Haha Gooner whilst... hahha.. you are thinking ahead.. hahah sorry some of the responses brilliant.. and trying to stay ahead of the game big Russ is really our only option for the ruck spot. We need to keep him and run him into the ground until he can't run no more. A large portion of time, money and effort has been pored into him, he is the bridge between our next big guys developing.
I recall hearing on radio recently whne they were debating about the Dons leaving Windy Hill they had plenty in the bank. Not sure if it was $20mil or $40mil. Minus $1mil for Knights contract plus expenses searching for a new coach and press conferences... hahaha love it. I hope the Essendon bowls club tells them to get lost and they move somewhere else costing them all of the savings.
The Dons board were to busy being worried about the supporter groups and coterie groups getting enough momentum to stage a board spill, worrying about their position on the board rather than backing the guy as a board they gave a contract too and extended that contract. If I was the influential supporter groups/coterie's I'd be staging that board spill faster than ever!
I didn't say it at the time but I had thought both players had not proved themselves at the highest level. I think they are moving very steadyly to doing just that. And it is good to see. Barts kicking/running himself into trouble still scares me when he has the ball in his hands but his tackling/pressure skills are right up there.
Dunny stopping roles have improved too, he ability to go the other way forward has added a string to the stopping work he has been doing.
Total football is a great term for it and it is exciting to see the MFC players being able to implement Bails tactics.
Mazza whilst not outstanding on the stats sheet or scoreboard his defensive pressure was right up yesterday. Something they have been trying to get into his game for a long time now. Here's hoping he can put the whole package together.
Agree a full 4 qtr, ALL team effort. Mazza applied pressure, chased hard and deserves another game or two. Wonna looks slimmed down again. His fwd pressure is something we need to see on a regular basis, here is hoping he can stay fit. Jordie Mc 12 tackles!
That was my point.... Not a fan of the Southern Cross in there. That is why I wanted to wait until it was presented by the club so we could hear the story behind it before making a judgement. FFFFAAARRRKKKK YOU HS!
Bugger bugger bugger... I don't read the HS any more but while waiting for a coffee this AM I was browsing it and lo and behold the flogs had it in the paper!!! I wanted to wait and see it once it was launched.
PS Looks really good. Keen to hear the story behind it especially the Southern Cross...
AAahhh hahahahaha mate of mine lived on Chapel st, the St Kilda end next to a pub (can't recall the name of it off the top of my head). We used to frequent it on Sundays as my mates hot house mates worked there. The Febey boys were both in there often on a Sunday with the bright lights in the eyes and smashig down the chewy's.
Gee wizz they have given Geelong and Doggies easy endings to the season. [censored] playing Weagles at home on Sat before finals... wow.
Also the dees and kangas screwed on time slot and revenue for us. Low drawing sides potenially not making the 8 on sunday at 4.40 at Etihad. We will struggle to get 20k there.
I hope by some miracle we need to win this to make the 8!!!!
hhhmmmm not trying to start trouble JD but I thought he was average at best. He needs to lift is intensity levels and focus. He shows some glimpses of real class and quality but needs to lift the intensity.
Looking fwd to seeing him develop further with Green, Jurrah, Bate and hopefully Wonna for us to have a really potent fwd structure.
