flashbacks to the loss to the Essendon reserves side in 2017 are probably unwarranted but a few of us still have them

You couldn't see the water he was sipping. Amazing how long it can last Wonder who/what determines who gets the business class seats

Last year there were several games where we were say 20 points ahead well into the last quarter. It surprised me that we did not use those opportunities to practice a few offensive and defensive two minute drills. Perhaps the game is so unpredictable that there is little use. On the thread title I'm not sure there is much quality depth at VFL level but the failures of that competition are so many that it can be hard to judge

One if not both of Freo and Brisbane losing would be nice Pies v Bulldogs could be a good game

Majak's rucking at Casey has been first class. If Gawn misses Majak in please

6. Brayshaw 5. Picket 4. Brown 3. Oliver 2.Spargo 1. Petty. (Picket kicked key goals and Brown's ground work was great. Apologies to Petracca and Langdon )

game over... nice win but... still a nice win Defence fantastic

Mitch Brown with 6 goals at Casey today. Weid... nothing great

going to sleep 4 quarters would be nice

Disappointing second half of this quarter

need to finish the quarter... at least 2 goals more to nil

Southport coming back with the first goal of the second half 53-34

very very enjoyable 5 goals in 10 minutes

Frost on Wright was a master stroke... Not

would be nice to put a gap on a few more interstate teams. Don't particularly want to end up third with Brisbane and Freo at 1 and 2

Bye bye Suns

Was surprised by Weid's absence this week simply because they know what they get from TMac and it hasn't been great for nearly a year. Found the naming of Laurie on the extended bench interesting.

Early night with a good book AFL really putting some snooze fests on Friday nights

A Big Friday night game. Who would have thought it would be the "last chance saloon" for these two teams so early in the season. If GWS beat the Cats that is probably goodbye top 4 for the Great Ocean Road team The rest of the round is rather humdrum but perhaps the Crows upsetting the Blues could round out the weekend.

I sense a slight undercurrent for tweaking the forward line in the not too distant future. T Mac and Weid have only a few more chances. Melksham isn't the answer. Could Laurie be the post bye utility type forward to deliver that extra element to what is probably our weakest area

How strange only one poster mentioned RDB. I must confess I had forgotten his five (?) year stint. Other than the erratically brilliant Brent Crosswell I am struggling to recall players from that era

Northey gave a club hope for that he deserves No 1 As much as I enjoyed the 2021 premiership the roller coaster ride of 1987 and 1988 will forever be with me. 2. Goodwin 3. Daniher 4. Balme 5. Not sure.... I'm a little ambivalent on the Roo's legacy... personally I'd give it to Yze and Choco because there is little doubt they provided some magic dust for Goodwin's success

Watching the replay Tom Mac's game was a 5-6 whereas Weid's was 3-4. On the body of 2022 form they're lineball. Neither has really shone. Weid was performing against a youngster in the ruck last week

Great outcome and a strong address by Pert. I still wonder how a backline strategy that had so many holes (he's out the back) became one of the best in this century but whatever... well done Simon. I have had the pleasure of observing Goody in the crowd at many VFL games. His interaction with those around him underscores his humility. I do hope that he gains further extensions simply because he deserves to be well rewarded financially for delivering what many of us thought we'd never see. Thanks Goody

Haven't seen any reports on the results of the Council meeting last night. Referred to a committee perhaps 😂
