Return to Glory

Sometimes Hunt kicks like an under13 player

KC, I held high hopes for Oskar Baker and Toby Bedford at the start of the season but the knock on Bedford was that he didn't get enough of it. How's he tracking? Could he play that high forward role eventually for the Dees?

Beautiful result.

So Hawthorn has 80, 000 members but as soon as they start losing very few of them turn up. To be fair, the dogs they registered as members aren't allowed direct entry into the ground. Pass me the tissues.

This match is like choosing between a [censored] sandwich and a fart in a space suit.

I suspect part of St Kilda's problems aren't coach related but having an abundance of smug twats running the show. Simon Lethlean really did get a free kick in front of goal after screwing up (pun intended) in AFL admin and his recent 'if we keep improving' comments (some interpreted as earnest) were, for mine, the comments of a total vanker keen to show who's boss.

Just of late, Petracca seems to have developed a footy IQ. I've been negative about him for a little while now but there are small signs in regards to getting into the right spot, making smart decisions and not trying to do too much in possession.

I wanna party with you Captain Upbeat.

Not our problem. Got enough of our own.

Just talking to a mate about Margetts. WC must punch the sky when they see their number one ticket holder is umpiring.

The Chemist Cup

Not entirely au fait with Melbourne's broader coaching staff. What I can say (for what it's worth) is that I have wandered over to a number of Casey quarter and three quarter huddles and Rawlings comes across as a very good communicator.

Rubbish. Besides, there's a team in Swaziland that's very, very bad.

There were actually some very good signs today imo. Yes, Spargo and Garlett were dismal but May and Lever did well given time away from the game. And, really, Gawn was the best player on the ground. We are missing another key forward but it's far from hopeless.

I'm beginning to think that Goodwin isn't the right coach going forward. And by going forward I mean right now.

You did see the Neeld period right?

Whatever result, clear that May and Lever will make us a considerably better team.

They had the number 1 pick (based on where they are now) but traded it out for Liam Stocker. Stupidity.

Unless it's for Bentleigh

I needed that.

Why waste a good stick.

You beat me to the punch. That was a truly pathetic performance from Oscar McDonald tonight. I can understand lack of talent but that was as soft as butter throughout.

So I'm watching Sydney v Geelong and what can only be described as a procession of free kicks to Geelong. 9 - 3 at quarter time and at least 5 of them were 50/50 calls. I know we had a thread about umps the other day but ffs, these armchair rides make some games close to unwatchable (I say as i look to watch the second quarter)

Time for the club to be pragmatic and play the kids. Manage those players with injuries to the point of putting them in cotton wool. There are two standout players in this years draft and second last wouldn't be the worst thing for us.

Can't help but think that it's a done deal and he's the next Blues coach.
