I'm going for 6-8 weeks.... or simply TBC for the next week or two

Oh great... Hope 2nd spot is not still on the line on late Sunday afternoon

At junior level these guys star because there are few opponents who have the strength or ability to go one on one with them. They literally have the ball on a string. Different at AFL level. My guess is that midfielders give a little more indication of future ability simply because of midfield congestion. Seeing some potential draft picks at VFL level may change the dynamics. Personally I'd like to see the draft age moved to 20 and meanwhile they play in the VFL or similar

T Mac due back this week so he's in the medium term mix. Agree on Jefferson but in a break glass environment he's not that far off. If he was paired with Petty maybe but he and JVR... cannot see it

It's contract length more than dollars is my guess $425k approx x 3 would be sensible but someone will probably offer 4 years. Is he the answer.. Will leave to others

Hopefully the next 6 odd weeks don't resemble the Punic Wars

Interesting... the live ladder end of season projection flipped us from second to third at the last minute. Even with Lions at season's end but behind on %. Let's hope it's wrong

no... the one point win to the Lions is the best of both worlds for this week. Lions have a slightly harder run home than we do.. Hope springs etc PS... 8 points is stretching the equation but we're still ok

So you're trading Grundy because we may as well. Who is your forward... Smith or Schache ?

Grundy is a more than adequate ruck replacement but he's useless as a forward. Play to your overall strengths not necessarily individual strengths. Would you prefer Schache or Smith up forward... the cupboard is bare

Don't think the draw is our best result Tending towards a 20 point Freo win as my desired outcome

STOP that game Perfect result.... Lions by 1 point

Grundy to 60% ruck and Gawn to a Tom McDonald CHF role. The great thing is that we are getting goals from the small forwards. I have zero confidence in Smith as a full game goal contributing forward... sub is his role

Time for a visit to the swimming pool

and now we're third .................

Following the Freo game with the live ladder is painful Happy with Freo losing but we need a high scoring shoot out https://www.liveladders.com/AFL/

Thanks for those assessments Joeboy. Today was very hard due to the abysmal first quarter and the let down of the last. Jordon showed today he might have the goods. A few weeks ago he tore a VFL game apart. Will he be the one to go for Oliver or will it be Harmes

how to make a win painful... that's the MFC

Kicking away that %

that goal made it very difficult to pass Lions percentage

Come on guys

well that was RUBBISH

Why are they clearing so easily from our forward 50

A bit of corridor play would not go astray but I did notice a few kick outs to the corridor area that didn't come off. North are parking the bus so we need to be quicker on the rebound

Just watch that last chain.... disgusting
