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

We'll see how it goes

Regular programming resumed.

Can't wait till page 200. Will be like NYE 2000

Glad someone got it mo64!

We need to have a revolution

Yeah enough unnecessary potting of our currently contracted players. It's egregious, preposterous, outrageous.

One game at VFL level in the wet is brilliant Doug Reemer but not quite enough to convince me he should play his first game at AFL level which is streets ahead of the VFL standard wise, in the wet ,interstate, against one of the most fierce defences in the league right now.

If it's trying to con an official then it probably is cheating. It's a real strong word and was the word that started the whole Norm Smith saga

JVR to kick 5?

I'd say it's reading of the flight. More likely needs to go to specsavers than bulk up more.

Well in Collingwood's case they let it all blow up in trade period.

The word gets thrown around a lot, like someone claiming a goal that actually missed. It's not a great word.

I've been thinking about this most of today. 4 times we've had 4 goal + leads and been chased down, for a team as good as ours you could forgive maybe 1 or 2. I know loading has been discussed ad nauseam but I wonder how well this bodes for mental toughness and the mindset. When it comes to winning it all who can be toughest the longest matters, I would hope that we're still a resilient team but the manner of losses is concerning across the board.
