  1. When did we hire Brett Burton?
  2. I’d like to see both Garlett and Spargo in the team this week. Spargo is very good at reading ball of packs and Garlett has enough runs on the board. Yeah, Jeffy’s form isn’t screaming of a recall but just bite the bullet I say. Humid conditions and picking both might work.
  3. Yep. I like your give me strength line. Why not ruin the game more by introducing VAR for centre bounces only. An eye in the sky might deter players from the blocking and gut punching. Concentrate on the pairings prior to the bounce. It would have taken 5-10 seconds to relay the message down to the central ump, no longer a delay than a recalled bounce since the other 2 geniuses missed it.
  4. I’m surprised at myself for getting angry over this. Just when I started to calm down. It’s not a joke anymore as it’s no longer funny. I suppose Steele threw his arms out saying he didn’t touch him. Is this the same schmuck that a threw a cheap one at Max’s back the first time we played them at Etihad 8 weeks ago?
  5. If Petty is omitted would the FD consider Pedersen as a replacement? Pedersen has spent the last two weeks as a defender at Casey. I’m not suggesting we should bring him in to replace Petty, more curious to see what other people think. He would add experience to an extent, although I don’t think he’s played back all that often in the past. We have Frost and judging by some posts people will have hearts in mouth when he’s near the ball. Keilty is another option but god help him if the ball is allowed to come in like yesterday.
  6. https://www.sen.com.au/news/2018/07/01/ex-coaches-slam-melbournes-coaching-decisions Fugazi or have they been reading Demonland?
  7. It’s becoming extremely difficult to defend Tyson lately. One passage of play typified his game yesterday. During a centre bounce in the first quarter he lined up on the wing ( southern side) standing right next to his opponent. He wasn’t even aware the ball had been bounced because he was looking down at the ground at the time. Inexcusable and poor concentration. His opponent had taken off into the square, only then did Tyson realise he better get on his bike but way too late. The guy lacks leg speed as it is and yet Goody persists with him there. Of course the hit-out came southern side and his opponent with a 3 metre gap won the ball and kicked it forward resulting in a shot at goal for them. I don’t like to pot players but this only an observation. I was keeping an eye out for Tyson on the wing to determine what we actually gain from it.
  8. Excuse my ignorance. Can rookie listed players be traded?
  9. Anyone notice Seb Ross having a picnic as a spare man inside our attacking 50 during the 3rd? What was done about it? Nothing. Perfect time to throw Trac deep forward and make Richardson react. At worse, Ross would have been moved as he wouldn’t be able to match Trac for strength, instead he was allowed to sweep the ball away constantly to the wings.
  10. That is a bad sign......for us.
  11. Goodwin refuses to coach. I saw one move today and it was pointed out in the game thread also. Fritch moved to loose man in the back during the second quarter and he was our best forward at the time. Just wow! The amount of mismatches at the end of St Kildas end to end plays were comical. Hibberd/Jetta/Lewis trying to defend taller players in the air. How many times did they run through us from a kick in? Our structures whatever they are went to shite again and nothing....again. I don’t know if T Mac was 100% right to play but he did. He’s our best defender from the 22 today and it wouldn’t have hurt to throw him back to stabilise the younger talls and lead them. Instead, let’s start him on the wing over and over. I assumed Goody had Roosy on speed dial. I was wrong. Richmond were struggling to overcome the Saints a few weeks ago yet Hardwick threw Vlastuin forward and changed the game. If you want to see what a captain’s game should look like see Max Gawn.
  12. Yep. So many dejected faces here. A lot of bleeding in the stands.
  13. T Mac to the backline!! Can’t do much worse. Change it around please. 72 points against them at the half.
  14. The mismatches are beyond belief in St Kildas forward line.
  15. Can we get 39,999 today? Looking at the St Kilda cheer squad end probably not. At least Captain America is here.
  16. BOG- Brayshaw 33 disposals. 2 goals, 12 tackles, 7 clearances.
  17. Damn shame we didn’t turn up against them. We still had our fair share of sceptics throughout our winning streak though. We beat no one because we made them look like no one. After Pies just beat Carlton it was “ More dangerous than Richmond”. After beating Suns “ Flagpies? Ready to overtake Richmond”. Hoping we get the last laugh over them.
  18. Haha, all I can say is Welcome to your first live win of 2018. Go Dees!
  19. All those crowds were 40k plus. Just go alone today and you’ll be fine.
  20. Beat Carlton and Gold Coast and all of a sudden they’re labelled as Flagpies. Yuk!!!
  21. Just like that....Crows in front. All over the Eagles.
  22. I think my night will only get better. Boy is having his 10th Bday at some kids fun zone up this way and I found a Sporting Globe bar right next door. ? Races and sport everywhere.
  23. Loved the Bernie interview post match. However long it takes, he will be banging the door down to get back in the team. He’s not giving up just yet.
  24. What’s the lowest total for inside 50’s? Blues might go close today. Yet to hit 30.
