How has this absolute nothingburger of a thread attracted 75 posts?

(Apart from nuffies like me responding, that is)  :D

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.


He would have had 35 & 5 if he didn’t avoid planks, room for growth

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.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
