Yes but not right now.....

Was the turning point the game against Geelong or was it two days before when Nate Jones walked into Roos office saying that the players take responsibility for the loss to StKilda. Finally some acknowledgement from the playing group that come gameday they are largely responsible for what happens on field. This doesn't mean we win every game as we found out against the Eagles two weeks later but it showed them what is capable when they come to play.

Im jealous mate. Up in Sydney working game on the radio.

Never heard of Browne, Edwards, Ashby, Obrien, Steinberg. The closest thing we have to a passenger in this game is Dawes but apparently he's playing a role. The stage is set for him to impose himself. If nothing I want to see him lay some of those bone crunching tackle.

Tigers have saints/Freo/Hawks coming up. Very interesting to see what happens.

Tigers only won last week thanks to some dubious umpiring late in the game.

His did Richmond ever beat the Swans and Freo.

How many people are breaking it down to each game on its merits as opposed to winning x amount of games and then thinking it can't be done. I think too many on here are underselling the coaching panel. Before the Geelong win many were still questioning Roos as a match day coach thinking he's purely installing a culture. Are we underselling the work McCartney has done with the likes of Stretch and ANB during the preseason and first 7-8 rounds of the season. Out of those 8 the Pies and North I think would be the tougher games but are winnable. North has owned us for years, easily pushing us off the ball but they are currently a mess. The GWS game is an interesting one, I say that because it's in Melbourne and its rd 23. Depending on where they sit on the ladder could determine how they attack the game. Could they be safely in the 8 and look to secure their first final regardless of the result and rest players. Could they drop there next couple and fall in a heap. RTG I have a brother who's a chef and doesn't mind a bit of the mushroom action.

Reasons I think we can......We don't have Grimes/Toump/Jones/Bail play. First 7 games in Melbourne. The ES hoodoo crap can just like the SS ended three weeks ago. We can get on our own roll. Salem and Kent to come back giving ANB and Stretch a rest. Obviously no more injuries would go a long way.

Those 8 games are all winnable, whether we turn up or not is a different matter. It's understandable that not many think we can go a streak because of the crap that's been served up for so long.

Why not? The win over Geelong showed that the penny has dropped with this group(by group I mean 2/3 of the list). Players like Angus and VB and Hogan turn up to win every week.

I think we can, having said that they're a key fwd away from being a great side. Poor goal kicking or lack of it has cost them three possible wins.

Next 7 weeks no travel, all winnable games. Barring major injuries we're a chance. Would love to beat pies/North.

Was looking at our run home, Bombers MCG Lions MCG Saints MCG Pies MCG North. MCG Dogs ES BLUES MCG FREO SUBI GIANTS ES I've got us 8 out of 9. Dropping the game against Freo.

Only two more trade/draft periods to go and the list and player payments will be in check.

Can you please ask what Grimes is on. Cheers.

Who is our recruiter/talent scout these days?

Yep he's on the list.

Who is Jack Grimes for 500.

I just watched it again....twice.

I thought GWS should of beaten Richmond if not for some dubious umpiring decisions/interpretations.

Anyone watching the Origin? Possibly some of the dumbest footballers getting around. In the news all week is the Gibbs v Schulz sling tackle and opponent getting knocked out, closely followed by (depending on where your living) the Alex McKinnon tackle/ Cam Smith story(Cam Smith was not involved in the actual tackle).Have the game on as background fodder, get out of the shower in time to see two NSW players pick up and go short of dumping a QLD player on his head. What part don't these players from both codes get? There's nothing tough about crap like that. The effects of concussion may not be known for some time, the dumping of a player on his head is just a dumb act carried by moronic bafoons which as we have all seen can have horrendous consequences.

I like it, except the French wouldn't have him.

Not really, please don't forget he was left out of the rd 1 team and was dropped once or twice after that and coming back into the side because of our injuries. How many of the other 17 teams would he get a game in? We need to move on. Would love to know what he's earning.

Is Grimes part of our midfield rotations?Grimes has had plenty of opportunities, we've seen what he can do and it's not enough. He is no longer best 22 and should be on the trade table at years end.
