    Forget the muppet that is saying it but do you agree with BT here?

     

    Honestly what a attention seeking stupid comment to make... Sammy was gutted, he felt the loss was entirely on his shoulders, you can see it in his face.. I love the fact the boys got around him. The guy was hurting and I can guarantee you he will be doing overtime with some goal kicking practise this week.

    What's the alternative, leave the 20 gamer on his own and segregate him? [censored] off BT got this one completely wrong

    Anyone know if we have engaged a specialist goal kicking coach yet? You know someone who might be able to improve technique and develop routines (that allow players to replicate that technique in all circumstances)for set shots! Goal kicking has cost us 3 games this season. 

    Petracca is a classic case study, his ball drop on a set shot inside 45m can do anything with him often spinning the ball in his hands just prior, to stay loose I suppose?

    That's just it, I thought, ignoring his football credentials in recognition of his limited nouse.

    You would hope that the leaders got the club together post game and when back at training and made a point of all the misses this year and the fact we have been [censored] and take it upon themselves to actually train their set shots every single bloody session. 

    We have kicked so many more points than goals for the last few years. And it’s cost us multiple games.

    But I don’t expect anything smart from this club anymore.

    Nietzsche would argue that BT has a point.

    It is not for us to determine the morality of an action but only live with the consequences of that action.

    Empathy /pity leads to a slave mentality whereas a master mentality has no need for this morality .It either is or is not (successful)because of personal action.

    All the players who missed should be chastised. It’s not a pre- school.

    And another thing. 

    BT may seem moronic but he was clever enough to kick several hundred goals from in front of the sticks.

    Same goes for Mark Jackson.

    They at least had the humility to work on their craft.

    Your status as a very sick man has been temporarily been put on hold. You are obviously quoting from our new recruit who has a season ending injury. Allow me to advise you that apart from yours truly only the lonely erudite know anything about this great philosopher who invented Zarathustra.

    I think the Weed deserves some slack because he isn’t a serial offender. He has slotted some good goals under pressure, especially in last years finals. Also he so obviously cares and is hard enough on himself without anyone else sinking in the boots. He has been one of our better converters.

    He’s kicked a paltry 6g 5b in 7 games this year.

    22g 14b over his 27 games so far. 

    Going at well under a goal per game. How much  more slack should we cut the guy without running out of rope?

    Whatever his deficiencies I don’t see it being lack of effort. That is the only justification for a spray IMO - eroding confidence isn’t the way to improve performance.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
