  1. Sling tackle by Parish not very Christian- like.
  2. Before the dawn???
  3. Jeez, that was a big shove on Hurley
  4. Buddy is a strange bird. Rarely takes a one grab mark. It's like he wants to tap it forward in the marking contest to grab it second time
  5. Shame Aliir re-signed recently. I like the cut of his jib
  6. It's in their DNA Jane.
  7. I believe the HFC annual profit matched their gambling profit last year
  8. Watch two idiots duel
  9. Would like Garry Lyon to write a follow up commenting upon Neeld's article
  10. Yeah, cause the game hasn't changed one iota since those days FMD
  11. Yes, Jesse Hogan is his one redeeming action
  12. Nice tribute video, check out his son singing Grand Old Flag at the end http://m.afl.com.au/video/2018-07-27/old-mates-pay-tribute-to-jordy-for-300
  13. Would be nice dc, but can't see him leaving the Boos
  14. Or Caracella might get a senior job
  15. It's not the first time that's happened to us or we've done it to others in the last few years. Talk is soooo cheap in football
  16. Really? Never heard of a player only missing 2 weeks with a broken leg. Miraculous.
  17. Sam Mitchell. Leaving Eagles at end of year to come back to Victoria
  18. Sure you can. Include different mixes to the situation each week, eg. Near the boundary, or from kick out, or goal needed from centre bounce with 30 sec left, or flooding the backline. Then the coaches give feedback on the spot. Use countdown clock with hooter siren
  19. So, why the f... don't they practice these scenarios at training? I said this on another thread. I've been to training a number of times over the last 12 mths and this is clearly not practiced. Defenders on forwards at the end of training (exhaustion) with 2 points up or down and heap the pressure on them with a real countdown clock. It's easy to talk about what went wrong, but they also need to practice. It's not like we haven't been in these situations in real games ?
  20. So could Zac Jones as a Swan. Think they'd rather keep him than trade for Turnover Tyson
  21. Yes OD, youth is wasted on the young.
  22. I quite like blueberries too Mr OD.
  23. Yes, the reality is we are in the 8 and a real chance at playing finals this year. That's a fact, not a shadow, a false gospel or getting all "moist". Some on here conveniently don't want to accept that we are as much a chance of finals as we are not. But if you wish to keep wallowing in your MFCSS then as you say, knock yourself out. I too have been around the block, have seen many false dawns, but no premiership. I'm realistic enough to see this list is in a good shape moving forward with a coach that is learning and growing with the team. I think we can probably agree to disagree. I'll leave it at that for fear of going off banana topic. Go Dees!
  24. I really wonder if you and WYL would actually enjoy sharing that beer Bub. Truly. Some on Land are fixated with the failures rather than the advancements we've made. That's the prevalent MFCSS. We are all disappointed at the losses, especially Sat night, but on the whole we still are a real chance at finals this year and certainly next year. Add Gaff or similar to a healthy list and there is much to look forward to. I am always optimistic about what we can do next week, next year. I hope. IMO what holds us back as a supporter base is the culture of negativity and the fall back into failure and blame. It's what I hear over and over from other footy following mates. You can choose to not expect much, or you can look forward to next week and be positive about what lies ahead. Let's enjoy the journey together, through the ups and the downs (nothing is perfect), but i honestly believe there will be more ups over the next 5 years. Rant over.
  25. Blake Caracella. Out of contract at end of this year.
