Come on guys. Be positive. Now we get to see Carlton lose one more time this season.

 

[VelvetSledge]

HAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHA OH MY GOD LOL

God damn it.

JHF is so good. I wish we had a player like him. Big bodied, can take a big mark, good kick, can burst away from stoppages. North's list would look a lot better with him on it that's for sure.

Norf would have him and Harley Reid if they were not so incompetent.

Rioli an example of a pure footballer, rather than an athlete. Exactly the opposite of most on our list

He’s certainly not an athlete

We could have finished 14th and denied the Blues a final spot

Brisbane far from certainties

Freoington.

Think Lions will win easily.

They took the foot off the pedal in the last against us. If that was a serious hit out they would have won by 60 plus.

And would still be our best forward

This. Blues get Curnow McKay back and will feel like they got gifted a second chance

Brisbane are mentally weak. Forget the game against Essendon. They threw away a top 4 spot by choking to Collingwood and GWS in successive weeks. Thankfully Carlton need to travel to Sydney if they happen to pass Brisbane and they won't win that one. Carlton are no threat this year because they would likely need to win 3 away finals to make it (if Port beat Geelong which is likely).

I'm far more concerned about Hawthorn winning against Bulldogs, though I'm glad they play Bulldogs over Brisbane, Carlton and Fremantle.

That's enough from Longmuir, now, isn't it?

Freo has been rebuilding since 2016. The first iteration didn't materialise because they lost so many of those players. So they're working from the 2019 draft.

Longmuir has had them in the finals once since he started in 2020.

Clubs might be looking at the lack of interest in the Wet Toast coaching gig and becoming a bit wary of sacking coaches willy nilly

Why is the Massimo thread locked? Was just about to post that he's in the AA squad.

Well done Brad/Dodo

Sour grapes?

I’m sorry Dodoro has zero blame in this. It’s 110% Brad Scott’s fault

 

[Call Me Cake]

I missed the part where squad meant AA

Was always going to be given the nod in the extended team due to the hype as an underdog in an underdog team of rag tags but fact of the matter is Hawks have only beaten one team in the top four (won and lost V GWS) and have only played three top 8 teams in the last 3 months (bloos don't count) and have lost twice, and he's been poor against those sides when the team was down. True analysts wait to see good consistent performances against good sides before using a player as a standard.

 

[joey_jo_jo]

Only three rucks chosen in that squad, RoMo a bit stiff IMO and Briggs probably not consistent but is one of the most influential rucks IMO.

Make a new Massimoe thread then. We can have twice the melts

 

[mike14]

I don't understand the AA squad at the best of times, but if the position is "half-back flanker who sets up the attack" wouldn't Nick Martin (who doesn't deserve AA consideration) be a better option than D'Ambrosio, as he leads him in basically every statistical category?

 

[Rick Ross]

Definitely not saying Mass hasn’t had a good year but I think his mum and nonna are both on the AA squad committee.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Cam Rayner you are dead set taking the piss aren’t you..!?

This year they’ve beaten Dogs, Lions, Giants and Blues ..so four wins against top 8 sides. They lost by 1 point to Port and two points against Giants.

They beat Freo and Pies recently …if they lost to either then those sides also would have made the eight. Plus they’ve not just won a lot of games they’ve thrashed quite a few
