monoccular

ManDee - it is usually (or at least used to be) primary syphilis at uni, tertiary sneaks up on one many years later and ...... sorry I forgot what I was saying ..... can cause early dementia (though not as far as I am aware DEEmentia)

Nothing that would get past the (&^*&^^&$^$$#@%$^%&)(* auto censor.

Perhaps he is the sane one, realising that there can be a lot of harm from overusing antisocial media. If that is what he has done and why, congratulations to him.

Just did google map - from the G to Casey Fields at 8:30 pm 45 minutes! Much longer any time in daylight any day of the week. certainly plenty of area. A matter of claiming a spot of our own. And of course preseason training would be disrupted by the Grand Prix. Maybe Gil and the other Grand [censored] could sacrifice the polo pitch opposite pit straight? Cricket (and Grand Prix) clash with preseason. Sadly MFC don’t have many heavies (other perhaps than than Steven May presenting for preseason ?)

chook - your own observations, statistics, or speculation ??

As I recall, nobody played well in 1978 ?

Some sort of record low inside 50 conversion to any score let alone goals. Can some stats guru find the data Please? Queen’s Fat Bottomed Girls? A very rare moment of joy in an awful game. Two come from behind wins in a row - how un Melbounian. Didn’t mark what he should have but recovered composure in the nick of tome. Like last night’s game, did the siren sound before the vital last kick (mark last night)? I must say I feared it had.

In 2018, out 2019

Past tense D Beat news is only 11 more minutes of this [censored] to watch before we can move on to planning 2025

14 more inside 50 and a only just ahead, somehow. What an absolute rabble.

Are you sure you are not an alias for Titus?

Yet another goalless quarter. Are there stats re dominating inside 50 without scoring goals? We must surely be near some sort of record.

Early call on Keilty I reckon but OMG OMD can’t defend.

Technical stuff dreamed up by Gill and Shocking who of course will never dream of admitting it contributes zero positive to the game.

How could that possible in anyone’s mind not be holding the man. Corruption reigns

IN: S May to pour beers for the GC$ before the game and at breaks.

That is in fact a tiny oval for match simulations. Could however be widened without major works from what I can remember, and also maybe lengthened? But could we get the next Brock McLean or Chri$$$ Judd to buy in to the long drive? And who is going to pay for that? Transport alone would be a huge investment and would be starting from scratch. The Feds and State have already overcommitted to Kardinia Park and Western Oval redevelopments - would they be prepared to do the same for us?

Jack has a poor record of judging when fit to play. By his own admission he returned early from his foot injury in 2017 and has had long periods on the sidelines and/or managed game time since. His game time was managed in games early in the season. Ditto vs Hawks - he played about 2 of the first 3 qtrs (prior to the shoulder injury). This suggests something other than the shoulder injury is causing the managed game times. Have someone else make the decision! Agree. All JV really know is that he loves to play footy. Some serious professional guidance is required.

Perhaps because he is inconsistent and that he seems pretty clueless.

I see Frotsy as more of a gazelle - leaping, jumping then running like hell. Not [censored] brother, but one who at this stage doesn't look like being a contributor compared to his bro (for injury reasons) is KK. OMG - have you heard that Geelong have signed him up :-((

“Goodwin: When you’re a new player to a footy club all you want to do is show off the hard work you’ve done. Steven hasn’t had the chance to do that yet, but his attitude towards his training has been great.” Hasn't actually been able to show off what he hasn’t actually done seems more to the point. Hasn't given himself the chance more to the point.

Of course I would be happy in any way were Clarrie suspended for the same offense, but the big difference is that he probably would have been. Now if Gablett was suspended then it could be a confirmation that the AFL is actually consistent in their pious claims that the head is always sacrosanct, and flowing that we’re Clarrie to do the same and get suspended whilst not happy I would understand. But it is the blatant consistent inconsistency and clear bias towards certain players, two Geelong “superstars” already being cleared of what many would not, that angers many.

.... load management ..... is Misson moonlighting from a logistics firm?

Burnside will do exactly what is expedient at the time.

TPF 39. Couldn’t agree more. I have had my say numerous times regarding disrespect being shown to players who despite trying their darndest, and having been successful in being selected for AFL lists turn out not to be stars (or even making the grade at all) being referred to as spuds or worse. They obviously don’t understand that there is in all populations a normal distribution in which a large percentage are in the middle and small numbers at each end. There always has to be someone at the left end of the bell curve. That doesn’t make them spuds or duds. They have at least achieved what most of us could only dream of. Perhaps it is they who are at the left end of the bell curve when it comes to normal human empathy.
