Rp back in Saw this one live and the Giants were up and about and we were coming even when they had their 22 up and about. Oliver fought hard, TMac is back to cinder blocks and Jackson is a jet from what I can see. Our drive from the back means we can win in multiple ways and not just through clearances, but with that game comes risk and daring and quick movement and not just the obligatory epithet that rings around the members; ‘kick it!1!!!1!’ All in all - excited and hopeful and Pickett is pretty good.

I am going to be ‘that person’ in this convo about Kelli Underwoood - I thought she was fine and try to put yourself in her shoes when it comes to ‘her voice’ - it is not something she can change and it is very close to something that is inherent to her being female. So I don’t give a shut that your grievances have ‘nothing to do with that, m8!’ - just think twice about shutting on people. rp out

The Anti-Oracle speaks and the opposite happens. So it is and always shall be. Amen.

I would like to know how they determined these numbers. From what I can see - having a dominant ruck man is akin to having a state of the art fax machine. Grundy and Gawn just don’t rule like their glorified ancestors did.

Clearances becoming less and less important as teams get most of their opportunities from turnovers in the backline or forward line. The biggest reason is the competitive nature of a stoppage means that kicks from there (most clearances) are going to be low percentage movements forward. Just compete in there and and don’t let a team walk out with it and then spread and get the footy going down the other side of the ground. Gruelling footy for mids but takes the pressure off to win the clearance stat.

He’s great but he didn’t turn the game. Our defence kick started a bunch or chains from the back half that led to ANB, Pickett and Sparrow goals - then they continued that into the second half occasionally screwing up and letting Steele to kick goals. Love him but nah.

They are working him back into fitness in the AFL so they rate him and will stick with him as builds back.

Gudinski was a big Saints fan. Might have something to do with it

More please. Pure dopamine hit this stuff is.

That’s a lovely sediment.

Unless in transition - he is getting the ball in the pockets and flanks - it’s what he does with it from there. Hopefully, with all players back he is delivering into the forward line playing high HF. Or Melksham is in doing that.

Added to this - the FD have him straight into the AFL to use these early games to build fitness so Shadow Brayshaw is certainly rated by the club.

That is not where he should lead to. He’s a 4th option. My problem - as I said in the other thread - is his approach to kicking a set shot is akin to someone getting their orders to take part in a firing squad; anxious, scared, solemn, and complete with the respectful shooting of anything but the target. He needs to stop practicing his goal kicking, turn quicker to keep some momentum, not slow walk in, and actually realise that it’s a thrill to kick at goal while the game stops to your will.

Yep

Great win. That check side winner from Tyla Hanks was a beautiful and scrappy inevitability as soon as the contest in the pocket begun. Good to be on right side of those for once.

I think our development is getting better from what I have seen. That has to be married up with picking the right talent and that will only be revealed after a few years.

This is just your MFCSS talking - I expect him to provide a target and allow out excellent midfield a more reliable option than they have had. If you want to make it easier on yourself by having subterranean expectations go for it - but reality does not promise such a pathetic return.

This is like being stranded in the desert and someone handing you The Desert News with a headline of ‘Water is wet, and it’s pretty dry around here’ what are we doing srsly

I like this as a possible makeshift option up forward. We are up [censored] creek and the club is trying to find a paddle and some of you are like ‘nah, I will wait for a better paddle... meanwhile, have you tasted the chocolate water?! It’s a bit nutty...’

That would have been made as 186 happened and Neeld was put in place; you would have got some good odds... What a great way to spend $1000.

A 'feasibility study' is not progress. lol Where I come from in ICT we literally do similar 'discoveries' to avoid doing something... Ah well, at least we have Casey. Who knows what the future holds. Good to have a fall back.

There is no issue with having a creed, or a vision or a mission statement of it is something that drives and defines everything an organisation does and has the sincere backing of a majority of the plebs at the frontlines. If it is ‘shelfware’ to impress idiots on forums then nah - I’m good. Ask Gawn and Lever and May and Oliver, et al - what gets you doing the extra thing, what makes you selfless, what pushes you to be involved at the club - that’s your creed/mission statement/meaning of life.

Thanks ‘rjay’
