This.

Interesting. What often happens in a corporate setting like this is that when the bloke who has done the hard yards internally is passed over, he goes somewhere else to get the promotion. If you thought you were ready for a CEO role, and obviously got close this time around, why would you hang around for 10 years until Pert retires? There will be fallout from this, no doubt.

And Hannan when he goes in there. I cringed on Monday when he got stuck on his right and kicked it like I would kick on my left. Awful stuff.

We are about 20-30% ahead of the teams we are likely to be competing with for one of the last couple of spots. Will be irrelevant, if we have enough wins we have enough wins.

Who cares? We will finish in the bottom half of the 8 and have an elimination final against someone like Adelaide, Hawthorn, Geelong, Collingwood or GWS, any of whom would smash us under finals pressure home or away. I'd even be terrified of playing North in those circumstances, given our history.

Typical shallow analysis. You clearly didn't bother going and finding the article I mentioned, so here it is: https://www.playersvoice.com.au/tom-bugg-im-not-who-you-think-i-am/#373wIODgRMwQ9ZXp.97 Last post on this to avoid further derailing

Read Tom Bugg's first person reflection about that incident on the Players Voice and tell me that again. Rance is an A grade f wit

St Kilda have had EIGHT MORE inside 50s.

Won't find this on the Collingwood BF board!

Christ, where have you been for the last 10 years??? Think some more of this comedy gold might have helped us all

Yeah well last week we played seven forwards too - Hogan, McDonald, Smith, Hannan, Melksham, ANB and Spargo too. That doesn't mean they are all there, all the time. Just like the defenders. Or are you suggesting we play seven defenders, seven forwards, and four blokes in the middle?

Hunt can't play forward (yet). He even struggles on a wing. Bringing him and Smith in means we're stuck with seven defenders, meaning Hunt or someone else is forced to play out of position. No need to do that when we've got perfectly good like for like replacements.

The risk is that they actually try too hard, which can be as bad as not trying hard enough.

Interesting that we, being Demonland, currently have him having a better year than Hibberd, Jetta, Harmes, Fritsch and ANB.

Well you got all the players right at least!

Hell of a lot of them were kicked from straight in front, 10-30 out, whether marked or on the run. Good signs

Sure does. And as you say, very different now!

The Bulldogs were up by that much on Friday night. No way was that the point my anxiety dropped off!

Check out the resis result that day - Darren Bennett, 6 goals, Sean Charles 4, Neitz 2. Could have used them in the ones.

There was a great moment where Petracca was walking between Oliver and Brayshaw back to the middle with his arms draped around them - real team spirit with those young guys especially. They know they are building.

Yes. He made one mistake, where he clearly thought he had a better reach at the ball than he did. Big deal. Did you see the next couple of times it came near him? He put them both about 15 rows back - it was clear that he learnt a quick lesson and adapted. He's going to be a dead set superstar for us. And he goes to my local coffee shop - been trying not to fanboy him but not sure how long I can resist.

Interesting that despite having the same average height, age and experience, we are on average 4kgs heavier.... Got some much more solid bodies which will bode well inside.

I think this is almost the funniest thing I've ever read on Demonland.

Massive news. It actually gives me great heart that he's leaving - he obviously thinks the club is in good shape and ready for the next phase of its existence, as opposed to feeling like he needs to hang around and make sure the rebirth is complete and stable.

Hell of a lot more expensive now than he was 8 weeks ago.... Going to be an absolute ripper.
