Too late as a start....

Yes....saw that before too. It's only interesting...and not indicative ( as such ) Bookies have got us wrong a few times this year lol. But the trend is a curiosity.

As with any group.. you have the noobs... the experienced ones, the more senior ones....etc Pay scales accordingly... like any organisation. But organise, train and pay them properly. Make the game better ... i.e less ambiguous and subjective rules.. Make it easier to umpire and to facilitate their abilities and accountability. Its a dogs breakfast currently....fair to no one.

Picket to make "friends" with Daicos ??

As is ours.....

May i suggest making him VERY uncomfortable ;)

Absolutely. Scenario for moi Game ends. 15/20 mins to get on Richmond Station. Maybe 5-15 mins for train 45mins on train 5mins walk to car 45/50 min drive home. It's a very late night.

Oh..btw.... can we get someone to babysit Daicos. Harmesy would have been the obvious choice.... alas. Quiten Daicos and maintain the "Wall" down back. We can win. Wouldn't hurt for wayward Bailey and cameo Kozzie to buck up and fire either. Have a great day Brodie ;) Your chance to shine for a team that actually wants you

I suspect he's not 100% ...not even 90% of his required fitness. I also suspect this is injury related and is hampering him from fully committing to contests. I.e he cant play to the level he wants to/ needs to. He's never struck me as a lazy or unmotivated player. I'm sensing his career is now crueled.

It's an accurate assessment. Any bunch of idiots with half a brain would realise this and correct it. Luckily for us we have sunch a bunch of idiots at Melbourne.. so all will be right ..🤔🤔🤷🤷

Umpiring needs to be professional. Simple as that. Every possible aspect of discussion revolves around or emanates from it not being so currently. Beggars belief that it isn't.

And it's not his first game ;)

We only get to play who turns up. So who ever it is...we better TURN UP. Just need a win.

Might reserve my thinking til ...well... after our next game. All will be revealed then I'm thinking. Ironically the game is often mocked as a psuedo Grand Final. It wont be.... a Grand Final Test ? Perhaps. Ought to be a humdinger

The Royal Weekend's Game will be won by the better defence. Who ever is selected, or not, needs to be part of a 'one minded' seemless team effort down there. We've no discernable or obvious plan of attack ( other than Hail Mary be thy name) but we can possibly cobble up something to get the leather thing through the sticks. We simply need to thwart any ability of the Pies to get creative. In that vein i dont mind loading it with May, Lever, Hibberd, Salem, throw in Tommo , Rivers McVee

Have we not learnt about debuting noobs on the Royal Weekend ;)

Be better though if he did do ...not nearly did

Kiss of death ??? 🤔🤷🤷

Got to give the coach his due.. So do they keep the gig with Dew ?? He derserves it.

Thats the ideal and proper action. Remove said transgressor from field... the team can deal with it as best able.

Yes... you suggest the 2 thoughts are incompatible ?? You do realise hes judged against others...in other games of THIS round ?? You get that i assume. I thought he played well the other night... i can also extend my thinking that someone else might play a blinder more akin to whatever the ajudicators deems a R.S performance. None of this need be incongruent. I can see the elements of JVR which will have above many of his compatriots in years to come. None of this is hard to understand. Try again perhaps....

This might come across ti some as a bit , well, ridiculous but some fwds, even some very good ones are kinda like 1-to- 2 trick ponies. By this i mean they do one or two things quite/very well and thats it. You will and would always have them for those very qualities/ abilities. And then there's kids like Roo. They're different, very different. He's a thinker. They're not as common as some might suggest. Lot's can play, not all can think. Every game is developing that footy mind. A couple more preseasons... He'll be almost impossible to play on.

I think you over rate us.. thank you. Im not denigrating their efforts... but rising star ( on the night ).. seriously doubt it. I thought Rooseys effort against the Bloods might have raised an eyebrow... seems not. They were both good last night.. exceptional 🤷🤷

What universe are we in 🤷🤷🤷

No Rome wasnt built in a day....burnt in one though When does anyone suppose we use use as a start-built date then ??
