the Hawks setup took the running early and they have controlled most of thre play IMO. I'm glad that Goody hasn't shown his hand YET. by making panic moves... I feel like we've started to adjust to the hawks setup and intensity. I think we can lift from here... but as Lew said, we have to get in harder & lower for the ball, and win the contests... bang more bodies D's.

that's good, fair enough.

I don't want to be disagreeable, but I really don't think Nev, or his family, would like this inference, Re lords, etc. Given what his peoples have been through. in the past 200+ years. Surely, surely we can think of another way with words more applicable, to show our appreciation to Nev Jetta, and his family.

Don't right him off as a forward just yet Mono. Self-belief & confidence do wonders for kids, and especially small Indig' kids. Lets let him grow and develop, then we will work out where he can play.

rubbish, that just your take on something your uncomfortable with. It's helping us, keeping our heads down and focused, and aware of the dangers of being self indulgent... everything has It's pros and its cons. Depending on how it is, the person wants to perceive of it.

I was at Hampton station years ago, going to footy, IIRC... when a kid had just sprayed-tagged the over railway walkover. A local collared him and wanted help to get him to the cops. The kid was alone, scared, and in daylight... not your typical habitual tagger. I gave the local a piece of my mind, for wanting to hurt a kid, instead of being tolerant and trying to understand his plight? I then told the kid what I thought, quietly to him... told him it wasn't what a strong person does, and told him to, 'get',,, quick. I reckon he might have thought again, after that experience... & so might have the local. Who could only think of his own outrage, and not of the kid (person), at all. .

I want his to stay. he has pace skills and agility but lack self belief. thats growing now in def3ence. To me, his ticket isn't ending, but is just beginning. Self belief is a maker or breaker and you cannot judge someones ability until after they felt that self belief. Only then can you see a true image of ability. He has, what we are short of. Keeper, for at least another year.

. The darkest Hour, is right before the Dawning. Ours was just prior to Roos's arrival. But there's another. Here is another dawning for us, right now... our new dawning of self-belief. Everyone knows that Dawn brings with it, the danger of Micro-Sleeps. Be rested Melbourne, and be Ready. Our road to the big-dance,,, starts THIS WEEK_ Keep your eyes on the road, & your hands upon the wheel. There is a 'feathered menace', between US, and our journey's destination. ! .

The bathwater angle is helping us, Murdoc... Harden up princess, the lack of star.tus keeps us on-track.

... so it was you Biff, and DC and his brains-trust,,, that got us up... well played sires.

The Hawks played poor last week, they don't do that 2 weeks in a row. We will have to be 'on' this week, to do any good.

parte` everyone... ac DC's,,, in Roctober, after the win. cheers, DC.

Some try to snort it in,,, only end up with bathwater on the brain... and that's a real concern.

And Jetta.

Our game is baste on winning contested ball, and pressuring the opposition, primarily. and then we move it forward when we have it, until we have to create a stoppage. And go again. Vanders seems a key, in this method.

So it's the No 23 thats the key. Its a big number for the Hawks. So at the 23rd minute mark, we should all turn our backs on the Hawks and do a Braveheart, and then give out a curdling Demon War-Cry. Guaranteed to take the hawks focus. ?

not you, 'lfR' ? de phantom of Oceans Grove. ?

Do you mean Sellwood is drooling over our Nev, 'b_nkd' ? such is his awe.

Was the poo perhaps, Magpie poo, Hawk poo, or Eagle poo 'Ggrt' ? Or just plain old flying-rat poo ? Obviously, couldn't have been Swan poo ? Or you may have been in trouble.

Yes, but he's been shat on ! Do you mean, he took the bad luck for us all ?

Yep. rest hibbo. ?

Is that right,,, wow. OK by me.

good luck.

Hey !
