    I get that the majority think the noise of tracc when planking is irrelevant. 

    I think it indicates his mental weaknesses, immaturity and disrespect to team mates and the trainers.

    Please don't call me nuts, or a nuffie or suggest I am not part of the "we" in this forum. They are personal attacks. If you can't see that then you have become desensitised to how you treat others..Those names are borderline nasty, I will ask those throwing them out, to not do it. Even if with some humorous intention.

    @BAMF

    Kev your original and some following comments were correct.

    BUT it is a very nuanced observation.

    There are many features of the exercise which we are all still unsure of and indeed like any comments need to be taken in context and awareness of intent.

    You are dead right about the need for positive behaviour and attitude to be displayed as an instinctive action.

    There is nothing worse than the bowed head, the hands on hips , knees etc.There is also the need for disappointment and negative reality displayed at times so the context must always be considered.

    i have adopted the name dpositive for that reason and hope I always offer positive support, I do so in advising you to give up. It was a good point well put you don't have to justify it any further.

    That's the way mate, keep attacking. 

    You're have no understanding of the other.

    Who is olisik or Dr D?

    Must be only addressing your inner circle.

    Mate, I have a right to express myself on this open forum, without the constant attacks.

    But well done, your circle must be getting chuffed about your inputs.

    So much wisdom, to impart!

    Can't wait for the next snipe.

     

    nuffie

    A term used to describe people that are mentally retarded (or just plain stupid). Derived from the term nuff nuff.

    I’m jealous that you don’t know who Olisik or Dr.D is tbh

    But you completely mistook my comment. If you read carefully, you would know that I didn’t attack you, I attacked your comment (or rather, I took the mickey out of it).

    There’s a difference between criticism of a post and criticism of the poster. I clearly made no remarks towards you mate, just your post. You’re not a nuffie. 
     

    But your post on the other hand…. ?

    As a leader, could be setting an example.

    Do we want the lot of them carrying on.

    He could be pushing himself more, not just getting through.

    Lead by example, train as you would play.

    Then take the training into game day.

    Sorry but this is a very silly thread.

    Is it, why comment then?

    Again, how would it be if all expressed discomfort with an exercise?

    What is it like for team mates close to him who may also be struggling?

    I suggest he has some mental weaknesses and immaturity. 

    I am happy to discuss, but one liners like yours are just going to annoy those who are like you in opinion and would prefer a thread like this being forgotten because of its triviality.

    You will upset my fan base!

    Have you ever physically exerted yourself to the point of exhaustion? I have and I swore a lot, when it came to action time it was game face on, no weakness or immaturity. As we witnessed last night, Petracca is a professional. 

    Not an attack Kev, you’re obviously entitled to your opinion.

    He wasn’t exhausted,  he was bunging it in on for the camera and, I thought, displaying his subconscious attitude to effort.

    He had a good game, and is a match winner for us. Just believe he still has plenty of growth.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?
