EvilMonk: @exatekk errr is 4 too many? haha
navy_blues: if parish does well i will bring him in but not willing to risk him straight off
MrWalrus: Evening all, Parish and Sharp lets go, no hawks for me though Sicily was tempting but for the bye

Gotigres: nice goal Sharp
soup: Playing for essendon does that to ya walrus
LuvIt74: Nice Macca
Pokerface: of the whole US sage, C-Mac should be most embarrassed about that moustache in his mug shot
Apachecats: Real tough Sicily slinging the little first gamer off the ball.
MrWalrus: Haha soup, far call.
soup: Are you surprised apache?
MrWalrus: Is there anyone in the comp easier to dislike more than vaginni?
Breezey: Definitely Sicily Walrus
exatekk: i like him. hes unique and doesnt give a fk. better than being a robot
Apachecats: No soup Sics got plenty of form on that sort of rubbish.
J_Herer: Can the Bombers cause the upset?
Apachecats: Greene would go close Tusker also BSmith.
MrWalrus: Sicily is certainly up there, I like a unique character but ginnivan just irritates me immensely.
exatekk: see i could never stand dusty, the guy was rude, aloof and didnt engage, but kids everywhere idolised him.
MrWalrus: Definitely 2 contenders Apache.
Justgrumpy: May if he didn?t retire would be my no 1
Pokerface: Mason Cox says hi
Pokerface: yeah good call grumpy. Zorko a contender too
Justgrumpy: Well let?s admit it tons of guys with punchable faces.
MrWalrus: Dusty off field yes, on field though he was pretty class, just got on with it.
Breezey: Back in the day Hayden Ballantyne was the undisputed No 1
J_Herer: Tom Lynch
MrWalrus: Yep, lots of punchable faces indeed.
exatekk: agree breezey
Apachecats: Yes Grump May is no loss to the game.
exatekk: stephen milne too
MrWalrus: Ballantyne! We need the Ballantyne award for most punchable face in the AFL
Apachecats: Yes Herer another one.You could probably make up a team of them.
wadaramus: Jeff Farmer.
Justgrumpy: I reckon he has done Melbourne a huge favour Apache
Apachecats: * but they probably couldn’t stand each other.
Pokerface: he didnt have a choice grumpy
Justgrumpy: True poker
Beast_Mode: sharpy’s tog is garbage
exatekk: Kane Cornes…. still lol
Apachecats: Yeah poker no one wanted him even for free.
Pokerface: rumour was he was forced out due to .. ‘anger management’ issues at home
MrWalrus: Any Cornes exa
Pokerface: tex walker up there for me
Apachecats: Yes and the Sorrento case hasn’t gone away.gone away.
NickyD: Tom Lynch
zadolinnyj: Happy with parish
navy_blues: nice
Noxious: Merrett a pod, 3% owned, nice goal
MrWalrus: Duursma not done much but what he has done is pretty spectacular
Grimes Jr: Lift parish
EvilMonk: so how big does Merrett go before I trade out to a dot for VC score? lol
NickyD: Missed the 1st quarter. Did we get the bow and arrow from Duursma?
Apachecats: Lynch full forward in the ahole team.
Noxious: Not worth it Monk
Yelse: sharp TOG so poor
MrWalrus: 200 monk
Breezey: No Nicky D
MrWalrus: Sharp doesn’t need tog.
soup: Well done sharpy, now keep him off the pine Scott you banana
NickyD: I am disapoint. TY Breezey
MrWalrus: I started Rankine for a first round loop, already is Jagga and might end up C pending Bont score.
LuvIt74: Wonder if H. Young will play
NickyD: @LuvIt – hard to hold him. Probably a last minute fitness test on Sunday.
exatekk: i so wanted to start Rankine too walrus, but his hammy niggle scared me off
soup: I’ve got him faded for now luvit
bigboyboy: any danger of hitting ur kicks caldwell
Apachecats: Hes a bit iffy LuvIt even if he plays.
Grimes Jr: Do something parish
Apachecats: Been pulling up sore at training.
MrWalrus: Yeah exa, but he’s just too good given the fwd slim pickings
Social: Good evening fellow ball winners
J_Herer: Parish looked a bit gassed then after the scrap with Chol, having a rest now
exatekk: i had Thilthy in F2 but then saw Tracca last wek and you cant ignore that 170 lol. even if its to make bulk cash fast
Apachecats: Unusual Caldwell butchering it.Nice DT score though.
navy_blues: ginni is learning not blazing to goal there got to give him credit there
Raspel31: Yep Apache- have Caldwell in the Draft but sloppy.
zadolinnyj: Hello parish
soup: Thanks for the coin old man
Apachecats: Nearest the Pin comp on Merrett.Apache goes 132.
eaglesrick: hello all for 26… another crapola year for us eagles people
Thedude24: Idk what to think about fading Sharp. I was right about lack of opportunity but he has 2 goals smh
exatekk: 130 neat apache
Thedude24: Eaglesrick is Lindsay a fieldable option?
circle52: 146 for merrett
Justgrumpy: Kids just need XP eagles could be good in a few years
Migz: easy for rookies to fade/shrink when the team starts getting belted
frenzy: zach 142 pls
hinsch: Merrett 142
Zutroyz: Essington bringing it in prime time. AFL is really onto something here
Justgrumpy: 127 Apache
EvilMonk: 154 merrett
eaglesrick: dude, too early to tell. im looking at Murdock as a hold .
hinsch: Sorry Frenz
Bazza2023: Go Hawks, take that scum
zadolinnyj: 134 for me
Manowar: El Achkar – El Loser
Apachecats: NTP closes end of half time.
Apachecats: Got a good trophy for this year.
The39Steps: make that 128
MrWalrus: Walrus for 123, what happened to the T-shirt?
TheLegend6: awful roberts, what is this role and TOG
Apachecats: It just rotted to bits Tusks ,started in the underarm and just spread.
MrWalrus: What the hell is maguiire’s spawn doing on my TV? This is complete walrus droppings!
MrWalrus: Yeah, I hate when that happens Apache, you could have boiled the t-shirt to make a hearty stew.
Pokerface: 117 for Zach
Apachecats: Going misere Poker?
Ash777: should I have k.pickett or is his personal issues too big of a problem?
Pokerface: haha. yep 🙂
m0nty: well im paul hi
m0nty: im paul hi
Apachecats: NTP on Merrett closed.
Pokerface: if you want the pick it shouldnt be an issue Ash. Just needs to travel to see his daughter
m0nty: lol that was my son being a little terrier
MrWalrus: Archie Roberts is not a good decision maker.
Apachecats: thought you’d been hacked monty.
Pokerface: lol. i like his style. Anyway Paul, I’m pokerface
Apachecats: How about my decision making ,I picked him.Tusks.
Ash777: this is a better umpired game than last night
The39Steps: Didn’t realise m0nty wrote, “Me and Paul.”
frenzy: Meek to the VFL
McSquire: What?s with Roberts 57% game time
Apachecats: Wright still on zero marks from many attempts.
MrWalrus: I felt he was a classic pre season trap Apache.
Apachecats: Hes better than what we’ve seen tonight.but you could be right,I’ll give him another week or two.
navy_blues: blakiston been ok
Apachecats: yeah navy doing well against 2 much bigger bodies.
soup: Most moved player in my team navy, ended up holding and happy with how he looks, all scoring aside
MrWalrus: Agreed Apache, definitely a chance to spike value with a couple of big scores but sell high if possible.
navy_blues: had him in soup but changed my mind
CamT: Blakiston has been fine. He won’t come up against many 7 footers again.
Apachecats: Blakiston will be DPP in a couple of weeks.
NickyD: Gee Anzac Day is gonna be fun 🙂
wadaramus: Parish is perish.
Pokerface: i got Blakiston in with 2 mins b4 lockout. but i dont like it. his first 5 weeks are awful for a ruck
Grimes Jr: Parish cooked. Won?t get 80
m0nty: this game needs an age verification for Hok fans
Thedude24: The bigger worry for Blakiston is possible structural changes which is common after losing this badly. Visentini may
wadaramus: Poor old Merrett, been carrying this soyrry sack of shit for years.
Thedude24: Visentini could easily be given a go next week
Apachecats: Bryan back in 4 weeks too Dude.
McSquire: Feel sorry Merrett having to stay with us
wadaramus: No wonder he so desperately wanted out.
navy_blues: why? players sign the contract they agree end of story
Ash777: fiorini has been a turnover merchant
frenzy: Pls tell me Roberts is crook
NickyD: Bombers know the practice games are over, yeah?
Ash777: Also Perkins wont kick the ball
wadaramus: Contracts mean jack shit navy.
J_Herer: few people getting burned by Archie Roberts
navy_blues: thats the prob wada if they want long term contract they honour it
wadaramus: You sign, you change your mnid, you move. Clubs exercise it when they want to, so do players.
Pokerface: clubs honour it far less than players
wadaramus: Contracts are more of an insurance policy these days.
Ash777: I see why perkins doesn’t kick the ball now
wadaramus: But for someone like Merrett, who slogs his guts out week in week out, wanted a change late in career.
wadaramus: But blocked by a selfish club.
wadaramus: Get off the bench Paris you half baked mid pricer.
Pokerface: what kind of a culture does it create there when the club wheeled out senior players to slag him off during trade period
Raspel31: I want a change in my career wada- but I’m 93-little interest.
Apachecats: Yeah I suppose most clubs would willingly wave good bye to their contacted captain and best player .
wadaramus: Your humour never fails to generate a laugh Raspel, we love it, don’t change 🙂
wadaramus: Sometimes you have to think of the player and not the club Apache.
Ash777: Have you tried Seek Raspel? Nick Watson looked happy with his wizzard role.
exatekk: Cogs or Windsor in Flex. im torn
Pokerface: Apache – he won’t be there when they next play finals. 3 first rounders on the table. he’ll lose currency each year.
Apachecats: Mind you I personally would have let him go.
Pokerface: lol Ash
Apachecats: Agree poker we are 5 years away minimum.
SMii7Y27: anyone got a clue why roberts has a diabolical tog?
wadaramus: I’ve got both on field Exa!!
Apachecats: Lot of peroxide when Caddy and Ginivan match up
exatekk: jeez wada thats a worry lol
Ash777: with Merrett BoG for the dons I say keeping him was correct.
wadaramus: How have the Hawks managed 18 goals? Not watching, but looking at stats it doesn’t stack up!
TheLegend6: Have a break roberts you need it
Grimes Jr: Pointless keeping merrett. Dons list is fucked
Apachecats: 120’s looking good for Zerritt.
Pokerface: don’t write me off Apache.
Apachecats: NTP trophy is a framed ,autographed pair of Sam Kerr’s jocks.
Ash777: They can trade him this year. Better draft this year.
wadaramus: Not worth a burned Vili’s pie Apache.
Pokerface: they wont get 3 first roundres this year
exatekk: what colour apache?
Ash777: Hawks had trash first rounders.
oc16: we would at most give 2 first rounders for him now
Apachecats: Navy exa.
The39Steps: Adrian Dodoro is in 17 teams Hall of Fame.
exatekk: oh man, i was hoping for beige, i have the navy ones
bigboyboy: hawks have mastered the throw it seems
Pokerface: did Whately just call Ginnivan Gunston?
wadaramus: Parish likes the pine.
Pokerface: where are the witches hats
TheLegend6: roberts off again what a farce
MrWalrus: Sure have big boy, been a bunch of Muralis all night.
SMii7Y27: roberts picked up 4 touches in about 5 minutes just to call it another break ffs
wadaramus: Darrel Hair agrees MrWalrus.
TheLegend6: has to be something wrong with him
Apachecats: I think we’ll run out of time here.
wadaramus: Time to come back and win Apache?
Ash777: roberts now too busy wrestling
Pokerface: you are actually close to the Leigh Mattthews formula Apache
soup: Come home strong blak
Apachecats: The jocks are going down to the wire ,head and head.
Apachecats: What is it poker I’m curious.
Pokerface: the Lethal theory is that you are still a chance if goals needed is not more than minutes left.
Pokerface: so if you are 5 goals behind with 5 minutes to go you are still a chance
MrWalrus: Pretty happy with Parish for a first up accidental Blakiston is ok and Sharp should be fine as a slow burner.
wadaramus: Sharp is blunt, Parish needs a pew, goodnight all, how good is live music to massive crowds?
Apachecats: Got it.He was an optmist
MrWalrus: It holds pretty well out to 5 or 6 goals if the trailing team has momentum Apache.
Apachecats: The Sam Kerr jocks go to a 3 way tie.Unreal. Frenzy and hinsch went 142 and Zado went 134.I’ll hang onto the Kerr jocks
Norf17: nearly 10 tonnes for the one side, thats crazy
MrWalrus: Also Eddie’s son needs to get off of my tv
Apachecats: *till next time.But you’ve all notched up an NTP for 2026 Well done.
