  1. We'll be back
  2. - Proper mid year bye - Proper breaks between games more often - No more Thursday night games (Come get me)
  3. It is kind of annoying how this comes up all the time and how flu stuff in the middle of the year or walking wounded team against Brisbane we're just meant to pretend didn't happen.
  4. So more junk time games for Bottom 4 teams? Go for it, I just don't want to hear any more about tanking.
  5. Onya Mitch. Glad we took the punt even if his time wasn't glittering here.
  6. All very good points but a manager worth his salt would be saying there aren't many opportunities here, as it stands its looking like Turner will go past him next year. If he can force his way in that would be great but if he can get game time elsewhere he and his manager shouldn't ignore offers.
  7. If I were his manager I'd be exploring options. I'd prefer to keep him on the list and possibly give him a go while moving Petty forward. If Tommo goes we will need to address that spot and have backup other than Turner.
  8. Expect a new CBA from the players then. They aren't gonna play another game for free. Not while Danger is running things.
  9. That's right, we don't have enough instinctive small forwards who know well enough where the fall of the ball will be. There's times when it looks like they didn't know the meaning of front and square. If we are indeed looking for new forward coaches I'd be wanting a new philosophy for the smalls once the ball hits the deck in there. Which makes me wonder if how system and forward methods are more concerned with getting in the right positions to apply forward pressure once the defenders have possession than actual forward craft?
  10. Yeah I thought in Rd 22 he could have snuck in for a vote. Rd 23 was a no brainer 3 voter and a no brainer no voter for Neale.
  11. Yep I'm with you. Apart from being a successful club that people are sick of with a slightly annoying coach and a few players I don't see much to be offended about. Give me Geelong over Collingwood any day.
  12. Without a doubt, looked hungry. 23 touches and 7 tackles.
  13. Has anyone won the wooden spoon the year after a flag? If so we can be proud we didn't do that.
  14. Surprise surprise!
  15. We need actual crumbing forwards who understand how to rove a ball off a pack and kick a sausage.
  16. Exactly, can't wait for it!
  17. Let's all celebrate this Brownlow with a cool glass of turnip juice.
  18. Their leadership got them through a lot of games this season.
  19. NFL

    There is steam coming out of my ears. For the 3rd time in 4 years one of our marquee players has succumb to a season ending injury: Trey Lance has broken a fibula and had possible ligament damage. Yes you do these plays when the game is there to be won but this was 2nd and 8 in the second quarter with a running game that was already buzzing! We'd run him in a series of QB draw plays but this one was more of a zone read and the inuwas horrific. As a Niners fan it is hard not to be angry at Kyle Shanahan right now. Last week and this week calling plays that invloved Lance running between the tackles through the middle and potentially getting hurt. Well he did and Shanahan took no responsiblity whatsoever in his presser. We traded 3 picks to get this guy and decided to use him as a FB, nice job! Couldn't help but think of RG3 in Washington where both Mike and Kyle were involved in calling that play 10 years ago. Plus side is the Jimmy G comes in and we know he can win you games. Don't think he's quite good enough to win or even get us to a Superbowl this year but playoffs are not a lost cause. Still damn frustrating, Lance missed so much football in College from Covid, hardly played last year and now loses another season.

    Good posturing there from Buddaroony
  21. Long live King T-Mac
  22. Hoping there is a bit more flow down with funds to Country and grass roots level with the new CEO coming in. Sorry I can't keep a straight face.
  23. The old lawyer trick.
