In Harmes Way

I'd urge everyone on here to watch the Netflix documentary "The Turnaround" which is based on a baseball team in the states that bought in a high profile, high cost player that struggled, and was copping it from fans at the ground and online and continued to struggle. One fan started a movement through social media to give him a round of applause and positive feedback every time he came out to bat, despite the fact he wasn't playing well - and he responded by fairly quickly rising from his slump to lead the league in hitting home runs and took them to the finals. It's a good watch, with a good message. We should be mindful we've had a one-off bad game at a venue we don't play at often/well -> I'd like to think any players who feel they're struggling, reading social media comments (as I'm sure they do) don't get too down on themselves and perpetuate their form lines - perhaps how we frame our thoughts might have a part to play (not saying you have to be a happy clapper). Looking forward to the team lifting this weekend and having an afternoon in the sun.

Whilst I'm not blaming the venue, I hope we never play at Marvel again.

For a man whose posts I read intently, this one didn’t age well Dz

There was another game at the g around 3-4 yrs ago where we lost by 3 points when Maxy missed a shot at goal from the top of the square. Might have been R1

I’ll take a favourable draw with some less than ideal game timeslots

I was entertaining clients in a corporate box in Perth watching Freo play Sydney. Free alcohol will help

Swingman. lol.

The big sign announcing it to the world is the opposite of sneaky!

Agreed. I drive a Subaru not a rangey

I had to read this three times od. I missed the “he” after binman, I thought you were saying Binnie hasn’t played a good game for 18 months 😒

Do you reckon they’ll bring Spargs in as sub? Ease him into it?

Maysie’s strength is not kicking for goal

This is the NM team from R1 that were in their game vs doggies to 3QT and then faded in the last. Petty to Larkey, TMac can take Darling, the Howes role would be v Zurhaar to free up Lever for intercept marking (worked well yesterday); but I'm not sure Howes is the matchup. I can see three tall(ish) forwards against this backline and under the roof. I'm sure we learnt something from playing them a couple of weeks ago in this regard - Disco in for AJ the only change for mine. Overall we're far too strong in the guts.

And I thought we got a couple of insufficient OOB's free kicks through noise of affirmation. Wouldn't have been because they were actually there.

Hopefully Jeffo takes a chunk of confidence from that game and builds. His leading pattern and mark in the last qtr for the goal reminded me of Neita.

Given the money they’ve pumped into this, why don’t they share their stadium with our co-tenants and give our MCG back to us

Unless we’re 6-0 Adam

You can show yourself out dub

Isn’t that loitering within tent?

Watch him make all 6 debutants the sub

Fixed

I'd be surprised if they get on the plane to come down here.

Bit harsh picket. In the wet, you want strong second efforts for when the ball hits the deck which I think Johnson delivers in spades

Good fun. Loved the goals they picked. I was at all those games bar the granny. Absolutely loved Clarry's - shut those crows fans right up. I was yelling out "how good was that" to a silent grandstand from the third back row. And I made it out alive

And six Kossie’s
