Return to Glory

Hard one to beat bb.

Do it for Ric Charlesworth

Hasn't the Weed timed his run to perfection. Well done young man.

Precisely Biffen. And tired.

If I can quickly give my 'hindsight is 20 - 20 vision' take on today's game. As I was leaving the ground last week I turned to the bloke next to me and said that it was a flattering scoreline and some of the things we did would fall straight into the Swans hands. I said it after Petracca took a mark 30 - 40 out and, rather than take a set shot, put up a dinky kick to nowhere. So we went from playing against the most amateurish team in the comp to playing seasoned pros. In retrospect, Gold Coast was the worst team we could have played.

It's innate with Oliver. If I'm completely honest, Trac doesn't have it and I suspect he may never do. Hope I'm wrong. I may have similar thoughts about Hogan but keep it to yourself.

If you had told me two and a bit years ago that Oliver would be our smartest footballer I would have laughed. Unfortunately he's the dux in a class of dumb arses.

Hard to know sometimes.

No, just allergic to the footy

Really? I have, at least twenty times this decade alone. Go Dees.

How many times does Sydney rope - a - dope us?

We can talk about individual players but this is as much Goodwin and his coaching team's inability to react and adapt.

And dare I say it, cue the limp.

I'm therefore going to suggest Lou and Edna.

Surely this is the full stop of this thread. Gold.

Ever the pessimist but this feels like a 50 - 50 match

Let's simplify this - broke a players jaw in an off the ball incident. Therefore manifestly worse than Bugg's. Bugg got 6 weeks. 8 to 10 would be right.

Let's just beat the team that beat Sydney Swans in Sydney before we look at the three after that. Feel like we've done this before.

Isn't that a shame.

I was thinking the same thing. Remember for a long time when they always finished second. I prefered that.

Cameron Ling sounds worse than he looks.

Whispering, I'm reading your post with a picture of Allen Jakovich right of screen. The grind of footy is clearly not for some regardless of talent.

Makes sense that they would.

What they're saying in West Lakes? Same old shite - 'let's put him in a barrel, put the barrel in a disused bank and claim his social security'.

You've got to acknowledge how mentally tough you have to be to play at the highest level. And we are merely armchair experts. In the last quarter I was watching the game and groaning uncontrollably like an imbecile. The family moved to another room (I'm assuming it was the groaning and the array of idiosyncrasies when the pressure gets too much)
