@hardtack Converting the book to a movie would be quite the task. I feel like they'd have to leave a fair portion of the book to the wayside I won't go into detail but if you do get a copy to read, you'll probably see what I mean Many of the reviews of the film describe it as a Dark Comedy but also as Epic Sci-fi, which I'm thinking will suit your taste! Anyway, how are holding up with your treatment?

As a collective (simplified) Our senior players well down on their best Their senior players had a good day Our youngsters had an off day Their youngsters had a good day Now, if we put up that sort of performance against a good team, heaven knows what the margin might have been Against Essendon, it's enough to give them a chance at victory and they duly took it Sure, we can move on, but there's a lot we can learn from the loss It's starts with turning up, ready to play (against any opposition) An eye-opener for King, but it's probably good that he's seen things early

Butters coach would be the most annoyed There's a game to be won and Butters is tempting fate arguing with an upmire over a decision What a fool

Andy Weir's 'Project Hail Mary' is fabulous and could well go down as an all time classic (certainly in the sci-fi genre) A recently released movie, based on the book, has already grossed half a billion dollars!

Enough with the congregate round! Rory won the Masters again! Is he the most universally liked sportsperson going around? Great to watch with his attacking style

We had a bad day at the office yesterday. But we've also seen the other side of the ledger against the Saints, Blues & Suns Nonetheless, yesterday was very disappointing With the Demons it's maybe 'expect the unexpected' The Senior players have to bring it because if they don't, we can't expect the young and/or the inexperienced players to win us games. It's too big of an ask Our inexperienced players are learning how to play, at AFL level. Any player can be critiqued, but who's leading the way? We need Bowey, Rivers & Viney back, asap

What about all the unforced errors (turnovers) 138 so far Edit (4 minutes later) 155 (turnovers)

The young players are not the issue.* All of them need a few pre-seasons & 60-80 games under their belts but more importantly, they need the senior players to lead the way Which was sadly lacking yesterday (senior players output) I counted up to at least 10 experienced players who were well below their best The danger pre-game was complacency and whether King could read what might get delivered Let's face it, we starting having these no-show-up games a few years ago with arguably, a much better team But even the best teams have off days (Bulldogs yesterday as well) Steep learning curve ahead with lots of ups & downs. We just need to stay ahead in the win column *Even the great Chris Judd could only average 18 possessions per game in his first 68 matches (3 years)

What an opportunity hey? 4 & 1 staring us in the face ... a win and we might be a contender (maybe) A loss and it's another re-start Seize the day!

Bang bang ... bang?

If they are dumb enough to think that a caretaker coach could work then yeah, they'll sack Voss early Caretaker coach - 2 or 3 wins. New game plan? Good luck! End of season (or near the end) is a far better scenario (for Carlton) And the caretaker coach might mirror Voss anyway. After all, their whole FD would be geared towards playing a certain way

Won't do them any good. They lack the talent to play today's new AFL standard. Caretaker coach won't help either. Too much is set in stone in footy clubs these days And the Blues are doing what we used to do ... Bomb it in long, time after time. Dumb football. Turnover- City A new coach needs a year to turn it around (or at least the whole off season) Our sport has become like the NFL in that regard (not like soccer) And the NFL teams generally wait until seasons end to sack their coaches. Black Monday they call it
