  1. Or changing their words.. 😜 😜 😜
  2. Umm before I have a great deal of fun making some people here call themselves names..... Has anyone noticed you can edit other people post when quoting them? See above I added to Pickett's post. I kept it nice.
  3. Good God Just switched on Kayo and the promo picture for the Giants v Hawks game was Sicily and Toby Greene. I was about to eat dinner. Shheeesh. Looks more like a picture extolling the benefits of birth control.
  4. I couldn't agree more Mr better air temp. In fact early in this thread you'll see several posts by yours truly saying it's better for everyone if he goes now. Waiting for the sYit storm of media noise this week to become a self fullfilling prophecy should be preempted. Do it now so he will be honoured in the annals ( for want of a better word) of history for the delivery a hallowed flag after 56 bloody long agonising years. In fact I'm starting to bore myself with this argument. You and I , I think, are in total agreement my wise friend. Plus a new coach even if only for a couple of games seems to inject some new gusto and esprit de corps ( My only French) and with it often a few wins. And that would be nice.
  5. Nobody asked you to read it. Fair dinkum. Like your was just was But maybe it wss as ineeded some myrth. Thanks heaps GL. Enjoy the replay. PD did you apply this conclusion to the myriad of other similar posts to mine. If not please go away.
  6. Cheers Bb. Oh game day, the roller coaster of highs and lows. The expectation v the reality. A microcosm of the footy season. I'm sure Goody has been checking his contract to today. That's one thing for sure. And is probably browsing holidaymax as we speak.
  7. Up until last week I was all for him. I don't know disagree in the slightest. But for a variety of reasons. He deserves respect but needs to go. So the sooner the better.
  8. Um ... what have you been watching? 😏
  9. Onevfinal thing. I believe Gws are a very good side. Based on last year's metrics. Where do Nth M. and Gcs for in the scheme of things? What happens when we play like this v a powerhouse.?
  10. I'm gonna say this and if I get scolded than so be it. Are there too many off field issues? I know there have been personal problems and I sympathize. But are some players just spoilt? Or perhaps too far removed from most peoples reality? Sure it's a pressure industry but the perks are pretty damn good. Cars, glamour million dollar salaries, free all expense paid oseas trips, sponsorships up the wazoo, models and fancy clothes and restaurants. How about living in the real world wondering as an 58 year old man when you can replace the baby bum tyres on your wives car or pay the premium on the fire insurance. Or even the repayment on the mortgage or the weekly rent for the caravan you live in. Or if you have a job tomorrow? Deal with those for a couple of weeks. Live in the real world for a month and see if your footy gets better. I've had my rant. Thank you. Perhaps it's time I give footy a rest for the sake of my sanity and that I don't hurt anyone's ears here.
  11. I had so much hope for this bloke. Revelled in the collective cry of roooo. No feel like it should be boooo. He's young but is this season four? Went backwards last year but gave him the benefit of doubt. Worse this year. Poor chap. He's no Curnow that's for sure.
  12. Wish I could help. It's hard to swallow this type of performance. Last week was clearly no abberation My tax return was a lot better than anticipated.
  13. Do you really want the great coach and man seen responsible for wooden spoon? I don't. And then what. How well will we do the the year after. I personally respect the man. Yes I've called for his head today but genuinely because I don't want to see him removed because we missed two double chances, then finished 14 , then last and then another poor year. Let him go now. Best for him and couldn't be worse for the club. That's where I think it's win win in a tight spot.
  14. Yea your right to a degree. Our fwd line pressure or lack of thereof has seen several " coast to coast goals". ( Fritta a whacking two tackles off the back of none last week) But they still need to be faster to recover and regroup. The fumbles have to stop. And they need to communicate much more. But I'm just so tired of seeing to defenders go for the same mark against one opponent who had the footy iq to stay down and watch them make a meal of it. So I think on balance the backline has gone backwards. 22 is was our fwd line ( still realing) 23 despite the constant objections by several prominent and respected posters here....see our fwd line review in previous paragraph. 24 our backline .....see above again. A new coach if not before. And a bus load of some tough trading and recruiting. Thanks for the ride MFC it was incredible while it lasted.
  15. He should bow out now under the guise of personal reasons ( that he's personally forgotten how to win). But in all seriousness he should leave before what you say comes to pass. As it sure will. He's a premiership coach that needs to leave with as much dignity as possible. Rather than being sacked for a shocker of a year that will overshadow his incredible achievement..
  16. This is going to be a long thread and sadly a much longer season.
  17. I wish we could drop eight. So very very much.
  18. Three things glaringly wrong with our club. The fwd department The backline and the midfield. Three characteristics that define it .... too old , too slow and too lazy. Three characters that sum it up .....Fritta, Billings and Sparrow. To be fair fritta played a bit better but didn't kick a single goal. Where to now? Playing to avoid winning the spoon I Guess. Do we sack Goody. Who else? Or do we drop half a dozen, concede another defeat but enjoy the humiliation of some marque players? I know thatsceromg. I'm angry. As I'm sure many of you all are. It bloody hurts. I complained that the clubs fwd line was useless and the club has been 200,% negligent in not fixing it for the last three years. Bit it's clearly well and truly deeper than that. Silly me. Our once hailed midfield of Jv, CP and CO led by the comps best rm in eons is cooked. Or once touted defence that stopped even the best , kicking over 12 goals a game has disappeared. And our fwd line. ....I've said enough now for a long time. Over to someone else... Cheers guys. Upside for me, is at least I turned off at half time and cut the grass instead of hitting the grog. So not all bad. The garden is in great shape.
  19. Abswruckinlukely. Falling headfirst into the abyss and lead by players who should know and play so much bloody better. Total disgrace. Goodbye Goody. I defended you last week but I am totally unaware as to why. So many senior players too busy counting their money and not caring about the club. If only they were paid when they actually gave a toss. Last week someone mentioned and complained some of the players were booed off. Well another non effort like today and I for one would be leading the chorus. It's official. We stink.
  20. Thanks for the positivity. Yes we still can for sure. But I'll probably go and mow the lawns just in case. If we win bonus replay. Lose and at least it's not a complete waste of a day. Good luck. See you in the funny papers.
  21. Thanks Mr C. Snake . At least Milkshake has still got it. And I called for Bowser to moved fwd two weeks ago. He is fast, fleet of foot,has great hand to eye coordination and in the limited opportunities had good goal awareness. Given Kozzie s suspension and Nibbler leaving, Chins apparent cameo for the year, he could be handy.
  22. Thanks very much. Bloody shame for the young kid. Been doing well. Heartbreaking for him. Time to call the season off.
  23. Quick question.. Which department has been the worst today,? Forward Midfield Or Backline? Trick question...... they're all on the nose.
