I've had Birdman since the start. Apart from last week has been carrying me.

Gun buy. I had him in 2006 and 2007 and he was crippled with injuries for both seasons. Despite his awesome price I stayed away cos he never plays 22 games.

Looking a million bucks this year though.

Haha, don't know about a "big bag", but he got a hell of a lot of the ball. Finishing was so bad tonight, especially in the third term. Totally dominated the quarter and missed half a dozen easy shots.

Was a good game to watch though, aside from the umpiring which was absolutely terrible all round. So many bad decisions against both sides.

absolutely devo

How absolutely awesome was Birdman's goal in mid-air.

not that good imo

 

[Jono]

Oh yeah I forgot you had crap like Welsh and Slattery on him.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Yesss Doggies - Adam Cooney has to be Brownlow favourite now if he already isn't.

Pies starting to hit their straps as well - looking ominous.

At least Slattery competed, Welsh was pathetic. Loving some of our younger players at the moment. Lonergan was excellent and Myers, Reimers and Houli also contributed well.

 

[Jono]

How good was Lonergan's goal that brought it within 3 points in the last quarter. Absolutely roosted it straight through the centre.

Tell Reimers or whoever is wearing orange boots to GTFO and wait till he's played 200+ games and won some Norm Smith medal like McLeod before he wears something like that.

Oh and Monfries was awesome against McLeod last night. Showed some responsibility and accountability for once.

Easily favourite with Mitchell out of contention as well. Plus Mitchell was quiet today.

Ablett only real contender. Unfortunately for Richo, Richmond haven't won enough games.

 

[ash chaulk]

would love to see richo win it

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Bock IMO. Key defender should win the Brownlow for once.

Cooney favourite right now anyway.

 

[Jono]

Bock, gun 4 letter name, gun defender. You can never get enough of players like that.

Judd is another of course.

Lonergan's goal was probably the purest kick all night, could not have kicked it any better. Love those orange boots lol, at least hes backing it up with some solid footy but afterall they are only boots. As for Monfries that was his 2nd best game for the club as far as im concerned after his 5 goal effort vs Brisbane at the GABBA in his 2nd season. Needed to lift and is gradually finding some form.

And yes Bock is a gun, still thought Lucas battled on well all things considered and was unlucky on a number of occassions to not get frees/paid the mark.

Hoping for 2 good games tonighht,

 

[pasag]

Ah well, we were quite good till half time. Blew us apart in the third, but things looking good, could've been a lot worse.

 

[Craig]

Brisbane leading by 26 with 11 to go.

 

[Johnners]

We'll make 200 in a game if we learn to kick straight. Awesome performance otherwise. Bradshaw & Brown are sooooo good together it's not funny. Gave Gibson, Pratt & Firrito an absolute hiding. We need to start making the most of our opportunites on goal soon though, kicking 20+ behinds 2 weeks straight isn't a good thing.

 

[superkingdave]

Dire game from us tonight pretty much all round the ground..only time we looked like a chance to get back into it was when Brown went off the field. Urquhart the only positive, gun debut.

 

[Josh]

Thought the Doggies just might get up. Had them on SportsBets on Facebook, but didn't tip them unfortunately.
