monoccular

I guess a “smart lawyer” could argue that his concussions make him not competent to properly consider any waver conditions. A very difficult issue. A bit like people having a right to be alcoholics or do certain drugs then becoming “brain dead”. No simple answer.

If he were similar enough to kick 6 goals in a GF that would do it for me 🤗🙄

Amongst all the doom and gloom expressed on these forums, it was refreshing to hear George in particular put it all into perspective and into the context of an entire very long season - hopefully one that last until the very end of September 🤞❤️💙❤️💙 I will listen to this one again whenever I start to get a bit depressed about us not easily winning every game. 🙄 Many thanks.

"If you can beat Geelong at the Cattery then you can beat Collingwood at the G. Even Collingwood players are human (sort of) theyre not AI robots." .... though not many of their fans

I would be interested to hear if there are any forward delivery drills that involve the talls actually spreading and smalls in crumbing positions instead of our norm of all flying in each other’s way.

Entrecôte anyone?

But a degree of anger when something, someone, or entity of which / whom you are passionate is wilting / disappearing etc before your eyes is surely appropriate. It is where and to whom it is addressed that matters. Maybe. Tom is strong, competitive, defensive, and can kick long vital goals. I did wonder in the distant past if a fully committed, fully fit Colin Sylvia could also have filled this rôle but an and b never occurred or at best aligned. Making it up, or following directions from HQ perhaps, which does tend to further the great conspiracy theory Maybe it is both?

misoneism - what a beautiful word to add to my lexicon. 🤗

Is there any reason tactically that our tall forwards all converge on the bomb and just rarely spread or lead? And our smalls don’t wait down front and behind and crumb the spill. So frustrating.

2020 was a total dogs dinner of a season and a coach cannot be blamed for in particular playing in Cairns immediately after a 2 hour flight with an hour plus bus trip at each end. Didn’t even get a warm up then a back to back game. 2 important losses as I recall in the context of the finals. 2022 we were cooked after a limited off season break and some tough scheduling though we did finish 2nd but on our last legs. Fewer excuses for 2023 and 2019. Real name surely is Mr Binman or maybe Lord or Viscount Binman.

Many of the holidays at Chelmsford were unfortunately very long term. You may miss our next flag in 55 years.

Do you think even He could help us??

“..And of course our forwards don’t lead because our mids don’t kick to leads. A vicious circle. …” Seems to me that this is a huge part of our current decline.

Is there any reason the tall forwards rarely spread instead of both / all contesting the same high incoming kick? At least it would spread the defenders if one lead and one stayed home or lead in a different direction. Seems like a simple change to try though I am of course just a supporter and know nothing.

And was there anyone who wasn’t a fan of Sir Humphrey?? As I recall Maggie Thatcher was a huge fan.

Yes. But, Tom is a MFC player and as such deserves support of all true Demon fans, regardless of his current limitations. It is not a choice we have.

Just watching a bit of GC$ v Dogs just why (for one of hundreds of reasons) there must never be a Darwin based team. Just never suitable for AFL winter footy. (And if they did any guesses how often Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon Geelong would ever have to go there?) Of course Gil or Dill May say yes if they have a billion dollar taxpayer funded covered air conditioned stadium.

Q 1 the forwards actually spread and it worked. But thereafter back to the old all up together. How difficult is it really for a professional team and coaching staff to try to get that right?

How did he go at Casey? 1 goal only. Maybe happier if we don’t. September holiday.

Not soft - but brainless.

Throw ignored - goal Freo.

Brad Johnson summed it up - Dees always kicking to JVR Nader a pack

Does anyone else find the camera work absolutely garbage. No idea of any perspective on the game.

Answer to the question where is Viney?

JVR head high - play on!! Even the commentary team are calling so Many missed frees to us.
