Roost it far

Hahaha. I’ve finally recovered thanks.

Absolutely. I’m not suggesting anyone getting suspended for blindly punching or felling Maynard. Gus doesn’t get to dictate how we play the game. It was a statement game and we failed. Do you think that’s what Gus wanted? When Langdon gave his all duck no dinner shot 3 or 4 pies tackled him legally to make a statement and they rolled us. Watching Petracca shake his hand made me mad as I knew then we weren’t up for the fight.

It's not upto Gus, this was about the current team doing what had to be done. There's no grey here. we simply had to make a statement and we didn't. John Northey would of been disgusted.

It was embarrassing to watch. The [censored] I took on my footy wattsapp group was all spot on. You don't need to be an aggressive type to know that Maynard needed to be pushed and bumped and put to ground at every opportunity.

I don't buy that reasoning. If the club as a whole told the players to not ruffle up maynard then we have issues. I reckon we'd be the only club going that would let Maynard walk away from that. It bugs me. I'm not talking get suspended but cop a fine. All preseason and season long we've talked the talk, just shut up and walk the walk.

and their second round pick and yes I'd think about it.

My bet he goes to the Pies

When he stuck his hand out to Petracca, he should of been pushed over onto the ground, free kick to him at that point is really unlikely and who cares anyway. Our response to him was pathetic We have an ever so slightly soft underbelly and teams know it.

I say crash and burn this season, make it a spectacle.....lose to North, which is already a distinct possibility, get pick 3 or 4 and the win the Flag in 2025. Losing Brayshaw has really hurt us, losing Petracca has ended us for this year.

Didn't the skipper just the other day question our culture? For mine Monday's game is just so important. I still can't believe whats occurred over the last 3 weeks. Even though I was pretty harsh on us prior to the season I still had us finishing anywhere from 1 - 12. Prior the WC game I was feeling pretty good even after losing to Carlton again. But sheesh WC followed up by Freo?? I have no idea where we stand as a team atm, I'm leaning toward all talk but we still have just enough time to surge. I do believe we load at this time and trust that we've set ourselves for the Pies. To have any 2024 cred we kinda have to win this.

It’s a long way back from here…….a long, long way. Croquet anyone?

We got hell to unleash, unfortunately it unleashed on us.

I have no doubt, I’m just interested keeping an eye on it for games. Is there a website?

Anyone point me to the expected score from Friday but not on twitter X

We didn’t lose the game because of the umpires but the AFL absolutely need to move to a professional model.

I hope there’s someone giving you a lot of hugs.

At least you can go to your meeting!

Life has to suck, so when it’s not sucking it’s extra good.

Don’t remind me. All I want is to jam Collingwood a new one on KB and then again in the finals. Personally I think that’s being very reasonable considering the circumstances. But first let’s just win tonight. Go Demons, unleash hell.

I used the wrong emoji first time up! sad day indeed.

The final against Carlton was a low point. I’ve ranted enough about that so we move to tonight. On first look I think we’re in for a 4 goal win but each time I look the margin gets closer. Cripps is a beast and Walsh is all class. If our mids aren’t on we’re in trouble. FFS kick straight and just win and preferably easily, if that’s even possible anymore.

I made it very clear sometime ago that I and many others require solid training reports by early afternoon. So please stop complaining about us complaining.

My thoughts are that the Blues will tire more than the Demons. You’ve had a gruelling 4 matches and you’ll be doing well not to be a tad physically and emotionally spent. I think that’s the opposite of what many feel is our 5 day break disadvantage.

That’s the worst training thread I’ve ever read but I found it rather enjoyable all the same.
