Fork 'em

I’m always hearing on here that footballers (round ball) are all soft AF but try telling that to a Nigerian that’s plying his trade in Vladivostok or a Colombian playing in Helsinki. I wonder if these guys that run down their contracts because they miss their mum are the same ones you see on docos that are still being breastfed when they’re in primary school. 

I dunno.
I moved away from home when I was 18.
Spent a few years home sick at different points till my visits back to Melbourne to see family and friends got less and less.
Now I can't stand the joint.
Reckon getting homesick as a young fella is pretty natural.
It passes for some, but for others it's stronger.
And I was raised by my old man from the age of 5 😁

Broden just mentioned Demonland in the latest episode, he's one of us*.

Any chance of a link?

Just because there's a lure doesn't mean it will catch anything. 

As a fisherman who mostly uses lures this is 100% correct 😂

Well we know one thing.
The Melk will give it all he's got.
Stood up during multiple big moments during the year and one of our best kicks for goal.
Not much competition on that front I know.

Everyone has different tastes and preferences of course but to say the game was boring yesterday is ridiculous. Ripping first half chock full of outstanding goal kicking. Both teams took the game on. 3rd quarter sagged (understandably given the hot day) but it was tight and tense throughout.

Tough crowd to please.

It was sheet cause we weren't in it.
And had we been there the game would've been an ugly maul.
Cause that's how we roll.

My sister declared today it feels like it didn't even happen.

I loved loved loved us winning in 2021 but god I feel robbed at being able to celebrate :( come on dees! 2024 please! 

We we're robbed big time.
Would've loved to have celebrated with our players and supporters both after the game and the next day.
Instead we celebrated by phone.
Well I did.

congratulate him on the win and move on. 

Nah, 

Look at him across the desk and say "Fork the Pies"
Then get back to work.

  Whatever happened behind closed doors in the last part of the season between Grundy, Max  and the coach, it cost us big time. And I suspect the fiasco involves some very unprofessional, selfish behaviour somewhere but we will never know. 

Yeah, something happened there.
Disrespected Grundy bigtime.

Good luck trying to bring the next free agent to the club if that's how we're gonna treat 'em.

Catch anything?

Got a few nice reddies.
Yummo 😋

The decision between going to football games and playing golf is getting easier by the year 

I went fishin' 😉
Still sucks hearing the result when I got home.

We'd be 1 goal 5pts by now.

I should be on my fifth coffee, third Red Bull and tenth cigarette by now, having not slept a wink last night.

This should be a GameDay thread.

 

100%.
So .... Disappointing.
Arrggg!

The only way I see Brisbane losing is if they do a Melbourne and sheet the bed on the big stage at the "G".

 And for that matter "attention" is coming and it will start Saturday and will not end....

It started during the year.
The good sides know how to diminish his impact.
The Lions will sit someone on him for sure.
Can't let a bloke like that wander around the ground doing what he wants.

If only Trac could lift his goal kicking accuracry above 50% we'd almost not lose any games...and he'd win the brownlow! 

Field kicking as well.
Same goes for Oliver.

They're both get ball, boot ball.
I realise that seems to be the game plan but a little more precision would be great.

Or Trac if he had not had to go forward. Going forward is like not playing to the Umps.

Or if Clarry and Viney weren't taking votes off him.

Awesome! Every person who attends a W match is worth 50 people attending a men’s match. I think. Maths is not my forte, but you get my point. 😊

Sounds like the American voting system.

I'm sure the boys at Sportbet will be liking there chops this morning, very few would have predicted Lochie Neale.

Would be nice to have coaches/captains do the voting but there is no chance of that happening.

Allowing gambling into the game was the beginning of the end.

I'm off again.
Bruce is about to fight.

Watch every week. The standard has improved out of sight this season.

It has.
Like 2 levels.

And FWIW.
Reckon the girls should have a spot on the main board instead of getting shuffled off to the back board.

Especially when it comes to goal kicking and delivery into the forward line

Clean quick hands through traffic and fast ball movement.
I've been impressed.
Skills and confidence have jumped with last years flag.
Stay fit and they'll romp in another one I reckon.

Should swap their coaching dept with the mens.
Love the way they play.

Let's face it it.
If Trac could kick he'd romp in a couple Brownlows.
His Achilles heal.

The girls are flying and playing some ripping footy.
The men should watch them.
