fmd ...Keystone Cops time "It is understood the delay was partly caused by the failure of an on-call officer to respond to an emergency message. Officers responding to the crisis were further held up, after being unable to locate firearms and body armour, the source said." (courtesy of The Aged ) Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy...and so safe

Been gone ... we all wearing the new stealth tracky dacks? Anything ... Ferris ...

It's interesting , often, reading other's views. When we're say discussing how an appraisal is accurate or relevant it is noteworthy to consider the tactical origin of play and any changes as primary metrics. In so doing i often think it's a trap to consider these as necessary correct i.e.the Coaches default is the true delineator , or ideal "zero" marker in the game. After all, one he has vestments in the whole shebang so how unbiased can the coach's view be ? Secondly, why assume the coach is right ? Our starts have been in the main diabolical. Then corrections, then improvement. This of itself tells a story and for mine gives sound warning about the what and therefores of review.

90 mins to take off a bloke already subdued. New World record...take a bow VicPol Makes nsw look keen

An excellent look at things. I must confess i temper my inclinations to give much weight to ANYTHING exiting the mouths of footy personas. They are now masters of spin ( some more than others. GOTO nailed it for mine. My first port of call: The scoreboard. I , simple as it might be, watch the game. I might watch a replay. Sometimes discuss with a son ( other has no interest ) I occasionally look at votes. I mainly remind myself that footy really isnt as complicated as the self interested industry would have us think. I relook at scoreboard

Police need a bit of a rethink me thinks ! Well done Chelly

Vexed question there might be two questions here: Have WE improved ? Has our fortunes improved ?

Bloody Nth Melb

Hated wearing one. And id agree that it can dramatically alter the ability for some to be coherent. Have no idea what i must have sounded like. Often at training i didn't wear one....much preferred i must admit.

Colin...in a way we should never forget it but be can do it 'quietly' Those involved... again stfu Not interested in any reinvention or subliminal agenda. They were dark days. A good man took one for the team...a team that quite frankly didnt deserve him.

Worked flat out !

That's not an inconsiderable number either, not by a long way.

in all fairness to anyone.....neither did he !!

What it was was a huge display of disrespect for the jumper. Quite frankly most of them ought have just hung it up ( the jumper) left the change rooms , left the ground..and just kept going. I suspect there's more than a healthy amount of reinvention in various recollections as to what happened and all the whiles someone is incapable of reply. If I was Brad Id just stfu.

How am i saying that ?

I'm not enamored with how we coach the starts to our game. I used to think it was just the players taking a qtr or two to get with it. Now I'm not so sure. We need a lot of revision in this regard. Better teams are out coaching us. Goody is a noob but he's got the reins. He's not brand new to this but needs to get with it. Hopefully he'll hone this area. He seems up for changes.

We were a 'boyz' club. A social venue for many over rated persons, at all levels living the dream. Our nightmare but a decent wicket for many.

The game always changes when we lower our eyes. Funny that

Dont wish the black dog on anyone. Hope he gets the help required.

The awards are over for the year

Ommmmmmmmmm

For me the real analogy going fwd: 9 coins flip Repeat. The permutations are quite numerous. We , in my estimation need at least 7 wins to remain in the race. That might just be possible. One slip .. all over red rover. A brave person puts money on us to play September. Good luck. It won't be me. I feel a lot better about 18 than i do 17.

I'd be happier if you could guarantee that Dr

I don't think it's doom and gloom at all. Yes weve played been unsettled down there. Were a bit unsettled everyw currently. To md the defence is close...but not quite there. For want of a bettet description lets call the missing man FB. We just dont have for mine a aviable one. Tom when supported plays the Half Back ok. Still has some issue but with Hibberd Hunt and Frost he's better. Jetta plays the Jetta role. Oscar and Frost for mine are the sharers of that role. The FB role i think is unfilled. Fill it.. we're a serious wall.

Oscar may or may not develop into a decent defender. Thats years off at best... currently he's just not that good and in deep defence is often the weakest link. That just is....it might be different in later 2018/2019 How many games do ppl want to lose ? Not because of Oscar but because we're playing underdeveloped types in various positions . Let them develop and FORCE their way in. Lets improve the list ,lets better our bottom ganeday 6. Lets plug gaps with quality rtr.
