In wet weather conditions there ought never be a link of more than 2 handball...ideally just one...to a moving player or one in the clear... then a kick.. wash/spin/repeat. Keep ball moving.

Got Buckleys... interesting ideas though 😉

This morning I'm attending a market with my lovely wife. It happens to be in Caulfield....actually, at the Racecourse.... to be specific...in the middle. Quite expansive... gee...make a good spot for a sports training establishment... If Melbourne dont grab this...we're truly stupid.

Just by way of curiosity....anyone have knowledge of how this field plays after so much rain ? You might presume it drains quickly ....does it ?

Possibly. Never going to be dropped for THIS game though

Latest ,via the bush telegraph is a certain well known recluse and shiraz gurgler's transport had become mired . It's rumoured he, staff in waiting ( esp the '[censored]') have transferred to Camels and set off for the Centre.. Adorned with his classicly styled sun hat he was reported to be pretty pithed.

Ricky ? Related to Jake ? 🤔🤔🤷🤷

He , BBB, might prove to be this year's Talisman . I wonder 🤔🤔 if they've earmarked him for round 17 😉

A great read.... both parts 🤣🤣🤣 Again intrigues me we know what can be done in the forward arc, train for it and then goes missing in games. Speaking of missing.... the manuscript... find it ???

Fascinating

Fmd... we have no forward line. That infers construct. We DO have 6 players often named as such. Matters not. There's no distinguishable forward craft. Some compare our front to Collingwood..or anyone. My god get a grip... they have purpose. If anyone cares to defend/argue the point...please, and i dont mind, describe our forward game...its methods...use of players etc. Happy to be educated

This is Geelong......anything it needs... a way is found. Spanning Moorabool rd is easy... essentially the State gov controls space above the road. Railways are very different. Austrac controls the permanent way...

Actually... not really... if your going to widen it and redo the stands on that wing...its just another form of support. Wasnt super difficult to straddle Brunton Ave. Its more about the will to do it.

Easy enough to build out over the road. There's just no excuse.

I think you're right on the money, in many respects. The one size fits all nature of tge "fitness" debate simply ignores the Football problems. Our forward game reminds me of schoolyard kick to kick. I just don't see any real methodologies in situ. Pockets are where you try to drive your opposition when THEY have the ball in your attacking arc. They are a last resort ( for sensible footy ) but they seem our preference. I was fascinated to hear ( truly ) that some forward leading drills were happening at training. Are they then directed like a jury to disregard all that learning come game day. It bloody looks that way . Why do our forwards crowd each other...or worse . ..interfere with each others attempts to mark. Some folk retort...oh...but ... we're 4th and good %. That ignores the trend. Most of that % was banked earlier and its been slowly eroded.

Hardly.. We'd more likely extend Goody's contract instead......

Who'd da thunk such things..... The opposition apparently..

The Age...are aged.. Kozzie far from the best....unless Cameo is a voting category

Biceps in legs....learn something every day

In some 3rd person ,parallel universal perspective.... Kozzie IS a very goid crumber. He has bizarre and tra capabilities to read and cajole the ball. These things are all 2nd nature to him. So why is he underperforming ( by his own created standards ) ??? It'd a question not only worthy of answering...but necessary to fix....otherwise a squandered talent. Has he been.. "melbourned" ... i hope not.

Must have had a hard life.....

Time...and timely to evolve ??

Zak got 5 votes from both coaches. Man of the match. We need to make better decisions. Viney to him might have worked but Jacks efforts are more valuable..imho.. possibly what the box thought.. who knows. Id have sent some Terrier with a tank.to just wear him as best as can.... just niggle him.. even Spargo could do that. Anyway...my point was we cant rely on our game alone. All well and good to back in.our blokes....need to lift eyes and accommodate theirs too ...at times.. jmo.

No its not... not ar all. Not conversant with the goings of the Port Game ? A certain adversarial player was opening us up. So much so even our brains ( sic) trust gave consideration to him. Then decided to leave him alone. That is nor my summary..that's on record ( somewhere) The man who allowed Butters free reign... Simon Goodwin. In life you can only control ( affect ) the things you can. Here he [censored]'d up. He clearly didnt give due respect to the player. Others have . You might disagree... your prerogative.

Really.. short memory ?
