yeah nah means no nah yeah means yes

soooooo..... what does Melbourne have?

Isle of view.

As a country member, I am already frothing to see photos from training next week of this bloke. Hope you’re turning up @Satyriconhome a lot of people are banking on you and grateful for your efforts. Your brief from the unwashed plebs that cannot make it is -‘Comparison shots’ against Gawn, Preuss, Weid and TMaC would be helpful

often known as the River Trent

Que? What do you read from that statement @Clint Bizkit?

He didn't mean it from a 'how we prepared as a club perspective, we were blindsided due to strategy/tactics etc' - it was a reference to the context of where the playing group was at from a rehab perspective. *apologies, my rage, didn't see that 48 other posters had written essentially the same thing...

His burst from a standing start is quite something...

I also think that if he is a great player and then wants to go home...well, we then receive some benefit from a trade at a higher level anyway. These are the realities that the industry operates in, and we may as well cash in at any given point in time.

I was agreeing with you... xo - peoples view is often contingent of where 'we' sit on the ladder from a drafting perspective, and you my friend were teasing out the nuance of drafting vs development.

Mmm clarity, even without the cheroot!

In 2019 - We’re 17th! ‘It’s woeful!’ In 2018 - we’ve made a prelim! ‘The acquisition of Oliver was a master stroke, our recruiting has been ‘bang on’ And with the usual attrition of players not coming on as per all other clubs’

do you mean the track watchers?? ?

Pumping up his tyres a lot you are. Are you his favourite uncle @spirit of norm smith?

Cool. I look forward to your report and subsequent criticisms of the live action

Out of curiousty - Were you at the sesh @DeeSpencer??

THAT escalated quickly... What on earth do you mean?

Demonland posters do, what demonland posters do...

is that the second time you've mentioned it now?... 'tis verging on a big deal to you

With a nod and a wink, the afl will let us do what we want as, they took pick 2 away from us.

The injuries were catastrophic. The 'lack of depth'... isn't a lack per se, it's where any football team would have been at, in trying to plug holes with player 40 on their list.

Bingo @BAMF - I've seen him present at places over the years ( I am in a different, but overlapping discipline) If he all about running, he'd never have been employed by Melbourne, let alone Arsenal etc etc etc

Yep, looks nice. But can he coach this particular discipline? Clearly the club are backing him and his style. He's been around the club long enough, they know how he operates, and how he educates the players. Sigh, sometimes it feels on this forum that the only case that is put forward that legitimises someones role to coach other players, is if they were an out and out champion in a particular position.

Fiasco feels a bit strong. Disappointment yes, more so for him, rather than the club. HO,FD, whomever; should rightly back themselves and their medical dept to get great outcomes for individuals and thus the team. Clearly it's easy in hindsight to shake the fist at the cloud and say "I told you so". Not that KK is done yet. Mind, what's your current stance on picking up Harley B?

Ahhh! You’re an oracle. I get your posturing now
