Bombay Airconditioning

By "fair few" do you mean the same "fair few" that stated prior to our first NAB game that it was irrelevant and they had little to no interest?

Just got an email regarding the "pledge per win". This year they can get stuffed....again. They cost me big $$$$ with their insipid efforts against Carlton and Essendon. This is my 13th consecutive year as a premium member and until they show they can play for an entire season as a team they get nothing else from me.

Flogged? I'm taking the game each way in a number of multis. I'm not confident but a flogging would be more than disappointing.

Exactly, for me it's in the same category as the milestone game garbage or the Bombers reunion for rd 2. Good teams come to play every week and have the belief they can win.

Heater or The Prince coming off half back....let me think about that one....

I'm hoping this year we will start to see the balance between the two. To be honest I'm not sure that Roos has an attacking game plan that would stand up in today's game, having said that even if he did he didn't have the players to carry it out (being 2014/15). He's done an outstanding job in putting the list together. Whe he first arrived the place was a mess with very few leaders and a playing group that were largely without a clue. In Roos first two years as we know he stripped it all back getting back to basics and although it wasn't attractive football to watch he tried to minimise the losses. The transition to Goodwin has come at the right time, whilst we can't get too carried away with the win over Port there were some good signs. For the teams growth to continue we can not afford the gifting of game to anyone regardless of their age or contract status. Goodwin needs to be hard but fair but borderline brutal with the players so as not to allow them (the senior players) to snap back into their collective daydream. We now have the making of a competitive fwd line and are slowly building a team of skilled footballers who don't mind the contest, quick ball movement is the only thing missing from our game and as a result more goals and more wins should follow.

Watching that reminds me of the time Jonathan Brown grabbed the bloke in a headlock from behind then flipped him to the ground and landed on top of him. He subsequently got off because he couldn't be charged with rough play as play had already stopped.

I think we have a winner, that's classic.

Did we even make a play for Heater at the time he left the Pies?

Would anyone notice if we swapped Heater for the Prince??

One Travis Cloke is out of contract freeing up a lazy 800.

Just finished watching "The Martain" BB, what a bloody good movie.

The last Dees/Bombers game I went to was when Jordie was involved twice in our last passage of play which saw the ball ultimately fall into the hands of Salem who calmly slotted the goal.

BBO? (beat me to it....posting whilst driving)

This game has already been marked as "Hammer Time". Are some getting worried by the fact they beat up on the other rabble? They are still to play Geelong and West coast away. Rd 1 they play the Suns away. We need to get physical with them before the opening bounce then pile on the goals as we steamroll them into the turf. Put 8 goals to zip on them in the first qtr, break them mentally. Are we forgetting they are largely kids and a few has beens thrown together. Dees by 89.

We can start with no more gifting of games to anyone.

It was a legitimate question as to why Grimes was in the rehab group.

What injury did Grimes sustain?

Agree but the club would argue he knows his role. I'm interested in do we go with less rotations, are if others are given a go who missed last week.

Didn't someone post earlier this week that they spoke with him at the family day and he's playing a game for Casey?? (I am on night shift so I may have misread that/got dates wrong)

I'm wondering if Goodwin has made up his mind with Frost, is it fwd or nothing? It's easier to play tall down back, would like to see him somewhere in the side.

So Frost as a forward.

Use the power of suggestive thought to convince every player they were born in Melbourne.

Mental toughness.

At Collingwood they do.
