  1. Apparently it will be for Peter Jackson - he’s linked to North.
  2. My two cents; it takes a pretty good team to be so surgical. They may have let us in - but we we’re ruthless. Teams are going to let us in this month…
  3. I came down for that game and we did struggle in the backline - and we were clearly sluggish - most likely for our loading being at its zenith before the bye. My main point is that we can assume similar for Sydney and so it is difficult to draw much from that or the game itself. It was one of the first games that illustrated that we were not going inside 50 too well, which has come up a few times since. Again, how much you draw from that game is up to the beholder.
  4. Unless you’re being facetious, Sydney would have also had an elevated regime too. They were just better than us. Reid got a hold of a backline without May and we never looked like kicking a score without Gawn being in the square.
  5. Love to hear you guys wax lyrical about our efficiency going forward and how we turned 26 I50s into 13 goals in the first half. The age old unanswerable question; was that more about the opposition than us? I think that is does say more about the Lions but, nevertheless, it was a great habit to get into to lead into space more and lower our eyes more and be more patient. They are obviously running in waves and fitness is very high. Utilising that, they gave it to that runner laterally a few times and they also kicked it better with less blazing away.
  6. I can see you have made up your mind by the stilted rhetoric of your post. ANB does defensive work up and down the ground that are the reason we are so good. He also works hard to create space for Petracca in the forward half so that CP5 can get free. I’m sure that next year they will get Bedford or someone to also do these selfless things but right now he is a very important cog to your team and you might want to have a look and see a bit more than stats. Yeah, he can lift, he can hit targets and finish off our good work. But that doesn’t diminish his role and how much he works to play that role as well as he does.
  7. So this finals structure is like a Dan Brown novel according to the ‘efforts’ in their thread. Lock it down, people! You’re embarrassing yourselves…
  8. Of course not, coming back into Canberra airport at 3pm with a toddler and a pregnant wife is. And yes, get whatever paraphernalia that gets you off your couch and to the game. Lucky bastards.
  9. I won’t be able to make it, coming back from holiday that arvo up here in Canberra. So you better have good excuses to sit on your [censored] and not get to the G.
  10. Could be the Thursday and no Papley. He’d be crying in his cot! You know, when he recovers from his concussion… …
  11. Yes. His name was Lachie Fisher I believe.
  12. Pies have effectively finished top. lol Chris Scott is going to have a whinge. I just hope it’s public.
  13. A club that refused to see their own folly, and have deluded themselves into thinking they can steal or borrow a good culture. They need a clean out but they will most likely double down on the current culture; replace the CEO as well as the coach and stay in the cellar for another decade… Huzzah!
  14. What? What for?
  15. Our connection was superb on Friday. So efficient with the footy going forward. I know the opposition was allowing time and space but still, we were leading at the footy and getting into space. Good tune up. For those that think there was nothing to improve… that wasn’t an improvement?
  16. Probably why we beat them at football nearly half the time…
  17. No change other than Salem for me. The change I want to make is in a month for a Prelim on a certain CHF and I have no idea who to drop…
  18. I’m intrigued. How did you end up here, not knowing that? I mean no offence, it’s just we’re a weird and tiny cul-de-sac in a much bigger city and you just asked for the name of the city. We can tell you, sure, but came a long way down a bunch of weird roads to ask us…
  19. Violence is never the Answerth…
  20. With WCE getting above 41 points - we are the best defence once again!
