Talk about over confident! With Oliver I’d be super confident, without I rkn it’s gonna be an epic struggle! But like fact we’re 💯 gonna try to take on their ball mvmt head-on as Chaplin iterated in podcast interview. Gawn to kick 4 on Moore, Grundy to destroy Coxzilla, Dees by 8pts

His best point was about meeting pies attacks head-on and NOT retreating… Rest are a bit meh

Clearance and cont ball, well we did so against Carlton as it is their 1wood & clearances aren’t about the number it’s about the QUALITY ie back kicks forom an oppo clearance is often BETTER than winning it ourselves!

Yup, as I mentioned 2-3wks back BBB 💯 in after bye has always been plan! When is dependant on swelling of knee being right.. Melksham would’ve come in ahead of Smith but now Smith has the spot so he’ll keep it, he helped Fritta immensely, added some speed for pressure, contested at height with leaps & offers versatility if needed so wouldn’t shock me if Tommo goes and Smith plays fwd & heads back if Lever is needed to be freed up! But BBB isn’t done with —- played great footy early this year & finishes well. Right now I’d back Chandler to go for BBB round 13-15ish.

Spargo mustn’t be ready, playing it safe. Otherwise he’d be sub (emergency) so pretty obvious he isn’t ready folks

Poor bugger…What a nightmare!!! kinda love fact that Rick is just cruising in car w/Maysie though, brilliant visual.

I’d LOVE to know if he opens up re back issue, and confirms it’s impacting his down ability but seemingly not his reaching up ability — prob 10% chance he will give the truth re the injury as club is extremely conscious of OPP exploiting it but if ANYONE owns it, it’ll be Maysy!!! I would also really like to know his thoughts on how he’s feeling about Pies, Lions and how confident he is we will stack up and notably how he feels good clubs are exploring our ground-ball in D50 & why they all seems so supremely confident they can beat us by exploiting that and what club is doing to fix it 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Not being nasty, tonality can be hard to portray via message brother

Amen! The irony no one eluded too in his departure was that we DID want him to be part of our defence and FUNNILY enough that’s WHY he left — Buckley promised to play him as FWD. fact (documented) then after 2-3wks as a fwd, they said NOPE, Soz — you’re a Defender and that was that. So Roosy saved his career really as without those weeks as a DEF at Dees, who knows how he’d of gone at the Pies as a fwd, might’ve been toast after 2hrs 😂

Then he deserves a vote. Simples! Stop acting like your post had some insightful duality-based wisdom, you said something and I disagreed, no harm done bud.

Hurrah! Finally someone mentioned this. Hope he remains envious, has absolutely stuck boots in esp pre flag and laughed at his time and inc supporter digs, he can walk long on pier of short!

Doesn’t matter, he was still a major reason we WON the game! 🤦‍♂️

Disagree

Thought Petracca was fumbly, one paced & altogether off-boil LN

6) Gawn 5) Viney 4) Grundy 3) Chandler 2) JVR 1) Lever

Dees 65/35 zero doubt

Fox FAR greater than 7 in ALL manners

Scares the living Shizen outta me, so poor @ groundlevel down there, Salem urgently needed, Langdon needed down there more often, Bowey looseball game is suspect Howes might be answer.

Or in 22 like this: HF: Mcdonald Van Rooyen Pickett FF: Fritsch Brown Spargo

I think JVR still plays, likely as sub.

SuperCoach 2023 anyone???

Love this!!! love love love the positivity and word round traps re fitness base is we’re well past now marks set in 2021 pre season

Pies will 💯 fall back this year. As will swans

Read my report if you can — this is the exact highlight for me yesterday as I saw the exact opposite of this and keep hearing goodie has given into Ooze re more corridor and faster movement but also more backwards and switching to create space. Saw NO bombed entries to pockets at ALL and this was highlight of the day for me.. all long entries were to a player running toward goal ie streaming into 50 from centre or wing etc but very few kicks to i50 were to packs at all maybe 1-2 but mainly wings only not i50. Apart from that trial academy kid Cooper Simpson - wow he was sooo good - I didn’t even notice Zane.
