Engorged Onion

Garry Lyon letting it slip just there on Foxtel, that it’s a Port vs Brisbane final ant the Gabba and a Melbourne Collingwood match at the ‘G’ as a fair au complit.

Just channeling the typical DL supporters, who at this stage would be saying that if Port can’t beat the Tigers with authority they are no chance in the finals. *as an aside, I think Port will lose, and we will lose more betterer.

Thanks, that was a great way to explain it. 😀

Hi draft enthusiasts. Can you walk me through how we could possibly get him, but more importantly - why would teams (ie: West Coast) want to trade with us so that we 'could' get him, what's the benefit to them? For some reason, this stuff never sticks in my prefrontal cortex.

Only a mental benefit if you are trying desperately to win on a personal level, perhaps failing to take into account what is useful/functional for the team overall - in which case the dissonance, and the distress is diminished. *one beer deep before hosting a mexican feast night - how was that for some alliteration? It was so good in fact, I'll high 5 myself. ✋

Notwithstanding that The Suns are owned by the AFL

Inside intel, or is your server just quicker?... asking for a friend.

I like Turner and know nothing of him. What’s to like? For those in the know, what are his best attributes? FWIW, May has looked proppy on and off throughout the last 4 months… good to have a week without collisions for him.

Thanks for detailing your credentials there Russell.

quality of the image wasn't the giveaway that it was maybe a decade ago?? 🙌

I wondered which post this would turn up at. Well played :)

Stressing over injuries though 😵

#nottankingjustbeingresponsible

About as good as the time when the ball was gently thrown towards Dangerfield - then he moved his arm out of the way and proceeded to rort a 50…not that I am bitter.

They being 'The AFL' and Ambassador 💰💰💰

Couldn't help the subconscious link eh... Bombers...substance etc etc 🙌

😇

Thanks, appreciate that. I don't think he is down on confidence as some have suggested, he is fairly consistent. He did look a little injured/sluggish yesterday, and still did some great chase downs... I guess I just feel there are always ebbs and flows throughout the season and some games you might be 20% down on previous weeks outputs (whatever metric you are using) - I think that's reasonable as it's a season that goes for 6 months... 6 bloody months ,and they run the equivalent of a marathon a week during game day and training, in such a ballistic sport, where they're getting knocks, injuries etc and still running a marathon. They're pretty special athletes (all AFL players).

Vibe? Or Source?

Oh! A 'nope rope'... Interesting data @Skuit, I'm still waiting for him to take a hanger... Anyway, he almost kicked the first of the game, so I don't think it has to do with the context of the location or the crowd... We do like to look for patterns to make sense of things, I just feel it's a bit of a long bow to draw, considering you have detailed he plays the hardest position on the ground (Hawks were flooding back, so space was limited)... etc etc.

Yep, I was on the same wavelength about reasons to drop him. Took some hits, and did some very nice subtle things.

Fascinating watching us choose to kick it around the 50m arc 4/5 times throughout the match (as did Hawthorn) without penetrating and going for what feels like the 'usual' long bomb to a pack. I'm not sure if it was about conserving energy, a deliberate change in tactics (and be that, due to personnel) or whether it was due to Hothron, flooding back and filling in the spaces. Good to see though.

Were you sitting comfortably for the first 3?😵

Behind the 8 ball, rehab, injury etc having gone to the GF. Which objectively is very valid. I will throw my hat in the ring, that I quite like Chris.
