Engorged Onion

Definitely a shift in interpretation...and 'amazingly' the commentators are in synch with it 🤷‍♀️

Are we assuming that we were prepared to lose 2 of 3 to fall back to the pack (should have beat Sydney)- so to speak... loading a bit earlier than the others...and then for the others (Freo, Bris, Carlton, GTown) to load at some stage and also potentially have diminished returns from winning... I'd think so also... 👌

Me too, I just ran 15km for the first time in 2 months (when I first got it....lingering...lingering, phlegm)... I've just barfed my lungs up. 🤮 #humblebrag 😉

I appreciate this forum is a place to vent for some people, and what really riles me, is that there is often vitriol towards umpires from certain posters. Personal attacks wouldn't be accepted against any other group. So why these individuals? It wouldn't be tolerated in my house against anyone, I'd send my 6yo to his room, and if I spoke like that, I'd send myself to the room and give myself a good long talking to about respect, compassion and common decency. So it's been bugging me that this forum perhaps doesn't sanction that sort of commentary (perhaps it does and I am not aware of it). We can do better Demonlanders. #notallDemonlanders A sample of EO when people were 'attacking' "Britney' 😉...or 'PRGUY17'

The only good thing to come out of Covid (at least in a football sense) was watching matches and being able to hear the players call out instructions etc... I'd love the simplicity of that when watching live tv, or on replay...

That was against us wasn't it? 😇

One of my favourite Demetriouisms

Oh hello, we're winning again - so I'm back trawling through the usuals.😇 Here is The Mongrel Punts latest masterpiece.

Pretty sure some Wag on here said that by observing how Jackson played, would tell us whether he was going to sign a contract or not... ps... I would have posted this if i had a poor game as well, or even a middling... none of these things would be instructive of anything.

"Resting on Laurels".... I disagree that the losses have been attitudinal...

Lights going out and a kick in the balls, I said...

Think about it in this way... loading right now, doesn't mean there is not further loading. ie:Planned Progression... @BW511 can explain it more thoroughly than I could.

Well, we clearly disagree on the factors driving the performance and that's ok. Nonetheless, it all bodes well for the rest of the year. Go Dees. 👌

Are the last three posts on this thread serious? Hunt and ruthlessness? Do you genuinely believe the last 3 weeks was down to attitude? Or that it's too early to load? (multiple cycles in a 6-7 month program) Goodwin just spoke about 3-4 hard weeks on the track... That's some fairly useful information to make sense of what has been influencing performance.

Curious, merely quoting Fages? Or hammering home a view that you're still perpetually disappointed by the team?

That was a 42% goal kicking accuracy exhibition against essentially the second best side in the league and still winning by circa 10 goals. 37 scoring shots to 18.... Hopefully Fages' discusses loading in his presser.

Looking forward to some 'absolute' statements' in reference to a loss in this thread. 👌

1000% am living the same life. 😍

So now that it's spoken about publicly, what does it mean for betting companies now, going forward? SFA?

I had thought that when I saw Wright (Rick)...🤙

As I am a bit of a geography/cartography nerd... I saw a bunch of island names. King Island Stewart Island Isle of Mann Isle of Lewis Outer Banks No McKernan island though, but I did google a Corey!

should of had a soundtrack to it 👌 Always curious as to how the medalists worked it out? Did it strike you immediately when you saw the surnames? Or was it a bit of google trial and error?

Did you manage to listen to the commentary from Grandstand?

There is no doubt that player age (time in system), biomechanical and physological output matters when setting up training cycles. What I am fascinated about is that - let's assume that each club (18) have the top/best/most experienced, and thus all are abrest of 'best practice' in exercise sport science. Are the variations of loading between teams, governed by personal philosophy based on historical experience (Burgess overtly spoke about that on the podcast of his philosophy changing), or is it more nuanced and individual player based? Would it be based on opposition you are playing over say rounds 9-13 as well as looking at where you are currently points-wise to get to the post season?

appreciate your write ups 👌
