Including OMAC AND SAM FROST 😂

Nah, none of that is relevant to some folk, who are just so myopic about the W/L and what the optics look like on game day irrespective of personnel. It's this constant need to place blame somewhere as though the FD and athletes aren't chipping away at improving systems, themselves and ultimately outcomes. The expectations since the '21 finals have been so lofty, that anything less (which was inevitable) is seen as failure and thus any individual or in effect the whole club is culpable. 🤷‍♀️🫠

So, is Contest and Defence dead? Is the MFC now behind the curve of where the game is at? It was once comfortably ahead by a year, or perhaps only 6 months. Fast, free flowing football, as evidenced by last year and this year, seem to be the paradigm of choice. So what will be the tactics and system that rebut it? And does Goodwin and co, have the innovative nous to attempt to combat this. I'm not great at articulating methodology of tactics and going into forensic detail of systems and game plans - but some my DL brethren may. Feel free to come up with some theories about where we may be headed from a tactical and system perspective.

'Ken oath Plenty will be frothing over it 💦

Looking forward to a synthesis of all these viewpoints for the end of season review power point presentation.

Great post @DistrACTION Jackson - I never think in terms of what is happening ahead of time and could be more beneficial than a trade in the near and now. I appreciate posters like you 😘

Without going into full 'butterfly effect' mode - I wondering how many non tackles from Fritsch directly results in a goal to the opposition....

Oh he will be ropeable because he knows he doesnt have a gameplan and is too matey with his players and makes confusing match day decisiopns, and also regrets drafting, so I guess he will be pretty upset.

Mostly sarcastic...

I dunno, for me, Bont doesnt seem to stand up in finals when it counts... he is the Thierry Henri of AFL...

Well researched

It's the same for every single other supporter of every other club. The sense of persecution is ubiquitous across each team depending how invested the supporter is. I'd assume its a bit of a bell curve .. .15% don't care, 70% prefer it wouldn't happen and 15% are the vocal lot that put their care on the table. And then there is the folk that complain about people complaining And then there are those that complain about the negativity And those that complain about the positivity And everyone is correct and find it difficult to accept alternate viewpoints.

Yeah… tbh they have had that sort of year where they can probably attribute it to something else. I doubt they’ll review the tape 😅🙌🏼

it's only that, if you care on that night...

Nothing like the idea of a workplace where it's performance at all costs 😂

The joy of Hinkley for another season at Port 😇

So why would it be ok in the last two rounds to cue in the rack it - considering the context of injury and where we are at - but not now? It makes not a jot of difference - and we’ll stick with pick 6 thanks 🤩

Enjoying our goal kicking accuracy

How's the animosity towards the club and the players on this thread... 🫠

Whilst we do bag Champion Data, when it doesn't suit our narrative, I am very very pleased for ANB. If you looked in the dictionary for quiet achiever...etc etc.

I got the notification from you Rab - and was worried that you were going to tell me that there is plenty of *** swinging between Arbroath* and Queen of the South 😎 *could do with a smokie

The wankerdom around the need to have high crowds as a measure of your teams worth happens no where else in the world. In no other sport, not since BIG TV (tm) do people swing their [censored]’s (anatomical correct language for appendage in case it gets censored) in reference to this. a) revenue is mostly derived elsewhere b) athletes don’t ‘really’ care c) …. Errr so why still is it part of the afl cultural landscape? *seriously PEN IS is censored?
