Johnson’s efforts in the IPL have not been something to write home about ..4wickets in 5 games I think
I kinda think Bartlett is a monty…but OMHO

Australia's brightest rising T20 star JMK may have to wait his turn for World Cup selection, despite already setting IPL alight

Blink, You could take Johnson but I’d have to say that Bartlett is very impressive with his swing bowling. And as the author said swing is more essential than pace in these games and on these wickets
I think Bartlett is a must.
I’m also not convinced about David , Stoinis and Green . Mostly, any one of the three will come in down the order so the question is who can give the most in a limited time
Stoinis went in at number 3 recently in the IPL to smash a ton. Looks good but who would he replace at the top??
But, it will be an experienced squad regardless
cheers

Indeed . Maxwell came home did he not? They are calling for Starc’s head in the IPL and Warner’s for has been down.

Scyphus, you brought to mind some good memories of Brad Ottens.
Indeed a special force for the Cats with his work around the ground.
Also agree with you on Blake

The Roar's AFL expert tips and predictions, Anzac Round: Who takes the biscuits on the season's longest weekend?

Hi L,
We will welcome them both down here to Tassy.
A good spinner like Kuhnemann is just what we need.
Hopefully young Prestiwidge has something to add as well
cheers

'I'm excited to challenge myself': Test spinner turns to a new state in search of greater opportunities

Don’t do it Macca 😂
No, you enjoy the match.. wish I could see it… as would my die hard Blue fan son

The Roar's AFL expert tips and predictions, Anzac Round: Who takes the biscuits on the season's longest weekend?

And that’s a fact. 😂
Here I am thinking that if you hit an opponent in the head 🥊 these days you are in serious trouble
At a minimum it was a fine but then they couldn’t let him off
Very lucky…but a Pandora’s box

Mixed news for Giants as Greene, Hogan Tribunal verdicts revealed

I didn’t disagree about Freo and Eagles injury lists in the past..well documented
Just saying..again.. that some missing injured players will improve Carlton’s stocks/structures when they are back .
For this season
But all good Don
They are not my team ..just my thoughts or opinion…humble as it is

Six Points: Greene lucky to only get a week, 2024's two best wins, and the moment that sums up woeful Roos

Does that mean the article was comical?

AFL News: 'Shame for our game' - legend unloads on Greene ban, 'world's gone mad' as skinfold tests punted

Couldn’t agree more. I turn the sound off if bet365 comes up on the tv plus Brown’s adds
It’s another addiction ..like smoking..that should not be banned
Now I’ll cop it 😂

'Murky decision-making, novice administration and unaccountable governance' - how the AFL has fallen

But they don’t have to be stars Don but are just the best players to help structure the team. Particularly McGovern and Saad in the defensive unit
Its a bit Like Freo missing Cox in their structure
I’m sure Carlton will also appreciate their first choice fwd crumbers back
I know that not one team has 22 /23 A graders each week .. or at all.. so to get those back who suit is a bonus

Although Don I have to agree with Macca here. In this season’s team the first five mentioned by Macca are in the Blues best line up.
Every team likes their back six stable and working well together.
2-3 out and you start over again
And every team likes small fwds with that X factor and so I’m sure they would like Martin there …and even Motlop for his speed and defensive work

Six Points: Greene lucky to only get a week, 2024's two best wins, and the moment that sums up woeful Roos

I agree. Iv’e said it on here before that he could be a ruck rover (old term) because of strength and pace.
He could be like Blivcas was to the Cats …leave Darcy behind the ball and Jackson can do boundary taps or fwd ball ups
Just think it would work in MHO

Macca, is Pittonet now causing you headaches over team selection
Would be hard not to be included against Cats. With Stewart out TDK could be a hard match up even though Cat’s backline play as an unit
Saying that I think the Blues need another quick on baller to assist Walsh and Cripps

Are you in recovery Laurie 😂

I remember them well…or I used to be able to 😂

Of a similar mind PB. Could be an age thing though 😂

Footy Fix: Ferocious, fast and fantastically coached - stuff the controversy, let's give the Dons the respect they deserve

I didn’t think it was a great game. Lots to be said about failings but it was a hectic game….
I think Bombers have used up their Get Out Of Gaol card 😂

Footy Fix: Ferocious, fast and fantastically coached - stuff the controversy, let's give the Dons the respect they deserve

Good reason

Footy Fix: The Saints were ten times as rubbish as the Dogs were last week - and it's worth working out why

I agree re JUH.. I’m also wondering though if personal reasons means something about head space…do you know why he didn’t play?

Footy Fix: The Saints were ten times as rubbish as the Dogs were last week - and it's worth working out why

Actually, he played with excellent intensity in competing in the air and on the ground with 14 dis. 7 marks and 4 tackles
Couldn’t ask for much more from a bloke called up from the VFL to fill in
But like I said I can’t see him starting next week
Not with their key fwd coming back…possibly. Personal issues??

Where would we be without Rowdy’s star signs ? I need him to align mine 😂

The data says Brisbane are a flag contender - but the eye test tells a completely different story

I thought Lobb did a good job negating the marking strength of Saint’s backmen and at least turning it into a ground contest
But I can’t see him in the team ….Dogs will require as much run as possible against Freo and Lobb don’t fit that bill

Charlie, I think there are week to week match ups that help or hinder young blokes but as a unbiased person I think , what I’ve seen of Darcy, he will be undoubtedly be a champion big man of the game.
he impresses me greatly…
Cheers

Thank you All Day…it’s gone into the diary
All 12 sides ranking will be a treat to see again … a bit of healthy discussion on here I can imagine….or healthy debate I should say 😊
