Dead set, are they actually trying to antagonise their supporter base? Seriously, our media department can **** off until they #bringbacktheVFLreplay

They think we are Idiots and we are Dumb enough to believe the Crap they say:mad:
 
Whos the most likely to help Darcy Moore as a key forward?

Taller down back with Goldsack, Dunn, Schade, Howe (not huge at all) but no key fwds?

Surprised Mason Cox didnt get named

or has Nathan Buckley spun the magnets and decided to go small and quick vs the hawks slow backline - could be a master move that hangs his career right now

Knowing Bucks - Blair
 
The most unlucky thing about that incident was that the umpires completely ignored a blatant two handed push in the back of Schade in the marking contest that shifted the whole pack a metre forward and resulted in Schade missing his clearing punch of the ball.

There was about 4 free kicks in that passage of play. Hands in back both by Lobb and Cameron to pies defenders, Patton jumper holding Dunn and then Patton being counter jumper held by Dunn.

Still no Schaz. Hmmm. On a purely personal level, this is starting to get awkward. As part of this year's player sponsorship, I won the 'have breakfast with the player' prize, and will be meeting Schaz for brekky (along with robertg22) on Thursday 8 June.

I originally planned to discuss how well Schaz was going in the seniors, but am increasingly worried about the direction of the morning conversation:

Me: How are you enjoying playing in the VFL?

Schaz: Not much.

Me: How are you enjoying your time at the Pies?

Schaz: Not much.

Me: How are you enjoying living in Melbourne?

Schaz: I prefer Adelaide.

Me: This toast is nice.

Schaz: Its burnt.
POTY.
 
I can picture Vicky Park and Magpie Girl shaking their heads at us in a way that only disappointed mothers can do.

Well they know I'm a bad horse, so some misbehaviour should be expected, but I'm half lovable colt too. So spare the riding crop.

On second thoughts, maybe I need the riding crop just a little
 
Hardly anything new Apex. Some of the finest trolls on our board work for them. You should try asking them nicely and maybe they will #bringbackthevflreplay

Who?
 
Suprised we didn't bring in Cox, but to be honest I am glad we didn't.
Treloar an automatic in obviously, but I thought we could have seen Scharenberg given a go.

I would play Howe up forward this week. Out of the goal square and Moore at CHF.
Dunn, Schade and Goldsack can play on Roughead, Gunston and Vickery.
Greenwood to run with Mitchell/Burgoyne or even Hodge.

How I would like to see us line up:

B - Goldsack Schade Maynard
HB - Adams Dunn Aish
C - Wells Pendlebury Treloar
HF - WHE Moore Sidebottom
F - Elliott Howe Fasolo
R - Grundy DeGoey Greenwood
INT - Crisp Phillips Smith Blair

Maybe BringouttheGimp is in the employ of the club. His job is to say so many outlandish things that the more reasonable among us will recoil at his sentiments and revert to a pro-club position.

Sorry Gimp, just a theory. Keep up the good work.:thumbsu:
 
Still don't understand why people keep suggesting Howe up forward. He's probably in AA contention as a back at the moment.

It'd be like Geelong and Harry Taylor as a forward. A waste. *

* happy to be proven wrong if he swings forward!

He was no good at Melbourne in either position. He'd probably kick 80 goals a year but we'll never know because our coach doesn't like change.

When discussing Mason Cox earlier in the week I hadn't realised that the hawks would be without there best 2 key defenders.

Given that situation it probably is somewhat strange we haven't gone with him again after his 4 goal VFL performance.

He has been named an emergency so it's possible we're going to wait and see how the weather unfolds on Saturday.

I don't mind trying a smaller forward line though I feel one of either Crocker, Mayne or Kirby should have come in to bolster the options.

Mayne would bring the experience, Crocker another strong marking mid sized forward or Kirby as a a point of difference because outside Sidebottom we have no talented *crumbing forward option.

*Brown and Daicos could potentially play this role also in the early stages of there career.

I think if Mayne had come in, no one would've went to the game.

Didn't realise making comments like:

1. Buckley should be sacked when i first opened my act on here (2015)
2. Frost is shit and should be traded (2015 when everyone was head over heals in love with this bloke)
3. Aish should be played at HB (comment made at start of season and continuously throughout the season when others gave him the flick).

Were so outlandish.

More outlandish comments.. as follows:

1. Greenwood should only play when needed. We have one grunt player in Adams.. we need an extra bloke in the midfield with class or at least offensive flair.. having Adams and Greenwood playing together does nothing for team dynamics but stifle it.

2. Howe should be played up front. 2 yrs of maturity at Coll.. we may just see him succeed as a forward yet.

3. Moore should be given more time down back.

4. Ramsay and Smith are no good!

Everything else is pretty obvious.. lack of kp players.. Blair.. etc.. not worth a mention.
