I would have Cotts in anytime over Fantasia

I’m genuinely fascinated to see what happens with cotts. Not sure he’s a walk up start

 

[Bundy Bear Bogan]

Cmon Blues. Do it again

[Bundy Bear Bogan]

Marchy would be first in if Gov or Weitering were out

Don't mention the war

 

[GoBlues!]

I've been waiting a long time for blokes like Marchy and cunners to prove me wrong. I've decided to focus on the future with guys like Kemp and Elijah

 

[lily of laguna]

watch the game...

I didn’t watch it, and will defer to those who have of course.

But we all know that even amongst those that did watch games agreement isn’t always unilateral.

I’m not advocating for Kemp to be dropped I’m merely suggesting that the MC will have a pecking order and preferred structure and game plan. Form and health will dictate who plays, my issue is with writing off players who may still have plenty to offer this season.

Fogarty, Cincotta, Cottrell and Kennedy have shown us over the last few seasons that when opportunity knocks a player can change the perceived trajectory.

From the Ferals Board

The AFL likes a good charity match.

This is the McKay/Curnow one.

Not a good time for Blight to debut...

 

[Blues_1864]

He dribbled it like a basketball, gathered and snapped it all ine one motion. Unbelievable.

Kolodjashnij thought he had it in his hands - he was still looking for it when it bounced through the big sticks

I'm told Jobe is intravenous on both sides of his body.

EFA

 

[jj1978]

I hear they're going to leave the nets up behind the goals we're kicking to each quarter for safety

I heard they're just going to rotate Richmond cheer squad (what's left of them) to sit behind our kicking end.

 

[Ald Gardiner]

Is it just me, but I’m apprehensive about this game.

Tigs have beaten Swans at G and Crows in Adelaide. They had Cats on the run at Geelong too.

Our last 2 games against them have been a draw and a 5 point win.

I reckon last weeks meek surrender in Dusty’s milestone 300th would have stung them. I’m expecting it to be pretty close again, just hope there’s not an iota of complacency. $1.10 is ridiculously short for us.

Yes you've listed their 2 wins.

We have 10 of those.

We're 2nd for a reason, they're 2nd last for a reason.

The odds are there for a reason and those odds don't mean we expect to win without putting in any effort.

It's that if we put in the required effort and Tigers match that effort our footy comes out on top.

 

[DirtyLeeds]

The odds are represented by the volume of money being bet in one particular direction, not someone's viewpoint! Popular opinion has Carlton overwhelming favourites, and that's the most logical result......

I raised the 2 teams they have won against as we lost to both of them, I should have noted that.

It is quite surprising how many people do not understand this.

Because a lot of what he does that is of value to the team doesn’t appear on a statsheet

He's playing a team first role by filling space on the defensive transition.

He's not as good at it as cotts but I think he's doing enough on a pretty thankless role
