    Re: Footy isn't far away

    A Bundesliga club has gone with cardboard cutouts with their fans printed on them. Don't mind that - could even be a money spinner for the club. Pay $x amount to get your cardboard cutout in the crowd.

    As an aside, I just worked my way through The Last Dance and I've done a 180 with my thinking on this season. No mercy, let's go for the win and truly develop that killer instinct. What would MJ do?
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Re: Footy isn't far away

    So Hunter and Naughton are outs for the round 2 game (Lets assume we will be conservative with Naughty)
    Is it as easy as Richard or Lipinski and Schache as the ins?
    Duryea and Liberatore should be in the mix as well

    I suspect it's unlikely that we would drop players unless they have come back in poor shape

    I saw some training pictures the other day, I think Trengove has lost a bit of weight and is probably presenting himself in the best possible condition for consideration.

    Bully his team mates and lie about the ones he couldn't. Got it.

    The round 2 St Kilda game will apparently be on the Sunday night at Marvel and we will get a chance to atone for the elimination final loss v GWS in round 4.

    Why would Naughty be an out for round 2?

    His injury from round 1 hasn't progressed as hoped. Perhaps he is still a chance but he is no sure thing

    Really hope Bevo gives him a go. Plenty of bite in Trengove and reckon he is our best ruckman and 1 on 1 Defence for gorillas. Who does St Kilda have on attack nowadays?

    Tim Membrey and Max King, with the resting ruck Paddy Ryder/Rowan Marshall.

    Max King is too big for Keath, and Membrey is too strong for Cordy. Throw in a resting ruck and it's not a great match up for our defence (tbh there aren't many in the comp that are).
