monoccular

In fairness, there would be very few still alive who could remember Barassi Snrs playing attributes, whereas many remember Viney Snr and Jnr. (The Johnson and Molloy FS were not much of a success.)

Joe may have talent but I think he is an extremely dumb decision maker. Slobbo can And does think what he likes .... EssUndone will always be right and best in his unbiased opinion. Certain things have that effect on one’s little brain.

Yes I did forget Alvie’s though the question was post Flower. (Certainly a far better player than a fourth quarter GF game day coach ?)

Perhaps Christian has a very limited attention span

Tingay? S Stretch?

Maybe the coach pharmacist will cook some good stuff for him.

Aim high ..... why just aim at scraping in? Win 15, 16 + and aim for top 4, then top 2, then top.

Toumpas-Wines is water under the bridge .... too many what ifs??? Such as IF we got Wines we may have won a game or two more and missed on Oliver or Petracca etc etc (could have got McCartin or Parish ?) We (should) have moved on from that by now (as we should re NikNat-Watts) Not much use ever worrying about what one cannot alter, though one should always learn.

P ..... surely embarrassment requires insight, so I doubt if any would actually be embarrassed

They also maligned the umpire who was right there and clearly without hesitation said hit to the throat? Are these guys all deaf as well as the blind and dumb we already know about? And Lloyd of course knows all about diving, though he usually did dive forward.

A couple of questions for avid training and Casey watchers. How are Baker and Balic progressing? Are these potentially what we need here?

None of the commentators appeared to hear the umpire, who was right on the spot, call the throat contact .... the despicable Slobbo ranted on about it again today. Sober folk heard the call. Never recall Slobbo calling Dive Bomber Lloyd for his systematic staging ??????? Hopefully not the same SJ system Jesse used after his much discussed free right in front :-(((

Not sure why this is in this thread, but ANB needs at least a few weeks at Casey to regain that confidence. Hannan is overtaking him as opportunistic goalsneak.

Cale and Toump are, happily, ancient history Fritsch and possibly Hannan look like they could be options from inside the club

Is that the same ladder predictor that our club used before round 23 last year which prompted them to tell us about finals tickets?? In which case I think it would be better left down :-((((

IMO Tracc has already surpassed Col.

I honestly cannot remember even one who wore the number with distinction since the great RDB - Fritsch to me looks the best so far. Many have been great disappointments (to say the least): Ray Groom was probably the best of a bad lot in my memory.

I just hope he plays QB and has a blinder! He is coming along nicely and complements Hogan and Tommy beautifully. Learning ruck work.

Just flabbergasted that the investigation was primarily of Hogan's actions and not on Carlisle's! Blame the victim .... In this the year of the clergy child abuse royal commission, one could say that Christians have lost a fair bit of credibility - this is one more hit. Lloyd the greatest diver in AFL history - pot ... kettle .... black.

A fine for what? Being hit in the throat in full view of an umpire? OMG.

Were you in the same position as the umpire? He had absolutely no hesitation in paying the free and saying he went for the throat.

I was incensed when he mentioned that McCartin had a history of head injuries, but failed to acknowledge that Nev came close to retiring due to concussions. Ignorant or biased I don’t care - just poor commentary and poor research and knowledge of the game. Wasn’t StKilda going about as well under his tutelage as they are going now? Or were they, could they be, worse ? I am anti Watson . I had no idea what he was talking about, and clearly he didn’t either. As regards Tracc’s digit - it was all over the newspapers, and most footy media. IsBT so wrapped up in his own opinion and his own world that he doesn’t follow the news?

Is anyone still questioning Petracca vs McCartin draft order?

I was feeling disappointed but on reflection 3 games in 12 days understandably they ran out of steam a bit. But if they don’t bury true GC and The Cheaters the next two rounds I will not be so forgiving.

Great to see him getting a good run and showing his worth.
