1. politely cancel the commitment with sufficient notice (e.g. 2 weeks) OR 2. Turn up There is no middle ground.

so they tried to reschedule 2 weeks before. If the organizers say no, did our boys say well in that case we can’t make the session or did they keep the commitment. 2 weeks is plenty of time to find alternative players if ginni and wiz pulled out at that time, that’s on the organizers. but -...

Make it worth our while or bugger off. they will overpay to keep the window open. i’d prefer no deal though.

Unpopular but I like the sub. I hope it stays. When we move to 5 interchange, talk will inevitably turn to the concussion/injury sub again.

Earlier this year I was optimistic the cliff was finally here - the losing streak after the 7-0 start looked very ominous. But the strong late season form and finals wasn't driven by the same old faces - Hawkins didn't play, Stewart's influence was very reduced, even danger was in and out of...

to be clear, i don’t want to weaken it. If he stays that is good for us, ready to go back up and a young bloke who hopefully has more upside. I was just saying think we need to be realistic that ned is likely to be pursued and if i was in his shoes would jump ship. Also saying that if that...

He is pretty equivalent to soldo and i think that says enough. I’d argue ned is near his ceiling. if it’s not next year that ramma passes him, it will be the one after. i can definitely foresee a circumstance where given the opportunity and some strong box hill form they decide to give the...

3rd round for reeves - pick in the 40s - he’s not a proven afl player or showing huge scope to improve - nobody is giving more than that. yes we can hold him to a contract but maybe we would prefer the list spot and think we can cover the ruck adequately enough with others.

Is he? Pretty equivalent i reckon. He was our 2nd ruck and we’ve just extended our 3rd who we will probably play ahead of him from here on. this would mean ned is our 3rd string ruck moving fwd - hardly solid ground for anything more than a pick in the 40s.

as we used to say, port are all piss and wind. Lots of ra ra but no real spine. go swannies.

i love frosty and super happy he got some recognition this year. But next year is likely his last with us - he is getting older, we’ve brought in others and there is blanck and mccabe coming through. So if he wants more contract years, not saying he does, then i think we let him go with our...

Thought he was far from our worst. Will be a player.

His first half tonight was outstanding. He’d be disappointed to concede the pretty much uncontested mark to georgiades late but he was pressing hard at the death with couple of inside 50s. Much better defensively but will benefit from barrass and battle taking most of that responsibility

if they say 14 days was a critical motivating factor that says a lot about them as a backward bunch of simple bogans. Give me a break - if you need to use that to manufacture some us against them you are going nowhere as a football club. i just fn hope they don’t wind up in the gf against...

on their terms all night and we nearly won. Be better equipped next year to deal with that type of game. Lots of moments that cost sicily missing moore rushed his shot and generally off all night hardwick kick scrim poor with that last georgiadis mark impey and others trying a little too much...

similar to the dogs of 16 and tigers of 17 I feel we get stronger as the game rolls on. weather the early storm from the power, get a foothold in the game and find our rhythm. We will finish the game strong.

serong can’t play the anchor FB. We’d need someone like scrimshaw or even sicily to play it & that robs a strength. Phillips plays the role at box hill, need to back him in. if we get the rest of our game right it won’t hurt us much against port, even against the swans should we progress...

I’ve been thinking since friday, amazing experience to be in a 97k crowd with overwhelming majority support. Never really felt that before - i hope something truly massive is awakening with our supporters and that the ‘hokball’ brand gets more people to games and more people in the brown and gold.

Just a 100% bona fide A grader and leader who was aching for the opportunity to impact finals. Made for it. Same same but different to hodgey.

i like this, gws have geelong covered if they get there. As big an event as it would be, prefer to play the giants in the GF. Syd will be difficult for us - interesting to see if we can find the space to run on a short but wide ground

i love this football club in a way that’s unhealthy. the skipper was outstanding. We wore them down and ran away with it - i couldnt be more proud. i was borderline tears in the 3rd qtr when we rammed it home.

port are pea hearts. We will smash them if we get over the line tomorrow

ward for mackenzie like for like the choice is harry vs CJ, my preference would be to play them both and drop finn but doesn’t make sense positionally. i think Harry will be (very) unlucky but the miles CJ covers will help defensively and on the spread. Finn can play multiple roles, just hope...

My pick for BOG is the skipper - been nursing himself to this line and will let it all go. Blonde prince is made for september. He’ll set it all up and if we put pressure on will intercept all night. they’ll struggle to cover our fwds - particularly chol and whoever is on bramble. Needs to...

brian was the wrong match up, beats bud in the air but that was only 10% of his kit bag. Better the mobile type who can compete in the air. Someone like frosty.

i think the talls vs our undersized backs is a distraction. We’ve dealt with that pretty well all year. Hogan got a hold of us but i’d argue the critical factor was our inability to stop the giants transition / ball movement late. Against the cats, we were bullied physically at the contest...

I think only 1 of Phillips, DGB and Serong will be on the list next year. I think the preference is for it to be Serong but despite being contracted why would he hang around for 1 year when another club will probably give him 3 years? You could see him joining his brother in WA as part of the...

A genuine A grader at Port, sadly only glimpses of that with us. Some really good months here and there, particularly 2021. He seems like a super bloke and clubman from a distance. Always tried his guts out when out there & obviously not his fault that his body failed.

ward i’m confident will be at worst a solid afl player DGB i reckon is tied to serong and phillips. If serong seeks opportunity elsewhere and we decide phillips is done, then maybe denver survives, just. While we have battle and barrass, there must be uncertainty around blancks recovery...

team is pretty straightforward i reckon Day for finn if fit CJ for a very unlucky morrison if fit. Bruest sub Even if worst case Day and CJ miss, i’d strongly consider ward over finn.
