  1. My food pinnacle was at the 1987 MCG finals. Esky filled with food from David Jones food hall (in those days excellent) and a bottle or two of French wine from Nick's in Doncaster. Now it's a peanut butter roll and a few mandarins with a plastic bottle of tap water
  2. Is Weid playing VFL these days
  3. Rich clubs like the Eagles can afford the million dollar soft cap hit. I think Port would like their time again but I'm not sure they have the money to pay Hinkley out. Questions could be asked at the end of 2025 if Dimma doesn't get the Suns a finals berth. Beveridge.... who knows Quite an unsettling time in coaching land
  4. Tried that at Casey a few weeks back (not sure if it was intentional).. Didn't work well
  5. There are how many VFL, SANFL WAFL ruckmen out there. You merely needed to ask and most would nominate. It's not rocket science
  6. My comment was that he's a future part timer "ruckman" just like Fullarton and Verral. We needed a back up ruck on the list
  7. The chickens coming home to roost is an understatement. As recently as 4-5 weeks ago in the mid season draft we had a chance to pick up a "break glass" ruckman but we went for another future part timer in Kentfield.
  8. Lucky we have a dominant midfield that is so experienced at sharking the ball from the opposition ruck. BTW Fullarton is no ruck and round the ground he's no star. Time to officially panic
  9. It's a tough run home full of "8 point games". Need to win well next week and go to Perth full of confidence for our Freo rematch If we are going to make it Petty will need to play a big part
  10. Anyone could have had him in 2020. He was traded for pick 54. Where it is better to say we missed was at the end of 2022. Hogan was given a one year extension in 2021 so was out of contract as the year's end approached. His 2021 form was reasonable but he had injuries (18 goals from 8 games). In August 2022 GWS gave him a two year extension. I suspect that had we offered him 3 years he would have joined us
  11. Nice win and some great improvement in structure. Windsor's game was enormous and bodes well for the future. Next few weeks will be telling
  12. And on cue there's a goal for us. Time for Fritsch to kick a lazy three more and we can all be happy
  13. We have kicked two goals to their two but I agree we could do better
  14. JVR to ruck the remaining 25 mins?? Interesting
  15. Nice one......... Let's Go Dees
  16. Another 4 goal to 2 quarter will set up the final quarter nicely please
  17. Come on Dees... Not the start I wanted
  18. Prescient... Now let's finish it off
  19. Thank you and another couple please.. 50 points up at the break would be nice
  20. Where's that forward connection gone Go Dees
  21. Need to outscore them 4 goals to two this quarter if not better
