Stiff Arm

Are you her???

Yeah, but Brisbane don't do it week after week for 3 years like us

No chance for us then...

I'm just hoping we kick 7g 58b and beat Collingwood by 5 pts I can handle poor goal kicking is we win on Monday

AFL is played in Canberra while it's snowing. It's an outdoor sport fcs! How on earth have they played league footy and produced so many champions over the years without a roofed stadium?!!!

Future not looking positive for Devils Stadium not wanted by 60% of Tasmanians Cost blow out to $1.5b or more Higher stadium demands than other AFL stadiums (roof, waterside location, timing) Stadium location debatable Unlikely to play cricket there due to roof shadows, so only AFL and 'events' Pointy end draft concessions other clubs despise Further player and sponsorship pool diluting Small population will mean small attendances and revenue No underwrighting guarantees from AFL, unlike GWS Doesn't add to tv rights significantly Despite this, and in true Australian political style, the premier signed off on contract demands that were always going to be impossible to meet If by some chance the team does get off the ground in 2028 or whenever it is proposed to enter the competition, my bet is they will struggle on and off the field and will fold within 5-10 years. They're always going to be behind the 8 ball

I've heard from a number of people that it's widely acknowledged Choco has a shelf life of 2-3 years as an assistant before he gets too comfortable and his ability to inspire and develop players wanes. Ess 4 years , GWS 2 and Richmond 3. This will now be his 6th season with us. He's the head of development and responsible for kicking skills Not sure he's the right man anymore

I tend to agree, based upon the rumored cost and short timeline. Small population/economy, with considerable disadvantage outside of Hobart. The money the Tas State government has committed would do a lot for education, healthcare and employment generally. Would it be a different story if the Fed govt put in the majority of the funds? Maybe. I find it hard to believe a 25,000 seat stadium would cost around $1.5b which is what it will be (if not more) when the first ball is bounced. The roof is unnecessary. I've watched the Dees in Canberra mid winter when it was 6 deg all afternoon and sleet came in at 45deg. Fcs, the Hawks game there had snow! If there's no need for a roof there, the AFL should ease up on it for Tassie. AFL requirements making it near impossible for this to happen

How is it that the ball drop of Gawn and Trac have not been corrected? We've been banging on about it on here for years. It's like they are trying trick shots at goal for s**** and giggles. Look at Trac's 25m checkside from a slight angle, or Pickett's rushed left foot around the body Is chocco our kicking coach? Hope he's paid on a % of goals to behinds basis

Congratulations Ross Lyon. Completely outcoached Goodwin today

This is gonna hurt, big time Maybe we can kick 25 behinds against the pies

Our i50 conversion and kicking for goals has been terrible for several years. Not a myth. It's a given that we will pepper the goals and score far more behinds than goals. Inside 50s are a shambles. Remember the two finals vs Coll and Carlton? It's taken a game like this to highlight that IMO it is our main weakness. It's literally the difference between winning and losing. Kick straighter and we win far more often (derrr!) Let's start by replacing Chocco. He has a shelf life at most clubs of 2-3 years, and this will be his 6th year with us. He's too comfortable. Second, no more cross body kicks for goal. Perhaps Milkshake is the exception. Third, Max either aims for the right side behind space or he gives it off. Fourth, stop congesting the f50. High half forwards: gtfo out of there! Fifth, 1 long bomb to every 2 attempted hit up or chaos ball Sixth.... I lost my train of thought... Rant over 😵‍💫

Only another 20 behinds, come on guys!

Soft effort Laurie

Saints will have a big quarter. This'll blow out

Pleasing to see our sub is just as bad as kick as the rest of the team

And that's how you kick a goal. Lots of learnings, learnings, learnings

Memo AFL: Please check the betting accounts,of all Melbourne players after today

Desperately need to convert better. Same old

Jones giving Claz a bath
