Roost it far

Has our fitness dropped? We’ve actually run out games well the last 6 weeks, we’ve largely got a full list bar 2 impact injuries. I don’t think it’s our fitness holding us back. That’s not to say I wouldn’t take Burgess back.

It’s our biggest test, our form is pretty good barring last week. I get the feeling we won’t be leaving anything out there.

They may or may not look much but they’re elite by every metric.

Give me the updates. You keep me in the loop I’ll put you in charge of the reporters

You’re not the first to suggest he gets a go forward.

We beat the Pies, Viney ready to go post bye, JVR returning to form, no new injuries and then Koz says he’s going nowhere and signs on for 7 years for $9million.

Limit the Daicos’s, check Pendles and Sidepart and we’re away. I’m quietly confident that we’ll win this week.

I’ll put up the 2nd partner I just won!

We’ll win this. We’re coming nicely into our sweet spot. Pity about Viney but we can cover. I’d love to see Culley get a game and think his big body would be useful. I’ve little doubt we’ve set ourselves for this week. Expecting a solid crowd and a rapturous 6-8 renditions of our favourite song.

Out: AJ, Laurie In: JVR, Culley Sharp has to be sub

I’ll tell you what’s poor spending, a $1.4 billion stadium in Tasmania that you can’t play cricket at. I just found this out and honestly thought it must be a joke. It’s a lot of money for a handful of AFL games in front of say 15,000 and some concerts.

Not going to happen but the kid is certainly showing some talent.

Correct me if I’m wrong but this is the AFL pushing a stadium down the throats of a State that can’t afford it. Pretty sure the overwhelming bulk of Tasmanian’s want the team but only a minority want the stadium. Thing is Dillon is committed and considering what a mess he’s making of his leadership he really needs a victory here. The stadium and surrounding improvements including transport won’t cost less than $1.4 billion, that’s a lot of teachers and nurses.

I’m the Boss, we all know that.

I’m here for you Harv.

Why no cricket?

I’m not sure who the hell you think you are but the reporters I use are highly trained professionals. It’s not like I get them from some 2 bit football forum like Big Footy. If you want to cast dispersions then come through me otherwise button it cowboy.

Much appreciated

All I see is a lot of bickering between my reporters. Pull yourselves together for christs sake. Also I need one or more of you to get me reports from Casey. Clearly you don’t work much, hell you could drive each other down there. I’d suggest you ignore the locked gates.

Reckon we win by 21

A fractured hand will be fine after the bye.

I know it’s simplistic but why don’t they set markers at 25,35 and 45m then 3 cones at different angles at each distance. Then 3 on the run from each angle, one at each distance. No one leaves training till everyone has kicked at least 10 goals per round. This is the end of every training session. Film each player and then show them the vision. Teach, repetition, teach, repetition. We have to get better at this and practice is the only way.

I think the argument can be had that loading through the Collingwood game would have been the smarter move. Win the Saints game, sacrifice the Pies match as it's a much harder one to win, take the bye and be cherry ripe post bye. The thing going against this scenario is we absolutely do not want to get smashed on any given KB. This is what I think is playing out and at the end of the day we were some straight kicks away from beating the Saints so it wasn't a terrible gamble. Now let's see how we go this week.

That's good to know, I guess when we're losing it always feels like our suppoorters are outnumbered, on average what would you say the % of the support is for us?
