Timothy Reddan-A'Blew

Thanks, Deever. Nice. Also, what a team. of not too many stars. Don't want to jinx us (I certainly don't think we'll fall to the Eagles in a Perth final!...) but, next year then, it could be 'Demon Spirited Attack'?

Going back to the OP (some thread it's turned out to be, eh, @FrothiesLiam?!) recall these points by Rucci, informative for 'where to now?': '[He]...rejected a two-year offer [from Crows] when he wanted three.' [described later as 'the key point'] 'One reason for McAdam’s...departure is differences between he and the club’s fitness staff...[He]...suffered both a thigh injury and fractured cheekbone in 2023.' 'There are also some other issues that have emerged through the year in that there's clearly a difference of opinion or style between him and the fitness coaches of Adelaide as to what was best for his preparations and so forth.' 'When you get that sort of unsettled moment in a footy club that can keep rolling along.' 'He has put out the feeler to Melbourne, they've put their arms around him...' [I liked this. It's what we do 😊]

@Binmans PA has put the memo on your desk, Bin? Though it appears it would be an unpopular executive decision.

It's fortunate El Niño is returning (apparently...). Improves the chances of our Gosch's/Casey team retaining this Sunshine Coast boy.

Seems it is (if 'our' = DL, at least...) Time for a reminder of this? https://www.zerohanger.com/why-arent-clubs-chasing-jack-billings-stkilda-saints-afl-trade-period-144137/

...with the addition of a non-Maxicorn game plan.

In the battle 'It's game plan / entries vs. It's inaccuracy (when it counted)', my vote's with the latter. It was the case in the H&A season, probably materially affecting our finals ladder position, and in finals, materially affecting outcome probabilities. So technique and/or mind coaching (the basis of this thread) is important. As, then, is the 'by whom?'

Looking at the AFLCA votes leader board, shutting down/out Jasmine Garner will go a long way. Time* for a tagger? Who? * Also, time for 'AFLW Rd 08: vs North Melbourne'? Whose turn?

Has there been any analysis of which shots were most problematic in 2023, both relatively and absolutely? Set shots, subsets angle and distance? In play, subsets running and snap? Kick type, subsets straight and round the corner? This might inform the type of coach experience / skill set.

(😁 A typo no doubt, YB, but...) To any who think his career so far hasn't been up to AFL standard, that'll be good news!

Would Blake Howes swap his Shane Woewodin / Shane McGrath 22?

McAdam's in. Close thread. 😁

And here's how you do it, Kossie. Keep trying! 😊 https://www.google.com/search?q=shane+mcadam+speccy&oq=shane+mcadam+speccy&aqs=chrome..69i57j33i160.16327j0j4&client=ms-android-samsung-ss&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#vuanr=4

I'm bereft. That's a cumulative half hour a day I now have to find something else to do with! But welcome, Shane, to you and to your fairly successful first name, MFC-wise. As to your surname, we'll endeavour to get it right by the time of your 30th goal in 2024.

It'll eventually be in someone's auto/biography. My bet's on Max's. It'd be the most entertaining. Simon's or Brodie's might have a 'different' slant? Or maybe it's drilled into in 'Gus & Gawny - The 20th Anniversary Edition'?

Mwahhahaha!

I inferred that the 4 clubs would then go on to play in the second week (in the other clubs' 'Round 1'), have a compensating bye in the following weeks, then go on to also be part of the mid-season bye arrangements ( meaning, for MFC. as we know, a 9-day break between 2 interstate trips...)

I'm afraid not, Old. The women's games are worth 8 points

And the only reason they can think of is that it pits Brodie against us. Sheesh.

So the season gets longer by yet another week? Won't be any need for pre-season soon; Christmas Eve grand final, a split Christmas / New Year bye and on to the next season. A voracious appetite, has the AFL... Mind you, if it forced compression of the trade and draft period, that'd be a blessing...

Not yours, Trigo; Closed Captions and a softly spoken (under great duress!) Tim Lamb. Lloyd Bridges: that's how to evolve a career! 🤣

Glad to hear Daniher, Hipwood, etc are having skinfold problems, then (though not if it contributed to their GF loss...) Lamb actually said 'queue' but dear old 'Closed Captions' thought better...

😄 But tell us how you do feel, DG; don't be snaky. p.s. ZeroHangar has Dogs, GWS and North as the clubs having the fancies that might warrant it...er...him.

Nice. And very pleased for Angus and those around him. (Though, 'someone'?!)
