Is Lever not in your permutations?

Sound like he's dedicated and hard working like Wooey. I particularly like this bit "good skills by foot"

Summed it up beautifully. The boys responded after some tough negative press. It turned out to be more like a training run. But it'll instill great confidence that when we bring max pressure most teams will circum to the inevitable.

Hell you had it easy. I was born in the sea because my dear mum wanted a water birth. But we didn't have a home, so I had to tread water until the tide came in. I've still got barnacles on my legs. Fortunately we moved inland to a trout farm. The water's cold but the fish are friendly

Probably mine

Thanks PF for good read. Very enjoyable in these gloomy times. I'm expecting a bounce back this week and would like to know your thoughts

I'm sick of seeing up to 4 capable talls within a 5M circle & the ball bombed to their heads. Clearly we have one tall forward with a proven track record of kicking 60 plus goals in season. Why not use him to advantage? 1/ 200cm tall 2/ Fast over the first 20M 3/ Marks at the highest point & 4/ if not, it attracts a chop arms free 5/ Now he's as fit as a scrub bull So I know I'll be hailed down for a different opinion, but here goes... BBB to line up deep in the goal square. And when our reputed classy midfielders get the ball long into F50, he provides the lead. The most important part (left out until now) is that one of Kossi/Chandler/Bedford is instructed to run in from HF or the pocket to pick up the F&C or JtheG over the top. This also takes advantage of Kossies speed and accuracy at the snap. Chandler's not bad at this and Bedford has the speed. I know this is 1970's footy that had a different set of strategies (hit or hit harder). I know it won't work all the time, but at least try this a couple of times a quarter - or maybe once. I'll leave now...

I used't to love a summer roll as well, especially with a leg over! Too old now and can't remember

I say bring this senario on. If we're good enough we'll beat both the doggies and the cats. If not then at least we'll know early and won't to suffer any MFCSS through the finals.

So now we have been beaten by last, second last, third last & 4th last on the ladder WTF

WE are now officially rootedf

What the fuchh is going on here.

Yes, Yes & Yes. He's a mature AFL standard player and a proven 60 goal/yr FF. He's wasted in the resies, who aren't playing. Bring him in. After he comes in against collingwool and kicks 6. I expect you'll be with me on same the band wagon.

It certainly tugs the heart string of us, the Demon faithful. Magnificent to give back to the NT community. Can't applaud it enough, but! This is a bone dry landscape and even drought tolerant bermuda fine couch needs some water. Please tell me the club has a funded a bore to supply the water needs. I would hate to see the headlines in two years where the oval returned to sandy dust. Just sayin.

It's a yes from me. Provided he is fully healthy, fit and raring to go. Viney is a contested beast. You don't train for it...it's born in you.

Absolutely agree with everything here. Would love to see BB get the FF spot. Weid has had his chances for now.

Me too. It's essential

Absolutely agree with this. The club is mature enough now to bring in these two with past history (attitude/injury) and get the best out of them. Cost bugger all and could be vital come finals time.

Just noticed the Footscray water boys/people are bringing bowls of water out to boys rather than plastic bottles. Oh I see, they prefer to lick their water Dishlickers Suck! - if you can.

Absolutely nailed it. Agree wholeheartedly

We've finally produced the killer instinct that the top teams have. Grind the opposition into the ground in the last quarter. This has been missing from our psyche for ages. It's a sign of great team confidence in the system. Gawn, bludy-hell what a champion & leader

And loose the 186 title by a point

BTW you should be in the media. Slobbo, Gazza, Piggy don't have your articulation. I'm staying tuned for more. Thanks

Let me be the first (or couple) to congratulate you on a great and well reasoned post. You have a clear thinking of the game

What's that strange smell? bath-water
