Beginning to think you're on the money

I must be dreaming, did an umpire just make a call in our favour?!

Thank you for your positivity, Dazzle! Not something I thought I'd be typing... I do trust your footy IQ so fingers crossed!

I do not have the emotional stability for this given the past crazy week at work and the Bombers game... They just said on Fox that this is the biggest first quarter Richmond has had this year 😫

Omw home from work, wearing a navy top, red backpack and my 2023 member scarf. Unfortunately in Sydney... but I'll raise a glass at first bounce in my lounge room!

I think people are trying to ape Clarry. But where Clarry is skilled enough to actually pop up, scoop, and handball a flick over the top... others can only throw if they even manage to succeed in actions 1 and 2.

Damn just got back from burning my pilaf and scoffing good wine with friends. Sydney really [censored] the bed. Although when you look at the injury list it is in perspective... I just don't like Geelong and this result remains unsatisfactory

Survival mechanism, WCW 😁 Respectfully, if one of the Fritsch footy boys had to have a bad weekend playing... I do prefer that it was Darcy. But that being said, CARN COLDSTREAM!!! You and Pauline (or is that Nibbler's mum?) enjoy those UDLs. I'll stick to my red wine and try not to burn my herb pilaf!

From memory, WCW is going to watch Fritsch's younger brother play for a local or VFL club (presumably Coldstream) which has blue and white colours. She's decked out in those colours to support the boy by dusting off her clothes from the bad old days of being forced by family to masquerade as a Carlscum supporter...! Fritter will be watching too. Also I guess they let her out of St Albans for good behaviour (and not just MFC games)! How'd my translation matrix go, @WalkingCivilWar 😁

It is apples and oranges with the way the fixture is currently structured... and especially this year where our main competition is Victorian clubs who are travelling 6 interstate games only. Regardless we definitely messed up with our prep between Adelaide and Perth. I'd assumed we would have stayed and flown direct and was surprised when watching the press conference!

If we want our game to truly be national then we probably should smooth it out so it's 8 interstate games for all clubs, rather than letting the interstate clubs bear the brunt

Doggies Adelaide Lions Criws Saints North (dark horse) MFCSS Bombers Have taken a few risks this round to keep things interesting! And also to see a few hated teams fall haha

@Tough Kent theorised in one of the previous training threads that it could have been Harry Demattia from the Dandenong Stingrays. Was apparently signing things in Dees gear at the Kids clinic too

Viney had strapping on his left knee and the pink training bib (for non-contact?) on the MFC insta story. Hopefully just preventative.

It was the same hairdresser but Clarry acknowledged they can't polish a [censored] (his literal words) 💩

JJ got a haircut today, that's all I can say. Source: Clarry's insta lol

Pffft, no, the grads are the ones using the ai bots. The partners haven't yet figured out how to make an account on Open AI 😋 (said with all due respect to the partners etc etc sorry Mr RedLeg)

Hey man, think about the slave driven juniors actually making the changes! 😋

Exactly, it's the 1%ers. This is something that led to our success in 2021 - I'm listening to a podcast interview with Clayton Oliver back in Dec 2021 right now while working. Clarry said "I didn't change much, my three big rocks after discussing with Goodwin was to train well, sleep well and eat well. That's all I've focused on this year" https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9yc3Mud2hvb3Noa2FhLmNvbS9yc3MvcG9kY2FzdC9pZC8zODkw/episode/ZjI2NGJiYmUtNDBjZS00Nzk2LThkMzktMWY4NmFhOGFiNTQz?ep=14

Some poor lawyer somewhere feeling the breath of hundreds of Demonlanders on their neck!

By the by, Lee Matthews mentioned he listened to an interview with Brody Grundy a few weeks back and that it discuss all our efforts on kicking with Choco Williams. Reckon that's your interview, @Demonland 😁

Likely Buntine!

Seems more like we'll be outrun in the first halves this year 😋 But more seriously in the Lions and Bombers games, it's heartening to see the final 15 minutes where players are doing their best... but it's too little, too late.

Agreed, don't think we should bring Max back even if looking forward to seeing him play again. I think it's more important we focus on getting our heads right in this next week. Try and find that hunger again. I'd like to see Max (and Lever if he doesn't get back this week) down on the boundary line spurring and leading the boys on from the side. Although not sure if that's allowed haha

Yes, I also liked the idea of Tassie for the year beforehand to drum up some local anticipation
