    Yep, it's a bit in between, imo. But we did really well with our lack of speed. We just got the press right, and the AFL in their wisdom, did what they always seem to do. F()c#@d us. The AFL and Mcc, seem to treat us like slaves, to their systems. Anyway we are still building, and pace and run, I am sure, will be front and centre for us now.

    Actually, 'Fe', it shows how good it is... That we got into the finals, with so little talent on the run-with-skills dept', both smalls and medium runners. Only Melk is a full-time player, in this size, and Hannan when he can get onto the park. Our inside ball winners have come back to the rest, a little, this year, IMO. Maxy not as good as 2018. atmo. So are we under-performing, this year... Or did we over-perform, last season ? Until found out ?

    Anb he's rested up, full of energy in his legs, and body. ?

    Give it time... there's still a couple of days.

    Jack Trengove... how many instances does anyone need ? Viney's plantar fascia. TMc's toe. Gawn being allowed to come back, too soon.... although this aided us, with St-Pedo... and TMc to the forwardline, via being 2nd ruck.

    I remember Tassie... from the goal square into, of just over the centre circle... when I was just a wee lad. Primary school days at the footy, with a younger friend... Both of us under 11 Yrs of age, at the footy, alone. Not these days. .

    The man was incredibly powerful thru his core... imo, from his genes. His family tree had generations of wood-choppers... tree felling, the hard way.

    ah, 'Dciv'... you beat me to it. ... the Old Drop Kick from the goal square.

    I hope he's practicing them, to perfect them in time. Maybe we could get a Torp kicking specialist in... to help our players develop this Kick. Can someone please tell me the new rule on kickins ? Where does the defender have to stand ? .

    And have our half forwards play really high, in the square... and our deep forwards play higher than normal. Want decent space over the back of our Tall forwards... and bring the mosquito's in. Hopefully, creating space behind our deep Key forwards (Preuss and Hunt, with Jeffy at the feet), and in front of them as well, which Hunt can lead into, & sometimes up to the centre. If the Half-Backs hang back, in the hole, we kick over them, using the space around the front of the square. This is where we need our longer kicks, & torp kickers, in the midfield... & sometimes Hunt can work in this area, as well. Wings and Half-Backs, who can 'Bang-a-Torp' on the run, would be very advantageous thru here, at times.

    The debate was on... some years ago, Pre Jnr's time in the Sun. I think Snr... and I always did think so. ... enjoy. some, old fashioned 'footy', and skills.
  13. I hope we go in with an 'attitude', to take the game on. Believe Dees. Be aggressive. Play aggressive.

    This sounds like he's had scans, and possibly had an arthroscope, to check inside ?

    Not just the 'PF', Bing. I think the club would have been well aware of or exposure in the ruck early in the season, or even going into last season. I think the AFL and the capitol system... plays us all well. If they give is all the answers... the system makes less profits... and less interest thru the week to sell data... and papers, and stories... and TV shows, and radio shows... so people are all hooked in, trying to find out the 'goss'
  16. I have a problem with some, 'using'.... authority over others, yes. Power, no problem... as we all have it (personal), apart from in law. This is where bullying comes into play.... Both with personal abuse, and also with lawful use of Power. Abuse often happens in this space, by authorities, and by big business. Power over things. - that's different, Politics, &/or in Business. Mining where these two meet, and exploitation occurs... and deceit reigns supreme. Arrogance in the AFL... not accepting the supporters as the top stake holders... and not having referendums on the game in a voting situation, about the laws of the game, and how things are decided upon. eg: price of a hotdog... transfer methods of players... scheduling, or biased fixturing... I could go on. ... arrogance is all about... and is out of control. But really at a personal level I cannot stand arrogant people, who see themselves as their s#1t odor don't linger.

    Yeah, i recall. I think your right, about the plating of collarbones, back then. Its about a two week turnaround these days. but I'm not sure in this case with the collarbone broken clean thru with tow breaks.? I guess it all depends on the mid section size of the broken part... how far apart the breaks are.?
  18. And he's running into fitness, like half the side is, atmo.
  19. DV8 replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    thank goodness for that... I think this will be a good thing for all. And for local TV as well. Here's hoping.
  20. DV8 replied to Chelly's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Nah, its about a 2 week'r... 2 - 3 weeks. Hibbo's apparently broke clean thru into 3 bits... so that might make it 3 weeks. 2 weeks would be fairly tough I reckon, with a couple of breaks in the collarbone... but its plated, so ????
  21. No, private schools don't bother me at all... no problem with them. My issue is with arrogance... and beliefs of superiority... that's seen mostly in males, and from mostly the Private School sector. Maybe its more the parents arrogant attitudes ? Than the Schools, but it is real... and it is witnessed in Western culture, worldwide.

    still unknown Aah, sorry 'c f'... I wasn't talking about Sam Weideman in that post... but about my Original perception... how I interpreted hearing of " femoroacetabular impingement", from the beginning.
  23. I was imagining trying to get the Large Building block, away from the street frontages as much as possible, for Local amenity reasons. Is there a chance you could give it another go... with the buildings around the Southern side of your original concept Image, but say move the Oval 25 Mtrs toward Punt Rd.? Don't change your orientation of the Oval, as it's almost the same as the Mcg. This would mean a Building block South-West of the Oval, around the Full-Back to Back-Pocket area of your Image... and also Built 'above' the AAMI Park car-park... & joined together with a 2nd building block, around the Southern Wing of your Image.? What do you think, Ding ? .

    This is a tiny bit different, to how I originally understood it, from years ago. (perceptions)... I imagined it was a born irregularity, but maybe part right, in that it could be hereditary, as in a propensity to develop the issue, later in life as an adult.? I imagined being born with a little spur on the Femoral head ball.
