Return to Glory

A case in point: from memory, we overloooked Darcy Parish for Clayton Oliver. Now, Parish is a limited footballer and, in terms of raw talent, Oliver would be seemingly miles ahead of Parish. However, I've watched Parish lately and (whether you hate the Bombers or simply despise them) he has now improved at a rate of knots. Most of all, he's become a smart footballer who plays to his limitations and makes good decisions with ball in hand. The gap between the two players is much smaller than it was and I doubt i would have magined this two years ago. How can this be?

Get Caracella

Let's hope their recruiter doesn't watch football matches.

As much as I despise the Peptides, the decisions against them against Brisvegas were mindboggling. I.e. amongst others, the Andrew McGrath holding the ball decision in front of goal, the allowing one player to hand the ball to another from beyond the boundary for a shot at goal (that may have been the worst as it was a disregard of the actual rules of the game) and Shiel being grabbed around the neck clearly during a stoppage. There were several others. Wouldn't have changed the outcome but the umpiring was clearly advantageous to Brisbane. Probably the worst umpiring for the season and that's saying something.

Jinx

Losing last night was a disaster. An Essendon loss is a nice consellation prize.

We don't have the funds to get rid of Goodwin right now. However, we can definitely afford to offload Alan Richardson. Poor to terrible coach at StKilda and, as is a our way, we decide to pick him up as an assistant. Huge error. Meanwhile, smart clubs are looking for young, bright assistants with the mental acumen to genuinely analyse the systems of the opposition and, at the same time, develop systems that work to our strengths.I.e. a Blake Caracella who has shown what an effective assistant can do. I genuinely believe that this lack of off-field smarts has cost us two matches, Geelong and Brisbane. We take an eternity on game day to solve problems being thrown at us. Even taking into account last nights putridness, a good assistant would have us 5 - 3 going into winnable matches. In summary, [censored] off Richardson. You're akin to a double agent.

MFC - Inept since 1965

Previously we've found reasons for losses. Can't execute skills, wrong set up. First time for a very long time where I really don't think they (as a group) played for the club. Now that's got to be on the coach. Probably a 'ripper bloke' but it was there for all to see tonight.

Hello darkness, my old friend

Very, very good.

They could include Pauline Hanson and the Bachelor in Paradise cast and it still wouldn't be as bad as our footy

I agree. And yet I'm not entirley sure we have a choice. Tough decisions will need to be made. I'e Brayshaw, Viney, Salem. We're stuck with Lever. Work out how to get Josh Kelly to the club and go cap in hand to the AFL to help us lose Goodwin

Rebuild time. Rip that band aid off.

Bereft, soul-destroying...................fraudulent

He's been a disaster

Up there with our all time putrid performances.

For once can we also play with some instinct. Let's not deviate from the [censored] game plan

Nah, it's ok. He's a spokesperson for Visy also

Is there a period of expiry?

Well, that's a relief! ......................You're kidding right? So we get done for tanking, Carlton get done for salary cap and Hawthorn (who actually won multiple Premierships during that time) get a pass. The family club BS has always made me want to vomit by the way.

There's always a trail SWYL. Cash consistently being put in bank accounts by players themselves etc. And you only need the one whistle blower. And I don't get the 'everyone was doing it' bit. This was a club that won a series of Premierships with an all-star line -up. Clearly, not all clubs got the memo that you could cheat your [censored] off. And don't forget, meanwhile the VFL were giving Fitzroy the [censored] for being non- competitive.

Spot on WWS. Don Scott is an average conveyance but that has nothing to do with it. During the time of the alleged breaches he was someone within the club who held considerable influence. Investigate. If there's nothing there, so be it. Otherwise, there's no point in having an integrity officer whatsoever.

Don't believe that DJ
