Return to Glory

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)

Down at the Cattery

There's no other team that I hate more than Geelong. I hate the players who play for free kicks, I hate their coach who is constantly in 'I can't believe it' mode, I hate the smug straight out of 'Deliverance' spectators and I hate the ground which allows three members from other clubs. Have I made myself clear? Time to win.

And when you consider they let in 12 supporters from other clubs to watch matches down there.

What's he got to complain about? He gets kissed on the dick down Kardinia Park.

I saw that.

If we picked up Bedford it would mean Dion Johnstone's future would be under threat I would have thought. Dion needs to get a move along.

Wishing you a long, successful career Harry.

Over 80,000 at the MCG with a top two spot up for grabs. If you can't get up for that then there's a big problem.

He has the physical attributes but I'm not sold on his footy smarts atm.

That made me puke. FFS -He'll be on Bachelor next. I don't think Trac is going to split the atom any time soon so where are the club's advisers.

Who knew that you could put Mark Neeld's game plan on a plate.

At the end of the day, he's not Dwayne Russell.

Got to admit, I've been a little pessimistic about Gus ever becoming a very good player for us. Looks like I could be wrong. Hope so. Today was a real step forward.

The three-years-away dream - Son of a gun, Kobe Farmer in tandem with Charlie. I've lost it but it's possible.

First goal - Clean hands in the contest.

Gut feeling - Charlie has the wherewithal to succeed at this level and will be one of the success stories for the Dees in 2018.

My understanding is that he's talented. Dad's level? Don't know.

Would love an update. Over 6 months since my last semi - desperate post. Any news 'Landers?

Sausage sizzles with a vegan option.

You may well be right Redleg. I worry for Gus. I'm not entirely sure why but I connect his concussion situation with Jack Trengove's injury issues. They're not the same, I know, but it niggles away, perhaps irrationally so.

If he did get a run (not sure he will) I'm wondering whether Goodwin would consider assigning him an out an out run with role? If you're short of a run and a little down on confidence it's not the worst thing to have to do...imo

Put BBO on to Toast of London. If you're into twisted degenerates who constantly fluck up, you may enjoy it.

The bit where it pulled into the station. Not kidding.

Might just do that. Thrilled to have this kid. Cannot have enough players who hate losing. Confident he falls into that category.
