No it doesn’t. It doesn’t explain why the Club didn’t identify his true talent and nurture it, instead of favouring others who had received many more chances and clearly had less up side. Having Bedford now would have substantially improved our Premiership chances.

It’s very easy to hide behind a ‘facepalm’. Was the question too hard for you to answer ?

How do you finish Top 4 if you don’t make a Preliminary Final ?

Why do YOU think “he chose to go” ?

Perhaps our biggest deficiency is the lack of quality small forwards. None are instinctive crumbers, most lack speed and they’re not that good at applying defensive pressure. The exception is Pickett, who is inconsistent and too often wasteful. Toby Bedford would have been a very nice keep.

Ok, but what did he do about addressing them ?

Yes, and he’s done it in fine style. The point is, there’s a huge ‘Elephant in room’ , that is the big MFC blunder in not retaining Toby.

Why did GWS want Toby Bedford ?

In Greyhound parlance, a Non-chaser. Has Lifetime membership in the Down Hill skiers Club.

Trent Rivers, likely to be rated in the Top 5 at MFC by the end of next year. That said, I think Judd McVee, in time, will be a better player.

Agree. Perhaps a better method would be for a Goal Umpire to refer WITHOUT giving a Soft signal. Then, if it was an ‘Umpires Call’,( insufficient evidence ) the Goal Umpire would make his call after the Arc.

Thanks, previous work not so good though ? 🙂

Possible Left field option, at least for part of the game ? Both Gawn AND Grundy on the ground at the same time, Max playing a kick behind the play with Grundy rucking. Max to take the Centre bounces. IMO Gawn has played some of his best football in this role.

Thanks, it was ‘attempted’ sarcasm, at the same time having a little dig at participants in modern Media who are happy to bludgeon grammar and language in general. As far as Politicians go, I propose they are more Artificial Unintelligence.

Who is AL ?

The AFL Circus On one hand a player must be RETIRED for 5 Years to be inducted into their Hall of Fame, On the other hand …… ‘They make it up as they go along’.

Worthy suggestion. Neal - Bullen fans would be most displeased however.

You can try to Spin it what ever way you like, the fact is , if his form was acceptable last week he wouldn’t have been OMITTED this week.

“Grundy OMITTED”. Bitter pill to swallow I would imagine 😆

Quote all the stats you like, Grundy was poor, Gawn was a long way from his best, Pickett was a passenger and MFC were unimpressive winning against a side who lost 3 players to injury early in the game. If We lost in the same circumstances as StKilda, everyone on this Forum would be bemoaning how Unlucky we were. GCDee’s original post was completely reasonable and certainly NOT Dreadful. PS. Do you get “paid by the word” ?

Why was it a “Dreadful post” ?

Apologises for being slightly of topic but I need help, ‘Social Media Speak’ has finally got the better of me ! What the hell does “I really for him” mean ? Was it written by an imbecile, a typo perhaps, deliberate social media clickbait or just yet another example of the destruction of our vocabulary due to the Internet ? If I am in fact the [censored] here, I await the response from the usual crowd, no names mentioned.

Genesis 1:1 The beginning of the End of Mr Goodwin, perhaps.

So you’ve finally changed your tune on ANB 🤣

“finished 2nd in 2022” ? Stretching the truth to suit your argument ? The vast majority will remember 2022 as going out in straight sets and the year being a great disappointment.
