  1. only if the coaches don't change their game plan. i.e. they get forced to tone down the press and some of the gut two-way running if they don't then they run the risk of big late-game blow-outs ***** assuming drastic reduction in interchange *****
  2. start at 10/qtr for a year. 15/qtr imho is not drastic enough maybe reduce bench to 3
  3. i'm sure that argument would sound reasonable to most efc supporters
  4. Tom Morris is not even on the list. won't happen ?
  5. Hawks midfielder floats interchange eradication Hawthorn midfielder Isaac Smith says the state of the game might benefit from 'nearly' putting a stop to rotations on the bench http://www.afl.com.au/video/2018-05-02/headlines-ross-speaks-bomber-bailed
  6. i've already heard one sports journalist blame his demise on the "unfair" accusations of the bummers supplements "persecution" (words to that effect) expect a lot of the "industry" to rally around and make sympathetic excuses for him gil will continue to flummox and make babbling sounds should be lots of opportunity for the sports journos to endlessly dissect it for months....without really saying anything more popcorn time
  7. of course, but i can only go on him quoted as saying he pulled up quite sore (no mention of injury)
  8. after being out for so long i'd be surprised if he wasn't feeling a bit sore tmac has great aerobic capacity and stamina. a week of smart training will do him wonders
  9. and chalk is notoriously brittle, bub. take your pick eh?
  10. i wish they'd also show the ones that missed
  11. same as the one he took in his first game, his first goal iirc. did remind me of flower marking
  12. at least though ernie, having this thread is a great way to identify the nuff nuffs
  13. jeffy plays better when its warm and humid. not so good when it cold wet and slippery. given that, he might be a good chance for the gcs game in 2 weeks (and the alice in rnd 10) if there isn't rain forecast. also probably better suited to etihad than mcg in winter.
  14. 6 from each team is the whole fwd + backline. this is far too restrictive if you did do it, 4 would be a more practical number
  15. who cares? it's only a game ?
  16. drastic cut in rotations professional umpiring + documented clearly defined change in rule interpretations (holding ball, tackling, handball/throwing etc) zones won't work other more minor points: ball up quicker when ball locked in (as it used to be) allow deliberate points (as it used to be) allow deliberate out of bounds if not on the full (as it used to be) allow 2nd man up except at centre bounces (as it used to be) 25m (minor) + 50m (major) penalties
  17. richmond have also been blessed by a lack of injuries
  18. sorry about the binman tag, p-man (and binman) probably right about being a bit late, i was reading an article on fritzl just a few days ago and i guess the gorge was still sticking strong in my throat
  19. not sure fritzel is a good nickname, binman google a certain austrian pos named fritzl
  20. hahaha........to the op........no cigar, son
  21. cheer up boys........i think we might have this one ?
  22. if we bring the same dumb game plan with no effective structure again we will get thumped
  23. you best be careful what you say then dr.
