Some fresh eyes and ideas certainly won't go astray

What was the issues with rules...and what was the clarification I wonder

My curiosity goes to two things. What exactly is the condition that ailed him requiring a procedure ( inclusive of a general )....and is he fully clear of this now ? Why didn't this receive attention sometime earlier than the week before round1 ? Edit...have these been answered here or elsewhere prior ? Something nqr about all of this.

It's not THAT we lost. It's that we effectively lost it before it started.

Hey diddle diddle that Jack in the middle the bull can't jump, just fall The others just laugh to play this sport and just run away with the ball

Nothing works....on something that doesn't exist

An instant fix for sports induced depression

You're correct. You don't know. Neither do I. I did however observe he was absolutely f'd at QTR time. Thanks Max...but..... Preuss held his own. Logic.. something lacking at Melbourne apparently... would suggest easing Max's load with our only other a grade ruck. Unfit..a no no ? ..oh Hello Jones..Hello Viney..hello Tmac ! A shout out to Trac also...sack of spuds FFS. We still aren't a smart club. Much pain ahead of this anything to gauge by.

Max won't be protected. If we won't do it...why would anyone else ?

How match fit exactly was Max days out from hospital having had a general ?

Commerce is in simple terms... business Football...a sport. The original ideals of sports was/is the antithesis of Commerce. Sport , ideally is competition of ability. Looking at the rules of the game I don't see money mentioned. Then there's now.

That's an understatement. The metrics that guide the arrogant imbeciles of the AFL have all but nothing to do with the real game, its integrity or spirit. It has everything to do with commerce. That of course is not what the game is about.

It's an utter travesty of common sense and understanding of the game that this numbat is in this job. Even worse he's validated by others at AFL house. Yet we all understand ... Why !!!

Possibly...wrong thread ? ?

But will they. Given known issues with certain players Given the condition of any players recovering from a procedural hospital stay ( including a general ) Given relative match fitness of some Given matchups known or ( intelligently ) presumed Given form going into the game you might have thought a better team sheet ..you might !! I wonder what they'll f up going into Kittyland.

Seriously...I'm a fossil but understand it. I'll translate for you. Even if things go adversely, if they go counter to hopeful expectations then that good chap Mr Lyon will stand by his fine recruit...irregardless

Doubt it

@Smokey Some might say the apologists are in overdrive

Goody obviously not overly impressed

Rule #1 don't believe/disregard any coach/f-d personnel Rule #2 when players speak.. apply rule 1

Well done Christian Well done Jack

Lurch would be impressed

We'd cruise past 70 I'm not against the notion 58 I just have my understanding of what it would require. We have a little momentum at present. If that falters 70...60...hell 50... becomes a pipe dream. Make at least the prelims this year. 50-55 possible in 2020 Money is hard come by . Too many pressing requirements grabbing it. The diehards are already members. It's the fence sitters who'll be the increase. They have real life demands.

People in shock.....are often quiet

This IS the crux. No team can afford slow starts now.
