Oh Jesus, Cats can win the whole bloody thing

Pffft. It’s only 8 more than me.

Ooooft, I dunno, in my mind prime danger was streaming out of the middle and hitting leading forwards on the chest. He is definitely a player I would say over the last ten years can win games off his efforts. But that’s just me

I mean he’s probably 2-3 years passed his prime?

Fine. A very close second 😜

Foot skills making the difference so far

Port crowd quiet

I wonder if Frosty was coming into the system now, if he would have been modelled on a Blicsavs type utility. Great speed for his size yet was only really ever used predominantly as a backman. His problem was always, the gap between his best and worst was too big. Haven’t watched many hawks games so not sure if that’s still the case.

Ohhhh that’s a good point, didn’t even think of that. I think I base my decision on fan bases and how much I don’t want to hear from their annoying fans for the next year. But fair, Zorko is many words that will get redacted on Demonland

Oops, I messed up that title thread. Please help Demonland mods

Pretty self explanatory. Get in the bin Carlton.

But do they have a big big sound?

Geelong out to $3. Hmmmmm. Will Port choke?

Both coaches also play, they aren’t allowed to touch either of the balls but they can tag an opposition player and that player then has to run to the bench and ring a bell before they can continue playing, haha

I’m in. Have two footies on the ground (a red one is worth normal scores, a golden ball is worth double scores). A bull gets entered onto the field 10 minutes into each quarter, at every centre bounce all the midfielders and rucks are blind folded and no player can enter the centre square until the midfield gets it out. Oh and obviously every time the golden ball scores a double goal, the teams switch ends. It’s time.

Ahh ok gotcha. Thanks for clarifying

Just for clarification, by political agenda do you mean the party involved in the upcoming court case? Or someone else/others?

Interesting! There’s also another phenomenon which occurs to some people who have ‘mastered’ their skill: they tend to undervalue their own competence. They can pass up jobs, not go for promotions, because they see themselves a deficient even though they would be perfectly capable of doing a job. Thus, less skilled, but more overly confident people rise up.

I was curious as to what Jones’s said in full in that SEN interview so here it is: Timmeh Watson: ‘Would you, being a past player, and having an acute understanding of the way the club works, and you obviously weee teammates with a lot of these guys in the time you played, would favour the club having an external review of its culture?’ Jones: ‘ahhh yeah I reckon I would Tim, to be honest. I think umm, I felt frustrated particularaly for the senior players over the last 12-18 months from a PR and narrative point of view. It’s been frustrating and some may let those senior boys down to a certain degree, so I think that would be worthwhile if there’s nothing to hide I think it would be beneficial. I think particularly from a public perspective, that the advantages in doing that, but ultimately mate that will be a decision that comes from people far higher and much more important than me. It’s nice to have see Tracc come out and commit and hopefully even off the back of this, whatever side of the fence you live on, hopefully it will instigate some change and Melbourne can kind of, re-direct and start flying straight again and hopefully be back in contention for next season.’

If we were [censored] off the story would be ‘dees mistreat Premiership hero and call his newborn baby slurs’ haha

Ah yes, it wasn’t Melbourne already stating they would let Nibbler return to Adelaide (hence the banner), it was the thank you banner that now gives other clubs the upper hand. Do I have that right?

Nothing football related, but that seems like an incomplete description of the DK effect?

We've definitely had successes for sure! I guess though, clubs can have 'binfire' worthy issues but still be very successful. Probably the best example is, West Coast's issues by all accounts had been known since 2000, they almost won 2 flags in a row 5-6 years later when half the team were off their face and one even flatlined and was brought back in Las Vegas on a trip. Absolute Binfire worthy club, but super successful. (This part isn't aimed at you DEE fence, but to any frothing at the mouth posters - No I'm not saying our issues and west coasts issues are analogous)

Yep.

That makes a lot of sense! Sounds like an interesting read. Someone on here posted something a few years back and it really stuck with me. From memory, a person was having a conversation with a player from a rival club in the 90’s about the Dees. And that player said something like, ‘Melbourne players for some reason are quite arrogant even though the club hasn’t really done anything for decades‘. Kinda gave me the impression that for some players, just playing AFL was the end goal. Which to what you’re saying, probably comes from somewhere? Sorry if it’s not totally connected, just popped into my mind from your post.
