If you do a search of just about any topic EB1 will be a contributor.
Always gives good, considered opinions.
The type of poster who makes the forum better.
Hopefully just taking a short break.

Haven't seen ol mate EB1 around the boards for a bit, anyone know where he's at? Hope all is well and he's travelling or taking a break.

I’ve had similar thoughts G2C, Brother Elwood would normally be all over our resurgence, coaching appointment and wildcard chances.

Tomorrow night at the MCG at 19:35.
The forecast is for no rain.

I read 7pm start somewhere, AFL website has 7.35 as you have stated.

Rediy would be blown up after the 1st quarter trying to chase Gawn around.

As MBB said, Young as 2nd ruck, specifically when Gawn goes forward is the matchup.
thats why hes an emergency on case pitto doesnt get up.

Irrespective i dont share your dire scenario and dont see the fuss.

I expect everyone to get up, so its all for nothing anyway.

But to be clear....

We are going to lose the ruck even if Pitto plays.
We are going to lose the ruck by more if Riedy plays 1st ruck and he will be useless around the ground.
We are going to lose the ruck by more if Young is 1st ruck, but at least Young can match it with him around the ground.

I would prefer to sacrifice the ruck completely, leaving it to Young as overall he'd be better matchup for Gawn.

We don't need Young to play on anyone else, so we don't need Reidy......at all IMO.

Last post by crashlander - August 28, 2026, 07:21:14 pm

Voting is as usual: you have 15 votes to award pretty much as you will, with the following provisos:
[1] 15 votes in total, no more, no less.
[2] No more than 10 votes for any one player (even Sam Walsh or Patrick Cripps)
[3] Three players at least must get a mention.
[4] A grade for the game, A+ (what I want to see) to F-.
