Cheers for that. It's a real balancing act and something you can see teams prioritising when it comes to getting the right coaches for it.

Good egg!

You deserve a lot of credit my friend!

I mentioned briefly yesterday that although he said he would decide at the end of the season, no-one was going to be upset, disappointed or throw him in jail if he came out and re-signed earlier. It was a big decision to make, I feel he spoke the truth there. The stay factor ended up carrying plenty of weight and that isn't at all surprising.

And it protects the club so if they ever do want to leave which could happen one day, then it's all in the club's hands.

Gonzo we can watch this to our heart's content today with a smile!

Love you Gorg! ❤️

Quite a few here bought the silly smokescreen interview but I love you all anyway! Go Gus!

I'm sure we'll be doing our due diligence on all players like Amiss and others that could potentially be part of a deal. Have only had limited vision of Amiss but he seems like more of a leading/separation forward and not really a contested mark. We've got a few of those already but he could also be a decent long term prospect.

Is there any kind of ruling on handballing to yourself? Like does the handball need to hit hit the deck or a teammate to be considered a legitimate handball? I appreciate your take on this Macca and we should definitely aim to play team sport in the fairest manner possible. There will always be some loopholes and 'cheat codes' that players take advantage of and it will never be perfect but as long as we're doing our best to get the blatant cheating out of the game then that's all we can ask.

I'd buy that on Pay Per View. Sort of reminds me of that show in the 90s Celebrity Deathmatch!

Interesting! I'd love to get a look at some of those studies Deenooos. Are they available online? They've had the media blowtorch on them all week this week. Questioning their pressure levels, some even suggesting they pick and choose when to make efforts now. I really hope this lights the biggest fire under their A***s this Friday.

Words are like bullets

Some decent points there La Dee-vina and a different way of looking at things.

That's right and Binman is usually the first to say that he thinks there are other factors but that loading is the most significant one. I certainly don't disagree with it but I'd hate to think the mental side has been neglected because as we know it's probably the much harder one to fix.

Yeah I was gonna say something like "Have you ever considered that us fans can coach the game better than you can?"

They would have known that Adem was in line for big interviews like this. Hope it is a moot point though.

Something I'm finding is that there's now more talk about physical conditioning and less talk of the mental aspect and how resilient the side is. Eg. the leads we've blown are mainly due to loading but mental toughness, confidence and the psychological side don't get a second glance lately.

I'm going to do a search for 'best possible deal' in this thread. It might break the search engine.

Less hang time, more low time. This economics is currently making us brokeanomics

Sprung!

If you're so keen to tell us what it isn't, then how about telling us what it am.

Yeah bit hard to take but it's all flip flap at the end of the day in this business.

Would be shocked if Richmond parted with Balta.

What a surprise that this could happen with a rule that wasn't thought through properly
