TRIGON

A rationale thought there @one_demon...why not try and fit-in?

I'd suggest no change; go in with 22 match-fit players. If the cats want to go 4 tall in the forward line then let May, Lever, Petty and Smith bring it to ground, Salem, Rivers and Bowey dissecting the cats on the rebound.

If we land this guy is his nickname going to be Kaye?

We're strong, we're young, we're full of run. Bring the pressure and we'll get it done.

A Big Footy Rookie named Glek 🤔

I think that currently we are an effective team, but not an efficient one; another midfielder with polished disposal would be welcome.

Anxiety, pain, emotional turmoil...the life of Ernest Hemingway. As summarised here in 3 and a half minutes:

In the clear light of day, a non-match day, I don't think that the umpires are on the take. What I do think is that they are: poorly supported in terms of training development, given unclear and/or confusing directions on how to adjudicate the game, and Have conscious or sub-conscious biases towards certain players and teams. That being said, I am delighted that Margetts is retiring.

Thanks for clarifying that @wheaters31...I was starting to wonder if an ouija board was involved in the process.

Kudos to Lachie Whitfield who I thought played a great game.

@DoorHandle ?

Good point you make there; Peter Bell come Trade Week:

Voted no, but it's a nuanced no. At the start of the year my primary concern was that if we didn't click now we may start to bleed quality players who'd go looking for greener pastures; we've managed to lock most (not all) key players into long-term contracts which bodes well for the future and that's a big tick. However we have had a great run, for the most part, with the health of the list. This sets up an opportunity that is relatively rare and so it would be disappointing if it were to be squandered.

Q1/ GWS because I'd like to see the entitlement attitude I've encountered with many Hand-bagger supporters crushed by a straight-sets elimination. Q2/ I really have no idea who will win this one - and that's a good thing.

Saw Joe Biden on the morning news a couple of days ago and thought to myself, @Wizard of Koz is NOT going to like this...

The Mark Neeld years were as grim as it gets. My understanding was the he was given the mandate to 'toughen" the squad up. Unfortunately it sounds like he took it way too far...

I'm not sure about the magnification of childbirth x 100. However there is an argument for childbirth being less painful; I have heard of many women says "lets have another child" and yet never ever heard of any man saying "that was great, how about another kick in the Jatz Crackers".

Draft and Trading being our speciality.

I'd argue that many of them are not journalists, just 'reporters'.

I'd suggest you just take his word for it.

A 2 on his left cheek and 21 on the other?

Plus fined for "Unnecessary Travel".

Juicy poll topic, might just wait until the teams get announced.

Nice of him to call 🙄.
