  1. I don't think so. The key will be how well we stop and/or pressure the ball coming him to him. If their mids and medium forwards are kicking it in to him under minimal pressure he will kill whoever is on him and get a bag. Tge other key will be drying up other scoring options. As i noted previously they will need to score close to 100 points to beat us and will happily give buddy 5-6 goals if he is the only scoring option. One thing i really like about frost on buddy is that im sure goody will instruct him to run off buddy, which will exspose his current lack of fitness and pace. If buddy is not scoring goals he is almost a liability, particularly on the wide spaces of the g, given how restricted he is (and how damaging his running is when fit). Smart move to look to exspose/exploit this lack of pace and abilty to apply forward chasing pressure. The suggestion they might look to bring hunt in fots with this as his pace would further exploit buddys imabilty to chase or get up rhe ground.

    The ellot goblet of the coaching fraternity
  3. Ramping up training would be hard to see on the track as i assume most of the aerobic and strength work happens on the other days, for instance in the gym. I think it is very likely they did a heavier block of training withe the aim of tapering for the finals.
  4. Exaclty what i thought. Really annoying and pretty disrespectful really. One in particular was annoying as i interested in is answer was who were the best players he played on an he got the second (McKenna?) and was cut off
  5. Basement tapes goes alright too. The last waltz is arguably the greatest ever rock film. Well, second. Spinal tap being number 1.

    From someone who is so consistently wrong that is high praise indeed. He knows whereof one speaks.
  7. That's my read. There is no dispute that he got hurt on Sat. They strapped his calf. But he went back on, which would not have happened if it was a strain or tear. A solid kick to the calf i suspect, which is entirely consistent with the fact he is both on light duties and that he jogged/walked laps at training. It is also consistent with the reliable information provided by Jane02 and Jane Phealn in her tweet.
  8. It says something about the state of mind of your average dees fan that the hearld sun is the voice of reason not us (ie dont panic)

    Exactly. Omac has taken the oppos number 1 forward all season. At the pointy end of the season we are top 4, so unarguably one of the best sides in the competition. They may well go with frost because they think he is a better match up (ie pace and strength). But given our ladder position they are just as likely to stick with a winning formula. On a related note, suggestions he might be dropped are absurd.
  10. No problems. We have Pedo.
  11. And if we beat wet coke people will say we got them when they were still reeling from the Gaff incident. And if we beat GWS people will say it is only because of their wretched run with injuries.
  12. Great bands all. But none, not even the stones had the same synergy as the band
  13. Where do you find it?
  14. binman replied to What's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    He might be a better fit in terms of pace and the fact that buddy plays up the ground a bit. But buddy is not fully fitvand is playing deeper so i reckon omac will get the nod.

    Omac will get first crack at buddie. If he is killing him frosty gets next crack. But buddy is not the key to this game. It is the medium to small forwards who have troubled us thisvseason, hawkins bag of 6 notwithstanding. Swans need 100 points to beat us. Dees will happily give buddy 5-6 goals if they are not fonding goals elsewhere.
  16. Is dee tales the podcast that was with sen? If si i cant find it on their website or app this season
  17. The Band. Truly one the great bands. In terms of synergy few come close - from that era perhaps only the Who and early Beatles
  18. Shouldn't it be Clarry thst weight?
  19. binman replied to What's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Whoever it was there are two likely dl responses. 1. Omac was on him 2. Small defenders get a free pass. It is only kpds that are heldcaccoubtable for forwards kicking bags.
  20. Coaches cleary disagree
  21. Disagree. A double chance has to increase chance of winning the gf. For a start we could beat ?

    Total match points, which was 155.5. A bet that in previous years have done pretty well wirh and was my main footy betting option. But very few this season because unlike last few years has been super variable. Though if you had taken unders every game you would be well up.

    Fortunately my mate disagreed with my tigers line bet. But agreed with the tmp bet. So a good win.
  24. Exactly. What a ridiculous comment. Revealing though. The world cup is a tournament not a football season. Is rhat how rhey see aflw?

    My best bets for this round of footy Richmond to make their line of 15.5 Comments: The Total Match Point (TMP) line is only 155.5 which is the only reason i can see for the line being at 15.5. At the G the tigers are a 5 goal better side than the cats and if there is some rain about (which is why the TMP is so low) it will help the Tigers as rain suits their hyper pressure style and conversely hurts the Cats as it will negate Hawkins. So a line of 15.5 is terrific value. By the by the forecast is for showers to clear so 155.5 TMP is pretty low, though it is bound to be a high pressure affair. Roos to make their line of -2.5 Comments: Yes Higgins is out, which is a big blow and it is Lions home game but i cannot believe Lions are starting favorites in this match. North are pushing for finals and a loss would really hurt them. Surely the Roos have the greater motivation. I will add however that my mate who i bet with has send his weekly email with his best bets and has the lions as one of them! So we will be trying to convince each other the other is wrong.
