Super happy to have Tim back. I really hope he is all good that was a huge blow and it’s excellent to see player health put ahead of the pressure to play.

Gee we are down a few good soldiers. Demons pretty much full strength.

They're minus Viney and Tomlinson two good players.

I think Melbourne will really struggle with Astro, Chill and Juice. They brought Petty in to replace Tomlinson but he's a green horn. They'll be super reliant on May and Lever and having three quality bigs down there will make them both accountable.

Plus our forwards know how to work as a unit now. On the replay of the Saints match, you see McNeil almost run at right angles to the boundary line while Naughton comes straight at the ball carrier. McNeil’s man went with him (lest he give up a mark to his man in a hard spot) thereby dragging an extra defender away from Naughton. The alternative would be McNeil taking shots all night from uncontested Marks. If we can give our talls some room to move, keep their KPDs accountable and have the pressure and smarts from our smalls last week, then with good delivery in we should be doing ok. Assuming we kick straight.

The Sweet/English era begins.

The Sweet/English era begins.

I’m excited, but ‘Sweet/English’ sounds like a country pub touring tribute act of 70’s & 80’s music. Where the last two songs are ‘When I see you smile’ and ‘The Ballroom blitz’.

Like the team considering the outs. It's time for Lippa to stand up.

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 11 Vs Melbourne 2021

I'm really glad Lippa got selected, he deserves a chance to have a crack as an inside mid given it's been his best position at the lower level and he's - albeit with some flaws - had a genuine crack at trying to be a different kind of player when playing seniors.

Interesting comments from Bevo on the radio today around wanting players to play given how good they are and trying to find positions for them. He mentioned Dale, B. Williams and Ed Richards as players who were too good to leave out of the side and thus were shoe-horned into roles that may not really suit them over time. I reckon this is something that Pat's had to deal with.

Let's hope we blitz the dees.

Are you ready Chilli, Jordon, let's gooooooooooooo
