Bombay Airconditioning

2 weeks off to consider his future, what next?

And the Eagles will most likely still play finals, this is not a one off. Like the Giants they need a new coach.

Again today comes down to mindset. We have enough talent to win today,

17 other clubs are hoping the Giants keep Leon Cameron as their coach.

Well they have owned us of recent times.

My mate in Melbourne just texted me. Press conference today with Hogan and Melbourne doctor. Anyone confirm.....

I've tipped Bombers to beat the Cats. Cats have been exposed the last two weeks and we're lucky in some of their earlier games.

Honourable loss anyone.... When do the start selling the $250 raffle tickets again?

We have no excuses.

Level 3 Punt Rd end behind the goals.

I have work in the morning and I am tired but I'm staying up to watch Richmond lose.

Oscar

Bombay Airconditioning in association with the FACKLE has just greenlighted a fitty to the cause.

In Hogan, Kent Out Oscar, JKH

John Candy is good for another fitty, won't be until tonight or tomorrow though. Currently under the pump at work....

I'm all happy for 2 changes this week, but we need to move away from 3-4 changes a week. Yes some are injury driven. We still haven't fully gelled yet as a side.

Depth is a good thing but so is a settled team. Don't want to be making 3-4 changes every week.

On the Casey teams he's been named in defense, or maybe I read it wrong....

Wouldn't it be nice to be 5 & 0 heading into Sunday's game, that was a very realistic possibility. But some unnecessary suspensions and injuries to key players we find ourselves at 2 & 3. Today we learnt the sad news that Jesse's father has passed away. Understandably Jesse will be away from the club and miss matches, he should be given as much time as he needs, however long that ends up being. In years gone by this would be an automatic write off of the season, players would simply put it in the too hard basket and the losses would begin to mount up. But I would like to think we've grown as a club, both physically and mentally. Questions about leadership were again raised over the last 3 weeks, and to be fair some of them were warranted. If there's ever been a time for our leaders to stand up and be counted it's now. We are in the midst of one of the most even seasons ever. Someone on SEN this morning made the comment "With the exception of GWS and Adelaide any team can beat anyone else on their day". Our season is far from over, we still have enough talent to win not only this week but the games in coming weeks. The boys must unite and hold the fort until Jesse is ready to come back. Finals must still be our goal, Gawn could be back by round 15-16 giving him enough time to be match fit come finals. Moments like these can not only define this season but shape us mentally for years to come.

Frost.

Essendon are now favourites.... Bombers $1.88 Demons $1.92 Once again comes down to mindset. We will win.

Appreciate the stats, is there one for how many handballs hit the ground or were at a players knees? i think it would be ok if we hand 2-3 mids having more handballs than kicks but not all of them.

All the signs are there, he's played 17 (I think that's right, club website says 19) games. Selwood was drafted in 2006 winning a flag in 2007 when the Cats won their first of 3 (07,09, 11). Selwood walked into a team of the brink of greatness, he was always going to be good but let's give Petracca some time, and I don't mean 5 seasons.

Considering how the first 5 rounds have gone anything can happen. I still think we're a good chance to play finals.

No, it's the players mentality that gets us nowhere.
