monoccular

Great summation of where we are, or in fact where we aren’t. Is it the coach, , is it the players, both, some other outside factor? Certainly it is a sign of lack of mental toughness, a prerequisite for ruthlessness which in turn is a prerequisite for a flag. Hope we can find it but won’t hold my breath. The young forward inclusions from last round certainly offer us more opportunity to find it than those they displaced (Tracc excepted). Go Dees.

IMO all premierships since say 1964 should be declared null and void

Looking at Docklands surface Sunday it would be easy to sweep anything under the grass there.

And Sparko didn’t out a foot wrong the previous weeks either ?

Yes. I don’t think anything more needs to be, or should be said at this stage, regarding Thompson anyway.

Remember Norf are protected under the Boomer Harvey Snipe Agreement.

At least the inane TV commentators won’t be able to say whenever he gets the ball “he comes from a basketball background” ?

One of the ABC commentators I think said that Melk and Hibberd were rejects from the drug lords: I would see them as escapees or refugees. Both are doing a great job after a quiet start to the season.

Good point .... and our crumbers up forward other than Spargo arent your usual smalls. Fritsch, Hannan can take a grab when needed One or two fly, the rest crumb. Sack Goody now replace with Clint. ? Far better to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong than a pessimist who is always right !

The win could be a springboard, hopefully: just hope they have the sense to confiscate the bath plugs to prevent the inappropriate imbibition that has plagued successes in recent times.

And we can’t buy a win at the G so far this year ?

Short memory? Clarrie was BOG or close on debut and for weeks following

???? Are they referring to the most unlikeable player in the AFL, Goddard? I wonder which of his team mates he blamed today? Anyone still think we should have picked Parish over Oliver?? .... or WCE in Perth.

Hannan and Fritsch and Spargo >> Garlett and Bugg and Kent

Well hopefully not the same side as his major one last time.

ANB was exciting in his debut year, OK in his second, but abysmally out of touch this season. What has gone wrong? Poor coaching? Poor mentoring? Asked to play a role that he cannot adapt to? ?????? Disappointing. He MUST sort himself out over the next month or so (MFC or Casey) or he will risk delisting / trade (depending upon contract status).

Not only premium members, but ordinary members (and non member fans) are being totally dudded by yet another year of pumped up optimism but zero delivery by this heartless club.

IMO the one and only defender who has been at all consistent this season, 4 games plus Ansett Cup (or whatever) in is the much maligned Oscar McDonald. Is that due to Lever unbalancing the group?

Maybe after today one could say the same for Goodwin and MFC players Trouble is that Goodwin doesn’t appear to have sufficient game day ‘intelligence’ to churn effectively.

FCS it is no good dwelling on the past and wrist slitting - tes we got it wrong - but continuing this what if stuff could be soul destroying Enjoy what we have with the likes of Clarrie, Petracca, Salem, Hogan, maybe Viney some day, etc

NOT a banned substance Being used under special permit meaning that it will be carefully monitored, and unlike EssUndone records will be kept So, very different from Hird and Danks’ secret human experimentation

IF IF IF IF IF!! IF we picked up Ollie, who know we may have won a few more and missed on Clarrie? Too many IFs. IF we picked Dusty, Buddy etc etc. Water under the bridge.

And Worsfold would be just the person to work the chemistry to perfection. STOP PRESS - could the cricket saga have come t a better time for the EFC drug cheats? They have handed on the mantle of "the darkest moment in Australian sport" to Cricket Oz.

Oxymoron.

✔️ Didn’t listen to the commentary but were he in rednblue the cheap free he got would have gone the other way. He was out marked in the contest too. otherwise, some nice kicks, but no hard stuff needed The grey was however a nice change from teal. How pathetic is the auto censor. Can’t call a ? a 9u55y FCS.
