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.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
