Brisbane's most marks inside 50 ever today.

 

[The hands of stone]

There are three threads I hate on this forum

PreGame
Game thread
Autopsy

For years I’ve read “we need to play the kids” and constant criticisms of JOM and Tom

Now all I seem to read is criticisms of these same kids they wanted played and what a disaster it was letting Tom go

It’s driving me *ing nuts

The autopsy threads are a delight .

And Ive never learnt so much about rucks as I have in the last week

Don’t think it was ever just since us against Carlton in 2007 where we had 37.

 

[Billyc]

I guess thats where our salary cap position comes in . You prize him out with $$$ while selling him the mid-long term goal .

We could easily front end him but whether we want one player on huge $$$ is another discussion

Agree with the strategy, just don’t think it will work. Players tend to choose good sides

Same people who probably complained about us winning games late to miss out on better picks as well.

I think Daniher had more marks inside 50 during the 3rd quarter than we had in 3 out of our 4 games this season

 

[H00t]

Oliver has a poor game by his standards. Still ends up with 41 touches with 25 of those contested. Had 20 touches in the last quarter alone.

 

[Spursfan]

God I hate them, but credit where its due, that was a great performance.

Do you mean blokes like HodgeyRoad who spend the entire season bagging every loss and then doubles the bagging when we win those late games?

Its why there is merit for the NFL model .
If you finish high in playoffs you can only acquire a FA by losing a FA out .
You tend to get more players heading to the lower sides .

Isn’t this game meant to be sold out? Port might need to bring out the old tarps.

It's the rain.

It shrinks things.

Like Port crowds.

I remember a few on here said we'd be better than Essendon pre season, now is the time to concede that was a howler. They looked super impressive this arvo.

It's disgusting

Sam Draper playing decent as 24 year old ruckman

Essendon is playing out of their skins. On paper we are better though, unfortunately, the game isn't played on paper

 

[Randy Campbell]

We have a bad habit of having our legends leave with a sour taste in their mouth.

The ones that you love the most are usually the ones that hurt you the most.



Luckily for us, they use the better tasting 'Noble Metals' to make the Premierships medallions.

Sammy Mitchell your concern then ? Doing less with more talent ?

As they ****ing should be though to be fair ... they had the year we're having now back in 2016(?) ... Longest bloody rebuild to finally show something.

I agree they should be better, I wasn't one of the ones that predicted us to finish higher than the scum.

I live near big Kev, and on my daily walk I've noticed he's at home a lot more this year than any other. Reckon a bit of separation from that fruitcake is doing them wonders.

Your in fine form this weekend. A a loss tomorrow for the Hawks will put you on cloud nine.

 

[Rich the babe Evans]

Why the surprise at 24? That’s the age most good rucks break out.

Just joking based off the chat in the preview Fred for this week's game
