I’m thrilled to see Ash being named in the backline, thinks it’s absolutely worth a try. Totally different mind set required and you just get the feeling it could be a really good fit for him. Fingers crossed for him. Go Ash! Also, have really high hopes for Harry de Mattia as a long term...

Please all, be gentle with Ash. Things certainly appear not completely well with him at the moment, and there’s a very fair chance that’s a very big understatement. He gives the appearance rightly or wrongly of being a sensitive gentle soul and no-one even the thickest skinned people would...

Gawd there’s a blast from the past. vjknight, good to see you’re still around :)

Ah come on Beeg my man, if ever a guy is going to make it, it’s this guy! He’s an absolute natural talent, is motivated like hell, oozes enthusiasm and leadership, both in crazy abundant quantities. You can lock it in mate, he’s gonna be a star and a leader of our club!! Maybe you’re just...

Anyone know what number TJ will be wearing? ( sorry if already mentioned earlier ) Thanks guys Great pick up by the sounds!

Yep, makes a lot of sense for sure.

Without having read all the pages of this thread, is Reef an option - is he fit / injured?? If he came in, we’d be that bit less top heavy compared to playing Krueger alongside Cameron and Cox. Sort of guy he’d only need 6-10 possessions to kick a couple of goals. Any chance at all?

I just wonder how Mason’s glasses will be with rain all over them and then the bright lights bouncing of the drops in all directions. If there’s a late out, very likely him?

That was just a terrific win by the boys. So much to like about that. Strongish breeze favoured the end to which Casey kicked in the first qtr, and our third qtr effort holding them to a single goal whilst we kicked three against the breeze was the difference in the end. Things I loved…...

Seriously to me it just looked like he braced for contact. Did not look like a malicious act.

Reckon Bianco getting heaps of the ball too. Working really hard. All bit of a slog in the wet though. Not a scoreboard in sight though, is that usual?? Like being at a juniors game :) Btw, Reef was doing short sharp sprints at QT huddle and looked fine ( doesn’t 100% mean he is, but good sign)

Fair call yep he’s tracking that way, agreed. Just got a feeling he’ll seperate from that line of progress. Here’s hoping anyhow :)

Really looking forward to seeing the boys in action tomorrow. Very keen to see Ed Allan and Jakob Ryan in particular and also Fin who I’m really hoping has a long successful career for the Pies, when given another chance. Just hope he’s patient enough and keeps working really hard. Such a...

Hey Quicky, Hope you’re well mate. Sadly none of us outside the club will never know for sure. But purely statistically we are an extreme outlier over the past 7-8 years or so. It therefore does seem like it’s something more than simply bad luck. Gone Critical gave an excellent review and...

Hi Gaben, The numbers you quote look compelling, don't they? But, the bit I think you got wrong, is to be so literal with these numbers. Injuries are assessed as thoroughly as possible by the medical staff and then usually investigations to help guide thinking re the severity and hence the...

These injuries are so frustrating and imo have now undermined any real chance for us this year. I think this has now passed the point of simply being bad luck. As a simple statistical estimate, I reckon off the top, we have been in the worst 10% of teams for the past four years. That roughly...

Yep maybe Dave, but next year, when we will not be a player short. Through injury and unfortunate injury management, we are quite far enough behind the eight ball already! This year is upon us, let's not stuff it up like we did last year when we were effectively season over when his suspension...

Haven't read the thread except the post from Dubaimagpie which I thoroughly agree with. He's been punished for it now and likely club sanctions also - eg a fine - as he probably deserves. A club suspension unjustly penalises the club and its long suffering supporters. Just hope the club has...

Congrats Dave, you're a legend.

Glandular fever outcomes vary a lot. Some get the 12 month chronic fatigue variety- very few luckily Stacks have glandular fever and do not even know it. The majority ( that know that they have it ) it's usually a two to six week illness.

It's a great worry that Keeffe is being considered as a key player this year. He was a bog ordinary player before his two years out of the game. From a non footy background as he was, his lack of awareness was very obvious. Had absolutely no idea as a forward though at times he did do...

Travis Varcoe has been immense for us, his tackling and line breaking play without peer in our team. To me, those attributes are true onfield inspiration and leadership. I was absolutely not a fan of recruiting him, and happily could not have been more wrong! Love this guy and my favourite...

Thrilled with all the additions to our club Welcome to the best club in the world We'll be a force next year, no doubt in my mind at all. It's all about pressure and disposal we've picked up no end in this regard.

Thanks Kirby, I have a great respect for your opinion and that does actually make me feel a bit better! It is such a hard game to umpire.

Firstly I'm thrilled for the Dogs, like nearly everybody else, was really hoping for a fairytale and in so many ways it was. Pre game, apart from wanting a great contest, my main concern was that the umpires would not get swept up in the vast emotional tide that was surrounding the Dogs...

Don't worry about Matthew Lloyd Dave. I thought you looked pretty dashing actually. TV always puts on a few kgs. The passion was awesome :)

Best thing Bucks has done all year. Clear message that will invigorate the playing group, assuming they still have any real belief. I believe we are now a chance on Monday. Cloke has been like an anchor to this team for a long time, principally from a psychological viewpoint.

Thanks Temploar, that's kind. Gee you have had some sort of year!! You've obviously battled hard but gamely, against one thing after another. It's not really for me to say, but it sounds a very good thing you've moved away from your mum for a while. Hopefully that relationship will have a...

I've been well mate, very busy with work and kids etc Just recently moved down to Bruny Island to live, which is a pretty lovely part of the world :) How are you going Temploar more importantly? Where is everything up to?

Swooop is a Doctor and he said don't Touch it Sorry only just saw this, haven't been on much lately. Like most things in life, there's grades of things. The synthetic and hydroponic types are the most dangerous types by far. They shouldn't be touched ( in my opinion ) That's what I was...
