POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Fremantle
I’ll be brutally honest I don’t like the pretty consistent invoking of binmans name around here when we lose. I see multiple posters doing what you just did or saying something along the lines of ‘gee can’t wait for binman to comment on this’. The guy gives his opinions from what I’ve seen malice free unless provoked, is reasonable in his analysis in that he offers evidence and reasoning to his thoughts (which A LOT of posters on here are incapable of doing) and devotes his time free of charge to doing the podcast. If you disagree that’s fine. But if you or any other poster wants to say something about Binman, say something straight to Binman and don’t do it surreptitiously by just dropping his name. It’s petty and conveys cowardice.

I think if you are being objective that is true on the whole. Their 1 wood ability to ensure first use of the ball is just so great that the lack of skills has been outweighed (Ollie’s hands in close have historically been amazing to be fair). Tracc and Ollie definitely have pace to burst away from packs, but I don’t think we’ve seen that this year as much as previous years. But this year we have seen them lose contested possessions and clearance which is what their strength is. Makes them much less damaging. That’s not to diminish what they can do or have accomplished, but I doubt there’s anyone that thinks of Tracc/Ollie/Viney and thinks sublime foot skills or blistering pace.

37-68 inside 50’s We had the same conversion rate of inside 50’s. About 45%. 38-39 tackles If you get smashed around the ball and take less tackles… where’s the pressure? Pressure is a mindset and willing intensity thing. It’s one thing individual players can control. The thing that has changed from previous years is our mids aren’t only not dominating, they’re getting obliterated. Our game depends on them getting the job done and if they don’t fire, no Dees. Not like we played well anywhere on the ground today. But the midfield dominance has papered over cracks as we rely so heavily on it.

I think we lost today because Venus is in retrograde and we didn’t sacrifice enough animals on the alter of Satan. Or it’s the globalists or something. I think the AFL has also been microchipping Dees players to make them underperform. I also think some players were hugged too much as children. It’s difficult to write a nonsense post on par with some of the things being written in this thread but it’s tougher than I thought.- GAMEDAY: Rd 12 vs Fremantle
- NON-MFC: Round 12
I mean Ugle-Hagan STILL hasn’t kicked a goal for us so I think it’s deserved? (I genuinely can’t tell if this is a joke or serious comment)- NON-MFC: Round 12
I swear when Lobb was playing for GWS he was a serious (almost gun) ruckman/forward. I’d watch GWS play and he would be pretty consistently prominent. Was that incorrect? Or has he dropped off massively since going to Freo then Dogs?- NON-MFC: Round 12
Garcia for the dogs looks promising. Been noticing him for a few weeks now. He’s able to affect games.- NON-MFC: Round 12
Geez Darcy is a player. He looks more composed that JUH and more consistent already.- NON-MFC: Round 12
Doggies!!!!!!!- NON-MFC: Round 12
The Bont is such a good forward. What a player- NON-MFC: Round 12
C’mon dogs!!!!!!!- NON-MFC: Round 12
I clearly don’t have the presents of mind to spell correctly tonight.- NON-MFC: Round 12
Harder than both Daicos brothers. If he gets to their level of impact on games I’ll be wrapped.- NON-MFC: Round 12
They’re both absolute guns and who cares how ‘hard’ outside running goal kicking freaks are?- NON-MFC: Round 12
Sam Darcy at 20 is better than Rory Lobb at any age.- NON-MFC: Round 12
Hate to say it but it’s true, their gameplay takes care of itself. They don’t look like they suffer very much no matter what the injury.- NON-MFC: Round 12
Probably beating a dead horse but it’s amazing how the premier mainstream broadcast can have 3 commentators that suck energy out of a game. No charisma, no insightful takes (I reckon Richo was much better early on and he’s fallen to BT and Brayshaws level) and from a very basic broadcast perspective they speak in monotone!!! It’s incredible to me that there isn’t someone in production telling them to EMOTE MORE WITH YOUR VOICE. They are a constant distraction from the game from how ducking boring they are- NON-MFC: Round 12
Osava Ratugolea doesn’t look like he’ll survive as a defender. It doesn’t look like his natural position at all and he looks panicky… any chance we could turn him into a 1-2 goal a game big forward that chops out in the ruck?? He isn’t going to keep his spot the way he’s playing and in Ports forward line there is clearly no room for him.- NON-MFC: Round 12
I would not be surprised if Ross Lyon is in this camp in a couple years time. - POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Fremantle
