I see what you're saying about petty in terms of his costly turnovers, but reads the play well and has good hands. Also loved the way he attacked the ball in the air at the edge of the centre square at the punt road end. Cruched the Freo player. Playing twiggy lever's role so probably comes out for him. But who knows when that will be? I'd keep hannan in too. Rather he finds form in the ones to be honest. Important player structurally and i think with q couple of games now under his belt will start to improve.

Agree. And on another day he gets 5 or 6 not 3.3 because he is usually an excellent kick for goal. Terrific technique. Has had a horrid run with injury and hopefully he can play out the season and build confidence and experience. I was reflecting that ideally we would have both Smith's in the forward line. Both attack the ball in the air and on the ground and tackle fiercely and provide the sort of forward pressure we have sorely missed.

This should be pinned to the top of every thread.

Not bad from 40 though!

Joeboy's 3 word analysis v fremantle - most accurate ever

Exactly what i thought. After the first we had he way more uncontested marks than them. Played much slower

Agree on both. Frost's last quarter arguably won us the game. From the top of the ponsford I had a great view of his intercept mark in the last. Made the decision early and backed himself in, then made the next kick. Critical contest as we scored a terrific gogoa l after to tacking it down the ground. I want fritter kicking the ball to out forwards. Petty was excellent and May played well. Marty hore was solid again.

No game is pointless - I don't think there has ever been a scoreless game. Boom tish. But seriously every game they play is important. Every game.

I'll be there. Top of the ponsford. With the same feeling I have had for 90% of the time i have supported the dees. Wanting to watch us win a game of footy. A game that stands by itself, disconnected from concepts such as ladder position and finals. I want to see us win.

Also why would Omac come in for an intercept player like Lever? May yes, but not Lever. Petty for Lever makes more sense. As statements go it's a pretty limp one.

Compelling examples of goodes crying poor me. You're not a barrister are you?

Why are you focusing on toughness.? Jeffy doesn't need to be a tough player like a viney. He'll never be that sort of plsyer. And that's fine. But Jeffy is playing as if he is afraid of getting hurt and is shirking contests. Even that peanut darcy (I think) pointed that out against the crows when jeffy, late in the match elected to skirt a pack rather than go to the ball. But as you say he is kicking goals and if goody continues to pick him I'll respect his call.

With the internet at your fingers I'm sure you will be able to find and load lots of examples of goodes 'crying poor' to provide some substance to that claim.

The issue i have with jeffy is nor tbat he is not hard enough. It is tbat he is squibbing key, non negotable contests during matches where he is simply must commit to the ball and if necessary take a hit. There have been 5 or 6 of such (non) contests this year and at least 2 or 3 at critical times. Not only have they cost us shots on goals, they are soul destroying for the team. And for me are deal breakers, even with his goals.

It's an interesting one. I see your point about his goals and given our scoring woes it has merit. Though quite a few of Jeff's goals have been easy, last link in the chain goals. And he has missed some very gettable goaps at critical times. And elected not to try to kick from 30 against the pies, again at a critical time. But his failure to commit to multiple contests would have seen him out of the side last year. And for mine should this year. Or else what message are you sending to Bedford, spargo etc.

swjs never sleep od. Always on the job.

A total load of rubbish fork. And the biggest load of rubbish is the bizarre assertion that he goodies cried 'poor me'. Such a weird rewriting of history and such an obvious illustration of confirmation bias. Even Adam Goodes most trenchant crrlitics, especially all the 'hard men' who wont be told they shouldn't boo, surely respect his stoicism and strength in refuing to comment on the controversy, then, since or now. Instructive that he only agreed to the recent doco because it only used archival footage and he declined to be interviewed. Cried poor? What a joke. An ironic one too given the pathetic bleating by toss pots and so called hard men like Sam Newman and any number of everday joes. Oh the war dance, how savage. Don't tell us we can't boo him, we'll do whatever we want - my grand pa pa fought for the right for freedom of speech. Don't play the racist card you bunch of pc swjs. Don't tell me I'm racist. It's got nothing to do with race - other aboriginal players never got nooed. We never boo eddy and even like micheal long. Blah. Blah l. Blah. On and on. Tbe bleating was and remains truly patethic and is a total embarrassment.

I'm bored. The chairman of the bored

Absolutely. Clueless. Again, not their fault. I sit at the top of the ponsford, usually in the back row adjacent to the bar/concourse area. I have a loud voice that echoes, particularly when it is empty, which is the case more often than not. I'm never aggressive but I am pretty vocal. When it is empty a couple of yellow coats invariably stand near me. Neither them or i are quite sure why though as I never cause issues, never abusive and any by play with opposition supporters is usually good natured. But stand there they do, mute, until eventually, perplexed they drift away.

The issue has absolutely zero to do with the ethnicity of the security guards. It has everything to do with how poorly trained and prepared they are.And i'll bet London to a brick they are really poorly paid. They just don't have the skills the job demands and that is not their fault.

Most organizations have an EAP program. Perhaps as part of our membership we could access to a Supporter Assistance Program. Very appropriate acronym too.

Warn once (pull your head in buddy) and if it continues evict (but not ban). The occasional swear word is ok (after telling a mate i yell loudly but never swear at the footy i yelled out 'f hell, hit a bloody target dees' against GWS after the 20th shocking turnover) but I find that some blokes swear in a really aggressive, targeted way as part of their attack on: coaches, umpires, their own players, opposition players and anyone in the crowd who tells them to pipe down or responds in any way.

Swearing (egf and c bombs) loudly and often?

Totally agree on both points forkie. In my experience is there is significantly more loud, agressive swearing at the footy these days. I'm a loud supporter but yelling f and c bombs is bollocks. I'll bet the poor me Carlton suppoter is one of those fools if that video he tweeted of him going off his head at last year's gf is anything to go by. Exactly the sort of supporter that I can't abide. Would have loved to see his post match video.

I don't think he is failing to follow instructions as such. He is just a really poor kick. That's not going to improve at Casey. Perhaps he should only handball!
