Looks like we are the Collingwood this week

Would take the opinion of a player inside the four walls over the prejudice of supporters who haven’t seen him play for more than a year. An amazing thing about life is that people can improve...but nah this bloke must still be a [censored].

Gee that's some retribution for the Robbie Grey goal to win a few weeks ago. Deadset replica

Nice one. MFC - In the eight

That's definitely high contact

Thought Preuss really grew into that game and by the 3rd had wrested control from Grundy. Jones had moments of showing his age and slowing-down but he still flies the flag of desperation like he always has. Stoked for him to keep getting a run. Wieds the standard 2 goals ? Loved it. Go Dees

I like it. Does that indicate Viney to spend more time in the forward line, taking Hannan's spot and giving Brayshaw more time in the middle? Roll Viney in occasionally to crash into Pendlebury's quad?

Deleted because... who can be bothered I guess

Nice response ? indeed the key is to just enjoy going fishing

Haha, mate ideas don’t come about unless we talk about stuff. Very weak response IMO. without derailing further, look at AFL. It is bigger business, flashier and more profit driven than ever. Do we enjoy it more than our forebears in the 50s or 80s did? I doubt it. What matters and what we love is footy, but we are sold the flashiness and spectacle and we lap it up without it really adding much more to our passion for our teams.

People will jump on straw men arguments against this (like ‘tell us how socialism will fix this’) but you are correct. This is nothing to do with political agenda but the kind of historically observable transition that happens in societies when our understandings and functions of labour, resources and economy change. This is exactly what is happening now. Change is the only guaranteed thing and to immediately reject alternative ideas is to worsen the shock of the change for yourself. Fetishisation of money is a great way to see it. And just like fetishes, not everybody has it. I’d wager that most of us want all of us to be able to live happy lives, and constantly striving for growth and profit has proven itself inept at achieving this.

Jeez that was an entertaining match. Best result

Tere!

Brayshaw best game in two years, Tracc awesome, goal kicking needs work. That was strange. Felt like we were playing Melbourne. Edit sp

Excellent, excellent thread. Cheers @binman, @Engorged Onion et al. Skuit I remember you pointing this out and, although it got lost in the mire of life, when Ajax had the greatest season a Dutch club has ever had a couple of years ago my reaction was ‘bloody hope Goody was looking at that.’

Gee Fagan’s Lions are so impressive. They play with speed and ferocity and know each other’s games inside out, it seems. Dogs starting to look all at sea, with crowds and umps against them

There’s a big difference between giving your opinion and repetitively shouting into the void.

Yea hate our players being over aggressive. I’d be as aware of the hypocrisy of it was any other sub-star player in the league. As noted by pretty much everyone, it would be absolutely SHOCKING if a star player was given this edit, sarcasm. I bloody love our players being aggressive and remember all too well when that was all we wished for

This. They don’t give two [censored] about anything but their fat wallets. ANB deserved a term, four weeks excessive though and going to make it hard for him to come back. The hypocrisy is just predictable and vomit inducing.

Joke. Anyone know where I can send my angry letter of complaint?

I’m all in dude. Woo hoo [censored].

Love the idea Skuit, just spitballing some titles for what has the potential to be an deep diving and impactful podcast series: From woo to hoo How to woo a tough crowd A woo-tiful life Once were woo-riors A will to woo I hope some of these help

Who knew the woo-hoo voodoo would do

Agree please suspend me and I can stop torturing myself
