Return to Glory

Give Van Rooyen a game

So I'm watching the first quarter and Jack Darling gets bear hugged by the opposition right in front of the controlling umpire. An umpire miles away had to pay it. How on earth do professional umpires in perfect positions manage to sheet their dacks so often at KP?

That disallowed Rioli goal was classic Kardinia Park BS

Can't be done

I was going with the kimchi and wagyu beef which I find easier to spill over the front of the shirt.

Thanks BAMF. I'm off to Korean tonight. Any expertise re what to order?

BBO, I'm too lazy to work out whether that's a good thing for us or not

A multi million (billion?) dollar operation and footage that looks like it was shot with my old Nokia

Agreed. They just made that up.

That's it Cassiew. We had to become the hunter and take the game on with a bit of dare. Best I've felt after a match since the Premiership......until I read the comments that told me we were doomed for all eternity.

It was a win. Would you prefer they saw it as a loss?

You write in absolutes. I'll say this; an average forward line (and yes it is right now) can look a helluva lot better when we take the game on up field.

Says who? That's just garbage. We may not win it, but if we play to our best, there's every chance.

We must have got flogged based on all the comments with the same sentiment as this. We are up to our eyeballs in this Premiership race. Confidence and momentum are a wonderful thing. As is the fact that we have three undeniable champions in our team. My God there are some sad sacks here.

I'd call you a conspiracy nutter but that would also make me a conspiracy nutter. I genuinely think the AFL would be keen to give both teams a leg up.

Cripps should get weeks. If he doesn't then the comp isn't fair dinkum.

Bravery is my middle name. If it makes you feel any better Lazie, my daughter called me psycho last night as she could hear my madness from another room.

Ok, what I will say is lighten up. You go on this almighty spiel that (certainly to me) invited opinion but then ended it with a note of ‘no correspondence will be entered into’. Here’s a tip, don’t post if you don’t wish others to respond. I’m sorry that I reminded you (in jest) that this is a site where we exchange opinions. Clearly, you’re a sensitive soul. I’m also not going to demand that no one responds to this post, good, bad or indifferent. For what it’s worth, my take isn’t so much about the personnel on the field but that we lack the absolute dare of last year. We’re looking for that perfect play but lacking that natural instinct that took us to the top. All is not lost.

Good thing this isn't a forum

Absolutely spot on. No dare.

So many passages where we played without dare. Therein lies the difference. The number of times they rope-a-doped and streamed out from the back was embarrassing.

As already mentioned, they do Judd - Visy like deals but with wives and girlfriends. Prior to that, it was land deals with Costa.

I love when Brisvegas play the self appointed barometer, Rhys Mathieson.
