Hawkins does exactly the same thing whenever he feels he can't take the mark.

just as the big men should.

Plugger Lockett would not have been so kind,  in 'HIS' territory...

I think we are all tFearful for poor old Essendrug, these two very sad losses to their line-up have won us games over the past couple of years and there is a strong likelihood of them both regularly excelling from now on for the MFC thanks to our 'muscle' recruiting wins for 2019. Carna Dees!

Deep down in our clubs psyche... I think we are all tFearful for poor old Essendrug.

And of the Hawks except that the Hawks are a different club, these days.

the Roos to a lesser extent, and this fear grew out of trying to be a 'prim and proper'. politically correct club...  This stemmed from Northern stand attitudes.

 

And at the same era's, did our inability to develop our kids... and to maintain the rugged Footy Club culture.

# Exhibit A... of what happens to our clubs footy culture, and the growth of bruise free footy.  This is why  'bruise free'  continues to creep back in... after we have exorcised it from within.

 

This is how it regrows...  this  'non contact type philosophy'  does not fit with the rest of   the AFL Footy Competition... and belongs on a soccer field,  where  hard tackling and physically hard contact are frowned upon.

 

This is how our Footy Clubs Culture, continually gets pulled down and torn apart from within,  by politically correct others.

What if Bruiser turns out to be a player, not a thug. We should not expect him to be the "pack crasher" just because he is bigger than most. My memory of the 50s and 60s is of a skillful, talented team and we won games for that reason and no other.

I would prefer him to take marks or create crumbing opportunities and forget about all these other issues.

What a load of cows excrement, you have a serious chip on that shoulder of yours DV8. It is the 21st century and thugs are no longer tolerated. Get used to it. I love tough footy but cheating is cheating and whether it be drugs or illegal tactics it has no place in today's sport.

I am not calling for punches, or to knock opponents... like was done in the 70's and 80's... but to bruise them with some intent.  To create pain.

I am not talking about thuggery Mandee  !!!

 

I am talking about physically softening up opposition and intimidating to distract.  

 

Are you a cricket follower, ManDee ? I think the chip is on your shoulder mandee in the way you read my words. colouring in your own palette.

I don't want thugs... I want intimidation players, who will bruise opponents... just as Neita did on occasions. as Whelan did, as Viney does...

 yes deliberately bruise opponents. make them feel the pain of heavy contact to the body.

 

but No, not the Thuggery, of yesteryear.

They are all coached to hurt, just legally, as Nev did to Mitchell in the semi

 

Nev cops way more than his fair share, he just doesn’t whinge about it. Only fair that he is able to dish out some as well.

Max will struggle to get a game

The drill was one guy to actually get the ball after 'a bit of contact' it didn't develop that way,  for all the pairs, obviously to the delight of the coaches, who did nothing to discourage the more robust approach to the drill

Well we've been getting used to political correctness at the Dees, for the past 50 Yrs, and I still haven't got used to the feeling of losing... whilst we fly the johnny be good flag.

 

It's not cheating if your not charged with anything, Mnd.

So the rest of the competition tries to bend the rules all the way, before they are broken, and to get away with things...  whilst you continue to NOT cheat in some politically correct fantasy of your own making....  but what is that exactly???   when other clubs are taking ALL their opportunities... and the flags.

 

Do you pay all the tax you should...  or do you bend the rules,  just a bit, MnD ?

 I bet you do not answer...  just come out to throw shyte, and hide.

When the amount you’re selling is under the prescribed amount required to be declared as trafficking.

Anyhoo..back to training, I’m on the red-eye tonight to Melbourne, depending on how my morning pans out I’m going to try to swing by for a look. I’ve pressed my chaps just in case.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
