The grand old Duke of York said it best: ”when you’re up, you’re up. When you’re down, you’re down. When you are only 1/2 way up you are neither up nor down”. long season, strange schedules. All teams will have mares, and look awful. hope we are setting ourselves for the next two….

Best thing? Not hearing either of their putrid theme songs.

Thank the demon for our defence. Kept the tiggers to 42 points when we couldn’t hit a target to save ourselves. Our game really starts and finishes here. questions for the podcast: was that the worst half of football you have seen us play since the ‘dark days’? how did you see Petty’s game? was that fatigue driven? (Not goody’s presser answer re long breaks) thanks again!

If you flush the first half, the second half involved more of the usual suspects playing the way they should have. Petty is an interesting watch, so inaccurate in front of goal. BBB looked like he couldn’t kick over a jam tin at Casey. TMac was an absolute disaster in the first half, but turned it around in the 2nd. Goody said in his presser we were using the longer breaks for increased training (the dreaded “L” word!). For the cats game, we need to be cleaner going forward and continue to be absolute misers down back. Will be a real litmus test for us…

Day release from prison is easier one day of a week than 2 for those Richmond supporters

Is the game on Kayo, or just the crappy afl app?

Turner offers us flexibility forward and back, as does Petty and even TMAC. Also there could be a weather dependence on who gets a run - Laurie .woey if wet, Disco if dry.

Currently watching the EDFL standard Roos v Hawks…

Damnit!! Typhus it is…

Who do i want to win? Like choosing between getting cholera and typhoid.

So if we have been developing a red and blue-print, would the team like to consider the blue and red-print? (that is, is there a blueprint for how to beat the Dees based upon what you have seen so far)? Was the loss situational, or systematic? What do we need to do to overcome these losses becoming more common?

The numbers tell the tale. Killed in clearance leading to massive time in forward half discrepancy. Shark inside to outside to i 50 kick and repeat. Lack of pressure, tackles and chase, no groundball skills. So many players off the boil. Needs to be addressed before it sets the ‘how to beat the demons’ blueprint. Also, was that the worst umpiring you have seen in a long time???

I reckon we ran out of petrol off a 5 day break. Did enough to win, then shut it down. I’ll take the 8 points and roll on.

‘Feeding the chooks’ is also a euphemism for what teenage boys when they are left home alone….

The pies looked linke they go the rub of the green with the frees, but at least they put some effort in. Lions were slow, stationary and putrid.
