Gorgoroth

Soft 7 at the moment, doesn’t look like rain for the day so shouldn’t drop to a heavy but prob won’t get to a good either. I won’t be able to listen or watch the races as I’m out so will need to decide, put them on before I leave and hope 😂

I got home and watched the replay and I found myself multi tasking and telling myself that one if the teams was going to get going…. I was wrong.

That game was putrid. @layzie I finally managed to get Blackwater Park 20yr anniversary on vinyl the other day.

I have 40,000lt worth of tanks and they are overflowing

Mate it’s a heavy 35 at my place, my chooks need to become ducks and I need a boat not a car to get down my driveway, don’t even try and walk in the back paddock or the swamp as it’s been for the last month

I haven’t been on the punt as much for a while but sort of keeping my eye in (and doing terribly 😂) Polly Grey is a absolute fav of mine and should run a good race, but I can’t see them running it, it’s a H10 now with a ton of rain expected. Open Minded in the 2nd at Caulfield at $20 is one I’ll keep an eye on. Meridus in the big race is a roughy I like but Golden Mile should win there. Anomoe should win, but with the rain coming in Mr brightside at $16 might be worth including in any tri/f4 bets

Yup, get a good oline that gets the run game going, and I don’t mean big chunk plays but consistent 3-5 yards per carry holds the middle linebackers which opens the pass game etc, conversely a great D line means the middle linebacker can drop back into coverage more often. The thing that always bothers me is go back over the last 20 years and look at the SB winners and look at their D as a whole and also the oline.

Olines are seriously underrated. If a team went out and got top 3-5 in every position their QB would have the best year they have ever had.

About to have our ninth starter on the oline with the back up Centre (who is our right G) now injured.

I must admit until last night I thought it ended tomorrow… [censored] me this goes on for [censored] ever!

Weddle isn’t the answer, not sure how fit he would be after tearing his pec in the SB. we are down three of our secondary so it’s pretty much Ramsey and rookies. We miss a great edge rusher Floyd has been poor, Fuller keeps popping hamstrings. And the offence is keeping our D out there, both our O and opponents O.

So our G who was playing C is now out 4-6weeks, we have a rookie 3rd choice C starting this week, another injury to the secondary. What ever happens this week, Morris needs to play our secondary different and McVay needs to work out ways to get the ball out quickly cos the cowboys D will be licking their lips.

Sure speed and running ability is good, but like we have seen with Hunt all too often over the years if you run fast and far and kick it straight to your opponent who then run the ball back up the other way for a goal… Give me a player who can get ball make quick decisions and deliver by foot over some one with speed. A lot of speedy players get through Jnr years on their quickness and become avg players due to their disposal. So many of them lack composure. Not saying Dow would be good or bad, tbh I’ve not really noticed him but I reckon his wage would be a sticking point.

It’s ok, I still have last years NFC game taped… oh and the super bowl 😄 But seriously, McVay needs to play a different style vs niners, shannahan out coaches him all the time and FFS isolate Robinson so he gets one on ones. I still am not a fan of Morris, he plays way too soft, the amount of easy 8-12yrd throws Jimmy G made was ridiculous. Jimmy played well, but you need to force him into the harder throws, give him the easy ones and you having a long day on D. Like Brady, he don’t miss often on those sorts of routes.

Well another year another loss to the [censored] niners. Couldn’t score in the red zone, Higbee was good, Kupp was amazing as always, onto our third centre which he did well, Niners D was good, our secondary was so much sloppy by-product that the niners skied on last to massive gains. Shanahan drew up teasing screens where our players kept trying to get the interception instead of tackling for loss. Deebo must just love playing us.

Nah the rookie, starts with P I think.

Gee @Macca absolutely no pressure on the kid then 😂 @layzie packers pats game was good fun to watch but not as fun as the chiefs spanking the Buccs, the score line in the end flattered the buccs. Chiefs have unleashed a good RB in that rookie (can’t spell his name)

I never said that, but it sure as [censored] wouldn’t have hurt.

Well they didn’t Need chip it around this year they slices us open at will. And seriously if you have a game plan that involves a tagger you essentially set up a 17 v 17 zone.

I don’t get that we don’t tag. I would each week. Doesn’t have to be a hard tag but FFS Harmes has done very good jobs on the best, use him each week to nullify their best. Seems dumb not to.

That would be good, if we got him for $600k per year that would be huge.

We hardly use him as a tagger so we stupidly ignore his best position so doesn’t surprise me that he is looking/being pushed elsewhere.

As I wrote earlier, talented but no thanks.

4:05 in the 4th, 20-20, Ravens have it on the 4yrd line and go for it… INT. Why not kick the FG and take the lead??? Baffling.

3 mins to go in the first half in bills v Ravens and the bills are horrible, dropped catches, interceptions on bad throws, dropped balls resulting in turnovers. Ravens O has been good but the Ravens D especially in the secondary has been fantastic.
