Will be pleasantly surprised if Jeffy gets a run. So many logical reasons to do this...but hey... it's footy Be VERY intrigued if they DO play both Spargo AND Jeffy..have been want ting to see this just about all year..Just have a gut feeling theyd work well of of each other and wouldnt trip over each other either. Frost seems a beyond "about time"inclusion I await official team sheet with more interest than I thought Id have this week...tttt

no we werent particularly a good team back then....but id be very surprised if anyone other than Nostradamus picked that result. Not having Sandilands means theyll probably lose the ruck....so have nearly every team playing Max Gawn...makes no difference...other teams better at clearances than us still. Not having Fyffe should hurt. Our history at that ground isn't too flash..... Freo ought to be a little better aclimatised atm to warmer things. If Richo can figure us out you can BET your house Ross Lyon will know what Goody is thinking..before Goody is thinking it !! This might if we're lucky be a close game

He wasnt out of a job because he refused to do the media dance...thats Premier League..a whole different beast to AFL. Still..some folk know how to handle the media..

Possibly not..I mean who was expecting 187 ?? Im certainly not expecting much come Sat.

Mourinho was very respectful in saying nothing. Theres an art to it Theres a chasm between the hogswallop often trotted out ...and saying nothing ( essentially ) Even Tmac has that worked out

Theres a brutal simplicity to the idea of what some want at a presser ( getting it another thing ) When some say we dont want words...That's it..we dont want to hear anything really..especially recycled garbled rubbish. Something akin to Mourihno meets Malthouse will do just fine. Nothing...or next to nothing....then you ( Coach ) can go back to what ever theyre supposed to do Why is this hard

spot on threads derailing.......just like the season

A little underwhelmed to tell the truth Neither setting the world on fire. Good for them though...nice earner

Yes...he does need to lift...to stand up...to actually impact the game for 4/4. Most certainly. Has a busload of mates who might join in. Strangely some need to take the foot off the pedal a tad and concentrate more on the steering. Whatever's ailing Trac he either needs to put it aside or get over it.

I for one would applaud.

Given our supposed preference for Buller and Falls these months then surely what we need to create at Yarra Park... is the MFC 'SNOW-dome'

not KP..for sure...but , maybe just me , I see the makings of a very lethal forward flanker... By nature thats a player that moves into the fwd line...and though the guts. If hes not quick enough to be a small fwd then he isnt likely imho to be quick enough to play as a mid either...( I presume an outside player )

Maclure is right...sadly It's not Trucks fault we're in a rut ( as is he ) ...it's more he's a symptom, as suggested of it all. If Track lifts... that's good but the idea it's his presence ,in a better playing performance, that might drive us onward and upward is I feel misplaced. Christian plays in a somewhat manic manner at present. He's up , down, all over the shop but rarely if ever... consistent. This is another signature of our game... we're manic ...and inconsistent. We need a better accross the board cohesive effort. Everyone keeps waiting for this Jack in a Box to jump up and rip a game apart, and that not only will that make the difference on that day but will crack the dam and release the torrents ever after. You'll be a long time waiting. As mercurial and exciting as he can be, sporadically and mostly cameo, he hasn't the tank to go at it all game nor does it seem to this observer the capacity as yet to stay focused and driven. If we're waiting for Christian... we're in for an unpleasant wait. I think it'll be another preseason and some serious thinking on his part before we see the better/ improved CP and I hope we do. He's not our Mr fix it though.

Maybe....the DEEstroyers ??

Yes , it's all a game...pressers. I get it. I still see absolutely no reason a player needs to open his mouth but if a game , then I'm entitled to gauge how well it's played. For mine you need only engage the 4th estate as little as needed. You can show them polite contempt and get on with your REAL job . You can become poor viewing etc. You can make it irritable for the idiots with mics. It's been done before. All we get are cliches ad nauseum. The mantra of 'dont feed the trolls' can be easily applied to the media. Part of the reason , imho, that Goodwin uttters these nonsense contrivances is that by saying them and hearing them it somehow reinforces their validity as truth. It's all plainly bullsh#t as is our footy. To paraphrase a well known identity, DON'T SAY....DO

Slept like a lamb...Thanks Goody. Looking forward to Saturday So much better after a Good presser

In some fashion I can see that Coaches might ...but really ...they should command them. Just short sweet..that's it. I don't really understand why any player need front the media...I really don't.

Be happier if they all said absolutely nothing.

You didn't seem that fussy last time ???

I'm well aware.....he seems to have had good success...;) I'm not ageist.....I mean...I talk and share dim Sims with anyone

Not looking for a gig currently by chance ? ?

That's some very respectable lineage there my fellow Dee

You know.... following the ?mighty Dees? always reminds me of being Charlie Brown...when Lucy's holding the ball.

Aye....as we discussed

Phewwwwww....... that's alright then.... and here's me thinking we were in some sort of .....mire. Apparently all is well as he's still pretty positive about it all. we can all sleep well soundly now. ? man the lifeboats !!
