there was a non paid throw in the lead up to that goal, rationalised as 'knocked out'. -
mmmmm. Ben Keys has a bit of a Bayley Fritsch aesthetic about him.

Yes, the scots tend to think that. However, having spent around 6 months in the Orkney’s they’d say they’re Orcadian first and then drift to Caithness/Sutherland next and Scottish third… must be an island thing 😎

Let us get a working definition of abuse vs sledging vs 'putting off'.

Art is... always subjective and always cultural. And from what I know as a privileged white middle aged bloke... there will be a story that I can't connect with by merely looking at it... ...until it is put in print to me, in which case I then reflect on the paucity of ritual and connection to land that my ancestors that emigrated here 150 years ago passed on to me. That's when the object that I am looking at makes sense, and transcends my socially constructed version of beautiful art.

"His record over the past decade, given the talent at his disposal, is remarkable. And he is an old school players’ coach. He refers to them as ‘my sons’. Even Kane Cornes, who is constitutionally required to find fault with everyone and everything, speaks of his former coach with great fondness." I liked this quote from The Guardians Jonathon Horn... I'm not sure when Ken will get the chop... but surely Ken has got the chop?

Are we now 3 games AND % ahead of the teams out of the 8? After 5 [censored] rounds? Have I died and gone to some alternate version of sporting heaven?

He does it a bit... surprised he hasn't had a quiet word said to him be it internally or from AFLcorp(tm)

Oh...I just presumed because of the avatar etc etc...

How do you know this?

People make their choices given what's in front of them at the time. He was just a Dom Sheed pearler away from having one hanging around his neck. I have no animosity towards Jeremy, even with what appeared to be a slight on the club in some of his commentary over the years. Good on him for getting the double century. It's quite the career... and is just one chapter of who he is.

It's been telegraphed for a while... who will be jostling for the chalice?

I'm half a pint through a fairly strong beer... and rate my post, so much, I thought I'd post it here. Happy to debate... As per language used now when observing other matches, and how it informs our lens of how we see Goodwin and Co's philosophy. Re: 'Goalfests'... (any team that allows any other team to score over hmmmm 80?) Isn't there a massive shift in the supporters understanding and THUS the language used by us, because we now have a lens of what 'works' to win football matches consistently. It's also not just our - defense (back 6), running parallel to the strength of our 'defence' is still the system - which I still count as a a Goodwin version of gengenpressing. #goodwinpressing ps... does anyone have any data on how many left foot kicks Gus does per match vs right? pps... do you say data or data?

Love it @Lucifers Hero Not a pot at you at all...and isn't there a massive shift in the supporters understanding and THUS the language used by us, because we now have a lens of what 'works' to win football matches consistently.

*Apols... that was my point 😇

How is this relevant to the 'season proper'?

Mostly I love the duck metaphor. But also the pie one. Mmmmm duck pie.

although our forward line has been stagnant, I have been happy with how Sam W has presented and taken marks in the centre of the ground... no different to a BBB role, it's the way it goes sometimes... perhaps a bit of late scoreboard cosmetics for him.
-
is that the same as, their strategies to nullify our strengths is going well?
-
Clearly this a ploy from Goodwin... "Lads, you think a 3-5 goal win is pressure, week in, week out ??" "[censored] it, let's test you, let's only get 1 goal up for an entire match and the play the last 5 min, like it's the grand final". Goodwin is genius.

He sure does, doesn't he? (said in Bruce McAvaney tones)
