Isn’t Hogan meant to be s**t? That’s what the geniuses on this board led me to believe, starting to doubt their wisdom
It’s a shame Freo got rid of him at the end of 2020 when we weren’t willing to compromise on what he wanted to take him back. Had it been after 2021 we might have been more...
May plays well and Curnow shouldn’t be kicking more than two goals. And Carlton aren’t kicking a winning score without him.
Even if May has a mare you’d hope that our midfield is at the very least capable of stepping up and breaking even with theirs (if we don’t just beat them in the middle...
Yes with your rationality but the emotional high/low of beating or losing to Carlton is far more influential wrt my mental state
That being said, I think if we’re serious we don’t lose. On paper we have everything needed to take away the strengths which Carlton have relied upon to hit form. If...
Isaac Smith retirement really illustrates the nature of luck in footy. Recruited as a mature agent and wins three flags anyway within five years with a club that probably wins them regardless, and then goes on to win a flag at Geelong after missing out on playing in our flag in 2021.
Compared...
Regardless of whether the award is meaningful or not the prospect of a Melbourne player winning it for the third time in a row and fourth time in six years is truly beautiful. Who could have dreamed of this ten years ago?
Only scenario where Tmac, Brown or Schache get picked is if one of JVR, Trac, Melksham or Smith get injured, or Fritsch doesn’t come back. I’d rather roll the dice on Grundy than pick one of those three as well. Even playing Harmes forward would be a better option.
The media narrative surely leans towards pumping teams up based on ladder position. Highly unlikely we win the minor premiership and only Petracca gets picked as AA
Surely you’d rather also see Fremantle lose their next three and big percentage and fall below Hawthorn. North to also win one of their remaining games if you want WCE to finish last
i can’t see Freo going past GC. They’re 4% and a win behind. WCE in form should be able to limit the scale of their loss to Freo, and I can’t see Freo beating Hawthorn at the MCG. Maybe they get over Port at home on form. But I reckon the Suns best Sydney, they’re a bogey team for the Swans...
No doubt he's a gun but needs to show that his form of the last few weeks is guaranteed for mine. Hasn't kicked more than 1 goal against any of the top 9 sides and kicked 1 goal total between rounds 9 and 16 (when, to be fair, we were in a slump). Kicking a big bag in the next three weeks would...
Also, I hope we're doing everything we can to get Zak Butters defect a year ahead of his contract expiry, while we have the draft capital, given how into him we allegedly were in his draft. Particularly if we end up offloading any of the cap space being taken up by Grundy/BBB/TMac.
He's a...

This side sees us through to the end of the season IMO.

If we can get Duursma and/or Caddy I'd be stoked. As it is, I don't see that Reid is that much better than Duursma so as to justify trying to trade up for pick 1 if Duursma will last to pick 4. Will spew if Duursma goes in the top 3 (or 4, if North get a PP) given that we would possibly end up...
Between Trac, Smith and Melksham who can all play tall they should be able to keep Weitering from owning JVR in the air. Carlton have played seven of the bottom nine teams since R10, you'd hope their defence would rank well. But generally speaking it's still pox.
Not that it matters if we finish top 2 anyway but the odds of the Pies winning two of their next three is pretty slim on form for mine. Especially if Essendon are playing for a finals spot in R24.
Harmes is so ******* bad it’s intolerable. I’d just play Petracca forward full time this week, no point bringing in Brown or Schache to stink it up this close to finals when their role will be lost to Petty or even Fritsch in a few weeks anyway.
Would also throw Smith forward and bring...
Good: being able to watch this team concede pretty decent deficits and still being able to be fairly relaxed because you can safely expect a comeback has been one of the most satisfying elements of the last three years
