Smoking what are your thoughts on the KPPs down at OMs. They looked a little on the small side last year...having said that its very very hard to judge when you only see them a couple of times.

Yup, It won't load of my pc or phone so i'm guessing it's an issue at the VAFAs end.

If OM's perform like they did against SKOB in the granny every week then they are with a chance of being top 4.
Problem is that they'll need to bring the same grand final intensity every week which isn't sustainable and simply won't happen.
I'd expect OM's to get plenty of lashings during the season but will win a few games here and there and may even upset the SKOBs/OXs/UBlues on their day.
End of the day, I'd say they will be one of the teams fighting relegation rather than fighting for top 4.

They were like that last year Chazz.
Saw them absolutely taken to the cleaners by SKOB at King during the year. They may have had a few out but it was just their lack of intensity and any semblance of system that made me believe they wouldn't make the finals let alone perform the way they did. Still can't believe the turnaround.

Yeah right, dribble. You just said OM's were the better team on the day in the GF!!!!! LOL.
How's my mate Tom Paule going?

There wasn't much competition last year though besides SKOBs dominance, STB's were quite young, OB lost plenty through injury and Ajax were... well Ajax.. so it wasn't going to be hard to make it into the finals as long as you beat the bottom teams.
It was a good performance by OM's in the granny but they were lucky to be playing at TBO where it was going to suit them. They would have been torn apart had it been at EP. I also believe the gorilla on SKOB's back played a part in their performance but at the end of the day the cream rose to the top.
I thought STb's performance in the semi was more impressive. Not sure what happened to them in the prelim? Thought they were clearly the 2nd best team for the year.
Anyway, OM's had 12 wins and 6 losses and a % of 116. They couldn't kick scores. I think that'll be a big issue for them this year.

Heard Milne on SEN 1116 spruiking Beauy and inferring he was going to play I believe...didnt get it all. He and Schneider good pickups.

Great pickup on field but didn't realise he was 36 years old.
Agree with Briza here. The better team on the day won. Despite playing a shocker for them.
Comparing these two teams in 2016 will be like comparing Hawthorn and Carlton.
Re Paule...GUN. Big V VAFA modern day great. And a ripping bloke.
Yes... A real good guy I agree

$6 for SKOB! Overheard at the CommBank in Glen Iris...
"Congratulations Mr Speaking, your second mortgage is approved"
From memory SportsBet are usually around the mark. Swap SKOB and OT IMO
IMO OT, Blacks, Collegians should be lower- OT maybe far lower- some seriously big outs there. Gabe Hamilton jumps to mind.
Speaking to a Hedgeburner at the pub the other day and he tells me that they are flying. Captain Courageous back, Steinhart back, yes they have lost some goodies, but very upbeat.
I don't have them in my 4 as I think they had a great run with injuries. If they had copped what a Xavs or Blues copped all year with injuries, they wouldn't have made finals.
But certainly a little hard to guage them. Mid table for me.

Iezzi did an ACL mid year? I've heard the opposite, that he was taking the whole year off to fully recover, which would be a very smart move.

Aiming to play. Not flying. Still at straight line running stage. Won't see him till at least half way.

T's went 9-4 sans Iezzi, would think of him as a handy recruit on last years GF team. Although their aforementioned losses may be hard to cover.
