Hard to argue, personally I am find if McKenzie goes, he reminds me of all the things I disliked in Brennan

Jesse Lonergan has the highest average of frees against per game than any other senior player this year, and by god it *s me off. He's a hard player but so completely undisciplined it's unbelievable.

CUT IT OUT FFS

Yay! Just signed up for mine. 1 week turnaround apparently.

Also signed up, don't feel I'm getting much else out of my membership this year... That's something

I don't know if it's the same for unleaded fuel - But stay away from United fuel if you are filling up with diesel.

 

[Experimental]

I generally only fill up with United e10 - couldn't fault it.

 

[Sunizzle]

I can't believe it, just devastating news. RIP Phil.

Damian Barrett said on triple m last night that there are 8-9 players from gc looking to leave.

- Sam day gone
- Daniel gorringe gone
- Charlie Dixon gone

Jaeger omeara!! Apparently looking to move to Melbourne.

Brian Taylor said he saw a meeting with Sam day AND another suns player who he didn't name meeting with a Melbourne team.

 

[kreglze]

I listened to the same thing. He said up to 8-9 players, to be honest if they aren't committed then they know where the door is. Jaegar was buying property, which heaps of players do.

I wouldn't say panic stations yet.

 

[Experimental]

Couldn't really care less about Gorringe. I don't think anybody cares, nor is it a surprise. I think we've all basically conceded that Charlie is leaving anyway.

Very much doubt Sam Day would be actively looking elsewhere though.

Just another sensationalist bullshit story from Barrett the *******.

 

[SandyToes]

I think Touk Miller needs a rest
Maybe a straight swap for Harbs
If Saad doesn't get up does Tape get another run, or will they bring back Shaw or Glenn?
Will we drop Brooksby for Wright
Harley for Lonergan

 

[SandyToes]

Watching the replay Touk wasn't too bad and you could argue getting games into him is worth the potential downside
I missed Brooksby's 2nd goal as I was doing The Giant Slide out the back with my young fella
Keegan didn't disgrace himself watching the replay
Mackenzie and Matera weren't any better on 2nd viewing

 

[SUNS]

Watching Essendon now, I would say we would start favourites against them. They look a mess.

 

[kreglze]

I reckon if we play like that the rest of the year we could have 6/7 wins by the end of the season which would be a good turn around.

I reckon we play like that, we can win all our games.. Richmond is tough depending on which Richmond turns up. And Sydney last, could be a lot easier if they already have their top two or top four spot stiched up.. other than that we can beat any of the others based on last night and this shift in attitude... or quite possibly I am optimistic bordering on delusional..

Should hopefully be our biggest game of the year. Essendon FC hasn't played at Metricon since 2013, and haven't played in QLD since early last year.

Dons fans are pretty tribal, so I imagine they'll show up in force given QLD fans haven't seen a game in 14 months or so and it's their only 2015 QLD game.

 

[kreglze]

I'll be at the G to cheer on the lads. Hopefully to a good win.

 

[gcsunsfc]

We've got some pretty unique talent which has a resemblance to Premiership teams of previous years

Defenders:
May - Our J. Leppitsch
Saad - Exciting, can turn a game - unique
Kolo - Our Corey Enright

Mids:
Ablett - Unique
Swallow - Our Lenny Hayes
Harley - Our Jason Akermanis
Prestia - Our Luke Power
T. Miller (early call - but) - Our Shaun Hart

Forwards:
Lynch: Our Riewoldt
Dixon: Our Alistair Lynch

If we kept that group together I think we're in a good place.

I've always rated Aaron Hall's work ethic, but could never trust him to kick straight. He has this incredible ability to create space, break through packs, and break away - consistently. I love that about him.

But his kicking is ******* shocking. It's not always just a s**t kick, it's just been a s**t decision in who to kick to.

Last night he proved how destructive he is against the opposition. He was one of our best last night, and for once I didn't cringe every time he got the ball.

Bravo Hally - at least one of the Halls is now worth keeping.

Always seemed to have the tools, just not using them properly
His challenge will be bringing that game on a regular basis

Just on physical development, I can't believe how Slim Schadey is filling out
Would love to see some before and afters since he arrived at Metricon

I thought it was very amusing when Dermott said he could stand to put on a few kilos last week or the game before, obviously hadn't seen him before this year

 

[Herbs]

Do I feel bad for Essendon?

Nope.

Nope.

And it's hard not to feel some schadenfraude regarding Goddard eh
