Plenty of water to go under the bridge - I just don’t ignore the tonnage of water that’s already flowed.

This would be one of those things that happened when you were living overseas - we helped facilitate breast cancer awareness and some men were so secure in their sexuality that they could wear pink/salmon clothing. Still there are some that projected their own homophobic self hatred but that’s a history lesson for a different mirror.

HOW ELSE WILL THEY LEARN

In light of his non-selection a few may need to revisit their confident dismissiveness they met the reports/opinions of Grundy possibly not playing finals, leaving the club in October, and the whole thing being a misguided venture.

If you were in the Demonland Pub and loudly asked that question, you would be yelling ‘Anyone?’ over about 15 people telling you ‘we would go and get someone to backup Gawn who is less expensive and more comfortable playing less and/or playing more forward’ So meek posturing aside - if Grundy wants to go we will facilitate and that recalibration may make us a better team.

This is an argument for another thread but I would argue that Max needed to lay down his truth on the FD - if you want to make me a forward, I won’t want to do it nor be able to. Then we could have pursued a different strategy along the lines of McLean.

This selection says a lot of things about The Grundy Experiment, the Future of Grundy, the Spargo Situation, the Laurie Opportunity, and the Tomlinson Conundrum. Also, some on here are playing 4th dimensional chess when it comes to player roles. Selection Integrity demands that there be consistent roles across the teams that player compete for - Speed Forwards as Stafford calls them - however, each of those player have different strengths and conceptualise the role according to their capabilities. It doesn’t mean they don’t play the same ‘role’ and it certainly doesn’t mean they can’t lose their spot to a similar if not direct replacement player.

Can drop him now

Doesn’t surprise me that stat. Some would think he lost more games, younger fans would think he won more games. Nathan Jones played in over 200 losses… Well done to Max for staying himself and becoming a champion. One the best 3 players I have seen in red and blue. The other two also playing on the weekend…

I don’t know if it more compelling

I think they are similar roles that are played differently because of the varying strengths. ANB is different because of the work he does to release CP5 and CO13 at stoppages but MC need to decide what interpretation of the role they appreciate best and/or are complimentary. I think Spargo is a momentum killer and he dwells on the ball to much for a team that has too many of those players up and down the ground. But we will see what the FD think soon enough

Some shouldn’t GIF…

Not entirely certain I like where this thread is going… I mean I may be a ‘pathetic clown’ @Redleg but ‘pleb level gif work’ @Jaded No More… ’PLEB LEVEL GIF WORK’?! And nup, @daisycutter no one has got it yet…

Potentially. But potential is wishful thinking until it isn’t.

He’s already getting stints in the middle. This year has been great for our continued competitiveness at the top with Rivers and Pickett through the middle, McVee down back as an attacking yet capable defender, and Petracca proving he can go forward whenever and cause headaches.

rpfc till I die, or someone guesses what it stands for…

Yeah, my care factor is so low on this that I won’t say much but yes - this is for the effing players and staff. It’s got nothing to do with proximity to the G because that was always a dumb reason to locate a training base. It has nothing to do with getting fans there because that is the nuffiest reason (if I can use that as a pejorative adjective - and I think I can) ever conceived on this topic. Anyway, yay, one training base…

Same here. Jaded is a slave driver. I mean, another DDOS attack on Geelong regional infrastructure?? They barely have computer systems to hack… #worklyf

What do you think?

They deserve a flogging and we need to open the wallet, loosen the shackles, release the floodgates, and every other cliche. Kick 5 goals a quarter at least and beat them by 8 goals

We can’t invest that much in a 3rd defender. May will progressively turn into a gorilla tamer only maybe from next year. We need to spread the investment to the forward line and get a gorilla.

I would prefer his brother at the right price
