We lost to Carlton at Docklands in the pre-season of 2007 and it ushered in 12 years of irrelevance and shame. So let’s see if we can avoid that.

I just hope they haven’t capitalised the ‘r’...

I am sorry @Mach5 but this thread is the kind of thread that you would eviscerate yourself, to the point of getting a warning. You have allusions to knowledge, a known issue with Pert and the hiring thereof, and multiple posts claiming we are the ostriches with our head in the ground for not listening to the information you won’t divulge… What are we doing here?

I have wondered what she wants to do; coaching vs media. I guess we will find out. I would wish her well off to another team but I don’t think she should go out of her comfort zone (MFC) if she wants to keep playing and/or stay in the media. She would get away with a bit role easier at the Dees. Geelong. Ah I can’t say it’s a good idea to go there. They are about to fall off a performance cliff, and they have just replaced all assistant coaches. I don’t think that is an environment to get into coaching unless she commits to only that.

Yeah. Noticeable.

A ‘defensive wingman’ is a disciplined player who doesn’t know how to play wing. Angus can build to more than that. And @rollinson 65 - he probably has his own drivers that aren’t necessarily where he finishes in the Brownlow… When I look back at the Premiership he played in - he is remembered right behind Petracca, Oliver, and Fritsch. So maybe we should all stop projecting what we would do onto his future actions and just enjoy the present.

Yes, but only skin deep.

Oh hey Deeluded. Did you want me to call someone?

To give someone credit to do their job is my problem. Why do you get ‘credit’ for that??

So he does his job even when he has to do it for a woman… you wouldn’t trip over that bar it’s so low.

I am a Lever-like leader - but when your best player is as dedicated as Track is - there is no competition. CP5 for next captain.

Carlton-Richmond gets 80k even when they are crap. I know it’s a weds and Covid is still on the mind but some of you are severely underestimating.

I thought her comments in the GF were fine - the non-kick to Kozzie is in the eye of the beholder and I think she was right to point out when Track was blatantly trying to keep the ball in - it was an indication that we are back in this and happy for the chaos to continue as it was in our favour. It was that mindset that led Track, Viney and Oliver to put the foot to the throat in the last minute that turned a 12 point lead into GF over. The amount of critique she gets is far in advance of any bloke so even those that are in her corner are using the fine tooth comb. Watch in a normal game that doesn’t include the Dees - she brings simplicity to concepts and in understandable language. And she can read the game. There was a random Tigers game early in the year where everyone were thinking they were about to reignite and she didn’t see it and it didn’t happen. Made buffoons of BT and co. Not that that is tough.

This can misconstrued. I am saying I will be there and after I will be Covid positive.

Im going to be positive and say 91,345.

Daisy probably thought her days of doing that much work as the smartest player in the team (which is who you put as loose woman in defence) - but that was a reminder of how good a player she is and was. At 33 to do that - amazing. Tayla Harris is a gem and I loved how in the post match she corrected the interviewer when she said “the girls were calling you Superman;” Tayla replied; “they were calling me Superwoman.” And @Kick_It_To_Pickett - can you cool your jets when you call out the league as a a whole based on the officiating? It’s not helpful and is disrespectful to what they have built - which is amazing in 6 years. It isn’t diminished by the officiating. Imagine what a mess the VFL was in 1903…

So are you saying you won’t buy a membership if you aren’t assured an undercover seat? And you were a member in 2013? So possibly getting wet < 2012 Neeld era Dees? Maths is wild.

If he got longer I would be fine. Flag in 6 years, pretty good return.

‘Well in excess of 100k’… You are just setting yourself up for disappointment. We need to be in the top 4-6 teams for 6+ years with at least 2 flags and then we can talk about having market share like that.

And McDonald was training there too before injuries forced him forward. Bradshaw on the wing was, of course, down the list of desirable players for that role. He may want to back himself to take Harmes’ spot? Angus played an important role but please don’t let stats tell you a tall tale; Langdon was so dominant that teams avoided his wing at all costs. It was really quite something. Langdon is the superior winger and that’s not to be sneezed at; and if you are sneezing, you should probably head home.

With him signing his last contract after finishing 4th in the Brownlow playing a position he no longer plays in - it creates a problem where we won’t pay him to play in a position that can be filled by a disciplined, fit, defence first player on the other wing to Langdon. We will have to tread carefully with him and be open about how much we can pay him. He is probably backing himself to outstrip our estimations and expectations of his output on the wing and convince us that he is worth more than just the defensive wing extension to our excellent backline. Go Angus!

Wouldn’t have May OR we would have traded an excellent kid to get May, maybe Oliver??? Now that is a sliding door!

What a laughable character this guy is. And he should have been more maligned with that stare down of the Lions players he was doing last year. Never has a game been postponed outside of pandemic, the lights going out, the ground being unplayable, or for war. So did your team have Covid, Chris? If so, that’s a pretty big controversy and to keep that hidden is surely a fireable offence, yeah? But let’s give you another chance; Cars fans would love for the AFL to step in and relieve them of you - but let’s not ruin this… happy… marriage.

…with a mouthful of food.

Writes itself, really.
