@Clintosaurus - thoughts on the drivers of the outcome of this match?

Nice goal there from J.Somerville 😂

Ooof - both teams look trash from a Premiership perspective. Now whether that’s because they actually are, or the pressure between the two teams…neither should hold fear for the Dees from watching this low standard skills match.

Great work @Wunders and also kudos on giving context as to why you know what you know. More sports science if you know stuff, less vague punditry on here please 😘

Why would it matter either way? Are you worried that the team would get ahead of themselves. I genuinely cannot imagine the team scrolling through their phones, imbibing all positive and negative reviews, and then referencing themselves against those reviews, either getting ahead of themselves or conversely not believing in themselves. As Goodwin once spoke about - it's all Fugazi.

A good article this week on how Jake Lever demonstrably fits in and guides our game plan

I may have missed it if someone has already posted - but here is a great read Jackson = Unicorn

Well done, a nice concise site. Perhaps linking in Mongrel Punt and Stats Insiders stuff on The Dees would be good as well.

Agree on both points 100% - thus it's not risky.

How so?

Well, lock down is hard, but I need to remember it’s not Afghanistan hard, or being indigenous hard, or being a Collingwood supporter hard 😂

Apologies- yes I did… one of those nights

Yeah… I’m hoping those players hold on to the pain like some vitriolic supporters - as though that’s a driving mechanism

Did we not do it 2 weeks ago - 🙄

I hear that it’s meaningful for you @tiers - I’m not sure many others are so vigilant about language as you are. Language evolves - 100 years ago - ‘ladder’ didn’t mean what you currently interpret it to mean and hold dear to your heart. 😘

FMD - two people have it - just spill the gawd.damn.beans :p

That is so ruthless... I love it.

Holy Moly - there were jungle drums beating about this perhaps 2 years ago... Happy to be guided by anyone else as to what he would offer, or assist with that we don't currently have.

Are you referencing your optics there @Chook or particular stats?

So ordinary, you had to say it twice!

I personally feel Port will get up - Dogs defence has been susceptible all year...

As nice as it is to win the match against Geelong - I'm hoping we manage/rest as many players as possible. If not for the benefit of the team, but mostly for the reduction in concern on this forum, and the inevitable extrapolation about what a loss means.

shut down role on the wing - its been explained many times... is he perfect? - 👎

And he'd jhave locked the 3 (or 2 due to Seedsman) brownlow votes today...

Permanent anxiety now that I have expectations of 'my' team. 🤣
