The anti frost

Omac takes a strong pack mark. Hits a target. Rivers than turns it over and cost us a goal.

I hope so

Love your work TGR. Like a car crash i can't look away. The posters on my ignore list would be amazed you are not on it with them. That said your trolling standards are slipping a bit lately. You are losing your touch. I mean take the post quoted above. Terrible trolling. I mean i get that everybody loves Jetts, so ipso facto bagging him is bound to get a rise from some. But that is the best you can do? And the who is emergency tag line? I mean c'mon you can do better than that. Lazy work. I expect so much more from you. I'm sorry but if you don't lift your standard of trolling back to an acceptable level then regrettably i'm going to have to put you on ignore after all. Lift your game. I know you can do it.

It's all mental

He would thrive in today's game.

Too right. The alternative is stupid, distracting discussion about his chances of signing. Or worse the dreaded 'I leave that stuff to my manager, but I'm sure it will all work out with the manager following up with 'we'll wait till the end of the season'

Spot on red. The key point is he had a choice and elected to bump a player. Who didn't even have the ball. Oliver is super lucky his jaw wasn't broken. If it had been crouch gets six weeks. Ridiculous luck plays such a big role in the punishment. I thought the head was sacrosanct. Makes a complete joke of the AFL's recent strengthening of the concussion protocols. I can't believe there has not been an uproar about this. Shocking decision.

Shhh. Mach 5 will hear you.

I watched the blues brothers on the weekend with the kids. Love that film. My teenage kids didn't know what to make of it. My son couldn't stand the musical interludes. And found it too surreal. Like Life of Brian really just a series of connected comedy sketches. But like Life of Brian it works.

And besides 'more than satisfied' has the ring of a backhanded compliment.

No, it was near the very end of the season. Which negates the rest of your curious supposition.

Always looks completely perplexed when a free is paid against him. It will be interesting to see how long it takes Clark ro lose patience in frost ball given his focus on system and contolled ball use.

Agree. Runs against last year's the club is in crisis narrative a bunch of posters were running hard with last year. Trac resigning also runs contrary to the palaver about him being unhappy at the club and its direction. Beware the agendas I reckon.

I can see that goshs is not up to scratch but surely it is not because it is open to public foot traffic. I might be wrong but how many people walk there? The pies ground is open (albeit with a low fence) as is Waverly.

What a strange thread. I'll say Stuie dew. Dew comes after frost doesn't it. But seriously, frost is irreplaceable. No one kicks as badly as he does.

Maybe you were the pretender....

Maybe. But i reckon given he represents such a tricky match up up forward (they have to play a tall on him) and his leap means he can take centre bounces without getting buffeted too much that they will want to play him round one. particularly if Weed can give Maxy a chop out occasionally (and Tomlinson around the ground).

Agree. I reckon he is a pretty good ruck. I thought that when he did a bit of ruck work (having done a fair bit at Casey iirc) when he came back into the side in 2018. Didn't do any last year which surprised me until I read about his issues with his hips. I reckon weed and jackson represent fantastic back up options and create real versatility. For example max can drop back or roll forward and weed or jackson can take ruck duties in general play for a few minutes.

Me too

Not injured

A benefit of him occasionally playing as a mid is that it gives another pack marking option in general play, whereas normally it is the sole ruckman and whatever key position player is in the vicinity. A couple of times Weed and Jackso were flying for mark or spoils in general play. I'm not sure if it happened on Saturday but the two rucks (say Jackson and gawn) could also take opposition wings making it harder for opposition teams from kick outs outs or when clearing defence. The marking power around the ground gives us a point of difference. Also means Tmac and Weed are not under so much pressure to push up the ground to be a marking option. Tomlinson helps wit this aspect as well as he is a tall lump.

We had stopped doing it by about round 13 as it was factor in us getting opened up. From that point to the end of the season we had the least points scored against us IIRC. Great goody is experimenting again with it but i suspect he might be a bit more circumspect with such a tactic this season.

One missed tackle by Jones in that scenario as far as i can recall. Plenty of missed tackles across the whole game by other players.

i'm on record as saying that i was sure both would be made captain. And am very surprise that hasn't eventuated. Agree they have handled it well. Adding to your points WB i'd add the decision not to have a leadership group outside a captain and VC is cleaver in so far as it makes both positions more significant in some respects and therefore mitigates a bit the impact on Viney of being demoted.
