Underperformed big time last Friday, no getting around that.

Westbrook was possibly the worst decision the Lakers ever made.

It's fair to say he doesn't spend as much time forward as Max does lately.

Then for some reason he got that ridiculous suspension and was banished to the stone age.

This could be the time for JVR!

Reading this thread is like being a day trader and checking the stock exchange every day.

Savage Chelsea at it again sacking Tuchel after their loss to Dinamo Zagreb this morning.

We need David King or Joey Montanga to make sense of this mess. They're good.

Yet there's people wondering if Ben Rutten could make a good midfield coach..

Hold on there, you mean our members actually attend games?

There are probably better comparisons but they both seem to have the same confidence issue.

Maybe unlikely but IP addresses have been handed over for less.

Would be nice to get some kind of Kayo club member discount.

Schache is another Watts to me. Gets bodied off it too easily.

Thanks Lord, had a feeling.

I wasn't paying attention on FC but I thought I heard Caro saying something about Nine losing the NRL streaming rights or being prepared to give them up in this bid? Someone else may know more.

My Yr 12 English teacher used to say "Thinking hurts, that's why no-one does it".

Bit rough on Bowey.

I'm guessing one end is defensive and one end is attack?

Absolutely. Get some quality picks to invest in youth, maybe bring in a much cheaper recycled option from elsewhere as cover in the ruck but the key is to keep getting quality young kids in. It shouldn't be forgotten either that being a new draftee playing alongside good premiership players can potentially fast track their development. It likely won't take forever like it used to in basket case environments of the past.

It is disappointing that we weren't able to trial JVR at some point during the season and Freo was probably the best chance. I don't think we've lost too many games at selection this year but it does make you wonder if we would have been in a better position if we'd got games into him and Chandler who could possibly have made a better case to challenge for a small forward spot. We'll never know though.

Exactly. Teams that know how to setup for it defensively and know exactly where to position themselves for potential turnovers in good areas can handle this fairly comfortably. We really need to vary up the ball movement and entries into the 50. I know it's probably easier said than done because if these guys have had a plan drilled into them to kick long and lock in 50 it can be hard to think of anything else in the heat of the moment. I don't know how the coach can get this across in the best way that doesn't confuse everyone but this is what is needed. When you look at the finals last year our best footy came from when we elected to use quick ball movement and catch the opposition off guard. Mixing this up is going to be the key, it's all about planting that seed in the opposition's mind and hitting up short when they expect us to kick long and kicking long when they least expect it and haven't got time to get set in position. When we want to control the game we can go into kicking long down the line again. Much easier said than done of course.

Game of inches really, if Tom had another 2 weeks up his sleeve that would have made a massive difference. Timing just isn't right.

Not going to go with a Superbowl prediction just yet but I'm going to have a stab at the Division winners for 2022 off the top of my head. Feel free to argue: AFC East - Buffalo Bills AFC North - Baltimore Ravens AFC South - Indianapolis Colts AFC West - LA Chargers NFC East - Philadelphia Eagles NFC North - Green Bay Packers NFC South - Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFC West - LA Rams Quick notes: - Colts upgrade at QB, yes he's getting on but still the best QB in that division. - AFC West is the stacked division. I wouldn't be surprised if they all finish over .500. Giving the Chargers the edge, across the board that is a brilliant roster with few weaknesses but it could be anyone's. - Bruce Arians reckon Brady's passing is better than ever in training camp. Prepare for some big numbers - If someone with a name that isn't Aaron Donald is going to win defensive player of the year I'm tipping Micah Parsons to give it a good shake.

Banana smoothie always a good start to the day!
