Hannah was massive in last quarter last week, seems to have a knack of boning up when needed. I thought VDB was as well. Perhaps thrown on the ball for small patches to have max impact physically?

Absolute cracker of a day up here on the border. Gonna do a few jobs round the house and enjoy the sunshine. Then it's footy time, light the fire and drink some beers. Don't need to do anything spectacular today, everyone plays their role we will walk away with the W (ferda) We are a 4 goal better side than Hawthorn, get the 4 points and move on.

I thought you could see in the first quarter last week before TMac got injured you could see him playing a high CHF role with the weed deeper, probably [censored] him better.

This is staggering, has anyone watched the replay and seen if they done anything but out to the left had flank to Gawn? Didn't even see the old barrel down the middle (which seems to be our only other option) Seems strange to not mix it up at all.

My wife had to leave the room I swore and yelled so hard, nearly got divorced. Pathetic. Demand a pleae explain

Got some pork fillet marinating in a Chinese BBQ brine, some home made Italian venison sausages, a couple of car from porterhouse steaks all going on the smoker and a bottle of Hently farm Shiraz* The final piece of the puzzle is a pineapple of the sun's paying $2.40 as an insurance policy... *I know that description is a bit to stereotypical for some but I can assure you I am a hairy tattooed pig farmer who has never been to the snow.

It's an actual talent to take Oliver, Petracca and Brayshaw combined with Gawn and be useless. On paper that is the most talented starting midfield in the league, in practice on the other hand ?

None of those players done it until they hit their "peak" Martin specifically was useless and got a game on potential for 6 or so years (admittedly his ceiling was ridiculous) I have this on going joke with a friend who is a bulldog supporter that Bontempelli isn't actually good, he is a product of the media. Footy wire confirms this as he has him covered in nearly every stat. But interestingly if you compare a 22 year old Oliver to any of days superstars he has them covered by the length of the straight. If he can continue his upward trend we will have a multiple brownlow medalist on our hands, such are his numbers.

Already lost the game at selection

Would you care to elaborate on this a little or was it just an off the cuff comment? There has been something not quite right about my team at work and you just hit the nail on the head. We seem to suffer from this (and I think your correct pointing out Melbourne do as well) and was just wondering if there is some team building theories around this?

Hang on, didn't we win? Goodwin is going to be the first coach in history to get sacked for winning. It might not have been pretty and there may be issues but we did win, I wasn't that drunk was I?

Oh yes, game day. It's been so long. Need a win, must win, no excuses. Problem is that could have been copied and pasted from the Carlton forum ?

I was wondering why I was bombarded with life size Allen Jackovich doll adds, I swear I only googled it once...

Got a couple of bone on 2 inch thick ribeyes to smoke and a bottle a Bobbie burns. Gonna be a nice arvo. Time to sack up let's get a win

I think you may have missed my point. Normally in fantasy circles people get some mail or some whispers about who's shaping up to play early and who isn't. I was merely pointing out that he was hot property for supercoachers early which would indicate that someone, somewhere along the line, was of the understanding that he was in line for early games. Not often they are wrong. I found it interesting that despite this mail, and taking kick ins in intra club, that there was no marsh series games and even with Salem and Jones (who is now a forward/back flanker) there wasn't even a mention. Didn't think he would come in as a surprise just asked if any of the obviously very heavily connected people on this forum had heard anything. Would hardly consider that an over reaction.

Just spoke to a Geelong friend, he said Col Hutchinson (afl statistician) hasn't missed any Geelong game for premiership points since 1963 or any Geelong home game at all since 1958.

That is amazing, I wonder if there is anyone from any other club who can beat that.

Has anyone got an insight on Rivers? Slot of supercoahers (myself included) thought he was going to get early games but nothing. Is he not meeting some standard at training? With Salem and Jones out and still no spot on the HBF it's hard to see him cracking onto the side this year?

Who says sue is a man? Don't you listen to Johnny Cash?

What will we do until it starts to snow? I have already ordered 2 dozen cheese boards...

Disagree, I think the way he can most to the team is like Hawkins. Lead, mark, kick, goal, repeat.

You are both wrong and right Weideman has to nothing to deserve it in the tuck, but he isn't a ruckman. Max will ruck the majority of the game on his own. I think the role we are filling is a forward who can attend maybe 8-10 centre bounces a game. Who is the better forward? For what it's worth I'd be happy to play all of Weideman as a stay at home forward and have McDonald and Jackson push up and run back, which is what I think will happen

1 might not be enough anymore either but I agree. Need a genuine undisputed top 3 in the comp player. THEN add Gawn, Oliver, Petracca, May, Lever et cetera We need a Brownlow medalist ON TOP of what we have to be considered anything more than just a finals team. A bit humbling actually

I think this is his predicted top 50 for the year, then at the end he does he's actual top 50. So he is predicting the Bont to be number 1. I would argue he won't even be the best Footscray player

Patton is a sook, every little touch he carried on. I reckon you could get in his head so easy
