Left Foot Snap

Good to see Corey Wagner getting a run.

Good luck to him.

Hope he's not offended by being left out again.  Do we really want to hurt him?

Is everyday Father's day for you Dstone?

Then don’t. Simples.

I was appealing to PF to give up on the whole Grundy should still be with us thing because it’s pointless. This I know. I also know that it wasn’t as a result of the MFC [censored] up. Fact. Anyways it’s something that’s not worth discussing with me so 👋 

I'd like to know the Grundy story?

Robbie ... obviously.

Sadly he played at a time when the Demons were deplorable.

Even sadder was his premature death.

They had Ron Barrassi at number 1.

Hard to argue with his record and all.

Had really good things to say about Robbie though.

I'll second Isaac Quaynor. Wish we had him.

I'm serious the only way you can affect the team is voting with your feet. If your not happy with the footy club turn away at your droves. 2 players who I hope never play for the club again are Billings and Schache if they play a game again I'm not going, I'm watching them on the couch.

I must have missed some full moon crazy solstice thing again.

Seriously, settle down.

There were about 16 MFC AfLW training.

Some first drills involved capture of ribbon.

They moved the ball with the emphasis on forward structure.

Goal kicking, then 5 minutes of play each way. They bibbed up. Hore in control, setting standards. Coach Stinnear matched up to Taylor, teaching her about the body work and positioning needed as a defender. Ivey was amazing, great talent, good forward craft and has the ability to hit goals. Purcell went through some physio test, then joined the team for the sims. Powerful movements and skills. Mithin was full of leadership qualities and looking fit and strong, Lampard and Bannan showing skills and experience. Goldrick ready to go. Fitzsimon quick mover, Zanker clean hands and getting some goals off, 1 step.

The standards were very good, they trained quite extensively.

Turner was down with a trainer. Successfully ran a few laps at pace, was in footy boots, seemed to have ticked a box.

Welcome back Kev.

Darcy Moore, Sam Taylor, Isaac Quaynor and Keidean Coleman for me (can you tell I used to play backline?)

With that delivery, yes!

When I first heard he had a knee issue it cast my mind back to Luke Molan who did an ACL, collarbone and got concussed in a single contest.

Wasn't that getting off the bus at his first training session??

The selling of a home game to Alice Springs always f…s our season. We could easily drop that to Freo. It’s basically a home game for them. 

How exactly is it basically a home game for them? 

A team from the seaside city in WA, which is further away from Alice than Melbourne. Hardly their backyard!

Stole my thunder 

look at the recruiting since our flag, we have 2 ex dogs Hunter & Shache & lions Fullerton  @ Casey, ex saints who can’t pick and we handed the swans Grundy & Jordan for a song who are killing it and continue with trying to turn defenders into fwds 

Footy eh!

Like I've previously said I'm completely embarrassed with the performance tonight no excuses.

I will hold off on the premature "Not a contender talk".

I will reserve my judgement until after the next month of Football.

I reckon 15 wins will get you in the top 4 this year as teams are knocking off each other in and around the 8, so there is still plenty to play for but tonight's result is alarming non the less.

Our greatest mistake was made at the end of 22 with the recruitment of Grundy when we should have pursued and placed our resources into a Powerhouse Forward.

Which one?

Is this the prompt to call him Juice Jefferson, after your previous full forward love child?

I assume he meant to say fruiton - a bed made out of fruit, which I assume he sleeps on at night because that's just the kind of thing I'd expect a guy like him to do.

 

Now that's a banana lounge!!!

Probably worthy of an entry into the No T$ B$ thread.

This year I have got Kayo to work reasonably. A wise person told me to update my Google Chrome and now it works without the spin of death. Picture quality is not as good as 7, but that is a small price for no Brian. 

I watch all games on Kayo now as the picture is markedly better the 7 HD channels. Same commentators though 🫤

In Brisbane so maybe connection related.

Saints rumoured to have made a $1.5m per year offer for Weitering

Should have been the Dogs after trading JUH

I'd pay that for Weitering.

I'm looking at the Norf score and, regardless of the myriad of issues, they should not be this bad. There's a couple of players who do not give a stuff and in just about any other team would be dropped for lack of effort. Zurhaar plays like a bloke marking time until recruited by a big club. He's not alone. Pathetic.

Terrible game.

I can’t see Yze surviving the next 2 years regardless of how good a coach he is. They haven’t hit bottom yet but it’s coming 

Can we rebrand the leftover merchandise from Ninthmond to Northmond?

Yeah I didn't mind Deakyn to be honest. 

Actually surprised we didn't give him a go. The games I watched of him at VFL level he seemed consistent and I thought with him being a running defender he could have been a good one two punch alongside Bowey.

He was also pretty composed and measured down back.

I remember one of the games I watched he completely shut down Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti and i thought that was going to be the next step into AFL level.

Won Casey's best and fairest last year but was unfortunately still delisted. Coaches obviously think very differently to us nuffy fans.

I was surprised we didn't persist a little longer.
