Under rated defensive game on Harris Andrews, constantly took him wide and kept Andréws in areas he couldn’t influence the game. Andrews has been dominant and controlling the last few weeks and a big key to their game.
Last quarter players got tired and dump kicked it to that contest which was...
Tom was awesome today. What seems to be getting overlooked is his game high 13 tackles. He tackled Brisbane stoppages into the ground. That is the equal 6th highest tackles in a GF, equaling himself from 2015 GF.
With Tay Adams out Mitch had to come to the party and he certainly did!
Grundy/Jackson/Logue
Melb/freo/Coll
Exchange of picks and salary
Heard it’s a distinct possibility. I do like Logue and will watch him carefully Saturday. He would have been a handy Cameron match up last week that is for sure.
Greatest Home & Away game win we have ever had. The combination of epic pain and misery inflicted on the arch enemy, the 1 point thrilling finish winning the unwinnable game, and the huge rewards of making top 4 will never be matched ever again.
Now Billy’s goal was good but it is only the Second best set shot from that pocket in a last quarter. Someone from the Qualifying final 2003 vs Brisbane may have the upper hand.
with our injuries it won’t happen soon but maybe when Roughead and Dean both available we need to look at shifting Moore forward to make us more dangerous. The game style doesn’t suit Moore’s defensive attributes which likes more structure and setup. However the way we move the ball forward now...
Hopefully it’s a favour to GWS who know he is only angling for Bomber land and they know Dodoro will screw them. Forces a higher bid by Bombers in return for maybe a non bid come draft time 🤫
Noble is serviceable, the reason he gets games is his speed and the fact the speedy forwards expose us often. Quaynor is the popular pick off half back but if Noble can hold that position IQ can become a weapon up field.
I don’t see much on our list that displaced him easily, perhaps out of the...
I think given Craig’s association with the Bris Lions sides that inflicted so much damage in the early naughties, it is only fair that our expectations of Craig is to deliver us two flags in compensation. It is footy karma.
In all seriousness it is a great common sense choice and will be great...
yes I think we all felt similar. Ed would always lead with his jaw to take the fallout for the club...he always did with mixed results. He would see it as leading and getting in the trenches he was not afraid to shed some blood but sometimes brave and stupid are mot far removed.
I liken it to...
Good knock Eddie, you tried your best and had a go which sets you apart from many others. You retired hurt and made some mistakes along the way, but those who are bold enough to make change and forge a way forward will always find it painful and make errors.
Those that look below the surface...
Interesting to see Joel Wilkinson’s story getting sweet FA coverage. Probably a more compelling account of prevalence of racism in AFL than H. Given the events of last week and an attempt to open the discussion was sunk convincingly by most who were keen on executions, I sadly don’t see Joel...
this is an understandable reaction. Why on earth bother to cause this grief when it was unavoidable and expected. It’s because great things don’t happen without pain leadership hardwork and courage. You don’t win flags without, how can you bring about major societal change without. You want to...
There is no question the clubs bumbling response was terrible and didn’t help. They were caught with their pants down and confirmed Maguire is yesterday’s man and well past what’s required these days.
However he is a volunteer at an understaffed organisation and they weren’t equipped for an...
Quite bizarrely the media and associated reactions confirm the accidental racist tag in our society is firmly entrenched, something I may have argued against until they clarified it.
It is a gravely immature response from an immature society with no hint of inward reflection happening which...
Yes exactly. This amounts to covering up and papering over the past and being able to say we all fixed now. instead of confronting what happened and starting that reconciliation process, it’s a key piece of the paper...fess up and heal, don’t pretend it didn’t happen.
Why isn’t anyone listening to Jodie? Why is the media ignoring the real message? It is disturbing me they are failing this badly and we are now seeing the heavy effects of the degradation of journalism in this country.
I think the media behaviour has set back the possibility of openly addressing and exposing racism in Australian culture and organisations a decade.
This whole thing has been hijacked and rail roaded to feed the news cycle by the media. They have lit a match in dry scrub and burnt some things...
Seriously though..........................
Lets rationalise all this.
Let be clear its a salary dump of epic proportions, lets table that and the club is lying if it is saying its not. Also, let me clarify that its OK to do this it is probably necessary and possibly clever so just own it. But...
I woke up in the middle of the night after having a nightmare about losing Treloar, Stephenson & Phillips for nothing.........then I realised that was yesterday.
Isn't 2020 shit, however reliably consistent and true to form so thats a positive right? We need a bit more Ned Guy positivity in our...
Not enough Monkey love in here. Monkhurst was a brilliant ruckman who had skills around the ground and was happy to throw his weight around. Premiership player and Vic ruck a few times. Easy top 20 for mine.
Please refrain from unnecessary apostrophe use in your correction of my incorrect assertion that a phrase was a sentence. Its is like hers, his, ours, theirs, and yours. These are all pronouns. Possessive pronouns do not have apostrophes. Because we change the spelling, there is no need to add...
Not sure who one the trade but you win the reasoning argument.
The likely players we had access to was far less than GWS, our opportunity cost means we did better than had we kept the picks.
It’s quite possible both sides won, there are no losers.
