    I note that the quote was of Iowa law. Is it the same over here?
  2. Or not enough fans? JVR would most likely revel under the roof too See above. They just don’t have enough real fans.
  3. OMG Fritra out so drop Smith and don’t recall JVR, our best kick and best contested mark The other decent contested mark is Petty but he stays back Melksham fresh off 7 possessions stays in the forward line Hope this works but I cannot see how - I could very easily lose all interest in the remainder of the season.

    Sure ... but what tiny bones need, or can even take a plate I guess it will all come out in the course of time.

    And the AFL sometimes wonder why some people believe they are a corrupt organisation

    So we KNOW this? And what small bone in the foot needs a plate but isn’t very important??
  7. binman - sincere thanks for these two posts offering hope (with or without sanity) to us afflicted with severe chronic and recurring attacks of MFCSS. Your references to quick forward thrusts utilising 666 reminds me of the closing moments of a somewhat important 3rd quarter in a big game in Perth a couple of years ago - let’s hope that the guys can resurrect that for us to see live at the G.

    My understanding, perhaps flawed, is that a syndesmosis injury gets screwed, not plated.

    Plates in feet are rarely "minor" .... perhaps a little less so if it is an ankle. So no inside leaks as to which it is? Is it the same foot that kept him out at the start of the season? 😠

    Fritta update, please
  11. As mentioned in my last reply - he has been an elite player - late 2021 - so he has it there.
  12. The frustrating thing is that he can nail them from afar - the first goal of the 2021 GF shows what he is capable of. Is his leg NQR or is it in his mind? Tracc - you can do it and you have done it - do it again!!
  13. And you could give us all an update on loading theory 😱😱🤗🤗❤️💙
  14. Very good point. Tommo going well in defence in Petty’s absence Petty just clicking as a forward before his injury - desperate for a strong tall forward.
  15. He did, then he didn’t, now he does again. It has to be between the ears. Help him please
  16. Our inaccuracy / inability to kick vital goals has realistically already cost us any thoughts of top 2 and may well cost us top 4 thus any realistic thought of a premiership. Surely kicking is such a fundamental skill in Australian football that we cannot continue to recruit or carry players that cannot kick straight and hit a target or a goal. Unlike Rugby where there are few kicks, or American “Football” where it seems only one guy kicks regularly all our players must kick accurately. This is a massive challenge for all our players, and coaches. ARE THEY UP TO THE CHALLENGE ?
  17. As mentioned in the game thread, he would be a very worthy Brownlow medallist IF he were to get his kicking right. Set shots and field kicking. Question is how to fix it? I am sure Mark Williams has tried but whatever it is it is not working. Any serious suggestions?
  18. Thanks for all your hard work and as mentioned above maybe best to leave this one alone anyway. Hard to pick out many positives and even if it is the cause many or most are a bit over loading. Let’s hope we can all celebrate a magnificent return to form with a solid win over the Saints. Maybe you were lucky not to have been able to see the full game. 🙄
  19. Surely JVR for the injured Fritsch is the obvious bare minimum. The forwards at Docklands won’t have any wet weather excuses they may have chosen to pretend to have today - though GW$ handled it a lot better didn’t they. Hiw about Bowey HFF and Woey of Howes to have a run? Petty forward and Tommo back in his place. And no more rucks clogging up the attack. Random thoughts.
  20. Fox camera work about as amateurish as our forward connection. Both make it unwatchable.
  21. Good work May - fumble Harmes -GWS goal.
  22. binman - is this all loading?
  23. Tracc’s disposal is an absolute embarrassment. PYFO Chritlstian.
  24. Tracc could be a worthy Brownlow medalist IF HE COULD KICK!
  25. JVR will definitely be back next week now that Frittata is done. Really. Depends on the injury - fracture, strain, ligament etc
