Coach with Aging Team Wants Shorter Quarters
Not sure it would be much different. Gee I dislike this guy. I mean really dislike. I think if he ran into a burning building to save an old lady and two dogs in a highly flammable suit, I would still be [censored] that he left the cat behind. It's that kind of dislike. He is a [censored].

Rd 19 vs Gold Coast in Darwin
Yep, been looking forward to it for a while. Only lucky thing is I almost booked rooms at Royal Pines last night for the family but decided to wait a few extra days. I feel for those who outlayed on flights in good faith though.

Mark Williams to the Pies?
Didn't he wait 12 months till his contract was up?

Time to panic?
I don't mean to be flippant, but I shudder to think how many behinds we would kick with "4 quarter effort". What is the record? Opposition fullback would end up with a lisfranc fracture!! P.s. would love better goal kicking.

Time to panic?
Always found if you make it an abstract number like say, 4.32%, people think you put more scientific rigour into working it out!!

What, aren't you the guy who started this thread about panicking?

Mornington Peninsula could be our version of Geelong's lifestyle factor
Wow, what a strange response, especially to someone who seemed to be supporting you - or at least giving your suggestion some credence and not bloody mindingly dismissing it.

TEAMS: Rd 16 vs GWS
No science to it at all, just a gut feel. B Brown named as emergency, rumours from some that Brown was going to play this week, and Max might need a rest. Would be great if GWS brought the lumbering Mumford thug in to combat Max and he missed last minute on wet day and we got a mobility over match with Jackson and Tmac in the ruck and around the ground.

Fair about the 2016 draft, though maybe a bit stiff on Hannan. But the 2016 trade period was pretty fruitful for us with the experience of Lewis helping get us to where we are, and an AA back man in Hibberd who is still going strongly.

CHANGES: Rd 16 vs GWS
I have a slightly different view on Ben Brown and what his inclusion will provide. Now that he is getting some fitness back and his work rate up and back the ground he will demand attention from good defenders and they will not be able to zone off so safely. That in itself provides a variation of pressure. Attention on him will free up others with a lesser defender and can help disrupt the opposition defensive zone which will allow the smaller defensive forwards to create more havoc as there is less support for their defence. If the opposition try to push more numbers back to rebalance this we get an outnumber around the middle. I think the structure will be better. Everyone will still have to apply manic effort and application for it to work as always, but I think it will work quite well, especially once it's settled after a few games. At the moment I don't feel the opposition defence is too unsettled, Tmac roams, they hold Fritta and we have to scrap for the rest of the goals. It may be working enough but it is not optimal. Ben Brown can change the dynamic and help others get into the game. He is also an accurate kick, which would be very welcome.

I normally love your work Ethan, but really struggling for context with this one?

What they're saying down at Windy Hill
For me it is usually a beer, and if it's not its a good substitute for what I was meant to be getting ?. I try to avoid the kitchen before lunch....

TEAMS: Rd 15 vs Essendon
