I thought there was nothing in it at the time. But Christiansen is a goose and he’ll find a way to rub him out for 2 weeks.

I think it says more around our game style and overall skill level. Weid is good 1:1 with space. He is not good in contested marking. If you recognise that and play to his strengths then he’ll generally perform better than he did for us. He just couldn’t do what we were asking if him.

Cripps is a great inside contested player but unfortunately the modern game just doesn’t suit his style as much as it used to.

Nope, they play a couple of games like this a year and then slide downhill. I like the no stress games like last week despite how boring they are.

Hmmm this sounds like Loading mkII - I’m not biting so easily this time. Logic is sound , but MFCSS defies logic so yeah.

When of all people, Ben King, ankled May in the last quarter , I think it showed everyone in the AFL he is still carrying some type of calf injury. I’m worried that he is on a very steep downhill slope past his best.

Last year a lot called for petty to be pushed up forward. It took a whole season and now Goody doesn’t want to budge. Turner doesn’t look anywhere near it. Perhaps not the right matchup but he lost to a D class KPF. Our stoppage structure is just 1 dimensional we can’t seem to stop an opposition clean exit for weeks now. Rebound teams will murder us when our forwards can’t hold territory, it just keeps coming out too easy. It’s still early season but nothing about us is convincing atm. We haven’t really beaten anyone and have nearly lost to Tigers and now Suns. And we have a few easy kills coming up so we are not going to know for a while yet.

Didn’t deserve that. GC are not walk overs up there.

Me too. They are all intolerable.

Game fundamentals all in fav of GC. We are just hanging on.

Thanks umpire. Absolutely nothing in that.

That is very worrying. GC just hungrier and they’ll continue to work hard given they have a sniff. Really need to lift.

Geee we look really off.

Turner having a shocker.

Average performance so far. Should be 6 goals up with this lot. Getting a lesson in the clearance game atm.

Carlton just need speed in the game. Playing to safe and Lions eating em up.

I think Greens got a couple of gun kids at about 14-15 years old that he was coaching down at my sons club. Don’t know much more about the other players but I reckon we’d have first dibs opposed to a new club.

Thanks Andy. I loved this interview and really have only jumped on the podcasts this year despite being a DL contributor for many years.

Non footy Qn. Who has the best looking golf swing in the club AND is what is the best course h has played on in Victoria aside from his own course (obviously).

Couldn’t find the best place to plant this but given this is the main thread in the lead up to game day though I’d share. Hoiney (spelling?) from CD tonight on SEN mentioned our #1 PF scoring is a bit misleading on the quality of our footy. Good kicking is good footy I know, but I think the message is that we aren’t flying as the top 2 position might represent and that we come back a little on the ladder if we were afl avg in set shot accuracy. Similarly the Pies are abysmal in the turnover scoring game. They didn’t really talk about our downside atm but given there was nothing glaring is a good sign that we are just not in the best form - which you don’t want to be I. April / May.

Agreed - that is part of his development

He didn’t IMV, Buddy was just soft and flopped.

+1

Max also has an infamous off right walk on set shots that almost always results in a hook. Walking square to goal with a. Decent ball drop is going to land you in good outcomes most of the time.

That was a strange - video listening to a recount of an injury. I get the focus was mindset but still it was strange to talk about that specific moment and not something else that the average joe can relate to.
