IRW

A technique borrowed from the centre bounce where the Opposition mid field just rove to Max. It makes sense. Things are going to be harder all over the ground this year. I dare say for the first time in decades coaches have been putting work into the Dee's over christmas

Kill me now

As long as the backs are unsettled ( no Salem or Lever) TMac stays. But he looks to be on his last legs ( actually it's written on his face) But Weideman? It's not April first yet!! You can't be serious, he leads well and kicks it ok as well but you have to catch the ball ;it's part of being a forward. His body on body work in a pack makes Wattsy look like a brute and if someone is even looking at him he gets the fumbles

No it doesn't , you can count the times she waits for about a minute then points out why BThas just said something completely incorrect ,showing he's learnt nothing about the game since he retired. It was the second best bit of the grand final. It's like pencilling in the goal kickers in the footy record

Geez what did Dogga do wrong?

Don't say that, David King won't be able to sleep

I was obviously being flippant re Neita but don't dispute TMacs importance. You havnt noticed I say I hope to see a full season from him. At present we can carry Weid...or...we have to carry Weid

No you missed my point Tom's form dropped off dramatically just when he was being touted as AA full back.. it was later he was moved forward . Possibly not even the same year. For a time I thought he was better than the 2nd forward he was being called. He could clunk marks in a pack without having to leap In following years he has carried foot and leg injuries and as a result has a history of not being able to complete a season at his best. There does seem to be a confidence issue as well and you can often read it on his face. I think his best is way way better than anything Weid has shown and hope he gets a full year in the team before the younger Weid finally catches a few and kick some goals ....in 2023

Which is why I wrote about a " full season" ..that's been his problem since he was headed for AA Full back back in the 90's(?) Then his form suddenly collapsed until they had to move him forward..... and the pattern continues.

Yeah I concede that ( I'm a fan of TMac) but he seems to almost take a mark,almost kick it over the player on the mark when he does get one, almost get the ball in a contest.. I'm pretty sure he was following instructions though and his shepherd goal in the g/ f is why he's way better than Weid If Weids excuse is his confidence I reckon it's a genuine issue for both the McDonald brothers

Unfortunately David Neitz could make a comeback and overtake TMac as well as push Weid out of a contest. I hope TMac can string one complete season together myself

When all is said and done.....

Either that or Hawkins is no Steve Waugh when it comes to sledging. He looked a bit angry when he ( and the rest of the Geelong team) let Max mark uncontested in the final 30 seconds of round 23 No sledger, no emotional control and none to smart imo

Not enough opposition supporters hate us for them to qualify yet. Opposition coaches will actually be putting more work into the backline ( ours and theirs) and over Christmas and still backing their own midfield to break even.

"Without Gawn barely a top 8 side " Gold It's about time we were so good that they started saying stuff like that. I think we might have them rattled

Poor Kelli, shes never been the same since the " little master" retired. Actually she's become more painful

I once saw he glide down the David Neitz 50 in front of the Members and had no idea where he'd come( wizard) from then watched him drop the ball onto someone's chest right in front of the goals. Wattsy spent a career calling for the ball free on the flank but they ignored him. LJ just appeared and the ball would come along for the ride. 100 games would have been enough for footy immortality. Bloody Mark Neeld could bully him into the rehab room but took away his mentor kept him free from the drink. And people criticise Bails!!

You are correct of course but gee.....he's still my pick

LJ hands down

I am not sure where this started or where it's going but let's just say that BT is worse than either Harry Beitzal or Rex Hunt . Commentators have use by dates even when start out as a fresh take on the game,. We tire of them but the boys club keeps them until they go to jail or get sprung in a lane with their pants down. But BT? Commentates of pre prepared cheats sheets and still gets most things wrong! Daisy is on the boundary to quietly clean up his crepe a minute or two later

Kozzie on Dunkley . If that didn't win Choco's one percenter for the day I' d be amazed

Yeah righto but that not what the Spud said...he said you need to be looking at the goals. Nothing about options or the man on the mark. He reads everything off a pre prepared cheat sheet anyway, I think he went to point 5 when he should have read out number 6. The first four are what he says when he's variously decreeing where the kicker should aim for.

If BT said it then it's probably incorrect unless he gets someone else to do the research for the cheat sheets he uses to pad out his attempts at commentary.

That would take another three years...just long enough for the Pies to get there and be beaten after starting nominal favourites.

You be looking at masks the wrong way Faulty, they are a fashion item ..mix and match with shirt and socks or even knickers if you're a lady off to the nightclub to meet a new friend...the final gradual unveiling would be excellent. But then I'm old with a vivid imagination .( smile) No doubt there is a hot weather advantage though,my Maleny friends keep asking questions and one came down here for 3 months to care for her sister and found it eye opening ( to say the least)
