THIS DIDN’T WORK

TALK ABOUT ME GLOWINGLY AND WITH ADMIRATION I have left again

I have to leave NOW TALK ABOUT ME

Well it certainly won’t be a suitable excuse. He played through injury last year and when finals came along he was done. We will be fine. Good teams can manage with injuries.

We all care, RIA. But good god, man; get it together! There are limits to that care.

He has been a great addition to the midfield and has so much promise. But he also can fall back into being a very good HBF with a long accurate kick.

She has already said she is not

Thanks Yoda

You come here for @Nudge and you know it you filthy rumour loving gruntle. Sorry, having a weird day.

OMG, Essendon and Collingwood aren’t on FTA!1!1!1!1 What a disgrace because I am a Big Team nuffie who gets what I want all the time. Some of the nonsense in this thread is making me like the Gather Round more! Can we talk about the actual bloody game? Bombers are better. Stringer is still fat. Lever is sore apparently. Petty down back surely.

I really hate the ethos of this post. You say he is distracted - he seems pretty effing tracted to me and his direct opponents. You intimate he has made his mind up already and that is tantamount to saying he has decide to leave - that mindset is self fulfilling for the club. And lastly, this hand wringing is less to do with Kozzie and more to do with the fans of a club that is wholly unused to having a great young players. Thank JEBUS Petracca and Oliver signed up until the QLD Olympics with more than a year to go on their contracts. But that does not mean that all have to follow the same trajectory - we need to calm down and not burn our young on the altar of what they ‘might’ do - the club is bigger than that. Isn’t it?

Writing novellas evidently

The Lions won outnumbered contests and got the Pies out of position as their backs are so aggressive. The ruck issues were red herrings for both teams. The Lions look to be flat track bullies but beware when you meet them on a flat track.

I was talking about the cut that US sports people get of the revenue, so really no need for the country drive by there. The Saints we’re decimated before the practice games, and WCE or a shambles, so you can hardly argue the week earlier start did that. These guys are athletes - you tell them the parameters and they will adjust, some better with the help of High Performance staff. Frankly, I don’t know what the optimum number of games are but the 90s has years of 20 games as we jumped to the 22 that is now apparently so sacrosanct. Geelong want to take 16 mins off the game so their geriatrics can compete. I just don’t think it is such a disgrace.

Ummm, ok, what local suburban leagues do you attend? The AFL wanting to be a profit generating exercise is not new. Players get what 28% or revenue? The NBA has it as 51%. Are we playing less praccy games or pointless pre-season games? I don’t care that much tbh, but this extra game is fine. The teams are better with the talent pool recovering from the expansion teams and with the coaching and FD of teams in the best place than in years.

Oh it definitely would. The levels of discomgruntulation would be highest since 99. *since Champion Data started to get that number

As if a slower (than the best mids), smaller midfielder with an ok kick who has dominated finals would have no ‘footy IQ’… I scoff at the notion

Not sure they’re insured for that

It was touched FCS.

Absolutely, those three played on the halfback flank for Collingwood in the 90s if memory serves.

Well they aren’t gruntled I can tell you that much.

Well I haven’t said this much in my time but I agree with WYL... Only a Demons fan would argue that, with a team like this, after a flag, with a player like Viney, who sets fear into the hearts of opposition players, who our own Clayton Oliver is thankful he doesn’t have to play against… only a Demons fan would troll him (or her) self with spurious thoughts about the talent and capability of Jack “I lectured my teammates after my debut game” Viney. It’s laughable and lamentable.

He’s saying that he is hungry and that you should keep feeding him. Yum yum.

We are in a good spot and it’s only a month of footy; cool your jets on Angus. He is our best Ute and we are playing him in the backline which is fine. His kicking is ‘all duck or no dinner’ when he gets us going through the middle. Not everyone is going to be firing on all cylinders and he is a proven player. He may bite off a bit, but our new gameplan demands someone bite off something down back to get us going corridor. May rarely does, Lever never does, Petty Nup, Rivers is increasingly ahead of footy, Salem injured, Hibberd prefers down the line, and Bowey needs someone else to try and get us going.
