I hope that fellow DLs have not taken my above post too seriously or been offended by my flippancy. Apologies. My intentions were just to entertain and have a laugh. I can empathise with many of the viewpoints expressed as they come from a place of care for the club, and sometimes from frustration when things are not working. My personal bugbears are triggered when inexperienced/debut players are constantly filling the role of sub, and then exiled for a few weeks. Personally, I think that they need a run of 5 games or more before they can show their wares. Within the areas of selection and structure, I believe that there are just too many known and unknown Unknowns. I believe that, with a decent run of luck, we can go far into September this year, and that the loss of Melky, Gus and JVR last year probably robbed us of one. Cheers

I just want to say that I fully endorse Goody and our game plan, but some people don’t like it and they think it’s Simply Too Predictable How can it be permissible They kick around unprincipled, yeah yeah Their footy it is cynical It's anything but winnable Goodys crazy of course, like a Viking whose norse You want to confirm if he's fallen off a horse He used to look good to me, but now I find him Simply too predictable Simply too predictable His game plan is not powerful, huh Goals - we simply avoid them all The trend is irreversible They should be invincible He's a coaching bore, and he sticks in my craw I just can’t applause, please just sack him because He used to look good to me, but now I find him Simply too predictable Simply too predictable Simply too predictable (He's not fine, there's no tellin' him my coaching plans) Simply too predictable (He's not mine, is there some other way to go?) Goals they are avoided - all! the backs are right against the wall He gives me feelings like I never felt before I'm breaking furniture, he's broken the last straw He used to look good to me, but now I find him Simply too predictable Simply too predictable Simply too predictable (He's not fine, there's no tellin' where the learnings went) Simply too predictable (He's not mine, but there's no other way to go) His learnings are unlearnable They’re simply incomprehensible, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh The footy it’s despicable, huh Our gameplan is just criminal, yeah yeah Goodys crazy of course, is the gameplan in morse? I can’t understand, no, I just can’t endorse He used to look good to me, but now I find him Simply too predictable Simply too predictable (He's not fine, there's no tellin' him my coaching plans) Simply too predictable (He's not mine, but there's no other way to go) Simply too predictable Simply too predictable (He's not fine, there's no tellin' where the learnings went) Simply too predictable (He's not mine, but there's no other way to go)

Nah. He was given the job of putting Yeo (yo?) on a short string.

Yep. This, and the grin on May’s face straight after as he’s patting him on the back. Priceless.

I’m still annoyed that his screamer wasn’t paid. So obviously a mark. His running patterns today opened up our forward line. And he showed last year that he can adapt it depending on the defence. I think it really clicked for him last year and it looked like he was enjoying making the other forwards look good as well. A big Welcome Back Melky!

Au contraire

Tmac Vines Melky Roo Kozzie Nibbler Apologies to Riv/Leb/Lingers/Gawn/Fritta et al.

Monners will be alright. As Kolt has shown, these young guys need 5 - 10 games before they can actually settle. They need to invest the time and a place in the team for a time. And not the bloody sub!

Think he’s putting his head in the hole and freeing up Vines with a handball.

Spring?

That was def a mark to Melky!!!!

I wouldn’t be surprised if the camera/tech crew and umpires just swapped jobs for a day for [censored] and giggles.

We played too small in the midfield and defence. Considering they had 3 good AFL midfielders, and 3x 6ft8 ruck/forwards, we were too short. Midfielders running to defensive spot. Leaving Brisbane midfielders to get our taps. Is there a plan? Forwards were all together. No space to lead into. Ensures defence can cover with 3rd man up. also, is there a plan? Can’t handball Defence constantly getting in each other’s way. Nobody left on the ground to rove. If I was Yuki Tsunoda, I might say that the umpires were “[censored] retarded” but that’s not very nice. So I’m just left wondering what did Kyah do in particular? He must have a particularly foul mouth and nasty disposition to put them so offside.

Just watching the replay now. Had to laugh when the commentator said they have their superstar tech team with them today. Camera work was woeful. The horizon at -10° is doing my head in. Didn’t they notice that the goalposts were sloping a bit?

So was it Hustwaite and Connelly that were out for the season, (injured in the state game?), and who was the 3rd? I’ve had a search but I can’t find anything about the injury list. But we are really missing some big bodies in the midfield Sorry, I’ve lost it.

Against the [censored] the bed champions, no less. Hopefully they’ll be back [censored] the bed against us next week.

Josh has had to cut down on his strutting since he pulled a groin.

Caddy is a bit like Morris but might weigh 10kg less than Jeffo. Just saying.

They can be taught - like lesser mammals.

Merrett’s spoil on Crisp needed more knee (or cow bell?)

I prefer to think of it as we just have short talls.

Was hoping for Ess to smash pies tonight but their defence is as sharp as a cheap suit. Edit: whoops - didn’t realise I was in the wrong lane. Soz.

If anyone can, Jakey can. Love the intensity he brings to the group. Fullo needs to grasp the opportunity if he gets it. But if not now, then when? It’s still only 22+1 players (when will it be 23?) Any backup for Max must be able to hold down their own place independently and add to the team’s contest. Can’t just be there to pick and choose when to put it on the line or to look pretty.

How much more dangerous than Stock Aitken Waterman? We should be so lucky.

Someone’s been moonlighting on here? Hello? Glenn? Glenn? Are you there, Glenn?
