How on earth is this different to your quote from dz?

Ya don't mess with dl goody. Nice get Moonie. Graphics and all. Typical from the footy media. Really most are just dead lazy and I'm amazed given they are paid to be experts at their collective lack of knowledge. The only ex footballers I rate from a knowledge and analysis point of view is Mick mcguane and Terry Wallace.

Strange isn't it. Very strange. Worries me that he is not a gre a t kick but we desperately need runners and he seems to offer that. As does Langdon. Durable too. Hardly missed a g a me. Of course now that he is likely coming to us he'll cop an injury.

My though too. No idea what this says but maybe it is referring to us: https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/more-news/giant-adam-tomlinson-might-be-forced-out-as-gws-tries-to-keep-lachie-whitfield/news-story/6990af03a2d28cf2d95636759099777c

Might be tricky to build into the CBA

Of course he knows, or at least the general scope. And I'll bet london to a brick he knows the salary. My guess is that richo himself will have a fair say in what his responsibilities are and what his role will be. They wanted him, wanted to ensure another club didn't grab him and I have little doubt part of the pitch was to create a win win scenario. We get his expertise and he gets, within parameters, scope to focus on what he is most interested in. Given things are still somewhat fluid I see it a massive vote of confidence in the fd and tbe club that he went with us or didn't just say let's wait a while.

What's the rush? I mean im all for transparency and good comms but their review is still going, and the dust is still settling from the departures, so I assume the full scope of his role is yet to be nailed down. So it would be silly to make some announcement about his title and resposibilities ahead of that. And to what end? To appease a few dees fans who are worried about the lack of clarity about his role?

Gws have some brilliant kicks too. Kelly, finnlayson and Whitfield in particular. A key skill players need these days as opposed to say 15 years ago is the ability to weight a ball over zones and into pockets of space and the quick change of direction diagonal kick. Both very tricky and both reasons why so many kicks get turned over and intercepted across hb.

All of 50. Brave too. I'm hoping for a dry deck on Friday as I reckon if dry wc will give cats a real touch up.The cats simply can't score enough.

Agree dazzler. There was one kick in particular, back into the corridor, that was a thing of beauty.

Not sure if you are joking (sarcasm can be difficult to discern - grapeviney says hi). But if not I agree. I love the giant's theme song. I give has a real shot at going all the way. I think they'll beat lions (Great odds btw - lions short priced face. But shouldn't be. Favorites yes. But not 1.65). And if they do they'll have some real momentum.

Strongly disagree

Yes that makes sense. Had to laugh when sorry kids said goodbye a couple of weeks back. Have them both on ignore. I wish posters would stop quoting them

It does if you are whyl apparently

I h as he listening to dees games on the radio. Don't mind races at tall though. I can visualise the race and have listened to so many races that it feels more natural somehow. Good day to trust form. Snagged dreamforce and fatinaah for handicap, track and first up form reasons. I like tbat.

Perhaps you could have used a clip from the film Weekend at bernaise

My best Exhilarates mv race 5 no 1 A really top days racing. I think lots of favs will get up at the valley and randwick. The Concorde is a ripper. Is nature strip too short? Quick but I think I'll trust the handicap and go with redzel, even though it hasn't won for a while. Best value: kenedna (a horse i can never seem to snag. I hope that changes to today) Best roughie: a the between ashlor and mister sea wolf. Good punting fellas

Yes one game is not much of a sample. But I was referring to wet toast approach. Yes the bombers turned it over horrendously (looked very familiar I have to say), but from the get go wc moved it forward very quickly and aggressively, using the corridor and not holding in their back. The quarter time score reflected this attacking style. Really they only reverted to the chip or around their back half when the bombers closed within 24 points after saads goal. They used tempo to kill rhw bomber's momentum very cleverly. And that was that. The total match point line was 157. Money for old rope. I predicted a line of 170 and it ended up over that easily.

Excellent summary DS. The chip, hold, mark and spread style so in favor this year requires elite aerobic fitness and we simply were never fit enough this season. A poster (I forget who - apologies) made an excellent point about the type of athlete needed for this game style ie 400 metre runners who can run at pace over 400 metres as opposed to the fast twitch power athletes, burst players we have so many of (which is in large part a failure of recruiting in my opinion - and not just a recent failure i might add, which is why i get annoyed with Roos distancing himself from where we are at). You make an excellent point about KK and VDB. Both players are exactly the sort of athletes we have lacked, as is Hanan to a lesser extent and their absence has really hurt us. And based on May's recent comments in quite a revealing interview on SEN they were hoping he would also provide running cover (he is surprisingly quick over distance for such a big unit). On the the chip, hold, mark and spread style i posted in another thread that i think there will be less of it in the finals (and consequently higher scoring than has been the case during the season). I think we saw evidence of that last night with the styles' best proponent being much more attacking with their ball movement and only rarely going to tempo, chip it across the hb football.

Agree with most of the above. Personally i don't think the 666 rules had much impact at all - to us or the league as a whole

I need a head exploding button. Toump and cook were two real first round corkers

Not to mention a club undergoing a review. Let me be the first to say I believe there will be major changes at the crows. Major.

That there would be more changes? Ground breaking stuff

Good point Red. Though we weren't forced to take the Toump. Who was next on the draft list? Ironic that the Toump also ended up at Port (and ended at Port).

So do i. I predict there will further changes #theinsidesource
