    Christopher Skase put me off returning to Qld forever. Never been back.

    Should never have tried again with an AFL club on the Gold Coast. People go there to play golf,eat seafood and die. 

    With that lifestyle, they probably live forever

    Melksham played as the 3rd tall forward and when we moved the ball he looked as likely as any of our key forwards. BBB struggles to stay upright in the dry, I’m completely fine with that change. Not sure why you’re comparing him with noted key forward 180cm Bill Laurie.

    I wasn’t impressed with Tommy Mc and he’s just about impossible to pick again any time soon, but if Schache’s the answer we’re probably just as stuffed. His VFL form has been good not great and he’s still iffy at the contest. How long has been on an AFL list without getting a regular gig?

    Totally agree on Disco, but the plan looked fairly simple. Use Tomlinson on the resting rucks. He towelled up Lobb, surely he won’t struggle too much with Phillips and Draper? That allows May to play full back and Petty to play as the interceptor. 

    Disco also had 1 game back from a 3+ week lay off, it’s not unreasonable for him to play a second VFL game. For his own sake as much as the teams. His second ever AFL game going in underdone? That’s not a recipe for success. 

    Stop being so sensible

    Bad day but flags are not won in April. Everything went wrong for one team and everything just fell in place for the other.

    I agree with this, we won 10 in a row last year, with flaws being shown up in the second half of the season. This game has exposed our weaknesses, leaving plenty of time to fix.

    glass half full….

    Stop blaming the backline, if the damm pill is coming in with ease the flood gates will open, no forward line, midfield just not pushing hard enough, stop with hand balling to someone running on the inside when there is no one to go in the next passage of play.  As for the Spargo, umpire was correct, he is know for ducking the head, stop with Kossie in the middle get him just in the forward line.

    Agree, shame on spargo

    I had to wade through dross to the equivalent of about 25 DL pages to extract this weeks contributions.  Any idea what that is like 🤮 given they are my most hated team!

    The things I do for my fellow DL's😉

    It’s a thread I look forward to every week, Luci, you’re a champion for providing this community service ❤️💙❤️

    Someone called into ABC radio anonymously a few years ago and said the goal reviewer was any low paid employee of the AFL that was rostered for that game.  No expertise, qualifications etc.  The caller knew because there mate did it over the weekend and apparently just kind of winged it. Wouldn't surprise me if it was and still is like this.

     

    I remember that call

    Realistically once Gawn went down the entire preseason structures and game plans went out the window.

    The psychological impact on ALL players was understandable and realistically a major impact that NO team could overcome.

    I agree.  After hearing Nathan buckley’s comments about the exceptional talent and leadership of Gawn, it’s no wonder the team struggled.

    good luck maxie

  8. Glad I made the trip out, great atmosphere, weather good (not for the players…),  and even though the decent beer had sold out, and we parked 15 kms away, it was a very satisfying afternoon.

    apart from the usual suspects, bowey , sparrow, chandler, nibbler, spargo and particularly Rivers, all impressed. 
    Thanks doggies for lachie hunter! Did some very clever things, just hope he can stay on the straight and narrow
