Gold Coast have got the goalkicking yips. They should be six goals in front. Don't see much evidence of a change in Geelong's game plan. They still chip it around and allow the opposition to flood their half of the ground.

I actually think his kicking could still do with some improvement.

That is the danger.

I think he expects to have 15 Gawns and 15 Petraccas, and a few Olivers thrown in.

Jeez, a bit early for all this discussion. We can't tell whether we've capitalised on our flag for another 3-5 years.

It's MFCCS ... Merlbourne Football Club Contract Syndrome.

We haven't reached "primo", "transcendent" or "supernal" yet. 😆

I'd also be looking at what life after football could bring. Earning less money in your football career but being a multiple premiership player at one club, maybe with a coaching career, might be more lucrative over your lifetime than earning more immediate money but with a lesser achievement. Of course, not all think longer term of life beyond football.

Disconnect between Champion Data and Twomey! CD Elite Ruckmen (Twomey's ranking) Naitanui (19) Grundy (50) Darcy (--) Hickey (--) CD not elite ruckmen Gawn (5)

Christian Salem still underrated.

Drop Foxtel and just get Kayo. ☺️

Oliver and Petracca are like having two Martins or two Bontempellis, or one of each.

It's funny being the same age as old people!

Gus can get back to golf. RM greens are back in play, albeit a little slow, 4 weeks after the "incident".

They went our very hard to begin with. After a four-day break, they were sure to find the going tough after half time.

I had to laugh when the media reported that one advantage of Optus stadium was a cup holder in every seat. I thought they only compared cars like that. 😆

Profligate waste of money and the world's resources, just 30 years after construction. Concrete production is the world's single biggest industrial cause of carbon pollution, responsible for 8% of global emissions.

Sure, knock your little MFCSS hearts out! 😁

So we've now got six pages of discussion about an article (in the same rag that has been attacking Simon Goodwin), with the same conjecture that we had last time before he signed (about going west, presumably because of his brothers). All based on some journalist's total speculation. Why worry about something that hasn't happened?

If Champion Data scored the merits of an apple tree, they'd measure the trunk, branches, leaves and the height, and ignore the quantity and volume of the fruit.

Yeah, like use of the term "hero". Even someone who runs a supermarket is a "local hero".

Stuff that! Sign him up for 7 years! 😁

Great work. If someone discovers you, don't forget to dial 117 and press the call button.

Yes, the banner image is 7488 x 1080 pixels with a file size of 7.06Mb. What's more it's a .png file which is much larger than a corresponding .jpg. Very few people use a screen size larger than 1920 x 1080 which is the standard HD television dimension. If they have a larger screen, they usually use a smaller window anyway. Loading it into Photoshop, reducing the size to 1920 pixels across and saving it as a jpg reduced the file size to 133K or about one-fiftieth of the size. There is still room for economy in image size for web usage, even with all the memory and speed we have available to us these days.
