Totally agree with everything you said. Horses for courses and Preuss in particular, in that, and last weeks situation , would fill the bill, and the fear of the Lord. Did notice that the opposition did seem to have a high opinion of Burgess. He should have told them to feck off.

There has never been a more physically abused Captain and player than Max. Every time he went for the ball he was stripped from the back and sides, by some two bit little runts who, if we had the players who would do the subtle interference that that mob were coached to do, in the clinches, that result would have been vastly different. Port is a side that plays the man at every opportunity. EG: We would go for the ball, they would go for the tackle, and never the ball, and it looked terrible. Players held without the ball constantly. Players tripped all the time. Players randomly pushed, ragged and strangely purposely kicked and tripped on their way over fallen opponents. What a shambolic bunch of second rate umpires who even have the gall to yell out decisions that do not resemble what happened...... Personally i think we should have Women Umpires who would have far more balanced decisions based on what they see, not what they think they see. That would be a start......

Have a fair idea what "they" want the game to look like, like the Cats........short passing whatever your discretion feels like and then clamp down on it when it suits, and you know when that is. Give a free when even though you know the camera doesn't lie and that [censored] up the whole game enough for the opposition to be seen laughing about it after the game, and we knew when that was. The AFL have installed into their ranks amongst others TWO of the biggest striped no hopers the game and the general fraternity have ever seen, and we all know who they are........

Quite a few decisions against us tonight that were seemingly not unanimous, overruled or just not picked up at all, but we were playing against a Team that has to be given every chance to feature in a packed sell out come GF Time.....

So a couple of showers so far. I think its a Day day today...

Remember that. In those days they had hard luck Harry, with the perennial smile. Too close to the truth possibly now, dare i say gambling...

The Umpires must feel as though their consciences are collectively scarred for life after doing MFC games.... ...and i don't bear any animosity.

Agree with this and add that , believe it or not ,Jackson strikes me as being one that is under the radar we really need. That way he stays fit, learns, albeit good contributor, and covers Max"s load at the same time. Could work well, could be problematic.

Its going to be a "bruise free" game anyway, just so we don't forget...

At least we are going to get exposure all around the country, so good time to be up and about playing well i hope...

I like Oliver, he always looks like he's in for the long haul...

Two things, how important Langdon's contribution was 17 handballs and kicks with pace/space that he might not get this week. Was anyone injured? thought i noticed a slight limp from one.

I wonder if other Teams who have gone through a period of losing and then winning do the same as what we do. Shy away from the team focus to individual player types. We should all know how important these blokes are in team balance when we have a seven handball change of hands ending in goals, exciting stuff and we do it better than anyone. A young bloke from a legendary football family, runs third in the Brownlow for very good reasons that he will always have, and a brother of a very good KPF starts looking more like a gun back line player in the Michael Johnson mould because he's given a chance to mature.

Be very careful about having wagers on TAB with regard to totals for players. Not for the first time this season checked my totals of disposals on the AFL web site at 3/4 time, seeing if i was in with a chance in last qtr to achieve the required number. Example: today Zorko had a 3/4 time total of 17 at least before the third qtr was finished. Had another five in the last qtr at least. Something smells here........ amazing how many blokes have finished the games with totals of 19 or 18 and 23 or 24.???

Rowville drive in....... den of iniquity

We should be much fitter this year, this time.

History doesn't connect dots very well. Really spend a week or so in Malaysia, Italy or New Zealand....never ending.

Don't disagree Binman, my reply pertained to many injustices here being done and hidden whether it be Afghanistan or Vietnam or R.C's galore just as Australia is in a race to the bottom on many fronts and rewriting is one white people are really good at.... To the specific, Deaths in Custody, i don't think we want to listen to or indeed comprehend this deep issue, as it is for indigenous peoples. We are not even there yet!!

Nothing against Brown but i would swap him for Daniher, bonus is we get the next five Daniher generations..

Just a question IT, please. I sensed a slightly harder edge in the body language, am i imagining or not?

Facts have a habit of getting obliterated, right about the same time history gets rewritten.

..good pick up...

i can well imagine the Royal Commissioner walking out of proceedings, muttering Cannon Law is a bugger, every night....

I proudly want to add hard....

A lot of good stuff on here you blokes. I needed to be reminded....
