Hellish Inferno

All on board the reality bus

Yeah good point. We need some fresh legs to come in, would actually justify his omission well, to save a bit of face and bring him back in a few weeks for a deserved milestone

What an unfortunate name is Impey

Wow can't believe it, can't believe it...cannot believe it!

We seem a bit rattled and the Hawks brought it today. A bit of composure, clean it up in the second half and keep at it, then we should pull away. Need to respond and not drop the heads

Damn the Hawks are up for it today. Good news is so are we

Yep, so many of the issues are due to not having the horizontal band at the top of the site which used to show every game of the round at once, be clickable to get to the match centre if the game was live, or be clickable afterwards to get to the match report that included stats. So literally one click for all these results.

It's a mess. One of the issues that annoys me is the 'round centre' pop-up, that I assume is what they think sufficiently replaces the need to have clickable fixture/results at the top of the page. When you click on that pop-up each day of the round is on a separate tab, so first of all if you don't know what day the game is on that you're looking for you need to click on each tab to find it. But even worse is the scrolling function. When there is more than 2 games on a day you need to scroll down to find the right game. To do this there's an unbelievably thin red bar that is counter intuitive to use. I've seen interfaces where a thin scroll bar becomes normal thickness when you hover the cursor near it. Nah, not here. Bloody hopeless

Langdon got a 3 from one coach, similar to Clarry that got a 4 from one coach But in both cases the other coach didn't even have either of them on their list It shows how hard it is to actually assess value of players to a team

Update on AFL Player ratings. The dogs have some kind of midfield! An obvious imbalance compared to all other teams Whereas we're well repesented by every part of the ground

Oh yeah your're right! Haha gotta love that even though he voted all Demons, we still find a way to hate on him

Am I reading this right, but one of the coaches rated Langdon a 3, whereas the other didn't even have him on his list

https://thearcfooty.com/2016/08/09/joel-selwood-has-set-a-new-afl-free-kick-record/ Selwood now sits on 804 frees. Another 4 today, although thankfully he gave away 4 as well. Next on the list of current players is Marc Murphy on 499...and you guessed it, Dangerfield on 465

Every opposition team is well aware that any 50/50 will go against us and play accordingly, the award goes to... Charlie Spargo. There isn't a team in the league that could carry as many passengers as we had today & still be a contender. Not the end of the world. We win most weeks. Needed some more Constable Let’s hope the topping up with pensioners is now finished. We aren’t a contender. Time to concentrate on bringing in quality youth The margin flattered us. Melbourne controlled the game all day and could have taken it away from us in the first quarter with better accuracy. We were never in it. Cant get my head around the fact Close and Selwood got pinged for clear handballs but Gawn frequently threw it and never got called. What I hated the most about today was the clear contempt Melbourne had for our physicality. They took on the tackler in close just about every time, and with great success, got handballs out or crashed through where we should have been able to lock it in.

Duty of care

Yep, looking good right now. Wow, what a difference from the practice match v Dogs. This type of system works so well when every single player performs and stays in line. I think it's finally clicked, just took a little while to settle. I wonder how much is on Goody and how much on Yze and Chocco? Probably evenly shared I'd think

Geelong played like mercenaries, we played like a team

Oh how sweet

EAD Geelong

Geelong play such a boring game

May to hospital

I said this during the week, they clearly train to take advantage of umpiring and rules that can be manipulated
