Roost it far

Not only will you fix it Buster but you’ll send through an appropriate report.

Because

This is what a report looks like when a poster has sympathy for injured players and of course has great love for Clayton.

Totally agree, he’s just to tentative as a back man. You can see his brain turning over. I’d love to see him given some time forward and perhaps even fly Turner back.

Looking forward to your full report.

He’s a bit of a tool

I fear it’s a chip n run kind of club.

Absolutely, with a professional program helping him there’s quite some improvement likely. His one wood is his fierce competitive streak. Can someone tell me what Jefferson’s one wood is?

He best bust out of the box he’s in soon.

Cheap shot. Laura Kane is no worse than any other AFL manager as far as I can see. The problem with the AFL is it can largely bumble its way from issue to issue as the game has its own irresistible force. I could manage the game and it would still grow while I play golf and wait for reports done by others.

No she’s likely there because she can manage his interests better than the next person. DEI has nothing to do with it.

and how has this anything to do with it?

I think someone makes way for Johnson but I don’t know who.

I’d say he’s gone to an agent that maximises his out of football earnings. Of course Ralphy and his minions will see that as him wanting to leave.

I’ll be expecting a rolling report from 1.35

Possibly although I just can't see how we match them for run on the wide open spaces of the G. I think we'll be forced to bottle it up somewhat and that'll likely be in our forward half as I think our mids will get on top thanks to Gawn. If it does get too crowded I guess we can bring our defenders back and try and force a turnover at HB. It's going to be an intriguing watch. We just have to kick some early goals and not end up 1.8 like we did against Freo. I will add that I think even with Briggs I see our mids getting on top. I sense Gawn, Petracca, Oliver and Viney, along with may, Lever, Langdon and Salem have a real point to prove this year. For some it's possibly the last roll and I reckon there's a resolve about our senior players. I think they know that it doesn't just happen and the teams fortunes largely rest with them.

Seeing PJ Harvey tonight so that should help with going into Demonland abstinence. It's going to be a tough few hours for everyone.

The AFL won't find anything bar a few if's and maybe's. Geelong are way too smart and if remains way to easy for outside club interests to provide jobs, cars etc for family members of players. Every club would do it. You don't think the Hawks coterie has said get Allan at any cost?

5-14….wash your mouth out son

Pull your head in junior. I’ll damn well report when I can, not before. You got it?

That sounds awesome

Not going to happen sadly. Flat out atm.

Aaron Davey was no slouch

Whether we tweaked the plan or not we simply can't go with the sides that run and spread better than we can. We have to force a forward half territory game and hope we can find targets inside 50 who can kick goals. The other method is to just run and spread and hope the kicks and handballs find their mark. When they don't we have to have numbers to force a contest and run back to defend. It's just not how we play though. Expected score 11.22.88 10.6.66

The game may well be built around running it out of the backline. However when you have a very strong midfield as we do and Gawn has no serious opponent against a team that can likely out run us I'd play lock it up football in the front half.
