Very much the idea i was alluding to. Tis all very well to run around all day clocking up the miles....but it's irrelevant. Hitting up players...and the right ones at the right time is footy-gold. If Goody can somehow find the path to allowing good football players to play football ( not a too overly contrived style ) then we have a much brighter future. It's nigh on impossible to transplant footy 'smarts' .

Spargo is a Footy player. That is he has a football brain with nous and abilities to use it. So many in jumpers AREN'T. I wish the lad well and a long and prosperous career at Melbourne. Oh btw...suck shlt North

Pies looking good .. Must go wash mouth out now...

Aye ... great leadership ...make that Jones chap capt eh......oh....wait fmd....all going into shells !! except the untainted ones

All Class Essendon...all class !!!

Had i known Ernest ...

Normally this is a game eldest lad and I attend. He's a Bomber... Even he can't get interested.

I swear that things welded shut.

Two things...whom are you actually adressing ? Secondly i stated quite clearly..id rather he play..and play POORLY which is what he's been doing abd still likely to if OUT OF SORTS.

Strangely id rather Joe play...but poorly...than someone else. THEY might just a day out lol

Joe will come right up the ground if starved of supply. He does this. Also means Ess path to goal becomes weaker...showed up against Pies.

Yep...he won it for us...bless his hairy lip

Why would he come

The 2019 season might well start MANY months after this one's finished ?

It's possible Richmond fans are just worried about losing their clasp on the cup. We on the other hand are concerned about even being relevant. Richmond had the game won before the start. We had a Neanderthal approach that fell over as soon as thinking was required. Its probably only the diehard optimist that sees the glass as even half empty. On form it IS empty.

Keep in mind ...should we lose to Ess it starts to become playing more and more teams above. Annus Horribilus on the cards if no immediate correction .

Dunno... you're beating yourself rather well.

Really. You're an apologist for poor form. Im happy to discuss. YOU want to make snide remarks towards the postet. Its hardly disapproval is it. Some one disagreeing with your pet subject and YOU get all narky. The idea that age is the blame is ironically..ageist. Its in reality their education ( football ) and environment. But happy not to discuss. There are pros and and cons to youth. To trot it out as that old chestnut...' this is why we're rubbish ' Its more the quality of any abilities, both the student and the teacher. Id say our 'curirculim' and school far more the reason. ( Btw.. thats called discusion ) try it..

From the..im not using this as an excuse....but im using it as an excuse. Other sides with similar ages playing far better. Wonder why . Actually ..I dont. Our coaching, skills and plan is rubbish.

This is NOT why we're playing like shlt. The style and nature of instruction is.

Im calling the Bye a draw

Footy just isnt this hard surely

Probably not. Even then Hulk wouldn't have been playing high (by design ) as now.

Koolaid....get your Koolaid !!

You'd be mistaken if you think ppl haven't already.
