Barrel “the first time now the second time”, this has been going on for years….

In addition to this the saying in footy it’s not just who you play but when you get them, ie after a short break, after a bye, multiple players out injured. But at this time of year most teams are starting to hit their straps yet with us it’s almost like we reset every week and any momentum gained the week before is completely lost. We cannot use youth as a reason which could be understandable with some other teams.

He’s a magician.

Worth every cent.

Such a stupid rule, a bloke attacking the footy is completely different from deliberately taking someone’s legs.

What do posters consider to be more challenging, playing midfield or playing fwd? Add to that playing fwd in a team that plays the way we do. I missed a lot of sundays game due to work commitments but some of what I saw in the second half was we seemed to open the fwd line up a bit. In the upcoming trade period our chances of landing a dominant key fwd are zero and our chances of landing a serviceable one are remote. Having both Fritsch and Melksham in our fwd line makes us dangerous so long as we’re playing a certain way. Trading Fritsch would be madness.

And there we have it.

Considering our draw, no.

In the trade thread I floated Buku Khamis as a potential trade target. He’s 190cm tall, quick, can take a mark and from the litter times I’ve seen him a reasonable set shot. Limited opportunities at the Dogs but can play and shouldn’t cost much in terms of a trade. We need to be realistic about our options considering where we currently find ourself.

They were failures, all we had to do was not bomb the ball inside fwd 50 every single time.

Mr selfish at it again….

We’re trying to out do Essendon v Tigers from last night.

I didn’t put money on North because I don’t think they’ll win, had the tigers in my multi and hopefully that’s the only upset of the rd. I don’t consider GWS winning an upset.

This is why and it being Goody’s milestone game.

Quick ball movement through the corridor to an open fwd line, what a concept.

A lot of talk about how good North’s odds are, anyone loaded up yet?

Because every now and again you get someone like Ross Lyon who sticks it up the AFL about things everyone is thinking but most of us don’t have the platform and those that do are too scared.

Appreciate that but stats can be misleading. Where’s Melksham currently rated over the last 5 weeks?

He’s slow and whilst a good user of the footy he’s not a big kick.

Carlton about to get pumped.

Article on Instagram during the week of the leagues 15 highest paid players this year. 1 Lynch 1.4 million 2 Ben McKay1.3 million 3 Trac 1.2 million 4 Naughton 1.2 million 5 Bolton 1.1 million 6 T Kelly 1.1 million 7 Bont 1.1 million 8 Oliver 1 million 9 Moore 1 Million 10 Cripps 1 million 11 Heeney 1 million 12 Butters 1 million 13 Rozee 1 million 14 Ben King 1 million 15 Grundy 1 million Compare that to what currently is and will most like be the final 8 (Freo are overrated) 1 Pies Moore 2 Lions None 3 Crows None 4 Geelong None 5 Hawks None 6 Dogs Bont and Naughton 7 Suns King 8 GWS None We’ve just signed Kosi to 1.1 - 1.2 a year, fair to say one or both of Oliver and Trac have to go, it’s unsustainable to have all 3. Like many others I’d be happy to let Oliver go and a fresh start could be best for both parties. Lions last year premiers have none as do Geelong and the Giants. I understand things change and I was excited as everyone else was when we locked them both away long term but this list for me speaks volumes.

Lions for % Pies because suns are overrated Dogs with Magpie like pressure GWS Tigers Freo at home Dees Swans Port

Petty or TMac down back. Turner coming out of the goalsquare with Melksham and Chin buzzing anround, open the fwd line right up, manic footy for parts of the game.

3 weeks ago I had a $5 bet on when North beat Carlton, Swans beat Port and Brisbane beat Geelong, it paid $415.68. I actually had 8 x $5 bets on and I took those 3 games each way and the rest one out. If you’re confident on North try something similar.

Do I think Goodwin needs to go? Yes Do I think in the past senior players (from our club and others) have gotten together before a game and decided on effort levels when faced with situations like we are now? Yes Do I buy into the new gameplan excuse? No, as I mentioned after the suns game consisting of our worst 1st qtr followed by effort. I think there’s enough talent player for player to beat the Roos regardless of game style in addition Larkey looks like missing the game along with Darling, Parker and Wardlaw. Potentially others I’m missing. I would like to think if nothing else we try and win as many games as possible as That’s why we play footy. Let’s try and give the Bombers as high a pick as possible. Culture Play the kids and for periods in games let’s try some face paced run n gun footy into an open fwd line and let’s see what happens. We can’t be accused of tanking. At times when we’ve moved the ball quickly we’ve looked dangerous but still a lot to work on. And last of all for betting purposes.
