If that's true, good for them. They were 100% right. Look what a similar camp did for Adelaide. You don't leave a valuable commodity, your players in the charge of unqualified people.

I thought BT excelled himself tonight, in great form coming into finals. I honestly didn't think he could get any worse than he has been this season. I was obviously wrong.

The positive for C/Wood is at least Bucks and Sando can get in a game of tennis.

I mentioned something a while ago on this as a possible trade for one of our mids, not Oliver or Petracca... ...but they need what we have too much of and we need what they have too much of.

Rumours can be fun but we've had some posters go above & beyond. Misleading would be a kind word. That's where it's no longer fun.

I'm still for moving Sparrow back, I know you're not keen on his disposal but he seems to have tidied up a bit. Good size, strength and reasonable leg speed. I just don't see him as a mid, doesn't find the ball. The obvious replacement for Jetta, another who couldn't find the ball further up the ground.

Eddie would go into convulsions...not a bad thing though. Daicos has certainly come on a bit this year, thought at first he was name value only but can play.

Petty could take that tall defender spot. Will add that Tomlinson has been ok...an upgrade on Oscar. Spending on a KPF would be a waste, agree. As you posted before Weid has been pretty good in his games back but missed Jackson toward the end...all the KPF's have struggled this season so expectations on Weid have been too high. He's done his job.

Agree 'Dee'...another running wingman who can work hard up and down the ground. We need to get into someone like we did with Langdon, Phillips at the Pies (yes has a contract but rumours they might offload because of cap issues) has been my suggestion but happy to hear others.

I would swap Goody with Demonlanders...have to be crazy to support Melbourne.

Could someone please explain how the hub rules work... I was listening to SEN the last week and one of the players was out at a coffee shop getting his regular fix. Wish I could remember who it was....coffee or beer, either way you're not in a hub. Regularly frequents the coffee shop. Surely this is not how it works?

Exhibit A: Luke Hodge saying he doesn't like the shortened game, he just doesn't like the 90 minute game. Much prefers the old hour and a half game...

He's got something special this kid.... Again he stood up when the pressure was on. His contest then tackle in the last stopped their run on & helped turn the game back in our favour. He lifted when we needed him.

Rivers - saved our bacon...

To be fair I thought you started this thread...but there you go, at least you got in there with something kinda dumb.

Nothing would surprise but touch wood, we have gotten better at these games. No excuses, we've had a reasonable break.

Cheer up 'dazz'...I reckon we should take EFC. ...and at least then we're in it for another day.

He's been out injured...hamstring. It's really as simple as that.

I think you've argued this well 'Dee' and backed it up with solid logic. As much as the defeats really p... me off, there have been changes made to the game and we are still building the list. ...and I know others don't like it but the fixture hasn't helped us. The one are I get really angry with Goodwin is on selection, some decisions defy logic. ...as an aside, I did love seeing him emotionally involved in the game on the weekend rather than his boring poker face look. I hope we see a lot more of it.

I'm not sure this is right 'Cranky'... Now that tackling has been cleaned up you are unlikely to get concussed in congested play. Concussions are more likely to occur in marking contests and accidental contact with players running at speed in more open spaces. They can't get the momentum in congested play to cause concussions and now sling tackles and head high hits have for the most part been taken out of the game I can't see this adding to the problem.

I don't think so Adrian...

Anyone thinking Saad is worth a first rounder have rocks in their heads... Not a chance...2nd rounder is about right but I would be looking elsewhere to be honest.

Maybe he should listen to it sometimes.... It's seriously unlistenable when Cooney and his cronies are on. To busy talking s.... and forgetting about the footy. At least you can kinda still see it on the tele but when they forget to describe on the radio we have a problem.

Funny that but Jack missed a fair bit of season 2018 with injury....but go figure.

No...this is 'joeboy's' domain. We are only guests, we get the right of reply but he has the final say. I may not agree with all he says but it's still my first stop off after every game. His is the final list. Look forward to it every week. Keep up the good work '@joeboy'
