definitely not got the kicking boots on tonight

better !

nah

One more month and a quick rapid test and BB could have played. Would have been happy to see Mitch Brown come into the side but perhaps he plays too much like Fritsch. Not confident at all about Weid having an impact marking wise but hopefully he can bring the smaller forwards into play

Rarely would one witness a game where one ruckman is so absolutely dominant but at the same time ineffectual

Some important games this weekend in shaping the top ten and the rest. Hawks and Carlton (with one being undefeated) skews the longer term perspective perhaps. The interesting ones for me are Pies V Cats, Adelaide v Port and Saints v Richmond. You can mount a case for each being a comparative upset result.

has nicely moved from the 15-20 brigade selection wise into the 10-15 slot. Could be a 200 gamer easily

Not his fault someone couldn't push him out of his spot in his second and even more so in his third year. When drafted most were hoping for two years tops and the third mainly at Casey. We also had few senior (post 28 yo) players We definitely got what we paid for

if we had been able to trade Melksham last summer things would be easier. $400k saving. T Mac on another year of 600k plus doesn't help. Sure the impact is reduced next year and Brayshaw is probably facing a cut but it wont be easy. An increase in the TPP cap is not necessarily of help because it frees up money for the bidding clubs as well

Last year most of the season we would head for the right forward pocket so the default was OOB and reset. Perhaps since BB we are going more central

only saw the last quarter. Nice win but no one bashing the door down good handball but perhaps recipients too close leading to congestion and turnovers

Not prepared to write off TMac based on last night. All the MFC talls except LJ failed to some degree. Hope Weid gets back for today's game at Casey

painful but a win !

Kick Straight and Prosper

Kick Straight and Prosper

worthy of a thread discussion in its own right

History is coming in Lahore

yes (well you used to ) but not sure how it works without a plastic membership $5 for an away match

Do they say more than GWS fans I wonder ? Seriously though the clubs ought to insist on seeing the 5 and ten year business case in order to determine when to cut their losses

On the basis of exposed VFL practice form looks like Bedford is the sub. The opening VFL match is set for 2pm Sunday. I wonder if any of the emergencies will make it back

no problem with moving to digital but how could it be thought it was a good idea to introduce at the same time as you are trying to overcome covid hesitancy. Interesting to see level 4 of the AFL members closed for our Bulldogs game. Another smart move !

Another reason for the Hawks and North to resist the entry of a Tasmanian team is the priority picks that team will receive. Does GCS still have a few priority picks to go as well

In SA the definition is 15 minutes which makes life interesting.

Would have preferred an Adelaide win

The 1000 goal game was a myth this week as we all know but they couldn't stop promoting it. With 4 goals still to go I doubt Buddy will crack it next week either against Geelong (Friday night prime time of course). Perhaps against the Bulldogs at Docklands the following week
