Oh yup. Evans face got smashed up from a glancing blow, if May did what Newcomb did to him he might not have played again this year!

That’s the beauty of ’should’, ‘could’ and ‘reasonable player’, you can almost arrive at any outcome you want. You and I could have vastly different interpretations of all 3 of those metrics.

3 weeks to Newcomb. Way worse than May.

Reactionary isn’t the opposite of proactive. Reactive is. Reactionary means a person that is opposed to social and/or political progression. Sorry, I’ve heard people start to use reactionary in this way and it hurts my brain, not trying to be a pedant.

😳 What did Mark Bickley say exactly?

Perfectly fine. It’s a ball game and Goodwin is a millionaire.

Interesting that Gazza mentioned the club had a confused identity of the team. Is it team first or individual first essentially. Don’t know many successful teams that aren’t steadfast in being team first.

Thank you Simon for the flag and all the best for your future!

I was working whilst listening to the presser so only half paying attention, what did Green say that was so amateurish? Genuinely asking too, not saying it was/wasn’t.

Just heard Goodwin is free!?

Struth! Thanks for the flag Simon, you gave me something I never thought I’d see!

I did the humane thing and viciously berated here Got real personal about it.

There’s probably very good reasons and I just don’t understand, but what if we got rid of all the recruitment zones, father-sons, academies and just have a ‘free market’ essentially? Would that not be an equalisation in terms of availability for all clubs? Won’t fix everything obviously but I don’t get why we segregate players. (I understand they want the Sydney clubs to have an advantage etc.)

My 7 y.o. niece has jumped ship to the Hawks end of last year 🤷‍♀️

We can absolutely! Pressure is almost solely an attitude thing and in the words of the great Shane Warne ‘effort is free’. Hard to maintain if you don’t kick straight though, it’s a motivation killer. And I honestly don’t care if we lose trying to take chances with riskier kicks through the middle. We know that conservative down the line kicking is a hiding to nowhere so I don’t want to see it continually.

The next 3 games are against teams trying to stay or get into the 8 and/or top 4 (pies could still miss finals incredibly), so the pressure is firmly on the oppo and we get a chance to just let loose and play footy. Would like to see us pressure the living schnitzel out of each team for 4 qtrs and bloody make ‘em earn their spot in finals. And not kick it down the line over and over again like we did in that first half against the Eagles. Angles! Look in board!

Yes, also teams that are also not guaranteed a top 8 spot, haha (Siraj coming into his own this innings, looks dangerous)

3 rounds to go and mathematically no club is guaranteed a top 8 spot. Can’t remember the last season this was the case? Suns/Dons game in between finals is gonna be huge.

Pretty impressive pressure from Carlton and Hewitt is absolutely smoking Freo. Centre clearances is 11 to 1 to Carlton

Carlton could have an upset here, they are smashing Freo around the ball

Great quarter of footy, feels like a final

Doorstop as in show up to his house? Or stop him in a doorway? What did she ask him?

‘You know boys, the best players I ever saw, did it on the field. Just remember that.’

Yeah that’s fair, I don’t even know why it would be brought up as a problem though, haha. I should’ve asked @binman anyways I guess. Why is the runner being a welfare officer a conflict of interest? Again, not saying it’s right/wrong, I don’t get why it would be controversial in the first place?
