Yeah not quite the right part of the season to taper.

So true, the only thing predictable about us is our unpredictability. Let's play who we play.

Good player

Great tactical mind and studies film and statistics extensively. It's everything I'd want my senior coach to be. Shame he found himself at a tire fire of a club.

Would just be silly to to this right now. I kind of have this feeling he'll end up back home eventually (sorry if that upsets some here) but he's gotta be here for this contract at least.

Logically that makes sense. I think the MRP just worries that if both arms are pinned the player being tackled can't break their fall. A little unsure about the driving force thing though because surely not all of these injuries are from deliberate slings.

The other thing is that the game goes so fast you can't just tell a player to tackle but not pin both arms. That's just ridiculous.

We do need to take the opportunity we have now. Should we miss and go down fighting, I can live with that.

Not too bad from the look of it. The thing I recall about him was that he seemed rather slight framed, went to ground a little easily.

Good point, I reckon he's shown enough to suggest he's handy to have.

Remarkable achievement!

I'd actually be kind of glad if he hadn't met with us yet. I think it says a lot about a person's character if they are directly talking to other clubs in the middle of a premiership tilt. Leave it to the managers

Maybe a strained heart string

The next 3 weeks really does set the tone for who the future leaders are.

At the start of the season I wanted to aim for finals. It seemed like a goal that was realistic but with the right level of loftiness that could stretch us at the same time. There's no doubt that we've shown improvement, none at all. And for where this list is at experience wise you would be stoked with how far we have come. However with the position we have gotten into at this point of the season I do think missing the 8 would be a slight disappointment. There is stuff here that can't be measured on paper. Like the fact that we have a glass ceiling to break through, the valve that will be released when we do actually make finals can't be underestimated. For me the goalposts never changed since the start of the year. Aim for finals. Whether it was times when we lost to Hawthorn, North or Freo or when we'd get a great win over Adelaide or West Coast and people started getting giddy about us talking up top 4 or even 2. It never changed for me. I think we're a decent side, a top 8 side even but that is it. We have a bit of a way to go.

Can always dream..

How about we just beat them when we're supposed to

Yeah, only problem is we've lost to them twice

And that there is exactly right. If you can have it so your poor games aren't complete honkers then you're an elite player. Jack on the other hand

That sucks about Smith

You'd almost settle for one of his 11 possession games where he's at least always trying

Hope there's at least another Good-win this season..

Excuses

Troy Chaplin pls

Good on ya Corey. Head up
