monoccular

We can only be the best if our guys forget the media and the antisocial media and just concentrate on playing their best footy. That with or without Gaff (though better with).

Are the Bummers back on "the good stuff"? Maybe they know that it is OK in WA?

Surprised that the auto censor didn’t cut that out by the way, who is this guy?

I hope the team don’t read about this: a huge risk, once again, of “getting ahead of themselves”. Remove all plugs from the bathtubs, and preferably block the taps too.

Surely this is a statement of the bleeding obvious!

willmoy - it is at Adelaide Oval so there will be a massive discrepancy by default.

I can't speak for SWYL but I read it not that his job is under pressure but nevertheless he is still under pressure to achieve more, and more consistently. That does not (necessarily) meaning if things don't change soon he will lose his job. There is pressure and there is pressure.

Thanks ... great report. Any sign of Tim Smith? Presumably recovered from whatever injury he had, but maybe back to Casey for him? Would that indicate that Weideman is the front runner for the third tall forward / relief ruck spot? IF the poor guy (VDB) gets back he will no doubt play with incredible intensity to try to atone for what he has missed out on. Good luck to him ... he deserves a stroke of good luck.

Season ending or even career ending? Nothing has worked for the poor guy.

That certainly is a weird one: Port claiming China as their turf but the games are not home games. ALF logic? And yes, totally unfair, on both participating teams, not to have it before the bye

IMO he is the best #31 since TGRDB. Exciting, focussed, skilled, disciplined. GO NUMBER 31!!!!

Sounds a great idea, but if i remember correctly isn't this quite a sloping site? So one would need to either dig at the northern end or build up at the southern end or both. I just can't envisage the loonie left Greens allowing it though.

He certainly needs to keep out of the media and concentrate on his game.

Mods - the title of this thread reads as if a fait accompli How about either putting “how about” at the start or some ???? at the end???

Yes. Maybe I have a poor memory but I seem to remember Jeffy putting in some shockers in the wet.

No doubt the Christians will stick together “nothing to see here”!

Neck and neck race between Richardson and Bolton. Buckley after the (hopefully) late season choke ???

How about midnight Sunday without the lights? Couldn’t be less appealing

The only “zoning” I could be comfortable with would be requiring all players other than centre square four, and two wingers, being inside the 50 meter arc at the start of quarters and after goals. No mark for backward kicks other than from inside forward 50 arc could reduce the frustrating time wasting clock running especially late in games, and force more attacking thrusts. No mark paid to the defending team at the kick out after a behind until the ball clears the 50 arc could provide more contests. And definitely only a perfectly executed tackle should ever result in a HTB free, thus encouraging and rewarding the guy who goes in and gets the ball. The stacks on the mill crushing the guy who goes in and gets it rewarding the vultures is a source of anger and frustration to me and others.

I guess were it actually relevant to my work, as it is with Petracca, then I would say yes. The brakes need to break.

Bloody hell the umpires love Frankenstein Last three minutes of third Q - the first a dive that would make the Tiger “world best ever defender” Prancer look an honest man, followed by another real softie

Jason Taylor ?

No Mr Neeld, we didn't. Do you mean like Malthouse at Carlton? :-( Interesting the wide diversity of opinions here, from disgust to ecstasy. Don't know really what to think, though presumably Peter Jackson has endorsed the appointment, which would give me some confidence.

^^^????? Does anyone have information as to how many times and how many weeks has he missed through hamstring injuries? Are they the same side? (I know he also missed with a shoulder, but have there been other injuries too?) At his best he is a valuable contributor, but I find it hard to think of him as a reliable half forward, and he seems miles away from becoming a midfielder.

Maybe Webber could enlighten us, but I think I heard that one may get by in straight line running but twisting and turning as in Aussie Rules it is not on.
