Bombay Airconditioning

Was only a matter of time. Is there no one at the club or in his family that can teach him the value of taking responsibility for your own actions. Weak.

I agree but what I find amusing is whilst scrolling through social media this morning the first thing I see is.... FB (9 News) : Greater Brisbane entering three day lockdown to prevent the spread of the UK virus strain. Insta (Melbourne AFLW) : A photo of the three Irish female players with the caption “En route to Aus”.

I’m assuming this is purely a rumour because it would be very disappointing if true. As good as Petracca’s 2020 season was (and yes he’s only going to get better) he was every bit a classic under performer up until then.

Oliver is out of contract end next season, Petracca the next. The timing of other players contracts will allow the club to offer them both good contracts. My concern is losing one of them from an inability of the team to perform or an from a rival club offer like the one with Carlton and Zac Williams.

I love the Weid and think he will become a great player for us, but I had to laugh watching his highlights....if the Ben Brown highlights were anything to go by some posters would have us believe that that was just more staging for frees and lots of double grabs.

A lot of discussion around TMac’s contract and how that may affect if at all the signing of Ben Brown this year and the re signing of Oliver next year and Petracca the year after. We also have Gawn, Salem, the Weid and Luke Jackson out of contract next year. I don’t see it as an issue, Gawn turns 30 next year and whilst still playing some good footy has had his payday, also as captain would be well aware of the importance of keeping the core talent together. Jackson is still finding his feet, for me Salem and the Weid are the interesting ones. But we also have to look at players like Lever and Melksham who both come out of contact in 2022, Lever will be 26 and will obviously play on but has cleaned up on his current contract so one would hope his new contract will be more modest, Melksham will be done. Harmes and Viney are on 4 and 5 years respectively but I think (guessing) their contracts won’t be crippling us. May’s got three years to run on big money and worth every cent. Langdon and Tomlinson are the interesting ones for me, can’t remember what they’re reportedly on. And as some have already alludes to, was missing out on Isaac Smith at three years a good thing. In short I think TMac will be traded, but should he stay I think we can still keep everyone happy.

I was telling my mates the same thing, both games we should have won quite easily but we didn’t.... Looking at our draw asks based on current form I think it’s possible to win the rest of our home and away matches.

I would put money on Geelong, Collingwood and Richmond to beat them if the finals were next week.

Would like to see pressure applied similar to that Collingwood on Thursday night.

In part I agree with what your saying but then I think with we’re at, we’re we’ve been at that every week is a test.

I didn’t end up applying, I wanted to take my fiancé who has been to a few games at the G with me on a guest pass, when we’ve flown down in recent years. I understand the need for social distancing but 200 tickets for each club....The ground has capacity to hold a lot more fans, a lost opportunity.

I’m a Sydney based member, I received an email from the club early in the week to go into a ballot to get a ticket/s to today’s game. I live 15 minutes from the ground so I thought I would apply, only to find out its one ticket per member. I understand the one ticket per member during the finals but this is a game against Gold Coast being played at Giants stadium. Not sure whether this an AFL or club decision but it’s a poor one.

Did anyone else see the photo of the lockdown towers this morning on social media. The handmade signs with the word “help” were replaced with words “sack Goodwin”. Full marks to whoever came up with that. Bloody hilarious.

So unlike Richmond to play on inside 50 and kick it to someone in a better position.

Time for Goodwin to go.

Sorry, just to clarify, I’m talking about Himmelberg from GWS.

What are our options? Weed will likely leave for nothing at years end. Throwing a truck of cash at someone is one thing, getting them to the club is another.

I saw him as a cheap gettable option. Kicked roughly 30 in 2018 and 40 in 2019. I’d be playing Weed all season if fit but we’re not. You would think he’ll leave at years end if that is still the case. Whilst I don’t think Jackson will need years to influence a game, he will be managed this year, not quite ready.

Have his set shots improved?

Would love to know what our salary cap looks like. We spent big on Lever / May, how much of that was front loaded. Many fans still citing we need a key defender and a key forward, we still lack midfield class. Thoughts on Harry Himmelberg as a fwd option?

Because four days isn’t long enough for an accurate reading, that’s my understanding anyway.

Not sure, I would say no. I thought I read somewhere on here last night but I couldn’t find it this morning, where someone said something along the lines of “being viral it can take days to fully infect your body, so a series of your tests could come back as negative, negative, low range, positive, even though you’ve had the disease for a couple of days”.

Barrett was on the channel 9 morning show and confirmed that McKenna trained in a group of 8 players after the Friday test. Did I read somewhere the whole team bar McKenna trained yesterday morning? He went on to say that Essendon players would be tested Tuesday and if negative were free to play against Carlton.

He could of had the virus days before testing positive, you can have it and test negative. The snowball effect from this is massive.

So Jackson played last week purely so he and Rivers had their debut together?
