  1. I thought the idea was for him to go forward!
  2. Free agency = compo. May add to points we can put together to push picks up the list to target his replacement?

    If he wasnā€™t ex filth there would be less interest. These one hit pieces are ckickbait for the filth fans who want to believe that getting rid of him was a good move. So woe is the MFC, and they are treating the old beloved son poorly. not once have I heard a gripe from Grundy on any of this. Not once have I heard any negativity from the club. Brody is a very intelligent dude. Iā€™m sure he has had the conversation with club and knows exactly where he is at.
  4. All you have is two a$$esā€¦
  5. ā€œHello pick 4 my old friend may even be pick 3 in the endā€¦..ā€
  6. Felt we played behind in q2 and 3. Once we got in front and attacked contests the tide turned againā€¦.
  7. True, it was regā€™s lack of defensive nous that made this a problemā€¦.
  8. This is the best ride at the fair. Hoping for pick 4, happy with pick 5. Go you good things!
  9. Wach Fagan bring in Darcy Fort, to stretch us like last time/and like the bombers did.
  10. Are there also female World Cup considerations from about now????
  11. We played a strong defensive unit and managed to win. interested in your thoughts on the style change this week- it looked like we started with manic running and handball. Saints broke this down and we began to shift tempo using more kicks and control. Is this part of us practicing for finals? max and reg (Grundy)? Are we getting enough out of this? i think Schache comes in this week. cheers, gents. Look forward to the poddy as usual.
  12. My view from at the ground - i might need to watch the replay to see what the couch peloton saw - was a tough game against a defensive focused team. The saints always were positioning themselves defensively of the contest to outnumber any ball movement opportunities. Marshall smashed our rucks = i have to ask, whatā€™s up with Max? Hardly holds a mark and is rarely threatening. He marks and we look so much better. Really worry that the whole ā€˜tap brosā€™ is not paying dividends yet. May was outstanding. The backline held up well. The saints started with incredible pressure and it took us 1/2 the first quarter to adjust to this. It looked like we were really trying to take the game on rather than control the tempo, and many times it just did not come off. More experiments perhaps? Nibbler v good early. Kosi - not a shadow on his normal self Trac - mainly forward tonight, which meant it was Viney and the kids vs the Saints midfield. JJ did really well, and I think Woey Jnr did enough to hold his spot. Shame about the goal missā€¦ BBB - very busy and added value to the team. Melk did OK, might make way for JVR?? We took the 4 points in a tough encounter. I will watch the TV replay and see what I missed. A good result after the tou8gh slog of the last 4 weeks. go Dees!

    After the game Leppitsch spoke about the fatigue of the players being a big part of the last quarter fade out. @binman, I think this supports your oft-maligned theory that teams Load during the mid part of the year. He also spoke about th e8 day break in front of them allowing them to freshen up. BTW - Leppitsch looks like a cartoon character, maybe from that Disney elemental movieā€¦
  14. Interesting in the video reveal of Tajā€™s debut, OOze is showing footage and asking ā€˜could you make that kickā€™? Interesting because perhaps they are looking at how they move the ball inside 50, and that accurate kicks are going to be the order of the day (to leading players). Or is that too much to hope for?
  15. WIll be interesting to see our f50 set up. Petty can swing there. jack or Trac could also set up there. Woey to play high half forward and to act as second winger. Think we are a 25% better talent pool than them, especially with their outs. Need to smash them early and ensure both teams get the script. Proper kicking - 35 point win, Shizen kicking - 4 point win.

    I just switched over and my first visceral reaction was how much I dislike this individual.
  17. A couple of notches? More like through the roofā€¦. The sky is falling territory
  18. Woewodin, Charlie McSpargo and jimmy Oā€™Jordan. Melk hold his place. A forward line that didnt work in ā€˜21, why nowā€¦.??
  19. What do you call a team that looks really promising and delivers manure? Either the Saints or the Demons. This could be a comedy classicā€¦.
  20. An accurate description of the day. We would always be entering a completely clogged arc because the ball would be turned over no further than the wing (rarely further forward for them). Perhaps we need to add a dimension to this aspect of our game = switch, draw them out? Kicking to massive contests means the shot is under pressure - consider if Trac had no pressure and more time. Whether we were rushed, or just rushed, didnā€™t matter. That crowded f50 means that our good work to get the turnover is unrewarded.
  21. Thanks and happy trails. hopefully the Dees can get things in order next week and give us some sunshine.
  22. Honestly, that was disgusting. we won almost every stat but could nā€™t win the game. inside our f50 is a disaster. Play in FRONT. Lead at the kicker! just pathetic. I have given them so much positive reflection even in losses. But not today, simply not good enough. Pass marks to Viney, May, lever ANB. Brown did. well early. max is the barometer of the team. If he plays well, we do ok. pickett needs to stop being a sheepdog and return to being a German shepherd. twice we played in front in the 50, Melk and kossy marked and foaled. Every other attempt we were behind, outnumbered and beaten. We are a rabble and we will make up the numbers unless we get some deep cultural and structural issues sorted. sheesh.

    As hilarious as ours?

    Offer a pack of chips and an 80ā€™s mix tape.
  25. Last year,as I recall, Paddy Oā€™Dangerfield was injured, then kept out of the competition for a few weeks doing a mini preseason to get in him in outstanding form for the later rounds. This seems to be where Clarry is headed - hitting fitness and speed targets (assume KMs as well) to then come back in Cherry Ripe. If it was round 20, I reckon he would be coming back in at 80% and play into the finals. We are doing OK (I think top 4 isnā€™t too bad, is it?) so knowing we can build Oliver into his very best form and fitness is really a luxury. Her has no chance at any individual honours being out for so long, so what is a few extra weeks to him???
