Grr-owl

When we’re three goals up with two minutes to go in the granny, I’ll believe we’re favourites. Til then, lotta things to overcome, especially nerves in big finals.

Dunno, mate. The club seems to have developed the hell out of a number of other players in that time.....

Best win of the season. We don’t run, we lose. We run, we win.

We look tents in and slow and lacklustre. Not good.

And remember, if we don't get them in, other teams will. Would Treloar have improved us? Yes. Instead he improved the Dogs. If Merrett goes, he's going to improve another contender, otherwise he'll stay at the Bummers stuck on the mid-table merry-go-round. We need to be constantly vigilant and proactive. Oooooh, it's exhausting at the top......

Bit like 2019: without tanking we wouldn't have Dogga, Koz or Riv.

Only concern for me is we had 15 scoring shots in the first half and only 7 in the second even though we were well on top.

Awesome win. Everything I feared didn’t happen. Hard at it all night. Pressure and running. Hot!

Throw everything at Zac Merrett.

Double that. Make the pay equivalent to an elite sportsman (in Aus). You'd catch many of those players who aren't quite big enough to make it at AFL, but understand the game. VFL types and fitness fanatics would line up.

I reckon pay them a boatload. Make it attractive for all those fitness buffs out there. Then we would have the right to hold them accountable.

Just quoting Kate Roffey on the subject, as discussed this week on the Deeluded podcast. There is a thread here about it. I suggest we all have a listen.

Cheers for the interesting interview, Kiran and Nita. Was struck by the lack of specifics in the answers, but I suppose that's the way it has to be. Can't be letting us into the nitty-gritty. But in one case I thought the lack of detail was revealing. I drew the conclusion that we are nowhere when it comes to finding a home base....

There's a podcast app these days...

Might be a bit obvious. I think Demon supporters hope that the changeover was bloodless, but are certain it was significant. Can Kate assure us that it is not a sign of instability?

Yeah, this.

Well done, Weid!

Absurd umpiring.

Or a baggie.

And the following week in Adelaide, Weid'll stone the Crows.

Goody looked unconvinced in the presser. I'd say Sam is gonna need to perform very well, very consistently to keep a spot in the team this season other than be necessity through injury...

The parallels with my own life are a tad disturbing..... We must have elbowed each other aside at the bar at least once.

Storm CEO says Men's are staying put at AAMI: https://player.whooshkaa.com/episode?id=826255

So that's how you spell it...

Cheers. Agree totally. Follow the Taiwan model. Though, having said that, cases are rising there, too, with air crew bringing it in from SEAsia...
