Moony fcs...if you reap no interest nor enjoyment from the thread or more the point Essendons demise (and by extension any of it's cronies ) look away ...look away. Yawning not your gig

Id like to see an in form Jeffy play with Charlie.

Possibly...but one can hope

One week at a time.. Lets go for two in a row

He might be a bit more excited now

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

Why would he come

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

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.

Footy just isnt this hard surely

Koolaid....get your Koolaid !!

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

At first glance you could be tempted to think this but history and events suggest otherwise. BM had a decent list as it were. Indeed part of that what his doing. Also of his doing was a lot of disenchantment and a big falling out with particular parts of the club and indeed its capt. Things were going that swimmingly that he couldn't get his lads up to pinch the choccies and eventually the Kennel chucked him out. Bevo had the job of re-mastering the team and did so remarkably. Everyone there punched above their weight but proved unsustainable. Riding coattails is a furphy Kudos to Luke. He nursed his damaged goods into a very good team. Other coachs and teams have their measure now though. The pups pinched one and good on 'em. Wish we could.

Well...... I'll be circumspect and hope you're right. They play very differently though. Rance is all about mano a mano , Oscar ... I'm not sure how he'd be described in style...but not Rance like. I actually found myself saying ( against poos) thankgod for Oscar. This then brought to the surface a number of things. Firstly we we playing that badly that Oscar stood out ( as he wasn't ) and secondly, though similarly our defence structure and makeup is pox at present. I think ill describe Oscars game as meat and 3 veg. Its ok. He alone was ok down there with pig and lever having little influence. Oscar is still far from brilliant. Possibly he's now hindered because he's instructed to play a certain way. ( By the by...not the best way ..but thats coaching and not down to McDonald ) In my view he's stepped up from useless to somewhat adequate in a fashion. He was our best defender on the day. What a damning indictment !!

There's always that moment when you think...this thread couldn't get any stranger..... and then it does !!

Not just the club processing them ( which does , as anything take time ) it is also that , my understanding, it's not the club posting the info direct. All goes through 3rd party webmaster ( aiui) .

Nor I
