I’m usually a bit of an optimist, but no, they have not been trying at all. They have been lazy, giving them acres of room, applying little to no pressure, constantly being caught flat footed, fumbling the ball, etc etc etc.

I think it’s brilliant. They’re playing a psychological game where they unsettle their opponents by giving them so much free space to run around in; it’s the old if something is too good to be true, then it probably is.

Lazy lazy football!

Ok, I got it wrong (I obviously haven’t done my research)… glad you get a kick out of ridiculing me for it. Give yourself a pat on the back.

I’d prefer they lure Brad Green across from wherever he is currently employed (Pies?).

I like Kolt’s style… he’s like a shrinky dink (remember those?) version of Ben Brown!

Not if we want the opportunity to put the final nail in Collingwouldn’t’s season 2024 coffin!

Beautifully written… you put the media pundits on AFL.com to shame!

Even more impressive was when they got around Pickett who was obviously feeling out of sorts and slightly embarrassed about his performance in the first three quarters.

Ben Brown’s own ‘Mini Me’.

Pickett has been the laziest player on the ground today… just jogging around, applying pretty much zero pressure… thankfully one of the only times he did apply a little pressure and got his only possession, resulted in a goal assist. I’m loving Turner’s game, Hore is showing a bit down back, Rivers managed to get himself somewhat back on track after a horrendous first quarter, Salem has been mostly good, but I have to wonder what has gone wrong with his kicking game. I’m not McVee is ready for a move to the midfield yet, having had only four possessions. Here’s hoping McVee, Fritsch and Puckett can get themselves more involved in the second half.

Fixed it for you.

He ‘injected’ a bit of life into his music!

Hah! Where I am in Dulwich Hill, cockies and rats aren’t such an issue… maybe the terrific bush turkeys that live in my street, scare them away.

Do you even understand what “how she carries herself” means… it’s a reference to your “red dress” comment. I think it might be you that has the comprehension issue.

You love Pickett Fence??😵‍💫😱 I know he put out some entertaining training reports, but it’s probably a good idea to draw the line somewhere!

RUOK? Where did I say anything that even slightly alludes to what you said?? I’m basically saying that how she dresses at any function has absolutely no relationship to how she might or might not perform her duties at the Dees. I was saying that you did not need to make mention of that… just discuss the actual topic which is about her performance at the club. I’m not saying anything is ok. I know there are obviously issues at the club that MUST be addressed, but I’m not engaging in hyperbole that is based on rumours (everyone hating each other etc).

Then that’s all that needs to be mentioned. Judging her on how she carries herself, is irrelevant.

The Japanese have a great expression “Deru kugi wa utareru” that translates as “The nail that sticks out, gets hammered down”. It’s probably best to judge her on her actual ability.

So maybe it’s Morris who, like many of us, is frustrated with the direction the club has been taking, and is using his position in the media to invent a scenario, using Trac as his ‘foil’, in an effort to get them to do something.

He’d be going cheap.

Yeah, I missed that, but did hear about it. He looks like a twig, but stands up to opponents like a Goliath! He’s going to be something really special… now, if only we could somehow lure him to the Dees!

That didn’t actually worry me… what I loved was the fact that he’d just been roughed up by a couple of Essendung players a minute before, and got to rub their faces in it, and he got to give the crowd a big “Shhhhhhhhh!!”. Pure gold!!

Not mistakes… it was a complete lack of effort in the last minute or so, that allowed Port to kick it amongst themselves, when we should have been pressuring them! I suggest people take a look at the last minute of the Suns v Essendon match.

Just a couple of observations… how is it possible that Port could have a louder crowd than the Dees, and secondly, in the closing minute of the game, how could we just stand back and let them time waste, without even attempting to push up on them?? I just caught the end of the Suns v Essendon game, and it was night vs day..they attacked and attacked right up until the last second (almost literally) and got the chocolates!!
