  1. I believe their tagline is “you’ve given your personal details to Facebook for free! So give us a dollar and give them to us you walking gmail account!” And once again, membership numbers are a waste of time as a measurement of whatever it is you think it measures.
  2. Don’t cry because the ride will end, be glad that we were able to ride it together.
  3. Brown omitted. You’d have to say that’s that for Brown. Petty or Grundy or JVR. Much of muchness as forwards, Petty the better contested mark, Grundy the better back up ruck (lol), and JVR the best pack breaker and future of a club. Pick two of them and cross your fingers. And tell them to get out of the way of CP5, Fritsch, and Kozzie…
  4. I don’t know why some get so incensed at the media; they only, by and large, have a shallow look at all teams. Here we have a ruckman playing VFL on $650k, learning enough forward craft to play in a deep finals run after a career famously struggling to play forward rules and take contested marks. Neither is there nuance readily apparent that has been mentioned by many on here. So until the narrative changes - and it may be this Sunday - this is where it is.
  5. We do two things; eat grapes and make history. And we’re all outta grapes… Really need to go to the grocery store…
  6. Or have only a passing interest in the draft… This year an exception of course…
  7. I assume McKay gets NM ND3. The AFL have the compensation in a black box for a reason - it can spit out anything they want. Like Angus brayshaw to the Dees…
  8. Nah, play some footy and move the ball with dare.
  9. Yeah, we are going to drop games while missing 2 of our top 7 players. I just want to see some exciting footy; there is no point in making it 60-70 slugfest.
  10. That’s too tall and dumb. If BBB is done then just go small and put microchip in Grundy so he is shocked every time he goes more than 30m from goal. Smith, JVR and Petty are just not forwards up to a standard we need to move the footy against the best… he’ll even middling teams would bottle them up. Go Brown or go small. Also where is Track and Kozzie?? You know what, go back and try again.
  11. My ignored users list has some absolute doozy’s - anyone remember Hardnut? Anyway, BBB does the kind of forward movement that we have dropped $650k worth of resting ruckman to learn in 3 weeks. If he is dropped it is his body that is failing him - for those that pay close attention - you will see he creates space for others behind him and makes our forward line seem deeper. Anyone can create a contest (actually that is a fallacy) but to create it in the right spots and the right times is the key to a functioning forward line. My best games at CHF in my opinion were the ones where I drew two to allow an open player, worked to get across to split the defender, and provide a target on quick plays that sometimes was simply to get it to ground in the hot spot in front. Why have we forgotten how important role players are? Didn’t we win a flag based on that? The stars keep you up there, but the salt of the earth role players are the ones that win you big games when the stars cancel each other out. Now. Bounce. That. Pill. Note: Not Broden Kelly but thought I needed something rousing…
  12. Yep, just like [censored] holes - everybody has them. Some stink more than others tho
  13. ‘Have a teary’? Why do you think he is playing? Let’s flip that around; Goodwin comes up to you and tells you to wipe your nose, close your mouth lest the flies get in, and asks you why you think he is playing. What do you say?
  14. Literally the worst kind of ‘supporter’
  15. Is it still school holidays in Vic?
  16. How good was Pickett up the ground? I think it’s the Chandler Effect.
  17. I agree with him. We have shifted in game style and personnel and it has worked. We look better with the footy than we have for a couple months. At some point I would bring in Grundy for JVR and Oliver and Fritsch of course for Jordon and Smith in the 23 but we are getting there.
