Engorged Onion

@tiersfor the first time - i noticed that yesterday also. It really helps open up the congestion AND helps us spread. It wasn't so long ago that we were bemoaning the lack of outside speed (which still in essence is true) but to counteract that - the ball movement is king to helping us with that weakness...Which by my rekonning, meant we have had to work harder initially to improve those areas (stoppages and ball movement)...and they can only hold us in good stead come finals times.

it's almost like journo's come to demonland and get the gossip/facts from here...

aside from the last 4 that we have won... there is history, and there is recent history. chin up , they'll prepare accordingly for it

It's a valid point, I was observing myself over the last few wins, probably being calm mid way through the 3rd. BUT still wanting them to pursue it really hard - as it would feel too much like our old fragile selves to let a glut of goals through.

I’ll be happy with 4 1 point quarter wins ?

The boys have nothin on the class of 2011 - Col Sylvia 4 goals - 96 point drubbing... Just look at some of those names ?

Oh @Big Demon - I hope that’s your handle and your real name is Luke Beveridge or Nathan Buckley

I was up there last year...long story, honouring the memory of the old man (2 years gone today) - got a book for my then 16month old boy of bird songs and birds in the Arrente langauge...tis a favourite.

Obscure reference...but hey...

Jonesy must be dilirious - this sort of form vs what he has experienced throughout his career. Rapt for him.

firmly entrenched

I get your sentiment, however if you are ever out a pub trivia night...the answer is Antartica.

Is goodwin the right guy?? ...sorry that's a bit rough....context is important.

Love the late goal

feels like hyperbole there SWYL - is there any evidence to back this up?

In reading the Casey files over the past 6 weeks or so, I'm interested in Harley Balic, I get a sense he may be knocking on the door, and is putting forward a solid body of work - fair to say he could be close to getting a call up? If anyone has any observations?

weller is the man...(paul not mav)

God it is nice to be on the other side of this conversation...

That was fantastic @Rod Grinter Riot Squad ! [censored] Dean Wallis though!

Well he's young, therefore he get's tired, expect for the time when he is also young and therefore full of exuberance and pep. Also he is young and doesnt have leadership skills, except for the time when he is also young and not blighted by our losses.

Mmmm, coincided with poor membership, needing to generate income. On reflection our batting average is quite shite out of the last 7-8 years everywhere.

What is it exactly that you want to hear from him? IMO - he is clear and concise and doesnt engage in hyperbole.

Oh I thought we were talking about Jeff White... I felt so sad when he passed, about as sad as when Jimmy did. Sean as a human was well regarded in his community circles as a man of dignity... cancer seems to always take the good one's young (and for the pedants on here (all of us??) please don't attack the last statement for 'confirmation bias'.
