Pederson the big body chf creating chaos and space. T Mac the mobile ff Weiderman the slight body high marking Forward pocket changing on ball with Gawn. Return to old fashioned structures.

Have laboured my way through tnis thread and wonder if I watch the same player. Hogan demands attention. Other sides recognise that. Top sides are better at double teaming or structuring to counter him. i cannot understand how when he is double teamed we still kick it to him. Someone else must be free . Where is our structure and game plan and specifically plan B when A is not working

I agree and wonder if the issues of pressure and the reaction are being addressed. From the moment the pre season camp which is supposed to address that issue, was canceled have we reminded the players that they believed they did not need it. What have they done to replace the "learnings " of that exercise? Maybe it's time to remind the players that this is TheVine pressure that finals bring. Win the next two and springboard from there. I am still very much in the tapering /peaking model where we have lost the close ones against good sides and now really need to beat them. Maybe the players know exactly how many big wins they have in them and are pacing themselves perfectly.

Thanks all for comprehensive cover. your efforts are really appreciated

Started this the other day and the site crashed and I lost it so I'll try again without reading the whole thread. I hope Goodwin is smarter than most. He does have more experience than most. I hope he understands tapering and peaking. We have shown that when we play our best we can beat anyone, and score heavily. We were 5 goals up at Cardinia park. If we play and win all these games by goals we become the hunted. We are now the chokers. Let the others concentrate on that. remind the players they refused the pre season mental toughness experience . We have maintained our % unlike last year and now limp into the eight to then produce our best for six or seven games. Too smart????

Can anyone tell me where Munro came from? And any details ?

Like some of this. Build over the already ugly Swan Street . Open up views over Punt rd and Goshs. Covered walk way beside rail line to the existing footbridge direct entry to the G . You can even wander through the trees if you wish. Land and air space in Richmond probably cheaper than East Melb.

Re my previous. oooppps. All you say is good. Although a walk from Richmond station to OUR club rooms ain't that hard Still looking forward to the ongoing discussion. May have jumped in a little early

I would have thought good engineering and design could enhance the view and amenity of the station while covering the tracks. Interesting to see how this goes. I'm a supporter

Hey wrecker that's definitely a worry. Can you provide more detail of what aspects constituted his toxicity? Maybe we can avoid that attribute and benefit from his other recognised strengths.

Surely gender defines no gender If bananas are both male and female surely they are gender enriched?

Perhaps we should position ourselves as the red and blue meat team. Hmmm perhaps some very astute placement on Master chef.

The cost of bananas per kilo is now still trending up at $1.50 having soared in Feb To $1.62

Perhaps we should be aiming higher. The cost of living index indicates that for the average daily intake requirement bananas are $0 .76 topped by oranges $1.76 apples $1.22 tomatoes $1.02 . of course beef $2.31and chicken $1.53 are leading The humble potato is $0.60

Not sure where this is leading. I am definitely not a supporter of Mirabella and her behaviour was abominable. However the law appeared sound when McGowan said in court she was not pushed as reported. i don't think she had a reputation to lose and would not have supported such a payout. As they say, "the only winners are the lawyers" and this would appear to be the case again.

Not sure that jurisdiction considers matters "less than beneficial to society" Not sure that's an adequate description of "Murphey"

I have a long standing relationship with lawyers from previous matters considers by the authorities to be less than beneficial to society. Having studied and worked in Industrial relations I have tried to redress that balance. Of course all activities have been parallel to my support for the demons so there may be some strange relationship that recognises Newtons immutable 4 th law

Thanks Bitter. i shall do my best to contribute but fear my sporadic attendance usually results in post hoc thought usually trumped by the more astute observer. However given the new levels of trumping achieved by POTUS perhaps there is hope for me.

Oh no while your summary includes most of the contributors I recognise, I am sure there are more in the audience with a reticence to step into the primal swamp that this thread inhabits. I myself have attempted to engage but my feeble efforts have received little attention. When placed against the wit or witless comments of the more erudite and reticulate, not to mention the obtuse or extreme rantings it is understandable. However it is the thread that detracts from the depressing and mundane that I found attracted me more than any other on this site. Please, please continue the eclectic and outrageous conversations. if required I will research and report banana price movements but would be much happier with wine and beer analysing, although I fear such a restricted topic would lead us all into a state of ruination

So what are the stats on frees for and against and is there any indication of where paid, ie forward,mid,or back. Also any comparison with other team totals.

Don't want every intimate detail but I will open this thread as the only likely source of any info. Don't live in Adelaide.

Happy to have Jack and other ex D's fortunes reported. Happier that our results are trending better. Have previously stated the significance of Ports performance against our and still think it appropriate.'

Having been a lifetime supporter I am used to disappointment, so I will again watch with great interest. This is a time when Hinckley will be exposed for his abilities in getting maximum performance from his players. If he does it Port may be the surprise packet. Watts performance will also expose Goody to an additional query over his judgement. Melbourne has momentum and despite the last two games failure was certainly on the improve. The list movements must continue the improvement or he will be seen as a fail. I support MFC and hope he doesn't. I want to support a successful team

Fine as long as he is correctly introduced as previous winner, Brownlow medalist, premiership player , coach of the team that kept no records of a drug regime. its a good thing others are keeping records.

Unfortunately we can never know if he was or if the drugs made him do it
