Tarax Club

Dare we say it with greater "connectivity" could be anything ... clearly benefited by "narrowing the focus" and playing his "role for the team." Swooper stood up and "controlled what he could control,”... Well, that is the "takeaway" from last rounds "learnings". Everything else is just "fugazi".

Wasn't that Ruth is Stranger than Richard? Well at least we are not Rock Bottom. The Cairns fiasco frustrating although it was, is on reflection not all down to Goodwin et al. The response in the last two games has been gratifying. Rather than go out meekly, the guys have re-established their playing credo and come out on top. Against two credible opponents. Its not perfect or always consistent but its heading in the right direction, up the ladder. Agree with the agricultural gent who posted earlier, 'Farmer'. Simon Goodwin spoke well at what may be the last post-match media conference for this season. Plenty of confidence and forthright introspection there. Remember 9thmond? regular bridesmaids coach, players and club under a great deal scrutiny until a critical mass was achieved ... ps. we are also warming to SOS, given his disappointments last season definitely Body and Soul. Convincingly beat Joe Daniher one on one in a key contest.

at 34 “ big mummy” has perfected the art of delivering the forceful sly wack . Which to umpire stevic and company appears ‘accidental’. Whilst Mumford runs amok leaving collateral damage in his wake. Coach Cameron may privately agree?, big mummy leads that most desirable stat. Most free kicks against for the season ( by a street apparently) and he hasn’t played that often. Adding to his list of misdemeanours. Is his go at acting ‘hurt’ after his GBH episode on young Clarence... add eggs and coffee to that. On the debit side of the GWS ledger is his high backhander to young Rivers, gifting our outfit a crucial goal and mummy’s bank account is $1000 in deficit after his hit on Max. All for the best though, mummy may be less tempted to indulge in elicit substances in the off season retirement. Where he may be banished for eternity, wrapped up in copious linen bandages, his organs removed and placed in a canoptic jar and his earthly remains (including his footy boots) impregnated with his favourite white substance... ...nakron

Totally lost any belief here since last year v crows in Darwin. Tex Walker absolutely rheemed him. Worst performance from a defensive key defender since Paul Rowland v Peter Hudson.

Lost at the selection table. What a bunch of soft unaccountable marshmallows from coach down. Rather have a giraffe running around in defence. Oscar and Co go join the circus.

Oscar McDonald is Inspector Clouseau? "Give me ten men like Clouseau and I could destroy the world."

?

Cream must rise to the top.

Will go down to the wire. A loss will see this mob up sheep she it creek in a barbwire canoe without excuses. Better be a good win than.

Tex Walker would approve.

First quarter 7 frees to 4, + multiple 50 metre penalties throw in, Second quarter the screw turns Port's way... MFC like a drunken sailor all over the shop.

Contrary to reports Big Tom is not a liability...

absolutely

Laughing gas?

That BAD that the umpires are providing sympathy and tea. Copious frees and multiple fifty metre penalties have done little.

Not wishing for a repeat of last Sunday's goal kicking yips!

Joeboy - cut to mustard Gawn - mastered by apprentice Viney - kamikaze ball attack Oliver - skills upgrade urgent Petracca - struggled for significance Salem - get hands dirty Langdon - goal kicking bunny Jones - great servant retire May - Hipwood influence negated Melksham - smart true boot Lever - earned his keep Harmes - five year contract!!! Lockhart - emerging small defender Hibberd - howler didn't help Bennell - spotlight too bright Brayshaw - rocket needs blast Weideman - toss those boots Fritsch - add michelin suit Jackson - it's Jet Jackson Jetta - got the Jones McDonald - revisionism equals reality? Hannan - beachball in Manly Pickett - accelerator not connected Goodwin - stale bread and... MFC - muffins fluffed culpability Umpires - return to sender AFL - dump goal farce Tarax Club - not happy campers

Agree with all that Rab. Massively frustrated with getting the rough end of the pineapple especially during the last almost climaxic 90 seconds. Thwarted again by lesser mortals sadly and our own keep shooting themselves in the foot. Rather than putting scoreboard pressure on. Filthy on the 50 metre penalty against Fritter. Brisvegas boys were doing the exactly same and had umpiring immunity.

Has hit a ceiling will not ascend to elite level without cleaning up his skills big time .

UMpires and other officials for the game can all be shipped back to Victoria. F for "Freddy' useless.

Dam buster alert! That quarter had way too much % time played in Brisvegas's forward half. Keep dishing up more of the same next half, the pressure will crack our defence wall. Some very gettable goals missed don't help.

Trust the brolly and wellingtons are packed.

Evokes memories of ... Let Trac wander north to the goal square, Way out further on there to score, By a boundary line throw in, let Gawn linger, Where Sammy Weideman has flown high. When the players tangle on the centre circle, And clouds fill the old northern stand sky, And the midfield moves back from the forward fifty, When the rain tumbles down in July. ...with more than a nod to the bard of Nulla Nulla Creek

Backing Tom to return to best 22 form and selection sometime very soon.

Any sign of a periscope Skuit?
