I’m going to family day. I won’t commit to the other five but if you would like me to go to the Zurich tent and collect the first one for you I can do that.

That would be awesome! Thanks heaps.

No worries. I’ll let you know once I’ve got it on Sunday so we can work out how to get it to you.

Yeet

Yeet

Shut up

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Shut up

I deserved this.

On that note, I'm in NZ this weekend and I feel that PG is likely to only be able to procure a limited number of cups. Would anyone else who attends be able to fetch me one also? Will buy you a watered down Great Northern or Iron Jack or whatever rubbish it is they sell these days if I can grab it off ya at the 'G.

I can get two no problem. I’ll task my partner with independently claiming one also, since he is also a member and we both have rights to this quality giveaway.

Neither of us have a collecting gene so that would be fine. Also it’s good to have a focussed project to centre a family day excursion.

I now have an image of Ancient Demon barrelling some poor five year old out of the way to get the last Viney cup that he doesn't even want.

I had exactly the same image. Have made a mental note to arrive early.

Some may choose to brush the last two pre-season games off as irrelevant to the season ahead, but I have to say I see quite a few red flags that I think would be keeping Goody awake at night too. Maybe the players see the JLT series as irrelevant too after tasting bigger things last year, but what I saw over the last two weeks was a bunch of disinterested, tired individuals running around without any semblance of system or willingness to run into space for their teammates. Stood out like dogs balls after how switched on we were this time last year. I'm concerned about our lack of depth through the middle with Viney's durability a serious concern, now Harmes in doubt for rd 1 and no Tyson, Kent or Bugg to step in and play a fill in role. McDonald looks like he's carrying something or unfit and the whole forward setup seems completely disconnected. So many players coming off post season surgeries and the longer season itself have contributed to what I see as almost a "blanket of lethargy" that has affected the majority of the group.
Write this off as pre-season paranoia if you like but I hope goody delivers a cattle prod to each and every player before round 1 to fire them up cause no one can be happy with how we have attacked the pre-season this year.

You played your C grade side in the first game and then had fewer players than us in the second. Hard to make any assessments from that.

Did you change teams or have I just never noticed you always barracked for Brisbane?

 

[BG32]

Lost a bet I’d say

 

[TheCount]

I just realised that we've still got a spot on our list that we can fill by Friday. A few teams have/are looking to pick up an extra player in the next few days, tho at this point, it seems like we may be holding onto it for the mid season draft.

I think we'll hold on to it for the mid season draft and the club would use it to fill a short-term need (ie Gawn and Preuss get injured, etc). Your Carltons and Gold Coasts will look to top up but I think others will play it a bit closer to the chest and/or pick a VFL/WAFL/SANFL bolter.

I'm actually surprised there isn't a list clubs who've got the spot available, as I'm pretty sure not everyone does. But yeah, we've no major holes needing to be filled, no point doing it now. Unless we felt like plucking a midrange plodder from a State League to replace JKH

Probably just get in the ear of 4 small forwards around the country an tell em the most impressive gets drafted half way in

I feel exactly the same way. Even though I’ve watched none of the games

Clubs have been “asked” to embrace the mid year draft where possible. Similar to trading draft picks at the draft.

 

[Djcjdees]

I agree with stabler but it's easy to label it as MSDS.

I didn't see heaps I liked in either of the practice matches. Way too many missed targets all over the field and stuff all leading forward targets

Half the people complaining about preseason form were saying it meant nothing when we played well in it for the last three years.
