Engorged Onion

Sounds like Channel 7 commentary when Stringer happens to hit a target 12 metres away... I would have thought all those passages were pretty straightforward when you've got good awareness and relatively skilled Nonetheless, it looked great and was full of effort...

Mmmm indeed, I really rate Hannan, and don't at all buy into each player needing to have an 'even contribution' throughout each quarter to be seen as a pass mark to getting a game the next week. ps: can you add 'grumpy dom' as your photo - as seen in the song being sung vs carlton

The last point is an interesting one. Many others on here may instantly agree and seem obvious to them , I’m surprised that this is the case (can you detail Oliver’s stats please)- I assumed he had plateau - but then perhaps I’m merely expecting great sexy sublime things weekly now and my expectations have regressed to the mean.

Check mate!

loved his indepth analysis of Melksham....

as most would... (not a crack at you @Stretch Johnson no surprise that an environment where he (anyone) is supported means they have opportunity to thrive.

I didnt have volume - for whom was the black armband honouring?

Yeah but look at the calibre we have beaten...

His 45 metre, inside 50 pass to TMAC who handballed it on to Hannan for a goal, was an exemplar of his decision making and execution skills... long may Brayshaw have a good clear run of injuries.

You're a harsh judge on Hannan @Chook

Glad you're passionate and these comments to me a nonsensical. We've landed Lewis and Lever in the last few pre seasons. So we're not bullied. And something to warm the cockles - A contact of a contact of a contact (I've been umming ahhing about putting this forward, as I know certain personnel hate this), alluded that Gaff was not dissimilar to Lever, in that Goodwin and co have been maintaining relationships with him for years...unless something drastically changes...well...not dissimilar to Lever. So in my mind, it'll play out quite nicely for us.

It's a really interesting point @stevethemanjordan. Why would some football departments choose to develop some players in the VFL vs some in the AFL. What are the factors that govern this decision making? I don't know, perhaps some enlightened individuals can shed some light on this?

By that statement Stevo, do you hold the coaching staff (and by proxy) him personally accountable for the 0.5%?

Mocked ?!?

Out: Weiderman (Calf) In: Bull zing!

1,5 hours x 1200 x 8 = $I wish I was in that profession...

break out the popcorn eh... nom nom nom

Mmm, he did lead off with that, which is all about the doubt - so it makes sense he concludes with it - as that is all he really has.

Following the report from Nick Bowen live whilst I wait a further 1.5 hours at an airport as some bloke tried to rip the door of a plane...ugh. Anyways, Gleeson sounds so so compelling, I can't fathom how either of them can not be suspended.

Please explain how he is being 'rushed back'? This could be an infinite problem as in essence every week is potentially one week too early and can be seen as rushed back. Trust the medico's decision making.

Fair comment @Farmer - I said that out of turn and tarring him with the same brush as Dank etc was not accurate.

not a golf coach - most of them mean well but...

With reference to the topic title... I do like that the foundations of Radelaide are less sound with McGovern now out.

id be interested @Demon17to know what they discussed in particular about the psychology of goal kicking. I did just jump on sen online to get a link to it...no luck. FWIW - the anxiety around missing/judgement from others when I miss, always governs the 'safety behaviour'. This may look different for each individual. Typically though it looks like not kicking fully through the ball. This make sense as the brain is trying to 'guide' the ball through...and reduce discomfort whilst the action is occurring...however the short term relief increases in more stress because it means you're actually LESS likely to get the outcome that you are after...the goal. It'll be helpful for CP5 to be more willing to kick the ball as he would if he was confidence (smooth flow, kick fully) with the anxiety...and no doubt he is well aware of how [censored] he is going, thus amplifing the need to control the kick and other safety behaviours etc etc... and on the kicking yips goes, because he gets more evidence that he hasn't kicked one yet.
