monoccular

Only if the powers-that-be don’t underestimate the opposition. Petty debut v Saints springs to mind, which events had longlasting detrimental effects on both the individual player and the team. Especially those who have been deemented since 1956 ?

drdrake. Do you think Tiger Woods doesn’t spend hours and hours using training and alignment aids because he doesn’t think he can improve or become more predictable or even develop new shots? Doesn't Steve Smith work hard on techniques in the nets? I would be disappointed if our club decided not to try a training technique that may improve even a few percent any of the required skills. I applaud them for trying this. long face

The media will be most unhappy not having any club reps to talk to.

drdrake. Why not, if it helps?

Quite profound, Paul, and more likely to be true than anything else here.

Big Bob #16? Good at contributing to MFC flags ... about half of them if I am not mistaken.

??? Season over. Will book the ⛷ for September.

Most folk do their KK a lot nearer Christmas Is Max doing those burpees???? If so I bet that “he whose name shall never be mentioned” will be glad he has moved on.

But plus is far easier to spell, and pronounce, than ampersand.

Bomberland could be feeling just a bit uneasy in case he is offered some sort of plea bargain for spilling the beans (or whatever he was using), or even investigator accidentally finding some records that they all thought were well hidden. Would not trust the cockroach not to take down his erstwhile mates with the sinking ship (before correcting me on my use of metaphors, I do recognize that the conventional word in this context is rats not cockroaches - but rats can be useful in laboratories when young AFL players cannot be found, whereas cockroaches really do not have any saving graces).

Harley does certainly appear to be "giving it his all" in a last ditch bid to save his career. Great to have someone at the club with this mindset, though it could still possibly not amount to anything. Well done, son.

So, if the others are nonplussed, is Salem plussed, or nonminused even?

Lazarus played for Fitzroy in the 1960s if I recall. I think a FF? So for him to come back would be a miracle of biblical proportions.

90"s ???? Surely you mean 90s

** unless he steps back up to the form he showed in those 2 MCG finals, which he could well do.

Driving a Valiant 50 years back!! Is it some form of time machine? Please drive it back about 60 years so we can enjoy some premierships.

Is his wearing #15 here an indication of his final number?

Petracca, apparently, and maybe Fritsch, for a moment. The older guy (?#23) won more flags, but “young Barrie” (?#32) has the sad distinction of being our most recent Premiership HFF.

Hope that is the only thing we do follow them on.

Well, we didn’t, and we did, so does that rekindle any interest in Murray? Murray has some stains of cocaine, but Brown has stains of EssUndone.

Where have I heard that before? Oh, yeah. Strauss, Maric, even Morton .... elite kicks. Problem was they couldn’t get the ball.

I was more amused seeing Bennell, who this week ran for the first time in many months, named on the HFF.

I wonder how he would go, and how oppositions would play him, if we tried the Pagan Paddock option, one on one Jackson from the goal square, with Pickett sprinting in from wide on the flank?

adc. You have hit all the nails on the head. And Gil will be able, in his mind anyway, to justify a pay rise and or a bigger bonus.

... and take that SHocking guy with him, meddlesome prat.
