Love dark mode. Well done to all. And @Nasher - IT FTW - well done.

I do it here for free everyday. Quote me.

This is just pathetic. We have been an irrelevance if anything most of my 40 years on this planet and you people are here thinking these journos just ‘have it in’ for us. We are going to get it when we lose against a team no won has lost to since Trumps first administration, we are going to get it when our coach alludes to the things that can’t be alluded to in our society of stiff upper lips, and we are going to headlong back into indifference unless we can halt the slide next week. Some of may be new here, or too young, or too stupid - there are worse things than being negatively talked about in the media…

I can’t stand the DeeBros. Don’t listen to the Land one much either. I just know too much to make it worth the frustrating listen.

No worries. Always good to be reminded how funny I am.

You’re the one making these so called ‘best 22’s every week since October… They are not the best 22…and certainly not on the weekend… Im beginning to think you have no idea what you are doing #nomorebest22s #WERRIDEEsbest22sIKeepHearingAbout

Oh boy

How about we just let this go? [censored]

It may just mean degenerate gamblers thinking there is value where there probably isn’t.

That should be blurred. This is a family website

Bump, and I hope the re-start of something positive for Charlie and the team.

Kids get dropped. Some of you act like playing VFL is akin to punishment. Langford is going to be a gun but he is vying for minutes in the strongest area of our team. Even Rivers is struggling to get midfield minutes and he is beyond ready for that role.

This is what I have been saying for a year and a bit now - we are falling into a trap with how we press high and get 65 Inside 50s and win contests back into that packed milleu of a forward 50 that has no space and little chance for good shots on goal. We moved away from it more last year and that was promising and what I saw on the weekend was good progress to that affect. @binman mentioned the less I50s and we also looked to progress of HB quickly from turnover and meaningfully (ie corridor and with kicking) at this stage that is just anecdotal but it is something we just have to do and get better at. Especially with our poor forward line talent - they need quick movement to give them the best chance. As a possible indicator, metres gained from the back half; 600 from Salem and over 300 each from Windsor, Rivers, Bowey, TMac!, Lindsay, and Petty. That’s all well above what they have previously produced (save for Rivers where it’s about average). That’s a promising sign that we can move the ball from our defence. You would want less from TMac and Petty but the fact that I don’t remember too much indiscriminate bombing from either is a good thing. It is starting to mean we have an open ground to work with and we are taking advantage of that.

Quite. To my 5 year old up here in Canberra - football is about Demons and Max Gawn playing other colours and that is that.
