  1. Tom maybe not so silly after all. Possibly the nudge from Roo's had him thinking. For all his faults he has a role there to play, for mine as #2 Back Should he stay I hope he's in good company Thanks Copuchas for the update
  2. the worm has turned someone should throw this right back in Eddie's face ( maybe after we win though )
  3. Buckley's reaction on hearing would be ...WTF !!!!!!!! F !!!! F !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( Magpie sounding very Crow ) Personally doubt they would risk him if was 50/50 arent we about being 100% good to go now. But ....the chance to mess with Bucks !!!! Gold
  4. I agree i think we've missed H more than some think. Hary does march to his own drum but the tempo he exhibited and spread he required were starting to come into our game. That would have got better as it meshed over the season. Weve now not had this eventuate; might not. The likes of his and Gus's predicaments are most unfortunate.
  5. I realise.. but theres sfa on the ground... and thats who he relies upon when there. What do they say about theory and practice. If the club thinks that this is the way...I worry. You allow saplings to grow by bracing them and protecting them....not letting them be open to all the forces that can come to bear. We need an experienced PLAYER out there holding down FB
  6. Bear with me, I'll get there.... Was watching NCIS last night ( little choice at that time ) but the theme , or under message , running through this episode was "trust your training " The point being as you learn the various counter manouvers and methods of fighting , as you experience the simulations and put it into practice you learn 'ways of dealing with things" This is the training. It is important I feel to note that the training whilst always trying to emulate the real thing is never the real thing and sometimes the simulation will throw up changes to unbalance you so youre forced to adapt, on your feet. Also the idea is that in training you can die, come back later and revise and redo. Now I know its only telly, I know its only US smutz but even these well trained combatants found themselves "dead" , not once but twice. Had it been truly real ( sic ) as it became later ( sorta ) they would have been of no use to anyone. This got me to thinking about the predicament ol' Oscar finds himself in, as I see it. Whilst you're always learning when playing footy it's anticipated that you will have arrived at a point where the 'training' is over and you are ready. Still learning but past the 'training stage" I dont think Oscar is. He's been thrust into the real world ( aka the deep end ) and really he's fending for himself with very few there to guide him and mentor on the field . I dont see how this does him nor the team much good. My issue is not so much with McDonald jnr as he'll only output what he can but with the wisdom of putting him into the line of fire under equipped. How can he trust his training is it's underdone. How can he accomplish his role if he's surrounded by some similarly raw. I think the club has improved dramatically over the last few years in it's development of players. The mantra was. no one comes in before time and we will give them that time. Seems to me the club's gone backwards all of a sudden. Again the bunny in question is Oscar and I think hes done probably well all things considered but in the context of the games and his contribution its found wanting because to this writer he's there too soon and too long If youre to trust your training you must at first finish it. The training for AFL is not the 1sts I dont blame Oscar, I think the FD are stuffing up.
  7. Funny you mention that .. In my HSC we volunteered to do extra Chem pracs in recess well....until they realised we were then doing "Esters and Alcohols " yummy banana essence ....yummmmm
  8. You're not paying attention H_T , He says there are no bananas....he's doing it tough !!
  9. Is the MOST important get for the off season imho
  10. or he can skidaddle off to a club less picky. GC probably desperate...have the cash. I trust the club to value Tmac exactly where he ought to be. Im not sure the club signs all the right people but they seem to get valuations close to right
  11. Jumbo. Chris has been a decent servant of this new club . Very soon his capacity to warrant selection will be usurped by another more capable . I neither disregard this effort nor his ceiling.
