He might be useful as a target if he can jump. but he looks so immobile he would probably be a liability up there.
If stewart had a scratch match this week he would likely be Stringers replacement.

That beard is LUSH!

Maynard was annoyingly good last night was beating 2-3 Essendon players every time.

I still think the Carlton match was partly stuffed at selection - not picking mckenna and phillips, but also we were very rusty without the continuity of games.

Yeah he was very good remember one occasion a horrible wet bouncing ball on the wing with Walla and another all over him and he came out with it was frustrating but very impressive. Was their best last night.

Good point about that 2018 game. We’d started the season so badly and that performance just came out of nowhere; I believe we broke the pressure index record that night. Last night reminded me of the way we played in the second half of that year. Including the Geelong game, we won 10 of the last 14, with all four losses to teams which finished the H&A season in the top four (three of them by less than three goals). A defensive game plan doesn’t have to be a reinvention of the wheel; if you tackle and pressure well, especially between the arcs, you’ll be right in the game. I will never understand why the coaches decided we needed to try something else at the start of 2019.

last nights intensity was great but then imagine slotting a couple of our injured blokes in as well and bringing the same intensity.

Daniher - Laverde
McKenna - Gleeson
Heppell - Hibbberd
Merrett - Zaka
Stewart - Townsend

Ha. We were both there that day. My first game. A mate of dad’s was a Collingwood member so we sat amongst the filth. Dad went into the members bar at half time to drink and play pool with his mate leaving me in the stands. Third quarter started and my father told his mate in typical fashion that he was not going out to “watch that rubbish”. So they kept playing pool. Ten minutes later they were accosted by a Collingwood committee man who asked why they were inside playing pool when Collingwood were putting on one of their best performances ever. The pool table was then covered and apparently it stayed that way during games thereafter.

Regardless of the magnitude of the loss that day I was hooked and determined to see my bombers make amends.

Eddie to come out say he’s proud of how he’s handled himself

Did he simply go through the wrong door???
