if you're right then we'll see where he lines up champ won't we
i still prefer his slick hands in traffic to release runners through the centre
seems like the coaching staff do too

Can you stop with the condescending comments? that’s fine have an opinion and l have mine.
Edwards is mr fix it. Coaches Play him where we need him most, not always playing on his best position.

EGirls weren’t missing their 2 best mids.

We’re a bit thin in the midfield imo.

maybe, but we don't rely on having to win clearances. have to pressure their disposal

Friday and Saturday should be the worst of the weather.
Should ease on the Sunday.

Better not be gastro weather

I think we need to crush Carlton and keep up with the top teams. Restricting them to a low score or a big margin is what we need. It’s pouring rain right now so if it keeps up then Carlton could be too tired to lift

Good try, since you can’t argue on point the only thing you have left are insults. I’m going to move on, suggest you do the same.

Teague is going to fire up the blues with us resting Dusty - will say we don’t respect them and think they are no chance. Let’s show them, etc. Straight from the Dimma 2017 playbook. Expect them to come out fired up!

And if I’m completely wrong on that, even better!

No doubt he’s going to use that to fire up the blues. Could work in our favour too, fire up too much and get tense they’re run out of legs, wishful thinking o my part, these guys are pros.

 

[Isntrue]

Blues won by 55 we didn't score till the 19th minute of the 4th

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

The blues are garbage we'll trounce them

 

[Lsta062]

Can we also win by ~90 points?

 

[Cevap_Roll]

Can we also win by ~90 points?

Unfortunately I can only see us getting to 89.

Where is the game day thread farkn

Aww only 89? Snap

 

[captain blood 17]

Hope so, or Balta be ready to take his place.

Is Balta back from injury yet? But anyway, Rioli is turning it around on the field and starting to look the goods again. I’ll back our match committee in. They get it right most times as our on field success indicates.

Often like your no-nonsence posting. But this one was a bit thoughtless. Below is Whateley's wiki excerpt. If you want to post yours, we can compare the relevant weights and discuss. I'm not a fan of Whateley, but I do think he brings intellegence, sometimes even when it's not wanted (by Robbo mostly). He's a journo, it's tough gig. I have a daughter doing Journalism and Political Science, I hear first hand how hard it is, so am loathe to criticise what I can't do better.

(Wiki)
Career
Whateley started his media career at the Herald Sun newspaper. He spent six years at the paper during which he gained experience including police rounds, courts and state politics.[2] He was also involved in the research of the Herald Sun's hardback book Our Home Front, documenting life in Australia during the Second World War from the newspapers of the time. Whateley became the paper's movie writer, then editor of HIT magazine (the Herald Sun's movie and music lift out), prior to being appointed senior writer for the newly released Sunday Magazine in 1998. Whateley travelled to the US and Europe, interviewing some of the world's famous people including Steven Spielberg, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kevin Spacey, Morgan Freeman, Geoffrey Rush and Cindy Crawford.[3] During this time, he was heard for the first time on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) with a weekly segment reviewing videos on the afternoon program.

Whateley began to focus more on sports, writing regular in-depth features and gaining access to the likes of Wayne Carey, Greg Norman, Damien Oliver and Jacques Villeneuve along with covering football as a "second job" for the Sunday Herald Sun.[4]

At the beginning of 1999, Whateley took up the job as the network's senior sport reporter for Channel Ten. His chief responsibilities were to cover the Australian Football League (AFL) and horse racing. At the completion of his first year, he was named the Young Journalist of the Year at the Melbourne Press Club's Quill Awards. He was also named the Network Ten Young Achiever of the Year from nationwide consideration of employees. Whateley earned a reputation for authority and accuracy, enhanced at the 2000 Olympics breaking a series of stories surrounding the drug use by competing weightlifters.

In 2001, Whateley accepted the chief reporter's position at Seven News, winning the Quill Award for the Most Outstanding News Report for an investigation that revealed a wanted US criminal had lied to enter Australia to win a Melbourne radio station's Valentine's Day competition.

Soon after, Ten reclaimed Whateley's services to be a foundation member of the network's AFL commentary team. He later joined ABC Radio's AFL team. In his inaugural year calling football, Whateley was named the Australian Football Media Association's Most Outstanding Radio Caller, following in the footsteps of Tim Lane. Throughout this time, Whateley's horse-racing work in print, radio and television was rewarded with numerous awards, including the 2004 Cox Plate Story of the Year for the ABC.

Whateley joined the ABC full-time in September 2004, as lead sports broadcaster in Melbourne, and a national caller of several sports including AFL, cricket, horse racing and Olympic swimming.[5]

Whateley was a regular panelist and occasional replacement host on the ABC's Sunday morning sports show Offsiders since its inception in 2005. He became the show's host from the beginning of the 2014 season[6] and continued in the role until his departure from the ABC at the end of 2017.

In January 2018, it was announced that Whateley was departing ABC to join Melbourne sports radio station SEN 1116, where he would become chief sports caller and host of a new weekday morning program called Whateley.[7][8][9] The Whateley program debuted on 29 January 2018. Whateley's first interview on the new program was with Australian former tennis champion Rod Laver,[10] discussing the previous evening's Australian Open tennis final. The same edition of the program also featured an interview with 2018 Australian Open men's champion Roger Federer.[11]

Whateley hosts Fox Footy's AFL 360 television program, which normally screens at 7.30 pm each Monday to Thursday during the AFL season. His co-host is Herald Sun chief football writer Mark Robinson. Whateley and Robinson began presenting the show on its debut in 2010 as a weekly program on Wednesday nights on the Fox Sports channel. In 2012, as a part of Foxtel's enhanced coverage in the new AFL broadcast rights deal, the program expanded to the Monday to Thursday schedule on the relaunched AFL-dedicated channel Fox Footy.[12] The show was named Most Outstanding Program at the Australian Football Media Association Awards in 2012,[13] 2013[14] 2015[15] and 2016.[16]

In 2012, Whateley wrote a book about Australian thoroughbred racehorse Black Caviar, Black Caviar: The Horse of a Lifetime. Later that year, Whateley rejoined the Herald Sun as a columnist.

Whateley was the winner of the Australian Football Media Association's "Alf Brown Trophy", awarded to the most outstanding media performer, in 2015 and 2017.[17]

Whateley supports the Geelong Football Club.[18]

He first met his wife, Claire, when they were teenagers at their local church parish in the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Mulgrave. They have three children.[19]

None of that enlightens us to his football playing history, fisticuffs experience or ability to fully arouse women, so Richoatthedisco's points remain unchallenged.

Good journalism is edifying. That said, a comic book can be as edifying to some as the Fin Review is to others. It's all a question of what you want out of a story.

Can't wait to see what is written about our Carlton clash with the players we have out.

Rarer and rarer by the day...long time since I have read anything in the printed commercial media that is illuminating! Other than Cooking Recipes!
I use to love whatshisname write about Footy and Footy players but he's gone now...

 

[Drofder]

Danger game. Wet. Slog. This is their grand final.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

I’ll never understand how people let it effect them particularly about sport. Or more to the point how they get angry at the journo.
I think it’s funny.

FFS it's called Passion you f****** ***** *******!!!!

A match committee is only as good as the players at its disposal....

Thankfully the days of bringing in Tom Hislop types are over!
