I agree Harmes was poor against the Dogs but it turns out he was concussed most of that game! Problem is the form of the other mid/forwards any of them would be stiff to be dropped.

I'm a big fan of Sparrow I think his aggressiveness and physicality around the contest allow guys like Oliver, Petracca, Viney, Langdon et al to surge the ball forward. Agree on Brayshaw also, would hate to see him moved from the midfield - I want him there for the rest of the year, gives us an extra weapon in there that has been missing.

Spaz isn't going anywhere 🤞🤣

Sub?

I feel like we should end up with a comfortable 5 goal win but not as confident as I was for last week's game. Cautiously optimistic.

In this instance it's probably preferable to a Demon in the living room 🤣

I gave up on footy classified a few years ago - unless there's some off field stuff going on which Caro is great at reporting on the rest is garbage.

If I was North I'd be going after him - tough to move across the country with a young family but for a couple of hundred thousand I'm sure he'd make it work

I wonder whether they actually have a formal background in psychology at all.

Edit - gifs in the same post for rpfc's benefit 😂

Yeah sleep deprivation etc - I doubt it was the same mob who ran the Crows one but I'm not certain.

It's strange that that is what you would take out of my comment. I said "if" you can go - obviously you are not in a circumstance which enables you to go. I know you'll be cheering us on on the tv though OD

The stuff alleged by Betts (namely raising issues of racial insensitivity and then being demoted from the leadership team) is similar to one of the allegations found against Collingwood in their Do Better report. "After Eddie McGuire called Adam Goodes ‘King Kong’, Lumumba spoke out about this and other experiences of racism at Collingwood. He also held an internal meeting addressing CFC culture, workplace rights and human rights. When some of the jokes continued, including from team leadership, Lumumba confronted coach Nathan Buckley. Media commentary was swift, and often implied that Lumumba was overly sensitive or mentally unstable. Lumumba was moved from the leadership group of Collingwood."

When they undertake "counselling" sessions and then break the confidentiality by using someones most personal thoughts and feelings against them in front of their teammates as a form of abusing them to teach them "resilience" I'd say that crosses the line. Absolute wankers who think they know what they're doing but have no idea.

Not only that you could argue it cost them the 2017 flag (and inflicted the Tigers dynasty on us).

Loved your comments on ANB @binmaniI couldn't agree more.

These are the games we live for as supporters. 2nd v 3rd. Prime time home game. Against an arch enemy. Let's pack the G in red and blue. If you don't you'll be sorry you missed it I guarantee.

They're not clubs, they're franchises.

Signed a 2 year extension to end of 2024.

It's one thing to know and not discuss it because you're playing to your audience and aiming for more easily digestible emotive discussion. It's another thing altogether to just dismiss it in the face of evidence. Why do they think club's pay and give so much control to the fitness staff and "phys edders"? There must be something in it ....

From memory there is a maximum width but not length - comes from the formative years of the sport when they used to play games in the paddock outside the MCG (often with giant trees in the middle of the field).

Both the Kangaroos and Dogs have looked at playing games at Geelong previously but the AFL wouldn't let them. Kangas also wanted to sell a home game to the Eagles (like we did to Brisbane in the early 2000s) and AFL said no.

What don't they believe? That club's do it? Or that it can impact players performance on gameday due to fatigue? Because reading the article by Cam Mooney posted earlier certainly refutes that.

Absolute fruitcakes who run this stuff. "Don't shower so you smell manly" 🤣🤣 [censored] nuffies, they sound like a bunch of incels.

Oh that was bloody brilliant, which game was that again? Was that the 100 point drubbing in Alice Springs?
