I honestly think he lacks the talent for the top level. He has rarely if ever dominated a game at VFL level. He has some had some good games but nothing that screams I should be in the seniors. His few games at the top level have been a couple of marks and a goal or two but seems to go missing for parts of the game. A friend said to me last year he looks the figure in those blow up people you see at car yards that are all arms and body flying about. Sadly I was struggling up disagree.

If you go over his games at Casey, quite a few were excellent! The problem last year was a bad hand injury and when fit was rushed straight back in without any form. RESULT got dropped and this was on Goodwin. Then when he did show some form Goodwin Refused to play him in meaningless games at the end of the season. I'm sure a new coach can bring tge best out of him!

I think kentfield seems to have that mongrel in him which you love to see in a KPF. Hopefully with a big preseason we get to see the best of kentfield this year. Still so young too, only just turned 20 this year

Can confirm he does have mongrel, no question about it

We need a porta poti for them. I saw three head to the far away end, kneel and do the, I am a river to my people. MFC should do better!

One very cold and wet day in winter training was well underway when I arrived. There were no other spectators. As I rounded the corner of the marquee (as you know Kev, it’s a blind turn) I came upon X taking a leak up against that huge shade tree under which we track-watchers usually congregate. The tree is very close to the marquee as well as the boundary fence. But it wasn’t awkward at all. As I walked past X said, “Hey, Ghosty!” and I said, “Hey X!” And that was it.

A portaloo would be a good addition though.

All in a days work.

Hostile work environment, without a designated toilet.

Funny story, thanks.

Maybe a small tent with a bucket.

Unless it is the evil thing, then a personal bottle emptier may come in under the softcap.

Probably yours GW, given you are also doing so many other things, which I for one sincerely appreciate 😀

Thanks TA <3

But as much as I love the players I’m not down for carting their urine away after training 😁

This is all a bit disturbing visually but more so amenity wise. Is it really true that our multi, multi million dollar professional team does not have access to an ablution block and must relieve in the open. Pretty bad methinks.

Question to everyone is this actually true? Did Robbie Flower have mongrel? If it's exactly the same as competitiveness I guess I agree. I just want to see players giving their all. Is that the same?

Imagine being paid a million a year yet being forced to pee like an animal at your workplace.

That was my thought also Go Ds, competitiveness that “will to win” ,”hate being beaten” is ingrained into every winning group each doing their bit to get the win regardless of the cost. Hopefully our coaching group can find the way to ignite the passion in each of their charges to find that level of desire to succeed.

There are very few like Robbie Flower he was the graceful Gazelle amidst the Lions, he loved to take them on and win.
