If Melksham didn’t play this week, the VFL’s bye would have meant two weeks without playing a game. And they are keen to respect the players’ milestones which I think has to be a leadership driven thing. I wouldn’t have done it but clubs are interesting places and respect and ruthlessness is a never ending exercise in balance.

Oh ok sure, that’s what you meant… the primary administrator cares what ‘thread’ (it’s called a thread) we discuss this on.

He’s not the most eloquent at the best of times - he very quickly referenced Melbourne and it’s ruthlessness in his first diatribe on this on SFS. We have been where Essendon is and I don’t have a problem with what Lloyd said, or what he meant.

What May did was what Lloyd was talking about with Shiel. There was a lot of nonsense about Lloyd wanting them to go around and hit blokes (ironically he was a massive sniper back in the day). He was just saying that your passion to back up a mate can be focussed and that you should respond. Like the Dees. Our teams ethos is caring in its brutality.

That’s a good resource. Very impressive.

We literally have a thread up about the club changing it’s name. Im talking about the actions of the club, not trying to dismiss it as hollow, grandstanding, and ‘political’…

No one knows. Pure conjecture if you have read that somewhere.

So not much then. Good the club and others are doing more I guess.

How will you celebrate them?

His tackling is up tho so it just means he is pressuring higher up the ground. We just have let it out of our D50 easier this year. Keep in mind teams are scared to do much more than kick it short back there, and then it gets out to 80m from goal and we turn it back there. But our pressure has been down this year in the forward half and I think that it’s hard to be as ‘up’ and intense as they were last year…

The fact that a team like GC or NM didn’t pick him up for nothing at the end of 2020 is an indictment on their judgement. Great professional.

With other dominoes falling (Spargo) we look like we know what we have to play around with. I choose to take it as a positive.

I agree with the psychopath. We need to crush them, bury them, salt the earth, plant a tree where they lie, let it grow and then cut it down in its prime. Rinse and repeat. What? It’s perfectly healthy.

This is an embedded link to another thread! To technology!

Great news. And means we are fairly confident of other things are settling into place.

Only two things scare me; and one is playing the Tigers in a final at the G…

Possibly. Harmes’ hammy and 6 day break. I love our ‘Melbourne Way’ resilience mantra but great teams have been resting players since the beginning of time. So there is a place for it.

This sort of thing will always have an asterisk against it I think.

Here we go again… you kill one person and everyone is on you… Surgery IS hard, a you SHOULD try it! I tried it, and it didn’t work out but hey someone needed their liver out! Edit: right, appendix. Ironically, that was the problem in the theatre!

I think we need to sublet. Make some money…

He’s developing well down at Casey. Really making list management decisions easier, or harder depending on your view.
