Weid Hits the Ground Running
Yeah I concede that ( I'm a fan of TMac) but he seems to almost take a mark,almost kick it over the player on the mark when he does get one, almost get the ball in a contest.. I'm pretty sure he was following instructions though and his shepherd goal in the g/ f is why he's way better than Weid If Weids excuse is his confidence I reckon it's a genuine issue for both the McDonald brothers

Weid Hits the Ground Running
Unfortunately David Neitz could make a comeback and overtake TMac as well as push Weid out of a contest. I hope TMac can string one complete season together myself

What they're saying about Max elsewhere
Either that or Hawkins is no Steve Waugh when it comes to sledging. He looked a bit angry when he ( and the rest of the Geelong team) let Max mark uncontested in the final 30 seconds of round 23 No sledger, no emotional control and none to smart imo

Is Melbourne's midfield one of the best of all time?
Not enough opposition supporters hate us for them to qualify yet. Opposition coaches will actually be putting more work into the backline ( ours and theirs) and over Christmas and still backing their own midfield to break even.

"Without Gawn barely a top 8 side " Gold It's about time we were so good that they started saying stuff like that. I think we might have them rattled

Best Player to wear #24 since 1964.
I once saw he glide down the David Neitz 50 in front of the Members and had no idea where he'd come( wizard) from then watched him drop the ball onto someone's chest right in front of the goals. Wattsy spent a career calling for the ball free on the flank but they ignored him. LJ just appeared and the ball would come along for the ride. 100 games would have been enough for footy immortality. Bloody Mark Neeld could bully him into the rehab room but took away his mentor kept him free from the drink. And people criticise Bails!!

You are correct of course but gee.....he's still my pick

What’s your favourite GOAL from the Grand Final?
I am not sure where this started or where it's going but let's just say that BT is worse than either Harry Beitzal or Rex Hunt . Commentators have use by dates even when start out as a fresh take on the game,. We tire of them but the boys club keeps them until they go to jail or get sprung in a lane with their pants down. But BT? Commentates of pre prepared cheats sheets and still gets most things wrong! Daisy is on the boundary to quietly clean up his crepe a minute or two later

What’s your favourite GOAL from the Grand Final?
Yeah righto but that not what the Spud said...he said you need to be looking at the goals. Nothing about options or the man on the mark. He reads everything off a pre prepared cheat sheet anyway, I think he went to point 5 when he should have read out number 6. The first four are what he says when he's variously decreeing where the kicker should aim for.

2021 Player Reviews: #7 Jack Viney
If BT said it then it's probably incorrect unless he gets someone else to do the research for the cheat sheets he uses to pad out his attempts at commentary.

COVID & AFL 2021
You be looking at masks the wrong way Faulty, they are a fashion item ..mix and match with shirt and socks or even knickers if you're a lady off to the nightclub to meet a new friend...the final gradual unveiling would be excellent. But then I'm old with a vivid imagination .( smile) No doubt there is a hot weather advantage though,my Maleny friends keep asking questions and one came down here for 3 months to care for her sister and found it eye opening ( to say the least)

COVID & AFL 2021
Probably/ possibly with advances in the vaccination tweaks and other interventions even a new strain will only see the targeted lockdowns we are being told to accept now. Other than that though " high probability of back to back " seems wildly optomistic. Double chance yes,but as we speak opposition coaches with an eye to finals are analysing the Dees game in a way they could never be bothered to do previously. A few injuries and we' re ripe ...

What’s your favourite GOAL from the Grand Final?
Righto ....under 12's,was that the geography teacher filling in after school? Choco may have mentioned looking for the player you plan to kick to because that seems to have improved, but goals don't move ..which isnwhy players can snap goals blind I am pretty sure Gus knew both where he was on the ground and where the goals were, because he turned around and seemed to look straight at them before he ran in aiming the ball at the middle of said target.

Mine was Gus who walked back ,ball in hand, as we listened to BT preaching that he hadn't turned and looked at the goal as if it was a mortal sin....then he turned around,ran in and slotted the middle. Fancy being paid to be a pompous fool who gets pretty much everything wrong..the perfect job for Brian Taylor
