Superunknown

I had a shocking temper as a junior Same for tennis High expectations I remember sending a PW into the dam on the 8th at Gisborne on at Sat comp Came back later with fins and goggles, rope and my brother to fish it out

Man. This game. We’re miles and miles off

Me too, and pendles Legends What’s your dad playing off at 60? I remember playing woodlands with my grandfather - would have been 75- one day where he was a member I was off 7 and shot 74 and came in to 6. Had heaps of stableford points . Thought I’d win gross and net. He was off 35 and beat me by 1 on net. I holed out from a bunker on the full for par on a par 3, almost had a HIO (inch), won a nearest the pin. Both won a stack of balls. I still have a new Titleist balata I won that day. He Dined off that forever . [censored] that is a fond memory for me. Golf. Horribly beautiful game.

In the short term it’s a voting machine and in the long term a weighing machine I’m reticent to invest membership until it’s clear to me the leadership and strategy has changed People get all emotional and say buy your membership no matter what I say Nup bugger that

Same Leave emotion out of it and treat it as a business Business kpi is winning the GF. At the G. With all of us losing our collective minds

So close, wodderwick Enrolments at my alliteration course open soon 🤌🤜👀🤺

Gosh that’s dire Fatalistic, nihilistic, can’t decide

Bloody oath it would

You don’t think fullarton deserves a run? Not rewarding form? I don’t think a response saying “the vfl isn’t the afl “ is relevant - it’s literally all we have to build form. I tend to think not being a bit more hard nosed sends the opposite message It also will cause those perennially not rewarded for form to bugger off

Splitting the first fairway and offshore waves!! Also no wind on the Ventoux!!

Our selection integrity has been an issue for a while I’d love to be a fly on the wall Love to hear some back story to the fullarton family fall out last year which someone mentioned

Agree I think the comparisons with other Melbourne coaches re consistency are irrelevant. What matters is what he is doing with this list and how we’re playing Personally I think it in the club’s interests he go soon Nekminute: Mfc wins every game including 3 finals including the GF

Much of this read as being mental. Betwixt the ears.

All good points For you , what is the point where you think enough is enough? Let’s get specific 0-12? X-Y at the bye End Of season no matter what? Even if 2-21? 4-19? 7-16?

Agree with most of that On the mechanical repetition - I wonder if that’s the case? Realise you reach a point of marginal gains If I could draw a parallel with golf practice - acknowledging of course the sports are very difference particularly physical pressure upon one’s physical personage and split second decision making - there’s a reason one practices repetitively and mechanically key skills. I’m talking approach Anyway like I said I don’t care all that much and I’m not expert Like you (I think) I just want our team to be the best it can be If that’s introducing 30 minutes of doing the Macarena per session let’s do it (Trying to introduce a bit of levity)

Glad we cleared that up! To be clear I don’t really care either way. I’m pragmatic. Whatever gets our team playing - including kicking for goal - betyer

Junior golf long course and very small greens = +++ short game and putting = 2-4 shots lower on metro courses in pennant

I am please that I was so profound you saw fit to quote thrice. We’re not talking about foreigners. We’re talking about elite players mostly who’ve grown up playing our indigenous brand of football. I also didn’t make mention of anyone’s starting point. Obviously these players are elite and good enough to on a list. Others have commented our goal kicking is sub optimal (which I agree with - 2023 finals say hi). I’m not saying they’re not practised, I’m just wondering aloud about the potential benefits of increasing focus even for a short period on a key skill of our game (leaving aside comments about decision making etc) Bit like practising an aspect of a deficient golf game by finding a high leverage point for dramatic change. Until it improves (which for many it never will but that’s a different story because golf is a Truly evil game)

I tend to disagree The different shape of the balls requires different technique, no? Therefore if one’s skills with AFL ball are deficient, ought one practice with that ball? I make no comment on the benefits of practising with a soccer ball for body movement and activating different muscles and movement patterns. It’s why as a golfer/cyclist/runner/surfer I do exercises specific to those sports but also different stuff for balance and general functional movement

Roost it Far is on the money with previous post. 👆🏻 Oliver and Petracca out. Maximise ROI, squeeze Pickett for another year unless someone comes with godfather offer this year (discussion around which year’s picks), new ceo , prez, coach, forward coach, midfield coach.

We are going to need to make some very hard decisions in the interest of the club very soon. That Carlton game was horrible. Horrible. Viney alone didn’t cost us that. Maynard and bad kicking did.

Not care! Paris Roubaix is on, the Masters is on, the northern rivers autumnal weather is magic and very conducive to golf, cycling and surfing, and pub beers! 🤌🤜

Both of them couldn’t get over to Maynard last time we played them for some japing and smiling alongside May Unforgivable

As Pearl Jam sang - this is not for you. Hard pass I want solid citizens and leaders and culturers.

Ta - always appreciated Agree on Gus. Locker room glue We need to be recruiting and fostering leaders like him Testing times ahead
