A spark of optimism but they aren't too keen on selections.

• Is there a more inexperienced forward line in the comp?

Chandler, Pickett, Van Rooyen happily waving from the other end. 'We've each kicked at least one goal every game!'

Could be an interesting sideshow with the forward lines.

One side is almost without 'official' small forwards, the other side is almost without 'official' tall forwards.

Wow I think this person has multiple personality disorder, so many different views on the game from 1 mind.

One side with Highest points for..

Other side not even makes it to our pts scored against 🤷🤷🤷🤷

Hope Steven May is reading this.

The censored word referring to May isn't as bad as it looks.  The censored word is an anagram of carp!!  Hardly offensive, right? 

Methinks our censor meter has a virus of some sort...🙄

 I assume this refers to the thread title rather than its author😐

The author's personality and mind are just fine, thank you 🙂(altho noting the time spent on DL might prompt some to question the good sense of said author...)

Title’s had more name changes than Kardinia Park😁

Fair call!

The path of this WTAS title:

• It started off as @ Metricon as I couldn't remember where they are located.
• A moderator rightly changed it to @ Heritage Bank as that is the stadium's new sponsor. 
• The author (moi) wasn't fond of that title so I searched out the location and changed it to  @ Carrara, 'overuling' the mod.😟
• On reading their fan bf page they have nicknamed the stadium 'The Bank' which I like.

Must confess it was with some trepidation that I 'overruled' a very senior mod by changing the 'Heritage Bank' title but I don't have a 'warning' so all is good.🙃

OK...Is this a trick question...?

i'll humour you anyway:  local catholic primary school and local high school. 

...I could never do the daily The Age cryptic crossword if I didn't find the anagrams first.🙂

Thanks  Wcw. I think the name is but I might be wrong. I think its common in Sth Africa and then Zimbabwe because of the Dutch immigrants. Tbh I just needed some segue to boast about Rooey.

It’s all got very complicated for me. Putting nationality or heritage aside, I used to think I was pronouncing his name correctly but now I’m pretty sure I haven’t been…… so now I’m playing it safe and just call him JVR.

you would need to develop an afrikaans accent to do it justice 😁

Not sure I get that🤔

Is Aramanga supposed to be an anagram of 'anagram'?  Aramanga has one too many A's to be an anagram of 'anagram'.

closest I could get unfortunately ...

Had a quick look at bf.

70% of posts were complaining about the umpiring.  30% rightly proud of the team and optimism for the rest of the season.

The big surprise was the high number of Opps team posters who butted in to say 'GCS were robbed' or similar.  Opps fans rarely post on pre and post threads.  Offenders were from Lions, Tigers, Ess and Saints.  Guess that says it all!!

Giving the mood, no-one would have been game to say the dees also got a raw deal and GCS were gifted some easy goals.

The next few installments of WTAS@ will be brought to you by @Queanbeyan Demon 

Enjoy!

Most people only remember the what happened in the last quarter, never what happened in the first 3. Sure, the umpiring swung back in our favour in the last, but in the second and third it was clearly in there's. 3-4 goals from frees early in the game to them, 1 in the last to us. We came out worse of overall.

Egged on by the commentary!

Also, I think as a team we are rising up the 'most hated' ranks.  A badge of honour!

I also think horrible weather in Victoria meant that a lot of footy fans watched the game. They just wanted us to get rolled, because we are a threat. Much like when we watch Geelong and Brisbane play we want the opposition to do well, but it’s exaggerated for the Suns because they don’t really threaten anyone yet.

If that was a Collingwood Melbourne game most impartial supporters wouldn’t say a word.
