Might as well play this game during the pre-finals bye, not like the Suns and Bombers are playing finals anyway.

Gained someone who speaks coherently, but that coherent speaker is a massive garbage human in Gary Lyon.

Jackson would be a massive upgrade on what Blicavs was. He is very mobile, great at popping up for a goal, but you need to pair him with a mobile ruck who can swap with him. If Blicavs retired and we brought Jackson into the current team, you could play Jackson on ball...

He won't be cheap though, and if we are complaining about Conway being fragile at least we aren't paying him a lot til he proves himself. If he was cheap I would be totally up for taking the risk. But Freo will want high picks and he won't have a cheap enough contract. This year is make or...

It was a rough rebuild, that one season.

Yeah but unless they have someone magically in the ressies who can do what Membrey did while King is in and out of the team constantly injured, their forwardline will just struggle to score.

Saints look horrendous, and losing King after trading out Membrey means their forwardline has absolutely no bite. They lost Battle, but got Macrae which isn't really the same thing. They will have to rely on what they did with us last year, play very very ultra defensive football and try to...

Saka is Arsenals best creative player, still leads the assists by 2x as much as the next player despite only playing 16 games, is 3rd in goals, is still #1 for goal contributions and was carrying Arsenal while Odegaard was injured. Once Arsenal lost Saka it was going to...

My Bombers mate said the same thing and now expects King to kick 6 or 7.

Gerard loves the word syndesmosis, no prognosis or anything but as soon as Oooooo Errol was tackled he immediately announced thats what it had to be.

Apparently its a thing South Melbourne did in 1975, red shorts at home and black shorts away and one of the Sydney higher ups had been pushing for it. It does look better. Hawks did it for a match too if I remember correctly as a throw back.

Who do we play as striker this week? One of the LBs? Maybe the 17 year old? Lets give Neto a run up top, couldn't be worse than Sterling.

No idea where the goals are coming for us. Man U v Arsenal feels like the movable object vs the stoppable force. Probably a game where first goal wins. If you have troubles sleeping, it might be the game for you.

Go back and rewatch the game, I did a year or two ago when this came up. He was the best big man on the field by a big margin.

One loss for the year says it all. That said I saw a sensible take on it from a Pool supporter on another site. Pool started the year strong, City did what they do and people assumed they would get cracking by the turn of the year, but Arsenal who also normally start strong got ****ed on by red...

Grundy had 7 stoppage clearances for the game, ruck isn't just about centre clearances especially considering the conditions that night. Grundy had 15 contested possessions and was going at over 70%. Blicavs had 1 kick and had 6 metres gained. So Blicavs clearances were handballs...

Most Arsenal fans felt we haven't been competing for the title since about November last season, or whenever it was Saka pinged his hammy. Can't win the league when 2 of your best players miss that much of the season.

I think the difference is between players being a "capable ruck" i.e can contest, even if they lose the hit outs, vs being non-competitive. Example being that in 2022 Stanley wasn't the best ruck in the league most of the season besides his purple patch, but he was never bad or...

Just rest Butters for the season before he comes to Geelong next season. No need to risk him at Port this year.

Yeah I forgot we were in the awfully named Round 0, last year we got that one week break between preseason and season. That said, Starcevich misses next week with concussion, they have a few other niggles and they had a short preseason. Whats Scotty say about not who you play someone...

AFTV are the worst of the fanbase, they need the losses so they can get the ragebait going for youtube and streaming. On top of that their takes are often dogshit. If they were around for the Invincibles season they would have complained about the amount of draws and that we...

Just like Nandos on date night.

In open play Miers is up the field and in midfield spaces all the time. I just don't know if he has the tools to be at centre bounces. Right now his best attributes are his dink kicks and grass cutters that never really go more than 30m, and his wicked endurance. Are they skills we need at a CB?

What losing to Essendon does to people.

I don't think Humphries has the body size to play mid, but off HBF he is free to roam up the field and last year/against the Bombers from what I saw he did. Miers could play midfield, im sure at times he will rotate in there, but then again the coaches have him at HFF and have him...

The only preseason result that would have me concerned for the season ahead would be if we got battered in a game by Richmond, who are going to be everyones percentage booster this season.

He is doing that Carlton Draft as well, imagine being the poor bastard at full back having to line up on Hawkins.

I mean we mocked it first with Cam Mooney haha
