Carlton mate showed me a stat this morning. 

Marchbank: Metres gained - Minus 13. Is that even possible for a full game? 

Sadly, some of our past players might have him on that pre Roos.  Don't want to mention names as they did their best but we consistently handballed in circles and backward to a player under pressure until we turned it over.  Painful. 

As an aside, there are so many similarities Bolton to Neeld: lauded as a teacher, talked up by their premiership winning coach, acid tongue when under pressure demoralising players (altho Bolton hides it better behind his childish smile).  Rubbish game plan.  Both clubs shambolic off field with poor player development. And they play 'bruise free' football?

It amazes me how they had a template of what not to do (MFC) yet they have copied it to a T.

Two consecutive 10 goal floggins from bottom 4 clubs and players aren't playing for him.  He will really feel the blowtorch now.  So glad it isn't us anymore.

Their injury list is horrific to be fair. Although other than Docherty their outs would only have made a difference around the margins.

They need to do an independent full club reiview. Football department, administration, recruting, fitness and medical staff... the whole kit and caboodle looks to be a shambles.

What amazes me is some Carlton fans think that Tyson would be surplus to their needs. He’d be their second best inside mid by a mile. They don’t even know how to help themselves.

True their injury list is a problem but I suspect they wouldn't make much difference. 

The bigger problem is they traded away their better players:  Betts, Garlett, Waite, Gibbs, Robinson, Touey, Henderson and I'm sure there are others.   It was very deliberate to get picks for SOS to take to the draft so they now have a bunch of talented kids who are suffering.

Tyson would take a lot of the load off Cripps.  He would be really good for them.  I have to say I really admire Cripps.  Reportedly he is playing with a number of injuries.  He is playing so well that he is regularly BOG and second on the Coaches vote table.

In my first ever game of under 12s,  I only got one kick. 

It slewed off the side of my boot and through for a point to the opposition.

SOS offered you a contract yet?

Brizzy win would be huge for us.

Only 9 down at the half.  Let’s what belief the6 have built up.  Anyone gong to tag Mitchell?  Or is his huge DT score at half time, high possession but not effective one?

Hoping  for other losses is a sine qua non for a dees supporter. Go lions.

[FarNorthernD 5,863]

Lions up by 8 points at 3/4 time

Pretty sure umpire #25 must have played little league for the Hawks as a kid

[darkhorse72 1,943]

Let’s see if the lions can sustain their lasth qtr, been a problem all year.  But they should do it for us  

[brendan 3,458]

Go lions glad we don’t play them again 

[Gator 18,053]

This is exceptionally pleasing.

Lions by 21 with 11 minutes to go.

[darkhorse72 1,943]

Lions. Looking good, another goal, defending very well

[leave it to deever 17,618]

Panic 4 hawks now. Yippee.

[Ethan Tremblay 31,388]

27 points up now, very good result for us. 

[dees189227 12,512]

This is great that Brisbane has won. It helps us big time. We need to get a game clear of them. 

[Dee Zephyr 19,311]

Glad we don’t play Brisbane again.

[What 18,810]

Brizzy have drafted very well the last few years, They have some serious talent and  are developing their kids nicely.

Basically the total opposite of Carlton.

[darkhorse72 1,943]

Fagan has a good steady approach to improving teams, helped us in the late 90s, then moved to hawks and nor Brissie.  A very long apprenticeship to get where is at Brisbane,
