    Then you will be pleased to know we turfed Gerry O'Neill in 1944.

        What's the story with Harmes? I would have thought he was a valuable in, particularly against GWS.

        The truth will set you free,
        but first it will piss you off. ... Gloria Steinem.

          May be Harmes needs some more K's in the legs before he gets another chance.

            I agree, getting through the game last week should have been enough.
            His ability to rile up and distract the GWS players could have been handy.

            I think the 3 weeks he missed really knocked his fitness around. He had some staunch support here on WOOF last week for a return but at the moment based on what I heard today is that we were unlikely to have any changes.

                  Harmes just needs to eat to regain weight if he had what a few people I know had. I thought he'd be close though.

                  As an aside, 3 massive outs for GWS.

                    So we’re happy with Darcy spending a third of the game in the ruck then? And Naughty playing the lone forward role in that time. Because this isn’t Essendon, we don’t have the luxury to play Lobb in the ruck from defence with that team picked against GWS.

                    Who’s matching up on the likes of Brown & Ricardi when theyre forward as marking targets? Cleary? Bramble? Grouse

                    Let’s see what happens but it looks like we got this wrong, as I expected we would after I saw the team last Thursday night. No one to blame but ourselves if it goes tits up - hopefully it doesn’t or we’ve wasted another good opportunity of a year

                      I may be old fashion but what happened with resting your ruck in the forward pocket?

                          I wonder if Harmes first up performance in the final last year went against him? I reckon it's still in the back of the coaches mind, he has missed a bit of footy.

                            That was a massive error

                              He does about 87% now what's another 13% sitting up forward. Isn't he a mid in a ruck body

                                How many of our Melbourne based supporters can't make it tomorrow because it's a Thursday night?
                                It's a massive challenge for the club to minimise Thursday night games for us
