Hunters or Hunted
Was involved with an Australian swimming squad camp 20 years ago and had the pleasure of listening to a talk from the USA swimming head coach - he talked about the Wolf and the Deer. In the 90s Australian swimming was the wolf chasing the USA Deer out in front. There was a period from then when we were the number 1 team but didn't know it - we swapped places and became the deer but were still hungry and still chased everything hard - before finally accepting our position as the best swimming team. Then the Us team got hungry and acted like wolf and to gett their position back - they hated the Michael Klim smashing them like guitars comments.... Was a fascinating psyche insight at the time. Over to the Dee's now - we're better off as the wolf than the Deer - we need to hunt and not be the show ponies out in front. Even if we're on top of the ladder and everyone's working on undoing us - we need to work harder to hunt them first

POSTGAME: Rd 15 vs Brisbane
Thursday footy completely sucks. It's now Saturday late morning and I am completely bored and at a loss for what do with the weekend. What do non footbally people do on winter Saturdays????

In Season - Loading/Periodisation: Put your conjecture here.
Mentioned at the start of Goodies post game Presser. "We've had a hard 3-4 weeks on the track" I think we have the proof that loading has been at least partly to blame for the pre bye slump

NON-MFC: Round 13, 2022
Really wish our football club celebrated our 150th properly, and put on a show like this back in 08. Unfortunately our admin had no spine, about as equal as our team then. Should have been a celebration of the oldest football club in the world regardless of the onfield results at the time

Not sure what to make of this RP. If he was a BP or HFF he should play for Sydney??? Seems odd

Chandler Tackle
Personally I think both are about right Chandler pinned the arms and tackled him head first into the ground. Crazy dangerous despite a lack of intent. By pinning the arms he has a duty of care to make sure the opponents head doesn't whack into the ground. Imagine the uproar here if it was the other way around and our bloke got ko'd or your son - would not be happy one bit. Liam Ryan only takes 1-2 steps into the bump. It was certainly an intentional bump with bowzas head down. However ther really isn't much force in it and bowey isn't injured. Clumsy bumps happen regularly - he's lucky that he didn't generate more force into the bump and didn't connect. End result is a high contact low force knock - 1-2 weeks for mine - he got the lower end. I'm strangely OK with it

What They Are Saying at Arden Street
Would take bbb at those odds in a heart beat… he only needs to kick 2 goals 🤣🤣

Welcome to Demonland: Jacob Van Rooyen
If there was ever a soft debut slot for him it’s this week I say get him in. If as everyone says once he’s in it’s going to be hard to get him back out - that’s beautiful - all for making our team better not a fan of this let him ‘develop’in the 2s. he’s physically ready, playing well. Should be playing in the top tier to develop against proper backmen no point in waiting for a slot that may not appear… Jakovich had to kick 60 something goals in 8 weeks as we had Darren Bennett going well at senior level… we were immediately better with him in. No point in a physically ready gun in waiting to be playing 2s its very different to throwing jack watts to wolves on QBD

MFC Rebranding for Indigenous Round
OK I've changed my tune. Seeing the jumper next to the north one I like it. Doesn't look as busy as I originally thought. Maybe cos the north one is really intricately patterned... but anyway I like it

Way way better than sex. Was there. The relief. The release of all that pent up pain and suffering. The 3 minute burst live - left 60,000 people in that stands absolutely gobsmacked and into party time. @skuit I may be doing it wrong as well but this was 46 years of suffering being released - and it took the same time as sex ( under 3 minutes 😉🤣🤣🤣)
