and Tyson are certainties, I personally would like to see Bugg and Brayshaw but Hannan, Frost and Maynard would be stiff. On a side note, my wife is a house cleaner and cleans Melksham's parents house. I'll try and get some inside info ?

I normally like to start with which teams I think are certainties to play finals then the teams I think certainly won't, then fill in the middle. Every year this gets more and more difficult. My top 3 I think make it easily and are a step above everyone else and from 12 down aren't finals material. Geelong are the hardest to pin, Selwood Dangerfield and Abblet may be the best starting 3 midfielders of the modern era. (I'm 30 so hard to comment before 2000's). 1. Richmond 2. GWS 3. Sydney 4. Geelong 5. Melbourne 6. Adelaide 7. Essendon 8. Port Adelaide 9. Western Bulldogs 10. Fremantle 11. West Coast 12. Hawthorn 13. Collingwood 14. St Kilda 15. Briabane 16. Gold Coast 17. Carlton 18. North Melbourne

Raspberry Cruisers?

Agreed, a great article and some very humble words but just words, hopefully for Max he can look back win lose or draw and see he done his best. I am a 135kg keyboard warrior so I realise that it's a bit rich but it's still the truth.

Spinning? I read some ground breaking scientific paper a few days ago that the earth is flat after all these years

Couldn't agree more, mine was just Petracca highlights

Without question...

Wow PaulRB that's impressive, quick mafs

I started a tattoo thread a few years ago (before kids when I could afford them) but I was alone. Maybe it was Demonology? Anyway got "Every heart beats true" from shoulder to shoulder. Looks sweet. I actually done a fair bit of research to determine the correct syntax. I didn't know weather the line implied that every heart beat's true or if every heart beats true, as in just every heart beat of mine or everyone's heart beats true. Does anyone know...? I never found a straight answer

Hahaha that is fantastic

God damn that feels good, even if it is only pre season. I have 6 hours to pack trailer and do a dump run and blower vac ground yard. Ample time as long as the beer fridge stays closed until at least lunch time (which is no guarantee) Due to a promotion I have most weekend off now so it's gonna be on. Go Dee's!

Big Maxy "my favourite opposition ruckman and my least favourite team mate" classic

[censored] yeah I just rang the boss mad Monday is on like donkey kong

Jeremy Howe isn't elite compared to Joel Selwood, that is ridiculous. Howe is elite compared to other running defenders. I would wager that champion data having everything broken down into smaller categories or defensive back, loose man et cetera...

Agreed, but if he comes on do all 3 of him Hogan and TMac play foward? I wouldn't mind seeing Hogan roam up on a wing and float foward a bit like Watts' best games, imagine trying to match up on that? Levercutting off fowa d entries for fun, Hibberd and Hunt playing off their man with Hogan and Petracca delivering long 1-1 to TMac or Weid

No need to give pig farms a bad name And surprisingly there isn't that many flies to annoy you at a pig farm, I guess they have enough other things to annoy

This is all the proof we need that we have improved out of sight. There is only 1 player in the seniors that isn't currently on our list. You dont have to go back far to find "pick 6" on the half foward flank or "dream trade" starting on the wing.

The price for Kelly will be astronomical. I have a bet with my brother over who will finish higher in the Brownlow, I backed Oliver he took Kelly and he probably has me beat. Imagine the price we would put on Oliver...

Why bother chasing a (soon to be) All Australian defender when we already have one. Put Tom McDonald back to the backline and instead of going after Lever go and get Patton/Lobb. Jetta OMac Frost Hibberd TMac Hunt Brayshaw Jones Vince Petracca Hogan Melksham Garlett Patton/Lobb Watts Gawn Oliver Viney Lewis Hannan Salem Tyson Looks ok to me... We have a good trade history with GWS, only think is it won't come cheap. Have to be realistic can't offer Pederson for either of them. Weideman and a late first round pick?

With Patty out and Martin playing on the edge, is it worth a pineapple on Oliver? Champion Data has him as third favourite statistically and you are essentially gambling that Dusty will be rubbed out

I'll be teeing off at 9am them it's home for the game then off to a poker tournament. Wife is worried about my alcohol consumption, don't know why only have to keep count till half time, after that I won't remember a thing, satdys for the boys. Also one final thing GO DEES

Talk about over umpires. Let the boys get at it. Free kicks and 50's left right and centre just because it's starting to get heated? McGuire is right pay what's there otherwise shut up. Can't wait to be there with 80000+ others playing in a tight encounter. Money can't buy. I'm so jealous of Hawthorn and Geelong fans you wouldn't miss one of you barracked for either. Wonder who our nemesis will be?

Never thought I'd see these two words in the same sentence

Go easy, my blow up doll has No.13 draped on it
