Bookies seldom give away money

What effort was there last week Bing ?

The actual conundrum as I read it is as such : We're not going to be 'coherent' until the better, and fitter, 22 are playing. That might not truly occur for 5-6-7 who knows weeks. By then we've given away considerable advantage to many teams. its a bit like running the Stawell Gift as a backmarker. That in and of itself is not the problem. If you're good you will shine. However as anyone's position and success is dependent on others our success is not entirely our own to decide. Catch up footy....never goes too well. Pull your fingers out Dees

Not sure ...but I did get an email invitation to take up a Grand Final package !! ????

Sounds about right... unfortunately

I actually thought our game...chaos footy was more about ball movement, relentless pressure etc. Not.... possession as such. Just my thoughts

Good luck Kade...you finally got here.

Dunno. But there'd be offers...and I'd be listening. Other clubs are ruthless. Invariably the same ones winning Premierships. We just keep waiting for the ship to come in.

Oh I get it. We need DeGoey !!!

Hawthorn managed quite well in September

666 makes it harder ( not impossible ) to get numbers at the back to corral the opposition..Ie guard a zone. Now he who HAS the ball will win. Collingwood HAD. the ball...and won.

We often draw that line way too late. It's curious how some players have had eternity to come on. .and others derided. We are far from really being that astute MR. Wish we were. You're right though if you suggest it's put up or shut up for Mr Petracca

Team looks a bit better...hoping we play with something approaching interest. So far it's been somewhat lackluster . Not expecting any joy at Whiskasville. Geelong probably a 2 goal a QTR better side there. Am expecting a spirited fightback during junk time of the last QTR when game beyond doubt Cats by 40 Yes it's scathing. We have NO form going into this game at a venue eternally hostile. Loved to be proven wrong. Kudos to any when go down the highway. Go Dee's ( but not expecting much. maybe the noobs might inspire..)

So do I. But they command respect

Only half right Port crossed line several times. The AFL..ask...that's fine The limp effort of Dee players and any excuses by club...uh uh... very embarrassing

Yep... Wife getting lippy....??

Shame

May the Force , be with us

Agree on both But is it really doing anyone any real favours by playing Jack if not properly fit/recovered ? Just asking.

Might add a bit of that missing dash ?

On that one sentence alone you are hereafter dubbed King of the Koolaid. If you can't see injury played its hand...then you see nothing at all Nice pix though

Or could be a shot across the bow.....I.e.. a wake up to all and sundry...play, perform, put in...or push off !!

Yes and no Some were hobbling...some unable or not keen on running...or possibly watchful of pushing 'injuries'into relapse. I don't talk to players..or coaches... hardly ever. You see they are all conflicted and infected with footy-speak,much like yourself. Some, myself among, watch...take note...and look to that little thing called a scoreboard. It's far more truthful.

Might surprise you that I agree. No reason at all...but only if we play with that intent and intensity. Someone needs to flick the switch. I too want to see players banging down doors to play. Other things I like....marking....and goal kicking. Here's to 2019. Let's not die not knowing how it might go....with effort and effect.

Just maybe we've gotten ahead of ourselves...maybe. Maybe 2020 is more probable than 2019...maybe I have never really thought that either Jones or Lewis would hold up our cup....but they may well help those who do . That's footy.
