Damo

Watched the last half on TV. In the rooms when they sang the song, every one was looking up at their teammates except Hogan who stared at his feet the whole way through. Anyone see it? Probably disappointed about his game rather than anything else but a pretty bad look.

Hogan is not sure what to do. He makes a lead and the ball goes to another pocket. If he is around a contest in the forward line he doesnt engage the fight on the ground for it. In fact unless he is in the mood he wont get too close to the contest. It looks like he is saying "Im over here"! Unless he has a sore back he has to get down and dirty. Watts did it, Jesse has to do it.

Russian Scientists have transmuted elements in to different elements. http://www.lifecoachcode.com/2016/07/10/russian-scientists-produce-technology-transmute-element/ Wonder if they can do anything with spuds.

The $2.7M he gave to bail us out seemed to save us from a bad fate at the time. Sure some stuff went down but it didnt seem too bad, then or now. Dunno why demon supporters join the conga line. But there are plenty of big time demon supporters who ousted him only to meekly proclaim that their proxies for Gabriel Szondy may have been a mistake. Yes, no biggie move on.

Jack Grimes 100th game.

I feel for him. Im sure as players get over injuries he will be down forward again. If he cant be 3rd tall, I guess he goes back. I didnt like the howls he got yesterday. Some mcc member really bung it on as if we never lost big time.

Winning at Docklands is worth 2 wins for me.

Terry Wallace. Not looking for other candidates.

We need to kick hard and low into the forward 50. Play Trengove in Kents role. Forwards try demanding the ball. Other moves are deckchairs.

There might be new thinking on stopping players having a night out. I know Adelaide Crows are encouraged/allowed to go out and have few drinks after a win by the coach. I didnt ask but suspect its not much different after a loss. I was surprised but happy to think that a few drinks, sanctioned is better than other options. Others may know more but sounds fine to me. And really if its the Alice, why not?

I think Trengove could do Kents role better. Kent seems to have lost his 1st 3 meters initial pace and Trengove seemed to have that when I saw him earlier this year. He can lead intelligently and might be able to find a forward from 60 M out. Cant be much worse in any case. He would also win in the defensive forward stakes. I try to see what I read others find in OMac and will wait longer, I guess. Tmac changes across goal and gives himself no favours by using his right leg closest to opposition, which marginalizes his opportunities. It is always a worry.

We could be better if we didnt bomb it from 45-75 out in hope. This happens even with a free kick or a mark. Kent Jones Tyson just dont even try, they bomb. I cant remember when I saw someone hit up Watts or Hogan on a lead more than twice a game. If Hogan is double tagged, he should be dragging 2 defenders to the "other side" opening up the fat side. Maybe he just hangs in close. I dont know why other teams seem to be able to hit up forwards yet our entries are fraught with sh!t kicks.

It is easy to believe winning is just around the corner. We need to beat the Saints, the Power and other mid tier teams to consolidate any progress. Coming close second to good teams rather than losing by 10 goals is a relief but that happens occasionally every year. Im hopeful and believe Im with the program but agree that "potential" is a word that gives me the tom-[censored]. If you dont learn from the past you are doomed to failure.

I would play Gawn mainly forward and Spencer can do most of the rucking. Play Hogan higher up the ground. Our midfielders are stronger than the group of Pedo Frost and Dawes.

Am I the only one who doesnt really care if we dont have that many nominations? 2 or 3 are plenty.

It looks to me that: He doesnt have great balance by the time he kicks. He is reasonably accurate anyway which is not a great defense. He is giving the impression he doesnt want to be coached.

Better players are worth more points come trade time. Its win win for players like George Horlin Smith at Geelong and maybe ANB and Vanders as they get to play 1sts with another team. For us if we have enough points from a couple of good trades, we can get a Dion Prestia (possibly) without losing a top 15 player.

There are plenty to thank for our turn around. Jack Viney made his team mates change by showing them how to tackle. They all got on board. We stopped being bruise free 2 years ago.

Toumtracca's issue isnt lack of confidence. Its too much.

Frost is exactly like one of those young running types who get your spot when you are old and slow. At training they kick it toward you and its such an ugly crap kick that by the time youve retrieved it, they are screaming for a handball so they can kick it out of bounds. No football skills. #still whinging.

Frost - Not this year

I hope to see him in Caseys best over the next couple of weeks. I think there could be a permanent spot in 5 or 6 rounds even with Max going well. What he does well, rucking and bullocking, is worth more than Pedos skills and Frosts speed..

Thanks JC I actually played footy where this happened a lot. Not to me by guys as big as Alex Rance but i dont need to experiment any further.

Sorry Ethan Im sure youd know what its like to lie face down on the grass though.

Yes I accept that it deserved 2 weeks. Penalties being what they are now, he had to go. I Still am worried about my 81-1 on Viney for Brownlow but I wouldnt have him any other way.
