Cool. So are you a Demons' fan? I've never heard anyone using 'their' as a pronoun to reference the team they support.

My apologies. Hold the ALT and CTRL key and then press the down arrow.

So the two points most commonly raised concerning St Kilda at Etihad . . . If we go in tall we get killed. How do we deal with all the Saints' talls?

I was actually fishing for clues as to where you had been. You seemed pretty confident in the sponsorship thread that we were waiting to announce. Wondered if you'd heard word from abroad . . .

The team I suspect we will see: FF Garlett Weids ANB/Harmes HF Watts Hogan Petracca C Tyson Viney Lewis RR Jones Gawn Oliver HB Hunt Tmac Vince FB Stretch OMac Melksham I/C Brayshaw Salem Bugg Spencer

Where did you go Old Dee? Beijing? After putting in a strong, positive preseason you seem to have returned a little gloomy.

Joyce was a literary master this is just lazy

Range Rover. Thredbo. Taking a swipe at Watts in your very first post in a thread on Allen Jackovich. And now 'Melbourne with their list'. I'm pretty certain you're not Paul Roos so my guess is a sad little troll.

I'm certainly no expert, but, 'hey look, we're probably going to start winning more matches soon,' doesn't sound like much of a convincing pitch to a corporate sponsor. There's our current market value and our projected market value. We're forecasting a sharp rise in our brand worth, but we have to sign a long-term sponsor before the spike. And winning matches isn't enough. We have to convert those wins into members, media exposure, and a more prominent fixture. It's a tricky sell and a delicate balancing act. We may even be better-off signing a short-term deal on lower dollar a la an up and coming full-forward.

This sentence is more temporally confusing than Terminator Genysis.

You're just bitter ENYAW has swooped in to nab your WODT award. Decrimate: A totally comprised word to produce one seem like they know what they're speaking frankly about when they really don't. https://www.azdictionary.com/urban-dictionary/definition/decrimate

Or a reflective panel for the hair-conscious. It'll be like sacrificing Bugg to taft Riewoldt out of the game.

One of the captains picked Richmond for the flag in last year's poll. They're not the brightest lot. And I'd suggest a portion of the middle tier wouldn't want to readily admit we're a finals chance in front of them. See Collingwood, St. Kilda, Nth Melbourne, Richmond, Essendon, Power . . .

Such understated beauty.

But the coaching staff aren't subject to our MFCSS scars. And I get the sense they're not sitting around fixated on coming up with a special plan to counter the past horrors of someone with a name like Maverick making us his inflatable pool-pony. My guess: we go in with the exact same game-plan as we did in both encounters last year. And we win or lose based on our level of development and execution.

It's usually safe to assume not.

An expectedly fripping encounter sure to frab the attention.

We have to ensure Gwilt is held accountable off half-back as well.

I'm not sure that being a four-goal-better side necessarily equates to kicking four extra goals per match.

And we shouldn't forget the stopping ability of Viney against the league's top mids in 2015.

It's not like I was harbouring any secret inside info. And in the same circumstances I would probably look it up before I originally posted a comparison of midfield numbers. Although it was evident that we rotated more than the Eagles and are perhaps looking to emulate the Dogs.

It's worth noting the minutes on ground between the midfield groups if player ratings vs. WC are to be discussed.

I assume neither of us are arguing Jack Watts is some footballing prodigy so it all becomes a philosophical discussion. And I could write the most profound theoretical exposition but if nobody understands it I have failed in its intention. Jack Watts is employed to kick or create goals. If he's not achieving that then he needs to adapt.

It was a tongue-in-cheek comment. Equivalent to your no. 2 PD. And yes Sue, I am saying that a player would need to dumb down their approach if they are not receiving the ball. Unless it is a direct result of coach's instructions.

This has been cited over and over again. I'm very rarely able to attend games live so can't comment accurately on whether it's true or not. But if it is true, and not just a perception brought about by an increased focus on Watts, then why? The blame either rests with the entire team for quite a few years or somehow with Jack. Is he asking too much of the kicking ability of teammates? Is he not demanding the ball loudly enough or at the optimal time? Is there a lack of confidence in his marking ability? Are his running-patterns so advanced that team-mates don't notice him in or expect him to be free in the space he his? In all scenarios, it's something Jack has to fix himself and can't reasonably be brought up in defence of his underwhelming impact.
