I remember it well. Got to see a young Ronaldinho tearing it up on the Gabba. Hallowed turf.

Story out today that cricket may well be included as a sport at the 2032 olympics. With the Gabba being used for track and field would give a decent case for development of RNA. Pure speculation at this stage.

People hammering Joe (yes he had a couple of brain fades) and Eric but Naughton didn't do much in that game as the service both ends was horrid. McStay was our contested mark last year. With him gone and a lot of defensive heat and lack of rebound run in the demons/bulldogs games we have...

Jed Adcock as interim.

Luke Hodge?

We need to work on moving the ball inside 50 through run, carry, corridor and not turn it over. Its the turnover that has killed us this year. Throws all your numbers to the wind because you are allowing counter.

We got cooked a lot this year on turnover. Yes we need better defensive pressure and run but some of this stuff is chicken and the egg. We will be found lacking for defensive run when we keep turning over the ball. Particularly when going inside 50. The last few months I have been scratching my...

Cats may well and truly come out and show us that they are a force to be reckoned with tonight but I have to agree with you. I cannot get over how soft their draw has been. It bugs me soo much. I scroll through it on the afl site and just think is this for real. You can flog north and WC all...

If you go and look at the Cats season geez in hindsight such a soft draw. Eagles twice, North twice, Port twice, St Kilda twice (lost one). Their top 8 scalps which were about 4 wins all came at GMHBA. If we landed that draw would have been top 4 easy.

We got smashed at stoppage in that first half round 23. Effort was half arsed. There was one ruck contest where Gawn just stands there catches it and kicks it forward without contest. One where Oscar just stopped running cause he thought it was going out and Jackson chased it spun put it inside...

We forced them very wide for a lot of their scoring shots. Just happens that they kicked insanely straight. Thought we were in it bigly contrary to commentary. We owned the clearance and I felt controlled the stoppages.

I don't think the problem with our team is talent. I didn't want to believe it until the Melbourne game because for the last three years the team has been growth based and young. But by gee we need to get some serious sports shrinks into the joint and work out the mentality for these big...

We need a circuit breaker to stop teams smashing us on the outside mid. Could we bring in someone like Madden to just go on ball. Run and tackle your guts up get a momentum shift then take a spell.

A bit of perspective on Lyons He is 4th in the AFL for Center Clearances AFL Elite for Kicks(24th) and Clearances(4th) Above his career average this season for almost all stats

Would have thought beast mode comes in and plays that role that robbo was doing in the last quarter of the dons game. If we don't get clean hands on the clearance then lock it up or force it forward. Hopefully matho and Lyons can draw enough attention to free up Lachie to just run riot through...

Vic health minister telling people to work from home. Only a matter of time until the vic clubs are covid ravaged. No one is escaping the omicron BA4 and 5. Perhaps its better to get it done with now.

Im assuming the club/AFL have stocked up on the anti virals and all these players testing positive are hitting the meds fast. Surely they are not just riding it out?

I like fish and listen to the podcast follow him ect Was it a sub par effort from the lions though? From where I was sitting yes essendon moved the ball better but for me this is not about more running "try harder boys" This is 100% about centre bounce. They scored 7 times from centre bounce...

With the clearances I think its the center bounce clearance that is the big issue. If you look at the stats from yesterdays game they won the clearances 37-34 but if you look at the centre clearances that's where they killed us. Forwards are all isolated 1 on 1 and the ball goes in quickly. I...

Was at the game yesterday. Didn't think we were that bad considering the outs. First half they had more run and go than us but we were struggling to move the ball out of D50 as our ball users were not on deck. I think we lost yesterday purely because that Peter Wright bloke gave them 3 or 4...

Covid is absolutely rampant at the moment. And its by all probabilities the BA4 and BA5 strains which in most cases lead to some symptoms or disease presentation not asymptomatic. The vaccines are not protecting from breakthrough on these variants. I went to lunch in paddington 2 weeks ago and...

We’ve built a solid team and a great percentage style play. Give fages and this group a European football type season like best record after 32 games wins and we would be consistently challenging. Unfortunately we have stacked a lot of salary cap into our forwards and backs whereas other teams...

at least Lyons out will now force a midfield shake up whether for better or worse

why am I still watching this....

I know we play this grind based percentage style football that works more often than it doesn't and its clearly drilled into the players but we need some sort of circuit switch plan b type thing. Where we throw our formation around for a 5 min period and just play on at all costs and play some...

I think Jaxon needs a rest. Id push clug out to the wing/outside and bring matho into the middle. We need to win more clearance contested ball out of the middle.

Surprised Dwayne didn't mention McCluggage's goal kicking...

If Oscar goes down with a season ender in round 1 do you trust playing the entire season inc finals with Fullarton as primary ruck? Seems a bit risky if you want to have a full crack while zork, rich and neale are still around.

I think we need to address 2 areas and exploit another. 1. Midfield. Not sure if we can fill this in with other listed players or need to look outside. The way footy is going is you need fast hard youth that can run hard and win contested footy then kick quick balls into the forward line. I...
