Didn't even get out to our customary 26 point failure mark this half

Anyone else for a game on a damp cold Saturday night in August

and people said the Blues weren't that good what has happened to this team in the last ten weeks

Well dominating the inside 50's and getting nothing will always be rewarded

Has the game started yet or are we still warming up

Perhaps Max needs a change of boot

Here's the rules in 2016 Other than the references to the Development league I doubt that they have changed much https://websites.mygameday.app/assoc_page.cgi?c=1-118-0-0-0&sID=277333

strange.. perhaps they are unloading

was about to ask the same thing

So you think Pies are hiding him from the rest of the season (no VFL even) so they can sandbag us on a deal. I love a conspiracy theory

Hard to get excited about the game.The team is firing on four cylinders out of 6 at best. If we win tonight which we should it all comes down to a 50/50 Brisbane game. The Pies loss last week with our dominance inside 50 shows we are simply not clicking

Jake Lever = Undertaker in Dickensian times Langdon = International surfer Ben Brown= Dr Who Oliver= Ginger Meggs

Saints could surprise... with luck And as I post Lions get a last minute goal to put them back in front

Describes many of us supporters as well I'm afraid. Post bye season has been a leveller to say the least

And they said the get back Hogan was a bad idea

A bit disappointing.. I don't see this side as being one to go deep into the Finals On paper it's our easiest game Oh well

A medium level ruck would command around $450k per a year. We have to get a ruck.For an extra $250k we get an AA ruck. Provided he is clearly fit it makes sense. Mind you I'd love to get $400k a year out of the Pies

Good to see someone questioning the ruck myth When they can play well in another position ..great Otherwise.................

Not sure Lever knows any other kind. Langdon can be similar I think

To get the Treloar deal done the Pies made it known they would pay $300k of his $900k salary for five years. If you could get them to pay $400k of his $1M Grundy could fit money wise for us

It's widely reported as being $1M per year for 7 years of which this is the second year

42 named players = almost 2.5 per team We got 4... good result Swans have 6

you can't have a premium pick and a salary dump as you say. Strange supporters those Magpie fans Whatever we do get the deal in writing. Remember the Treloar fiasco where post trade no one was sure who was paying how much of his salary and for how long

Just don't see the synergies between Gawn and Grundy. Two very similar players Jackson and Gawn works because they are different types of players. If intended to release Gawn forward he needs to nail his goalkicking. And then there's the money. Even if we only pay 60% of his salary he's not cheap

100% correct but why not have modes A, B, C & D You can change the mode during a quarter even. Prevents the opposition anticipating your strategy
