Now ..the send off rule might indeed need to be revisited. If they had rightly been required to play play one short for 10 minutes then they would have had to change their gameplan and the previously disadvantaged team, having lost a key player may have been able to restructure somewhat and get the game back on even terms. It has always made sense but agreeing on the terms is difficult

Thete was plenty of goal kicking practice early on They all nailed it from 40 to 50 out. Fritsch stayed out in the first rain to get the feel of the ball. They lost their Zen under pressure when the game started and no one was leading the way until Max stepped up just before half time. By then it was just their old chaotic scramble to keep in touch; hardly the way to unsettle a team playing with their noses in front from the first minute of a Prelim..( actually the whole season)

He should be rubbed out for sure but it's not the main story is it. That's how much did we miss Brayshaw and will the Lions do us all a favour and destroy the Pies in the G/F

Brisbane just became flag favourites for mine. Melbourne should chase Ratogalea

Yep both correct but it's true we propped and missed opportunities. How many times did they have manage to have one player running down into the fat side to keep the attack going. Playing with " dare" our Daisy calls it.

What choice did he have? Better set up around marking contests perhaps might have helped. That's coaching and discipline from the smalls.

TMac was no surprise but really they had to pick him . I would have gone with Grundy but then that's not going to happen is it

They didn't dominate at all until the end. They hung on and scrambled to keep in the game at best We're you there ?

Yes I would expect so. As you say it best not to wish injuries

Oh that's very decent of you

Probably sick of carrying a crepe forward line

Get help. Seriously

Who's winning the groundball Binman?

They're bring out the blankets in the committee room as we speak. I can't see if they are going down to the interchange bench. I guess not

He looked good on the walk around of the ground Bigger than 80% of the team and a better hair cut than Fritta who, at least ,is out on the ground getting used to a wet ball. First lightning and thunder and it aint the Pies

I guess it's good to see you're flexible .

Well I hope not myself,but you have no idea ..you're looking backwards

Who will you blame if they lose then?

King watches NRL until the Champion Data stats come out then he goes on SEN and talks absolute rubbish

The Pies were loading

After his first quarter in 2021 I decree that Salem should never be dropped. The full back was a walking cripple if I remember correctly . They would likely have confronted a mountain too high to climb without Salo. He stays

Are you saying that "Land isn't the only place that it's always the umpires fault? Struth I better do a rethink and cut you guys some slack

MFC have more to play for ..the Pies might like an extra game to tune up (Daicos at the least) MFC might like a break to ease the injury burden.

And hit that sweet spot of form at the back end of the game not the first quarter After half time at the very least..but 4 quarters would be good
