if the dogs aren't seriously worried about playing us on the G they should be! I reckon we are going to come out all guns blazing again in the words of Jack Viney " when we play to our structures, we win, the opposition, venue, crowd, conditions is all irrelevant."

Myself, mrs sassy ( newly converted Melbourne supporter), and her brother will be there, possibly not wearing pink but fairly keen to buy one of the pink jumpers.

don't underestimate the internal improvement, yesterday was the best game I have seen from grimes, Dunn and Jetta have been fantastic and Mcdonald I'd say has gone ahead of frawley now. make no mistake we have a genuine top 8 if not top 4 defensive unit right now.

He is relishing the support he now has with Cross, Vince, Tyson and another year into Viney and Matt Jones, got a quiet $50 on a top 10 finish in the brownlow.

What's more amazing is his knockers, I doubt many people feel we lost out on that trade with Tyson probably up there with mumford and polec as the recruit of the year and having a genuine impact and salem showing some very good glimpses he is only going to get better too, 6-8 years off his prime... how scary is that?

You only have to look at last year to see that while most players who put talks on hold leave not all of them do, Jack Watts was genuinely undecided and Roosy being on board convinced him to stay I would not discount the possibility that a few more wins might well see Chip stay on, having said that if he leaves we will be compensated with what I consider overs so we really come out of it okay either way although it's not ideal if your best players can just walk.

Indifferent form? He played one bad game and he was injured.. him playing like he is up forward will be boosting his value significantly imo

If we win this weekend and make it two in a row I would Say we are showing genuine signs of direction and imporovement, plus we will pay him more than other sides plus we will let him play forward plus he is a loyal country boy. But watching hawthorn who wouldn't wanna get on board that ship

That goal he kicked at the end of the game to me was a sign that this kid will be more than a really good player there was Scott pendelbury written all over it After 20 games he is playing like a 100 gamer

Can't see viney getting weeks for that bump, accidental contact and he went for the ball

Anyone put their hand up today?

We need our own demons reserves team familiarity with the game plan week in week out Is a huge developmental bonus we are missing out on right now It's also massive for coaching development

Sitting third in the Lou Richards medal right now if he got any votes yesterday he'd be winning Top 10 in Herald Sun player of the year More than likely got 8 or more brownlow votes so far Ranked 109 in the afl player ratings Something out of place there seriously underrated

Minimal unforced changes , having said that I'd rather Kent than Byrne's and glimpse developing in the vfl

If chip is out for next week I'd play watts at chf

I would leave chip forward, why change a backline that's clearly working?.and his form apart from yesterday has been good

Mrs sassy is abit of a fan of Dom

I wouldn't mind seeing Salem play a full game in the forward pocket he has great goal sense looks a genuine goal kicking mid to me

A family friend of mine spoke to Paul Roos during the week and basically he said he was shocked how quickly we have improved defensively. Reckons if you take out the west coast game our defence is top 4 without garland or chip in it . Feels we may not be as far off as first thought

One game out of the 8 atm and we should have beaten gws saints and gc. Is it possible we are much better than we realise?

Tyson Dawes Vince Jkh Jetta Viney

Nev did a good job on Betts and Lewis jetta last week, if he can consistently keep the opposition's small forwards quiet it will be very good for our fortunes

Jay Kennedy Harris is a steal at pick 40 Dom Tyson is class and guts rolled into one Dawes is very underrated Beating a good side with Jones quiet is a massive positive Our defence is in the top 6 in the comp and our two best defenders ( frawley and garland) aren't in it

Just doing enough here

Was shocking last week too
