  1. Need some better kicks and intelligenceup field. Shame Salem has been well below par since 2021. In Van Rooyen, Fritsch, Petty we have all the pieces to the forward puzzle.

    Isn’t it lovely to see a big Melbourne club get pantsed down at kardinia park
  3. More TV shows about footy then actual footy games to watch, take it with a grain of salt
  4. Pies lost to the Lions in Qld, but i agree with your sentiment that it was a good win against the suns
  5. How do I know when training is scheduled?
  6. How do i find out when and where training is on?

    Hunt always had a real crack, and seemed like a great clubman. He never quite seemed to recapture the form he showed before getting knocked out in a crows game. Good luck to him. His footy was definitely better than his drawing though 😂:
  8. For the last few years all you heard out of Geetroit has been whinging, to their credit, that has stopped this year. Geez I hope they lose on the weekend though.
  9. haha how good was he in 2002!
  10. Cerra wanted to come last year, we didn't have the cap space/picks to get the deal done. I think we are doing ok.
  11. In addition to this, I thought Friday's final was VERY poorly attended by Swans fans 🤣 https://www.roymorgan.com/findings/9029-afl-supporter-ladder-april-2022-202207260047
  12. I've read up to the start of the Daniher era. Wonderful book. Some nice anecdotes that I haven't heard of either.
  13. We are dying a death of 1000 cuts this year. The little things that went for us last year, are going against us this year. - Injury - Covid - Unstable side - Steven May incident - Loading Fatigue - General Fatigue - Being the hunted

    Only the best memories of Sean Wight. He is remembered at the Heritage Golf club with this plaque for an albatross!

    I bought GA tickets to Geelong vs Melb here a few weeks ago from this link https://www.ticketmaster.com.au/geelong-cats-v-melbourne-south-geelong-07-07-2022/event/25005C72B8A92739
  16. @binmanDees were excellent tonight, but I also thought we were on the end of "reverse loading". ie Brisbane might be going through their own high intensity training. Brisbane barely got out of a walk after half time and were absolutely cooked - we should have won by 100+ points. I wonder if we tapered off for the last week or so given we had lost 3 in a row, had lots of key injuries and external issues (ie May). Goodwin and Yze definitely used the words "refresh" in the media this week. The result suggests we did. If we did taper off, what affect does that have on us down the track? The return game will be very interesting.
  17. Well you could be right, last season was a very long one, and while we breezed through our finals, by all reports we trained HARD in those six weeks in Adelaide/Perth. We could just be out of puff. Time will tell. The effect of having an unsettled side is underestimated. The ins/outs this year is no comparison to last year. It's quite extraordinary that we got to 10-0.
  18. Yup trying to conserve full stop. At the ground it's very obvious in the last 3 games that we have been running on the spot in the second half. And it triggers a knock on that affects everything we are trying do. Petracca has looked gassed for a while, he must be carrying something, last year no one could stop him with a tackle, he's getting caught all the time now. An interesting month ahead.
  19. @binman A perfect storm of loading, an unsettled side and punch ons in french restaurants has appeared to beleaguer the club. Did you notice in the third quarter we seemed to really want to ice the clock (short passes)? I also noticed that Gawn was warming up on the bench toward the end of the third term, but then as we managed to hold the pies at that point he went back to sitting on the bench. Would it be a fair observation to say that we were trying to hold Collingwood in that 3rd quarter for a last roll of the dice in the last? Loading, loading, loading. We have a hard run home, hopefully this calculated program pays off
  20. If anyone watched the Amazon Series "making their mark" Leon Cameron came out of that looking like a fairly man manager to be honest. I'm not surprised the giants haven't done better.
  21. It's still hard to believe what I am reading!
  22. Yep, it's over. A new chapter to be written.
  23. Well I guess WatchAFL would be cheaper and it's basically Foxfooty on demand. I definitely watched it using a VPN (set to a USA location) from Australia last year - no idea about this year. Also used it from overseas for years prior to 2020.
  24. Yes it can. (as of 2020, they might have cracked down recently), but if you're in Oz you might as well get Kayo
