Yep was pizzed off...and perplexed, as are we all i think.

Or to advantage ? Circle work then giving it to opponent probably doesn't help the positive ebb of our game

Without trying to be flippant I honestly believe the vast majority of stats are a nonsense. Disposals etc. You rightly call the true litmus ... "To advantage" Some will disagree.

A better definition of 'winning' a clearance would my first port of call.

Remember listening on the trannie as watched the Dees and Lions (fitz) at the junction. Can't quite remember actual scores but let's say M 3.5.23 F 3.5.23 Lou.... "One more goal each and scores will be level !!" An entertainer was Lou

A soft spot for that bit of 'filth' He transcended the realm of Victoria Park and did many a decent thing over his journey. Quite a bit of charity work i recall. A good bloke. RIP

Hodge is old school arzhole for sure. I have other names for him also..

Nailed it. ( Sadly )

There are jets around . 737 size ( long hall) enough for the team, all staff and selected 'premium' paying coterie. Really wouldn't have seen this as hard with lead time avail.

See post 105 above That's cheery

Surprised they haven't chartered a flight.

Im a little past anyone spending time in the firsts simply to learn. Hone a craft find. Learn it in the magoos. The better teams do that. Weed may be a good fwd...around the 2019 season.

Think this ring bells. Still see it with us where leads etc aren't honoured. Some strange passages at times suggest this trust issue might be a reality.

Really need sarcasm font !

Thats not us though That's what teams DO to us

God help us...oh wait.... he's not The Macs are a worry. Need to find another's menu

He was actually drafted as one iirc

observation of the year !!

snooze..... you lose !!

conversely...he couldnt be any worse than those in at present

The biggest problem as I see it for the club is to eradicate this idea ( whether real or perceived ) that just getting to A, or B, or wherever on the ladder of building is where acceptance stops. Everywhere is just a marker on the journey to getting there..and "there" is a Premiership....not just winning a game, not even winning a few games , nor winning a few games on the trot, Not making finals, not even winning finals. Its winning the BIG game and then doing it AGAIN. Then and ONLY then have you arrived ( in any fashion ) Watching our lot continually reminds me of folk who have got to a particular point and take a 5 min break.. Only to see those behind not take a break and go past..repeat...repeat. The coaching department needs to seriously reprogram these young minds

Missed nothing..I think youre missing the bigger point Ernest. We're not going to plan. We're shizen. No good making excuses my friend

that bit of time is about two years...just saying a la a Hawthorn type apprenticeship...then hes ready to start learning with the big boys. Then he may well prove useful. if youre not useful you shouldnt be lining up in the firsts....probably extends to quite a few really

oh sorry Ernest we're doing just brilliantly...

A word comes to mind, POISE We had none.... frantically playing pass the parcel til we cough up. They took ball much cleaner, handballed less but to a player moving the right way. They moved purposefully and better setups. We handballed into corners. Theys seemed to better 'balanced' we were calamatous. Is that just experience ? Or gameplan ?
