Got a 1.2kg picanha and farofa, a 1964 padron and a fridge full of Heineken cans... Time for a good day lads and ladies let's kick em while they are down, that's what they done to us, they all did.

Excellent

Still no Gawny n Gus podcast (I'm at home with a bung back not much else to do) They normally record early in the week. I recall one episode a few months ago they spoke about a resigning and had to delay the release of the podcast (Benny Gibson even said "we'll have to delay this now") You might be on the money. A convenient "getting to know" video released a day or so ago too... ?

That's fair as well. In my opinion though he's close be clicking, of course I could be wrong. I can remember Hawkins being similarly getting game on potential at the beginning of his career and it just grew. Edit: Just checked those comparisons for same age, Hawkins in front in all categories, maybe I do have red and blue tinted glasses on ??‍♂️

He's so close, just smash anyone in your way, no matter what color jumper they are wearing, they'll learn

Rightly... Just

Hahaha. I've never met the guy but I'd he's anything like his cousin (which he certainly shares the same... Lethargicness(?)) Then he'd be a ripper bloke. Can't see it being otherwise.

We are family friends with Jonothan Browns uncle (He and his partner live in Wodonga actually Dazzle) and the story goes he had a Collingwood contract worth massive dollars in front of him with pen in hand but couldn't stop thinking about what his grandfather would say. Little bit of research shows his father played for Fitzroy (and also captained st pats on ballarat, stick to the green white and blue) but couldn't find much information on his grandfather, but I could have my wires crossed. Next time I talk to dad (which is where the family friend connection is) I'll ask. Edit: Spoke to Dad, said it's his cousin not uncle... But some relation. And said he had Eddie at one shoulder and Malthouse at the other with pen in hand. Quote goes "If you knew the dollar amount that was written on that contract I didn't sign you'd slap me, but I just couldn't get the picture of dad in a Fitzroy jumper out of my head" I seem to recall Collingwood very into Nick Reiwoldt as well so maybe around the same time?

Very much agree with this, especially coming out of defence. I think it's nearly impossible to avoid Lever and May back there the way everyone roles up, the ground line of defense is a zone defence slowing those two to switch loose behind the ball as needed. If I were Brisbane I'd be shutting down the distributor's. If the can keep the ball out of Salem, Rivers and even Melksham's hands and force Lever, Hibberd and Hunt to kick, especially under pressure, that's where we look vulnerable... IMHO

Wow there is so much pain in those words

Isn't QLD, especially south east QLD just retired Victorian's?

While I, and others by the sounds of things, don't necessarily agree I like you reasons for each replacement. The Weid v Brown debate is certainly a tough one

Melbourne Demons - Playing as one

I'd Langdon was to be out Baker is a walk up start for the winG, take it to the bank.

17 clubs trying to figure that one out. Best they've come up with is hope he has a quiet one ??‍♂️

Not unless he's also Josh Kelly's manager

Love the Indigenous jumpers each year, all clubs. The story's behind the artwork I find absolutely fascinating. I know little to nothing about aboriginal culture (which is a poor reflection on the education system in my opinion, but I don't want to turn this into a political argument) The ability for indigenous artists to not only tell a story through a painting but fully articulate that meaning perfectly to non Indigenous people's is amazing. With the utmost respect each year I see these jumpers and think "it just looks like dots and lines" and then you watch an explanation video and it's so obvious the meaning. I have no doubt that it is as clear as day the meaning to other Indigenous people's. Amazing stuff. I guess 30,000(?) Years plus will do that.

We have never finished on top? And never had a 100 goal full foward (probably unlikely now) That's insane from one of the oldest sporting clubs in the world really

I agree he's "defensive" wing position is one of our most important in the team. He's selfless attitude towards a team game represents and reflects the whole side in my opinion. Disposal, especially when not under pressure is frustrating though As for the tall forwards McDonald has cedtinally thrown a spanner in the works. I think the plan pre season was Brown and Weideman key posts witj Jackson and Gawn rotating but McDonald is on fire... Weideman and Brown now fighting for the same spot.

If they don't bring Weideman in now they may as well offer him up in the mid season draft

Especially in our own circles, no one wants to be that guy or girl carrying on about Premierships at the office (or pig farm) in May (although that saying has changed from April premiers to May premiers which is promising) but here it's a free for all isn't it???

2027 pick 4

Again, close thread.

Bloody wives always complaining... "Have a shave" "mow the lawns" "stop drinking Drambuie at 7am in the morning"
