At least watchers won’t fall asleep

Perhaps the AFL should add the wall of sound one hears in big international soccer games. Like the constant drone and blaring trumpets and other noisome instruments? They can add big cheers when a goal is scored.

My thoughts after the game are for the seagulls who won’t get their feed of discarded chips tonight. Poor things stayed up late for nothing.

Who gives a flapping seagull about who won’t reach milestone games and other useless stats. People are dying, economies are tumbling and jobs are being lost for starters.

Yes, Champion Data has credibility.

I thought the consensus here was that Gary Lyon doesn’t know what he is talking about. Jones is a good kick for goal from long range that is a fact but his general field kicking is not. Bombs the ball too much with poor decision making. For his passing game I haven’t noticed much elan about it. I don’t know why Melksham has the yips on every set shot as he is the most complete and skilled kicker in our team otherwise. Salem is a good kick but has bad days. Jetta is the most thinking kicker in the game. Never wastes a kick if he can help it but lacks range and penetration. Always disposes the ball within his limits. Fritsch is very good also as well as May and Omac.

The bubble just needed an excuse to burst. Trade wars, bushfires, bloated stock market, easy debt and Trump were bound to blow up the economy sooner or later. The virus is just the tipping point.

Mattys Bar and Bistro in Crib Point are having a Corona Virus promotion. Buy a Corona beer and get one dunny roll free.

His perceived lack of skills are not terminal liabilities. His lack of creativity with the ball and inability to generate viable offensive movement when he has it are. However it was encouraging to see him share the ball around more in the practice game against Adelaide.

And the sales of The Hun will rise astronomically. For once it will justify the purchase price but the sewage system might complain.

I prefer an underdog status for our 2020 campaign. We alway come to grief when the media jumps on our bandwagon.

This may be a reality for the game come round 1. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/27/sports/soccer/coronavirus-italy-milan-soccer-stadium-photos.html?action=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage

He has never been the same after that shocking heavy knock he received a couple of seasons ago. Knocked all the electricity and enthusiasm out of him.

Well meaning but do we need another high maintenance Prima Donna forward?

I still haven’t forgiven Christopher Columbus for discovering America and bringing back syphilis to the civilised world. They could play games in empty stadiums like they do in Europe sometimes. Imagine round one at Optus and no partisan hordes to scream, yell and intimidate umpires. Should put WC right off their game

Durians kill more people than sharks. That is a fact.

Like us sharing a sleeping bag with a homeless drunk on a cold windy night camped under the Bolte Bridge flyover. The only comfort and pleasure is from us sleeping on the lee side of the wind.

Well he’s got to put in three cracking seasons if he wants to cash in big with FA. Hopefully we will have a couple of flags by then with his input. He has put the pressure on himself to perform by taking this deal.

As long as he gets “all in” and turns up when it counts.

This should be a challenge for Jack to take his game to the next level. He is still in the prime of his career with tangible success waiting to be grasped. If losing the captaincy affects him negatively it just proves he was never made of the right stuff to begin with.

Our previous leadership was like the hierarchy of a disfunctional wanky restaurant. We had an executive chef, head chef, sous chef, chef de partie, patisserie chef, sauté chef and commis chef lording over the kitchen porters and dishwashers. No wonder the broth spoils and we don’t need too many chefs to fry sausages.

I might change my opinion if he tears up WC in pressure cooker Optus Stadium. A blinder in a low intensity practice game promises everything but proves nothing.
