Fanatique Demon

I wouldn’t go that far. He did ok, but looked a bit underdone to me.

I join you on that, @Jontee

Um, do you think they are the only other top team? I said, top teams. Freo seems to have been doing ok. And as I recall, we are the only one to have lost three in a row.

Fatigue from loading keeps coming up. If we were the only loading team, that would make sense. But surely other top teams are loading too. They must be handling it better than we are.

Yes, I support Tomlinson as sub. Their three tall forwards (Daniher, McStay and Hipwood) could be a problem. And if one of our talls goes down, we’ll need Tomlinson for backup.

He’d been pretty much KO’d by Cowboy Neale. In today’s environment he’d have been off the ground with concussion.

Your sarcastic reply, cute at the time, unfortunately is proving to be true.

Didn’t say “every”. But that’s a nice glass-half-full view. With time and dedication he could turn into a one-grab marker. Mind you, he’s had the time already.

Beg to differ. His marking method is the double grab, which makes it easier for opponents to spoil.

I‘ve heard that you may be a lover, but you ain’t no dancer.

I’m with you, Jane02. (Some love for Jackson here. Great talent, but not today. Still double-grabbing, missed an easy goal, outmanoeuvred by Mihocek, etc)

I know pretty much nothing about this loading stuff. But if loading has cost us three wins, then the whole theory/strategy must be called into question.

I’m seriously worried about this game. We’ll either “murder the filth” or let ourselves down… again.

Our fullback line of Salem, Petty, Bowey looks a lot like our Premiership halfback line.

You mean the ones that have failed to arrive at my house for the last three years?

Yep, agree.

Didn’t get the email.

They might take Tomlinson off now.

Goodness, what’s going on here, Dazzle? I sincerely hope you’re not Aaron Davey. He was one of my favourite players.

You’re absolutely right. Apparently anything I don’t agree with or question is a case of it going over my head. 😀

Nice response, but I think you may have missed my point DD36.

Is that the same Mark Jamar who was an All-Australian ruckman?

I don’t mind the loss, but I can’t stand the capitulation.

I agree. These were the best of a bad bunch.

I’m still not convinced on Bedford. But I hope he’s given every opportunity to show his capabilities.
