Engorged Onion

You've got longer hair than I though and a great speech by yer old man.

No, there is no rule, and I assume the umpires were umpring for the 'spirit of the game'.... interpret that how you will.

For all the haters there is a lot of love for OMAC eh :)

Thanks @GCDee and @Docs Demons - that looks like a better option...

Can any locals shed light on the best PT options coming from Palm Beach/Currumbin for the day?

huh..I can't see the relevance to my post... this was about hitting a target with great vision and perfect execution, vs kicking for goal.

Just a thought - If Jay Lockhart had held the mark in the final 3 minutes and jagged a goal- Petracca would be hailed a genius with that kick.

Not bells - this place

I'm surprised at Hunt's capacity in the forward line - he has elements of toughness and does not shirk the contest, yet I feel lacks presence....but perhaps that is just hype from media for others and not our own. I loved the lead where he scored a goal...that felt like early 1990's stuff... am I right in that since he has moved there, he is good for 2 goals or so a game?

ill be on the goldy - looking forward to banking some sweet sweet % this week... last time was a 15 goal win right...achievable?

Not that my personal opinion counts for anything... I have conceded that when Lever, May and Jetta are fit (and even if Jetta is not fit)...he has a short AFL career ahead of him.... ? But hey, we are a team that has recruited a whole heap of $hhit brothers... Cockatoo Collins (s) Ottens Holland Gaspar etc etc erm longevity - the great A.Jakovich

If I could say one thing that pervades this website (and it's not about you @dees189227) is we fit what the football club does to suit what ever happens, even though these things have minimal impact really. And of course, typically to the negative.

nah, he's a $hhit gameday coach...

I think our differing points of view are a bridge to far... and I'll leave you with this thought All are better coaches than Goodwin, because they now have silverware... so its a post hoc evaluation. Early in their career as coaches, they also were not viewed as 'good' or 'able to 'build' a team...nor had won silverware.This is exactly where Goodwin sits right now. Whilst it's a results driven business, and he media push a narrative that a win each week is the only thing that matters, what the underpinning evidence is, is that stability at a board level and at a head coach level, matters for success. Because of this, I would hope Goodwin stays on for his contract.

Huh, how the hell are they unprofessional? Success is never linear....and we have been decimated by injuries.

Nor is there also evidence that he has failed. This has happened plenty of times before at plenty of other clubs, within the last decade and a bit Thompson at Geelong Clarkson at Hawthorn Hardwick at Richmond Simpson at WCE Roos at Sydney Aside from Beveridge, who had a lucky tin ar$e month - all premiers (and those who are there abouts 'Buckley')...have slumped before reaching the pinnacle. Success is never linear, just because you want it now, doesn't mean its a failure...and to use a cliche - it's a process.

please explain how one's need to demand things as a supporter influences this change?

you do, as you're posting about it

very few things to bask in the glory of currently @Ethan Tremblay - we all love a bit of schadenfreude from time to time.

@Ron Burgundy, is that irony by definition, or Alanis Morrisettes version of irony?

multiple likes...

I find these suggestions laughable, because what is the alternate...they've only got the playing list that they have... the would neither over rate or under rate them, and even if they do, it's all a moot point - as the results will be what the results will be. Any team who has had an injury list to the top tier of their best 22 players will suffer dramatically - see the Tiges as a point in case at the moment also, and we have had it to my last count a significant amount of players that significantly influence structure...May, Viney, TMAC, Petracca, Hannan, Oliver, Kolarjazzknee ;), Jetta, AVB, Joel Smith and i wont include him (but I will) Lever... that's half of the 22 that are underdone... So on that, I'd argue that no club can 'cover' that depth, and that there was no hope or suspicion that they could get away with it... that they can only make do with what they have and the results are a direct result (not an excuse) of the preseason injuries/rehab.

The conversations on here blow my mind sometimes, as they're always versions about where someone got picked - and everyone elses expectations of how they should be playing due to where they got picked. As though those outside the club and the rest of AFL world, know what level 'said player' 'should' be at - based purely on where their own personal expectations of what progression or potential looks like... its a bit of laugh really...

Only if you want it to fit a particular narrative @DV8

maybe it's all scripted (just like the truman show) - tanking is in the headlines again, we are paying our penance in 2019 and will be a story of redemption in 2020...
