We've copped an absolute hammering injury wise and could already be at the tipping point.

I can see why you play Mullin and yet I'd much prefer to see O'Sullivan get a gig.

In:
Duncan
Bowes
Bruhn
Conway
Atkins

Out:
Dangerfield
Stanley
Mullin
Knevitt
Parfitt

that is literally changing the entire mid unit bar Blitz

And, in many jobs, two weeks leave per year.
Not sick leave. Not annual leave. Just leave.

* me, what a crazy place.

It is…we have good things and some not so great. Don’t wanna hijack the footy forum with our ills, just happy I found this great sport five years ago…

With you man, it's the same here except we're a couple hours ahead of Aus. Nearly impossible to watch weekday games. Too bad they couldn't delay the game a couple days, we've got a four-day holiday weekend next week.
Tom's big kick to win came on a fortuitous landing of the lunar calendar holiday. The wife and kid were away to in-laws and I had the house to myself. Might have startled the neighbors after the siren though.

BTW love the avatar

Thanks lol, that’s one of my favorite guitarists, the great Canadian Alex Lifeson!

because it's hawthorn ticketed and they have 70k+ members. it wont get 100k because they wont all turn up.

This is very true. Rekon there's quite a few that haven't turned up since we were good around 2018. Hopeless bandwagoners who aren't real supporters which is disappointing to the true supporters there through thick and thin. I'm happy to sit through some years of mediocrity knowing what came before it. Onto Monday we should be competitive at the very least after the pressure being put on the group internally and externally but I feel we will fall short by around 4-5 goals. Need our best players on the park as our depth isn't that great ATM.

It is bizarre that Sunday games have their teams announced on Thursday at 6:30 but Monday's game will only have teams announced the night before. Why?

Because Channel 7’s ratings are more important to the AFL than club supporters.

Yeah but its a net improvement.

I agree with that. A wonderful sense of optimism and can-do... you can keep your Electoral College though

Pretty bloody impressive that we have a midfield of 0 A graders and we are still 2-0 to start the season against two decent sides who will push for september.

We are a damn well coached side

Too many protein shakes and not enough bananas will do that

“We manage our list; that’s just the way we operate,” Scott said.

“There’s no point waiting until halfway through the year before you start that process.

“It just makes sense for us with that five-day break to start a little bit earlier and getting it rolling.

“There will be very few players that play every week for us this year.”

Mitch Duncan, who was a late withdrawal from the win over Adelaide after his wife Demi went into labour with their fourth child last Friday afternoon, is expected to return.
