Gorgoroth

Things can change quickly, but they can easily stay in the same. Most would know I’m not a big Goodwin fan and most def not a Stafford fan. He should have been replaced last year. Goodwin is stubborn to a fault and makes some baffling decisions, but then will put it all together and blow you away. I don’t think we are that far away, but I don’t know if we will get much better than we have been all year. I don’t see us actually being a genuine flag threat as things stand and how they have been most if the year. We are no longer ruthless, we have gone back to wanting the 1 meter handball instead of protecting the player with the ball and we have lost that edge. No one fears us, but we fear others.

Got home too late to post, Goodwin and co made this game harder to win at selection. Petty was so far from ready it was ridiculous. Spargo as sub… um what? To the game, it is easily summed up. When it was there to be won they played fast slick football and we fumbled. twice in the last (and heaps through out the game) we had the chance to shepherd the player with the ball in hand and instead wanted the two meter handball and we fumbled it. The pressure rose and we wilted like a flower in the desert. Took no note of how to nullify Stewart and how he wasn’t smashed after pushing Viney over when clearly injured shows exactly what sort of mentality the players have. Of that was any other player Viney would have been at them. As things stand we are a 4th-8th team but unless we change quite a few things, we don’t look like a true contender.

Not a very versatile sub.

Still take an hour to get home 😅

I’m in the Geelong Social Club area tonight. It’s either going to be a fun night or horrific.

Seems longer. But could be. Be surprised if he isn’t blowing up half way through the third. And if on Cameron in the second.

I agree, but he hasn’t played in how long? And what has been said is he was going to come back and play forward again. Im hoping it’s all a ruse. I think Petty needs to play VFL to get match fit.

Outside of Petty not playing in how long? My biggest shake of the head is our backline hasn’t looked or performed this well in a long time since Thommo came back in. I think we are now meddling with things that ought not be meddled with.

I’ll wait to see the teams named before thinking this could be the dumbest selection in MFC history…

Horrible luck for the guy.

Cool, so our schedule will be week one Perth vs WC, home vs a Vic club, away vs Brisbane, off to SA for a home game, then away to Perth to play Freo followed by a Alice home game

Suns are losing so much percentage they will drop under Freo if they don’t steady the sinking ship.

These umps either have money on the saints or Freo to make the 8 cos this is putrid. But tigers doing enough to shunt Freo down further!

Years ago we were watching the tigers train as we headed into the ground and a mum was walking past with her daughter and the daughter (about 6 or so) pointed past us at the tigers training and the Mum smiled her toothless smile at us and said whilst looking directly at us “yes darling, there are some Melbourne supporters, they aren’t all at the snow” to which I looked at her as said “at least we can afford to go to the snow” and gave the kid a ‘im so sorry you were born into your family’ sort of look 😄

Poor bloke, imagine being stuck in Adelaide longer than absolutely necessary.

Only one I’ve heard say anything about how dumb it was is David King. As he said, why? It’s 50 meters off the ball and we are one of the few sports that allow that sort of contact anywhere away from the ball.

Sorry, should have been Aish stupid auto correct and stupid Gorgoroth not proof reading 😂

Serong and Amish out will be huge, and the GWS ruck is playing great so could do well against dogga, I reckon GWS are right in this.

This is good news, now let’s get this goal kicking boots on again chin! Love his efforts around the contest too.

Funny thing is he isn’t flash, just smooth and accurate. TBH I forget how little football he has played cos of how composed he is. They love the flashy types, I’ll take McVee hitting the target time after time any day of the week.

Mooney was right, There is no onus on the player protecting themselves, Aish should have been aware of contact and also braced or turned his side more to the tigers player. Years ago you didn’t lead with your head into a contested situation or go in wide open cos if you did you got smashed. Now they do and yes the player gets suspended but the opponent still gets hurt. If Aish and that player Hunter hit both turned for the contact then neither get hit. Afl are causing more hits to the head by not putting onus on the players going to a contest protecting themselves.

Well she had too! She couldn’t racially abuse him so she went to the next brainless action.

Reminds me of a young Ox in that he not only wants to be the player with the ball in hand in the big moments but relishes it when it is him and knows he is the right person to be in that spot.

Yeah I noticed the smile on his run in. I reckon he just loves the moment in the spotlight.loves the pressure and has a healthy dose of self confidence. Great attribute to have.
