Rob Mac......

I noticed that God but think we should try to change his mind. Firstly Chaplin doesn't seem very egotistical, worshiping his wonderful "game plan" like Neeld did, and to some degree Goodwin. It's great to have a good game plan but football is largely an improvisational art; players need freedom to choose the best on field option in each unique situation. Too often, the past 4 years, players missed good opportunities to opt for the predictable "game plan" option. I think Chaplin will strike the best balance between preparing the boys to play, educating them on strategy, while still giving them freedom to do the best thing in the moment.

I've a very good feeling about Chaplin coaching us. Love how he carries himself and seems to effect others. He had our backline humming; moved to coaching forward line and forwards seemed to get a bit better while backline got worse (plenty of reasons why, ...but still). Also bad usually happens when we get someone from Collingwood. I'm much more comfortable choosing Chaplin over Buckley

I'm apprehensive about very long performing contracts. The player/performer/artists life often changes when they know money's rolling in for years and they often loose incentive to perform as brilliantly and risk all to be incredible.

Freo vs Suns; Corey Wagner is one of Freos best so far!?!?! Couldn't believe it. Didn't he play for us years and years ago?

Our energy was so great, I'm very reluctant to change anything. I guess Sharp out for Viney.

Fritta even laid several tackles. Came on like a steamtrain.

Wow, such spirit! Never saw the song sung with such gusto. If we can keep this vibe going we can go anywhere.

That quarter was almost like a game of footy broke out.

2.44am here in Los Angeles stayed up to watch game and WatchAFL says "no content available" 👺🤬

Interesting post. I just thought my iphone battery lasted longer when its screen was less bright. ?

I find dark background more relaxing on the eyes and probably improves battery life a bit

It wasn't clear after the '21 Premiership.

If he has a bad day he might B flat ( Bb )

I didn't find ANBs speech, but I HATED seeing him in the Crows jumper. 🙁

Thanks Watson. I'd already read that article, thought it had to be something bigger than Ginnivan just posting "see u in 14 days" on Brodie Grundys' post game instagram page. Just silly banter; Analogous to "all duck, no dinner" though less taunting.

Could someone please kindly forward me the Ginnivan 'social media post" that started this Port/Hawks friction. Can't find it anywhere. I'm overseas and would appreciate a DM, PM or whatever they're called. Thanks very much.

During Heeneys speccie, did you see Giants #44 Jack Buckley deftly grab Heeneys arm and raise it to protect Heeney from hitting the ground hard?!! WONDERFUL duty of care for the other guy from Buckley! I've never noticed a Collingwood player do that for an opposition player.

Guess I value ANB more than most here. His running gives us an extra player at the contest so often, or someone positioned to receive. Improved his disposal. Draft picks usually take time to become good if they ever do. Too many good players let go for too little lately imho.

I agree with ALL of the above. Good points though were ANB elevating to a higher level and Windsor emerging! Rivers was good.

I didn't know that Moonshadow, and sorry to hear it. I'm a huge fan of the condition Burgo had our players in

Well I'd like to get him back

Zero hanger said the gps speed ratings of all AFL players in every game show that Kade Chandler has hit the fastest speed in the AFL this year @ 35.2 kmh.

I closely watch all set shots and guess their accuracy. In at least one, Pettys eyes were darting all around the stands while nervously spinning the ball, wiggled it from side to side while walking in, certain to miss. He was FREAKING OUT, possibly about social consequences, not calmly focusing on the goal, ball and what he had to do. But with the right mindset and focus there's a chance he could turn this around quickly, especially with the appropriate influence of someone he greatly respects.
