  1. I'd rather punt on Smillie than someone like Reid but that's just me.

    I don't know too well what's happening on the offensive side of the ball there but it appears to be a mess. Does Hackett even do anything now? Can't imagine Ulbrich gets too involved being of a defensive nature.

    I think he is overrated too Gonzo. Always trying to reinvent the wheel and he never takes responsibility for losses. In this game he was giving Purdy a big 'talking to' in the locker room while the media were in there. Not good enough. I would have Saleh back as DC in a heartbeat, I'd even consider as head coach but that's because I'm mad right now. I can't agree on the Seahawks through, Seattle scumbags more like it.

    Thanks Go The Biff, nice to get some credit for it at least! We just do nothing in the redzone now, CMC was vital to pretty much everything we did in there. The best was deciding against going for 2 to tie it up and then missing the extra point! Sorry Spurs have got you down, plenty of season to go though 😀

    Probably one of the shorter trips in the Goulburn Valley League really. The thing that is bothering me about this based on both accounts is Pert's involvement. If the Oliver camp were happy with how MFC were handling him and we'd just had the debacle with Trac, then why would Pert choose this moment to undermine everyone and shop Oliver around? We were firmly in the spotlight needing to not make any sudden movements and this was the moment to go rogue? Can't get my head around it, even if Clayton wanted to test the waters this could have been done through the FD. If true then I can't see how Pert's position would be tenable.

    This one has been a tough one personally. Most years I like to try new techniques out but this year time has been a factor so I've just been getting work out as soon as possible with not a lot of thought on detail. At some point I might post an example, just be kind!

    **Rant alert** After two bloopies against our division already the Niners were presented with a chance to get the season back on track in a SB rematch with the Chiefs and a depleted chiefs at that. Yes we've got a hospital ward full of casualties but there was enough out there and of course we've got the chosen one Kyle Shanahan calling the shots! It would be tough but a great opportunity to build confidence. No. No. Chiefs get an early lead but give up two uncharacteristic turnovers, here is our chance to pounce! 12-14 down and marching down the field, BANG Brock throws a stupid pick. After the Chiefs score, we take it down again. Let's just try and get it in the endzone and make a game of it, no another pick in the endzone. Brock's worst game for the Niners and I count last year's game against the Ravens where he threw 4 picks. But the F on my report card has to go to the coaching. I've now decided that Kyle Shanahan cannot coach against good man coverage. He is amazing against a base defense that plays soft zone coverage, but when they play press man coverage he never seems to be able to scheme anyone open, ever. He is also only as good as his running back. He might be one of the best run play callers we've seen, passing plays I think he's bang average and after 8 years you'd think you'd have assembled the personnel you wanted for this. Nick Sorensen is looking dodgy as a DC as well and I am so sick of playing the Wide 9, we aren't getting enough sacks out of it and it only works if you have a big stud defensive tackle. Admittedly losing Javon Hargrave really stuffed this. It's shaping like nothing year, making the playoffs would be a great save but we've now lost Aiyuk likely for the season (Money well spent guys). It's the season I've come to expect after a Super bowl letdown, from that first moment when McCaffery had the achillies injury I knew it was going to be tough sailing. Rant over and apologies.

    Definitely. Not only does he have an inside game but it's actually pretty decent. He's got a 'calming' feeling about his ball use much like Pendlebury. If offered Langford and Lindsay for 5 and 9 right now I'd take it and shut the gate.
  11. For those who have watched him closely, does he have scope to move into midfield? Seems to have good athleticism and I'm wondering if he could be something in the Pavlich mold.

    Scoop’s in the stairwell making some new medicine Morris pounds the pavement, looking for acknowledgment Robbo in a trench coat, smokes out, laid off Breakfast show with Harf, not as good a pay-off Lookout tweets, it’s something you did God knows when but you’re losing all your friends You better duck to the US looking for the new Trac The man in a big branded cap in a big pig pen Wants 11 million followers, you only got 10.

  13. Me too, he plays with rage and as if every game is his last. Hopefully a bit more size and it will be great to see what he can do.
  14. So proud that this guy spent time at our club. You could tell that his mind and desire was as sharp as ever but the body just wouldn't allow him to do what a needed to. This was really evident in the seasons following the flag where he would have ripping pre seasons and first few games but then tail off once the wear and tear kicked in. Wasn't through a lack of trying. Never forget 21.
  15. Looking forward to seeing how he comes back after pre season and what he can offer.
  16. Just wish things worked out better. Seems like a good lad, hope the future is bright for him in whatever he does.
  17. I thought about this yesterday actually. It can make some players but it can certainly break some and understandably so.

    Yeah it's really funny and unfortunately a lot of trial and error and I wouldn't be surprised if my exact situation with chromecast worked perfectly for someone else. For whatever reason when I use it with Kayo I get the buffering despite it never happening with Optus, Stan or anything else. Gee wiz, the cost of living crunch is really making us choose. If I had Foxtel, HBO would be one of the last things keeping me there.
  20. What is this thread on about?
  21. layzie replied to Diamond_Jim's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    It always depends on the many cocktails of the connection methods. Chromecast with ADSL broadband I find a bit clunky but after switching to Amazon Fire Stick this has been the best Kayo streaming yet personally. As an aside, where is HBO heading to?

    We shopped him around but we 'wouldn't budge' in our decision to retain Oliver. Word.
  23. Blehhhh, burnnnn, sizzle!
  24. Taught him everything he knows?
  25. On average it usually takes till the 3rd or 4th post for someone to suggest it. Good job adonski 😄
