Yep...its a different ball game.

Hes 4 to 5 years of footy .. thats a pretty dogmatic conclusion. I'd be disappointed to see a trade. Dont ( imho ) see it as necessary. But we can seevat seasons end.

Too many people buying into others metrics.

Certainly not a 5 min job to perfect. And the whole 'package' of how a good forward works is not a quick read.....but it's not War and Peace , nor Britannica ( apols to younger gens...lol ).. There's a distinct logic about where to be... you dont learn it rote...you either do or don't get it as much is the application of instictive understanding of opportunistic instances.. Yes a very convoluted way of saying.. position, space and timing. Some will never get it no matter how much teaching and training.... others...it's inherent... most....somewhere in between. Footy (sport ) is funny in a fashion....some who struggle with common tasks can play a ball like on a string. Theres such a thing as Footy Smarts ( nouse etc ) . Some can read the flight... some know where to be or how to get there...and have never been 'taught' I have no doubt Grundy gets it. His focus will now change. I'm happy to back him in. He's a skilled talented and very smart player.

Remind me how many Premierships he managed ?? Point being....what was he trying to coach ( re Grundy ) In the end...it's one opinion...

Dunno... all a bit of a raffle...

🤔🤔Shame.... such a shame..🤣🤣🤣

It is the most ridiculous presumption isn't it.. No such thing as swing players.. mids playing tall or small or both.. the whole notion of resting forward ..... high forwards all but playing as a winger.. you can go on and on where player A has added another arrow to his quiver, string to his bow etc. Tbh.. i think it's insulting, to say nothing of utter stupidity to suggest Brodie is limited in ability. ...in scope. He may or may not develop into a "star forward" ..but im sure he's fully capable of filling a role there and being far more that a back up ruck. Im looking forward to seeing what he can bring.

This is the way we stir the pot....stir the pot.. This is the way we stir the pot.....on a Sunday arvo........ What an absolute [censored]

H e didn't quite have Tulip's poise but certainly the dare, flair and endeavour. Thought it a brilliant passage.

Yep... playing the role Tmac does/did

No... not in 3 weeks... no... but he'll get better. He strikes me as someone with great aptitude and motivation to indeed learn what he can. He's still a backup for Max..... current and going forward. The Gawndy plan A hasn't manifestly succeeded in its current guise, perhaps the revised plan B will. Rucking and Forward craft are both about position and space....and timing. I think he'll come on quicker than many suspect.

Mr Leg... its Bwian !!! He was probably just confused !!!

Ive noted often if we are pressing up that Salem drifts forward into a link spot... Dont mind that but very mindful he ( Salem ) does his best work further back being the go to guy to bring it our of half back rebounding.( Jmo ) Id like to see more of what River's displayed...in breaking lines. Big future this lad. Im not thinking theyll tinker much with the current setup this week save bringing in Tomo ( hopefully ) .. a bit harsh on Smith in a fashion as he's done ok recently... but the backline with Tomo is better.

Ya couldn't amble over to Gosch's/Casey and give Staff a hand ?? I fear he knows Jack about forward footy ;) cheers

I may be reading it wrong but i got the impression whilst doing his 'apprenticeship' he'll play solely as a forward... When back on deck he play predominantly as a forward...but not solely.

I wish him all the luck going. Seems like a decent bloke with genuine intent.

Go Dees Bub out. Cya in 48 ;) Play nice all

Irrelevant

About where it ought to be...imho.. Amazed me prior. Not a lot in it... but understand their favouritism. We're underdogs... lets get 'em.

I can just see May moving around within the defence more... Possibly Petty to play on Joe as a shut down.. Nothing more than my thoughts..

You can see the development....very encouraging.

If we are to win this tonight...then the following: Max needs to turn back the clock. Give us first use ...Can he ? Kossie has to find that other side to his game...the one with dare and flair...his defensive game is fine....but thats not hurting the scoreboard...he needs to hurt Sparrow... needs one for the books... He's building... Trac...just be Trac.....but its the TWO big sticks....just sayin' Viney....just be Viney.... maul a Lion or two ( or three..or four ) May.....the force be with you.. Lever.....direct that force Ed....find that yard you've lost Hunter.....be just that.....hunt ! James...play it again...( like last week ) Woey...find your place...channel Dad ;) Benny Benny Benny..... make them kick it to you !! Fumbles Neal Bullen.....find the Alex........no dropsies tonight please Petty...wear Joe like a glove...he wont like it....cheers The likes of Angus, Rivers, McVee Bowey Spargo... tonight is NOT a night to cough up the pill...be dilligent Milky....tonight was made for the likes of you...let it rip RooBoy...you're back...have a night out ! Christian...make this a Salems lot (for felines ) oh...and the game starts at 7:50...not 8...ok !! Go Dees

I can if they get out the middle quick enough. Our defence works best when opposition is rebounding as they get a chance to set the wall and read the ball. That , imo, amounts to nought if they do to us what we used to do to others... bang out the middle...eyes low hit a lead up. Brisvegas are no slouches in this manner.

Those suggesting this may become a relatively high scoring game...I suspect you may be correct.. But this may not be a good thing...for us. I thought we'd need 12 goals against the saints... as had thought theyd kick a bit better.. We got there. I can easily see the Lions getting to 15/16 (more )goals tonight... so we must better that.. I'm just struggling to see where that emanates from. Yep..Trac had a night out last week...Dont count on the same... Fagan will set about a bit more attention to Christian.. I suppose any number of our lot could bob up and slot a few... the problem is for me I can't see them ALL doing that. Call me negative Nancy (or whatever is your fav ) ...but I just dont see us kicking more than about 10-11 goals and that for mine is about 5 or 6 short. All I can hope for is that that Hoodoo do its Voodoo that you do so well.... Go Dees
