Got exactly the same O. Not sure Tarrant is in our best 22 and agree with Miller. He’s developing into a very handy versatile player.
Tigers midfield will smash the Blues Round 1!

Would you rather? AFL preseason edition

Doubt it. Tigers best 22 for Round 1 a much better Team than last year, Carlton’s best 22 the same or maybe a lesser Team. Tigers are rightfully favourites.

My point was that it’s not totally in Carlton’s control to “never let such disappointments occur again.”
If it was, they would have been able to avoid last year’s mistakes and ineptitude which saw them finish a disappointing Ninth.

Really? Who is the last Team, through their own buffoonery, to finish Ninth?
I’ve heard the term Ninthton used alot….sounds very appropriate and Carlton owns it right now, no-one else.

there will be a steely resolve to never let such disappointments occur again.
That would be believable if their destiny was totally up to them but there will be 17 other Teams fighting for a win each week and a spit in the 8. Even if the Blues do play to their potential they may still finish Ninth again!

Clearly very sensitive.

The captaincy trap Cats won't fall into with new duo following in Selwood's huge footsteps

Where did I write, “motivated by ego?” Yet another example of your comprehension problems.
Dangers’ struggle with his ego often clouds his judgement and causes him to do and say things that are not aligned with good leadership.
The overly sensitive Cat Supporters here ignore this trait. Stewart really was the obvious choice, however Scott is obviously completely in Dangers thrall.

Very well put Rowdy. My sentiments exactly.

Poor choice in my books. Stewart would have been a much better option as he generally shows humility, whereas Danger often struggles to keep his ego in check.

There are just no Captains at Essendon. Same as they have no quality Board Members, Administrators or genuine Team vibe. The repair job at Bomber Land is huge.

Bombers make call on new captain after Heppell's surprise decision to step down

The fact that the most dissappointing team in the AFL, Won-nothing-mantle, have yet to actually win a Premiership shows how hard it is to do so… the Tigers have won 3 of the last 6 with Lynch a massive reason why they lifted the Cup in ’19 & ’20!

I’d like to give Geelong the benefit of the doubt
I guess you have to because, we’ll never know, unless Danks one day tries to cash in on his notoriety and writes a tell all book that may include details of any assistance he may have provided to the Cats Premiership push back then.

And they’ll finish half a game from 8th in 2023.

There will forever be a cloud hanging over Geelong due to their relationship with Stephen Danks and Bomber Thompson’s subsequent involvement in the world of illicit drugs and associated shady characters.
Where there’s smoke……!!

…..Matthew Stokes, Bomber Thompson, et al!

Great to see all those Freo Players in the Top 10 as predicted!
And who would have they’d get so many in the Top 50. But as a Premiership favourite, I guess that’s not surprising.

The Roar's AFL top 50 players, 10-1: Who takes top spot?

Woweee Nics. I just read the whole thread…..seriously, either Don has a comprehension issue with the written word or he deliberately misinterprets what people write to then create a reasin to be argumentative which, either way, is very unfriendly and objectionable behaviour!

Prestia….Gun! Should be higher.

The Roar's AFL top 50 players, 40-31: Is this Giant the most underrated player in the game?

I generally don’t buy into these Top 50 lists since they are terribly subjective, but I did enjoy the video footage of Dusty tearing the Cats a new one in the 2020 GF, especially his 4th, where he picked Stanley’s pocket, then symbolically shrugged Danger into the Gabba gutter before snapping yet another miraculous goal. I remember how excited I was on that night, sending messages to my ‘friends’ making sure they had seen it.

Letting go of a dream of ever winning a Premiership…..and so should Freo!

'Letting go of a dream': Dockers star makes surprise call, predicts it'll give club a boost

Very true Cat. The Team, aka Won-nothing-mantle, will be one of the big sliders this year. Apart from maybe the Bombers, Freo have been the most disappointing Team in the AFL for a long time.

How about he goes for Gatto Nero…..oh, that’s right, it’s taken already isn’t it Tootz?

Looking forward to seeing this guy in our Test Team.
