Chook

The more you see, the less any individual thing you see affects your overall perspective.

We won without them so maybe our depth isn't so bad.

It's kind of relevant in that our best performance of the year was had without them.

A terrorist...or Ned Kelly with a tan? After a long day at work I find it really hard to get emotionally invested in things like this. The Bali Nine, Bachar Houli, Chris Judd, Alistair Clarkson. Even the earthquakes in Nepal. I'm so buggered and knee-deep in my own shitty life that at this point, if it doesn't directly concern me I find it really hard to care. Is this what it means to get old?

Tried. Still couldn't figure it out. Something about money.

It looks like playing Melbourne is a recipe for tired legs. If only we could play the team we play each week the week after we play them. We'd win every week.

EFA. They're posts, not Ents.

The Tenacious Dees, eh? I like it.

"Gameday was filmed before a live studio audience." Spew. In other news, Nathan Jones is a proper captain. That's nice to know.

Hahaha Scum, Filth and [Censored] as legitimate AFL nicknames would be great.

Some Geelong player that I don't really know is tearing it up a little at the Cattery. Not too concerned though, since it's not our club.

Nup. Still don't believe it.

When Howe flubs a kick in the forward line, we score a point. When Howe flubs a kick in the backline, we get a goal scored against us.

Agreed. How does it benefit the NFL in any way to exclude other sporting codes?

Mediocre teams should stick together. Us vs them.

Lake, Frawley, Gibson. They've bought their entire backine. So much for developing your own.

Wrong, IMO. Hit the post. The camera angle made it look a little like it hit the player's leg, but it hit the post. PS, I'd still trade Hogan for Fyfe. He'd be the only one in the AFL though.

Can't have been that lucky of a jacket if you lost it. Besides, we won; so maybe losing it was a good thing. Also, I don't think those Richmond scarves were "lost" so much as abandoned. In all sincerity I hope someone here found your jacket and can give it back to you.

Can't argue with any of that. I'm only saying that finals make everyone desperate. Everyone.

IMO, GWS and Adelaide will both make finals this year (and pretty comfortably too). I think that puts our loss in Round 2 into perspective. Horrific 2nd half, but against better opposition that a lot of people were giving them credit for.

I'm ready to start being able to call everyone and everything a [campaigner].

So that's why Toumpas is out of the team. We've been playing him in the wrong position—he's a ruckman!

That's a pretty accurate assessment, I'd say. My only disagreement is that I think he'd put his body on the line if he thought the stakes were high enough. That's why the pressure is so high in a final—the stakes are massive so everyone goes as hard as they can.

Lord can be spelled LORD too, though an upgrade from Saviour to God is probably a little premature at the moment.
