Before this happened, I'm sure you thought he did. But Lions fans will never admit that.

Umm no, read our board

I think Essendon is not far off the very best. Hawthorn game is a good example of that. But, we played so poor against Freo. Umpires may have been shit, but they didn't give 10 goals to Freo.

They'll certainly be in and around the top 4. My only concern with Essendon is Danihers youth and a lack of tall support to accommodate. Carlile's a good player, but can he be consistent enough up forward to cause headaches to the best defenses of the league. I still feel he's better down back....time will tell.

Your mids up up there with the best in terms of transition/fast break football, so you're not without a chance to go all the way....then there's Chappy.

Yeah same. I hated that we lost both Cramers and Gumby at the same time. Would have loved to have kept one just so we are not throwing Joe is the deep end too quickly. But, hopefully with the return of Bellchambers soon will help down forward.

Oh, Chappy has already been his worth. So happy that he has come across. Can see why he was and still is so beloved at Geelong.

I'm just happy to see him playing well and still capable of dominating matches. Whilst I was devastated to see him go, I can understand Geelong's logic. Guys like Burbury, Murdoch and the like need to play games to keep the club sustainable, with Chappy maybe playing one more year (2 at best) their development would have be stifled somewhat, so in the end I feel it was the correct call. Without these young guys getting valuable game time, I'm unsure whether we could remain in the upper echelon without sliding down the table.

Win/win for both sides.

Pretty shitty that Essendon get Good Friday football. Would've loved to have seen Norf v Dogs.

I think Hawthorn and Carlton asked for it a few years back. Was unsuccessful.

Should have gone one better and just made it Essendon vs Collingwood.

That really is a joke. They shouldn't be given rewards after their recent acts.

Demons Vs Saints would have been the best Good Friday match up.

We did? thought it was just North vs Blues from 2015. Is there a link any where I can read this?

Not the same thing. To be honest, I couldn't give a Swamprats arse about VFL.

Interesting

That's the front runner I heard.

Whoever the second team is, North deserve it more than anyone else. They've been pushing for it for twenty years and they play a brand of football that will get people watching.

I think Essendon and Collingwood should be ruled out of any running because of Anzac Day. The ideal would be a match against Hawthorn or Geelong for gate but the Blues or Dogs may need it for differing reasons.

Geelong v Hawthorn have Easter Monday as their blockbuster, besides that, good Friday is about the children....give that they may grow.

So the Bulldogs then...

I'm not fussed who plays, as long as it's not Geelong.

SO is it Juggalo Balla who posts his tips each round in here?

For tonight clearly Richmond by UNDER 39.5 points would be the obvious pick. I'm going with that.

Rest of my tips will be posted during tomorrow sometime.

So much punting value this weekend

 

[A Bit High]

Oh FFS DT

Last week you bent me over with my Hickey to Mumford trade while having Currie as back up.

Now this week I intended to go Mumford to West (not spending money on Rucks, they can kiss my arse) and Rohan to Lloyd.

Now Tom Mitchell is out so I thought OK i will just bring Rohan back in (via reverse trades) and do the TMitch to Lloyd trade..........Since learned that Rohan is also out.

This is such a cruel game at times......Lucky I don't have Caddy also
