monoccular

Aha! The old missing groove.

I suspect that there was a hint of irony in the post. Maybe the next site update could add an “irony” emoji, such as 🙄

Not 57 years like last time, I hope 😱☹️ I guess there is a difference between optimism and defeatism though. Too deeply philosophical - does it man if you defeat yourself by bad kicking it gives more strength to do it again 🤔🤔🤔?

Joe Daniher once again showing why he isn’t a Nobel Prize winner. Just plain dumb running on to the mark from behind play.

What it says is that Sam isn’t meeting Goody’s KPIs and is going to need to work and improve considerably before he gets another go.

At least we won’t have him Monday - nor that nasty Dee hater #2 Yes - but a ridiculous knee jerk rule. Apart from that one even, this game (B v StK) is being grossly over umpired.

…. and way way over budget.

Totally agree. Stuff the pathetic media beat up on OUR PREMIERSHIP COACH

I must have missed the AFL “Integrity Commission” 🤗😱🤮 report into that incident.

That was when he was recruited. Anyone stood next to him at VFL huddles to asses??

Only at the pre dinner drinks - they didn’t stick around for the victory celebrations 🙄

And yet every draftee has it drummed into them that it is they who are responsible for anything ingested or injected, and that they should question anything prescribed for them. They were either incredibly stupid / naïve or more likely bullied by the club and coach into going against what they had been indoctrinated with by the AFL. … the empty package??

Yes. He appears to be “off his box” but it could be just his natural state and as I said there was nothing in the photos showing him snorting anything.

Perhaps, at least sometimes and not necessarily in this case, something else has very recently “gone through their minds”. There is no evidence (to date) that Mr Smith was actually sniffing anything around the time of the photo … but who, in their right mind, would post such a potentially damaging photo?

Mmmm . if we can reassemble our defence, our midfield and our team defensive efforts. And of course connect with our forwards.

..and crocodiles .. and the other 10% in jail or on parole But back to the nitty gritty - Goody handled that incredibly calmly and logically. We are in good hands, I believe. The big question is can the on field team mentally lift on Monday to give the Magpies a good old fashioned flogging? It will be a true test of footy and of character - a season defining game.

Grossly overrated, and presumably grossly overpaid. Doesn't seem to have his heart in it.

Blues midfield and forwards are rather scary, and do seem to connect very nicely. I seriously hope that our team is watching this tonight - preferably as a group with Goodwin commenting. (Or they could be out at France-Soir )

Yes ... probably

The AFL "Integrity Unit" should 1/ investigate the MRO/MRP 2/ investigate the state of umpiring 3/ investigate the Integrity Unit 4/ disband Absolutely a misnomer - very very selectively investigates who it like and ignores what it doesn't want to know - like the FBI snd the Hunter Biden laptop.

Did you miss my attempt at the irony emoji?

Maybe May will have to come back via Casey if Disco turns it on? 🤔

I thought that Rosman has been out injured. But from whatI hear he is getting close, though not as was originally intended as a wingman, but as a defender. Well I am certain Ginivan will get a whole lot of frees in front of goal - AFL has decreed.

As mentioned earlier, the restaurant may wish to let this die down quickly. Without even in the slightest excusing the behaviour of our players, the restaurant's licence does include fairly strict guidelines and rules about the responsible serving of alcohol, including requirements NOT to serve to intoxicated persons. They may not want to rock the boat.

I was very close to moving seats - in the MCC a couple of old codgers were just denigrating our players at every opportunity - "no skills", "not trying", "never play him again" referring to maybe 8 or 10 players. I presume that he would want us playing with about 10 or 12 on the field. I do get a bit agitated / animated at times but this was bloody awful.
