I just think it’s so broken and discombobulated that no one knows definitively what the judicial process is so it safer to hand it over the the lawyers to litigate the clubs out of any blame and I can imagine the effect it has on the ‘boys club’ sentiment. All just arze - covering. whoop whoop

🍆🍆

Can you explain your second paragraph a little more please.

Unfortunately our forwards are always under so much pressure to execute cleanly because of how the ball comes in.

Sorry, gender equality in high level management positions.

Did anyone else notice how dazed and confused big Harry looked singing the song with the team? Bloke looks like he’s got 12 pints onboard.

This will be a fascinating watch if it’s true that Laura Kane has intervened here and forced the MRO hand. A lot of gender optics along with a new top dog stamping her brand and then listening to the crickets because nobody will be game to argue. I’m not trying to offend with the above - it’s just accurate.

Nah, can’t have that. Attempted spoils that miss the ball and that end up in front-on contact are frequent and rarely end up with a player knocked out. Maynard knew exactly what he was doing. They will grade it careless but that turning of the shoulder was meant to impact Angus. If was a body shirtfront and Gus got up and played on there would be no case to answer. The fact he copped it right in the face and got taken out and was KO’d has to result in a suspension.

Might be time for bed

Lots of big questions there to be fair mate but all very valid. No doubt we have the midfield mix for at least three or four more years -maybe five of peak performance. Unfortunately Max might only have two or three years and beyond that where are we? We all know that Max is more than just a Ruckman and anyone filling his shoes will need gigantic feet. In the forward line - well this is the point of this thread - it’s not like assistant and when you look at the the key pillars in the back you have Jake Lever and Steve, May and Maisy is almost you know maybe one or two more years so God, it’s it’s hard to work out.

Yeah look, I think I like your line of thinking and pretty much that’s the reason we why we got Lachie Hunter in on that wing but it just hasn’t been enough of a strength. But on topic… where do the goals come from after the midfield lock it in?

How faaarrked was that! 🤬

To be fair, that’s the concern for me, is that Petrarca and Oliver are both known for poor disposal, but yet you know 50-50 pass it to each other so ‘where’ is it in the game plan does this provide a positive for our team?

I get pretty confused with our game plan seemingly not reaping the rewards of our CB. Oliver had close to NFI tonight. If that was his role - we’re stuffed.

I feel for you all as I’m feeling. That was a missed opportunity.

Hey ‘M’ not a bad call.

Prefacing this with the fact I’ve had a few of a variety. But FMD, this is an absolute blight on the front half of our game. The massive effort we apply behind that phase isn’t to be questioned - even the defence provided by the small forwards. But the entry is quite plainly ABSOLUTELY [censored]! We are wasting our best chances of winning Cups with poor recruiting and trading to keep our forward line the same age as the rest of the team. Data below proves this. But seriously I can’t help but feel we’ve underinvested in our forwards. Was it hanging onto Weids hoping the kid would come good? Was it giving Tmac a long and expensive deal after his 53 goal heroics in 2018 that changed our list strategy? But… ….maybe It’s our game plan finally coming undone. ‘Contest and Defence’ Goody says… Offence anybody? You simply shouldn’t go within goal range as much as we do and yield such a well below par result. PS: posting this at 3 qtr time so still hoping we get up but to be fair we should be in front enough to ice the game - bar for our forward half game. Go Dee’s! 🔴🔵💥

6 beers in the first qtr. This isn’t sustainable. 🥴🥴

Need to win so Gus can get the time to heal.

Smith to the backline.

Lower the friggin eyes boys!

Far out. these umps have NFI

Elbow by JVR will be looked at
