Return to Glory

I'll preface this by saying that I'm related to Luke Parker. That said, you've got to be kidding BBP. Hunter is vastly inferior to Luke by any measure you care to make. Most importantly, he has that will to win that very few have.

Dazzle, was at local footy and had a peek at the score early on. Think it was 2.2 to zip. Felt we might get a touch up. GCS appears to be a club without soul. Great if you live on the GC and want to watch a high standard match but that's about it. Yeah, raid away. That Sam Flanders looked like he goes alright. No idea where he sits in their pecking order.

Could we have something a little special on our hands with Disco Turner?

It's actually possible to be disappointed but not choose to post negative post after negative post on a game day thread. Everyone here wants the team to improve. It's not a case of 'accepting mediocrity', it's just choosing not to act like a pill when the players don't perform to your liking. The club owes us nothing but gives us great enjoyment win, lose or draw. In summary, lighten up. It's boorish.

From Bomber Blitz A whole round-table of Hollywood scriptwriters doing an all-nighter couldn’t have scripted that more perfectly. Loser club doing loser things. That was comedy gold!!!

Too many wallow in misery here Clint.

Bummers lose from the last kick of the match. There is that little cheer up

You're. Irony

Not quite getting what you're trying to say. Maybe say it another four times

I hope you'll also praise him if we win?

Credit where credit's due. Billings has been good so far tonight

Completely agree BBO. Masterful.

I've recently read 'Things Fall Apart' by Chinua Achebe. I bought it, convinced it would detail our 2024 season. Alas, it was about African colonization; not a single reference to forward structure, 'play Jeffo now' or 'Goody must go'. Pointless.

I thought so

You should read 1984. Or at least look up Thinkpol. They weren't huge on views contrary to their own. Pickin up what I'm puttin down?

I may be in the minority but I'd take Waterman in a heartbeat if we could get him.

Yeah, I tend to start looking at the draft too QD. Haven’t done my research (other than hoping for no more St Kilda offcuts)

I'd consider resting TMac, Woey and Billings. Sparrow, Kolt and Jefferson in. Put Petty back.

Met the coaching staff at a Casey match v Port at Franga. At the time, wondered whether they needed at least one coach a little younger, less samish

Reckon that's pretty spot on

Tough loss. Great opportunity however to bring Jefferson in to work in tandem with JVR for the rest of the season. I know there are those who want to keep him in a humidicrib until he's 26...but now's the time to give him a crack.

Essendon

We are blooding the kids and we're leading at half time

DD, other than the end of quarter miss, he's been very good

It was going to be hope for the rest of the season Murdoc. I'd like to change it to 'hope I've still got a little Scotch left from last week'
