Engorged Onion

it may have been said already, I have a strong hunch, Gaff will nominate, when his club is out of the finals... north aint in the finals, and he aint going to nominate West Coast as he is already there....

thought i'd get this thread up and running again... ?

winning....watch out for the iceheads.

by the way, how awesome and purely just a sign of the god he is, was Clarry and Selwood coming together...and Clarry pirouetting.. with ball in hand to give it off... sex on [censored] legs he is.

7 friday night games next year lads...

I've just shed a tear at this...

ablett looks cooked eh...

Any updates on whether Goodwin is the right guy?

hee hee, kidding myself im not nervous... plenty of pacing... and internally doing ???

For all those mung bean eating, cord and sandal wearing lefty Melbourne supporters...

the wife, taking the pi$$ - dressing the boy as a feral geelong supporter...

curmudgeon...

If you're not reading The Roar, here is another article I'm just getting into the website recently, and it's an enjoyable informed read. Here's a preview of tonight

Thanks @ProDee But, what do I do with this?!?

Just saw Rance v Puopolo... It blows my mind that Rance is still lauded as an upstanding citizen by commentators who are watching his games LIVE - when there is plenty of video evidence to the contrary, on just about a weekly basis. If his name was Mitch Robinson or Hayden Ballentyne etc etc etc...

You don't think the FD have thought of this stuff...seriously??

So what, you're saying is that we will be the better team over the 4 quarters... have greater scoring shots, and still may lose? Yep, I'd go with that one too...

I too, can't bare to watch this game with anyone else around, so my better half has unreluctantly gone a retreat for the weekend, and I'll have the little lad tucked up in bed. The phone will be off, and I'll be having some home made pizza (someone mentioned this elsewhere...always the best choice, compared to shop purchased fare). I believe in Goodwin's philosophy of the contested game stacks up in finals... I'm not worried about that, I'm interested in how the (potentially?!?) increased intensity affects our game style... I also don't believe our players will be overawed...I think that is a post hoc analysis if a team has lost...so that in itself won't be the answer. Keen to hear what others are looking for tactically.

Practically, what does a team do to ‘deal with’ Richmond’s, constant knocking on, spiking (a la volleyball) etc at all costs? Do we incorporate it into our game style - personally I think it’s intuitive and works well in our game.

mmm, his gut was either team would give the other a rogering....

As the Spice Girls once sang Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want So tell me what you want, what you really, really want I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want So tell me what you want, what you really, really want I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna really, really, really wanna injury carnage for the other 6 teams....

Anything to do with Wayne, well you know, I tend to shut down...but anyone's my best friend when they tell me things I want to hear... https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/demons-rising-a-new-september-force-gathers-20180906-p5023s.html?crpt=homepage

It's never the first game back that's the issue, it's the recovery between the first and second and the fatigue for the second that's the problem for players...

Play ‘It’s a Grand Old Flag’ on repeat all week in my business (I’m in the Geelong area) and smile knowingly at my staff and clients...

So, one of the clear plans for Geelong is to shark the ball in the contest...they back theirs...we back ours... (we've got better stoppers who can damage going forward (Harmes on form, viney, I'd imagine ANB may go to Ablett, with his running power, and AVB and Trac with their bigger body.core strength to impede the Danger/Selwood/Ablett/Menegola getting the ball)). Also having Max drop into the backline, and the rebound from Hibberd/Salem, will be used to scythe through transition on the 45 for ANB, Trac to allow TMAC, Weid to mark the ball in the F50 and if they don't mark it, Spargo to be front and centre at the fall to snaffle the crumbs and ANB to poach 3 goals running into the goal square... Just on that... Spargo for a cool 5 goals
