Left Foot Snap

Thanks for the effort Deespicable, good read.

Give him a break for a few games then play him in defence for a while.

Not sure I agree with the Max Gawn badge. Always picked her as a Salem fan.

And shorter games and a shorter season, we were coming good save a few hiccups and ran out of rounds.

Yes, it would actually be a great support to umpires at all levels.

Totally agree Mr Redleg.

Unless they know the next coach will be short lived after making the hard decisions, like a sacrificial anode.

Fair enough, best to wait then. Not too long though - tick tock and all that...

Can we rename GMBH to Zimmer Stadium yet?

I hope the umpires have a huge crackdown on throwing the ball next week (while we have the bye and don't get caught up in the confusion) and reset to players for the rest of the year. Too many left uncalled and randomly one will get called. I include shovelling in this which seems to have been "decriminalised". They fix that up and it will also help with HTB.

St Kilda and GCS look like they are on the "Hayward Stuff"

Captain can still talk to the ref. But agree, it's time to stop the player backchat and abuse of the umpires. It's over the top these days. Also a pet hate of mine is appealing decisions like every player is fielding at short leg on a hat trick ball.

Sydney were flatter than a Lebanese bread. No run or spark at all. There has been some games of horrible quality this weekend ☹

If the game took a look at itself in the mirror, and saw this game. It would make some serious life changes!!

On one of the shows this week, I forget which, they discussed how much the blues have invested in their defence, without much real reward. That they still need a top quality full back is quite lamentable for them. (Nick Riewold referenced our defence and what we invested, but how it is actually paying off - so it must have been On the Couch)

Almost completely agree Tom, I just think it will be later this year. We have had a great luxury so far this season of getting him cherry ripe and not rush him in as a saviour. I'll go on record and say I think he will blow a final apart in a second half. Happy to be held to account if wrong, but would rather be right. On Tomlinson, I don't recall seeing it mentioned so much when he got injured, but the utter disappointment and despair on his face was more than a standard "journeman", reeked of real buy in and sense of belonging to me.

Unfortunately he is made of glass. Can't stay on the park. Had high hopes for him.

Looked a bit under done when he came in to me. I expect to see him for a block of games after the bye and build nicely into a solid season and run to the finals. When he is ready and in form there will be room for him.

Thanks for noticing Kev, but really, I just love that Groucho Marx quote PF used. Feel free to say whatever you like around me.

How about "11 and 1, and still in Gaza"

I don't know, smells like they want to get a jump on Collingwood for the best available experienced senior coach out there. Maybe they are eying off Ross Lyon.

He's labelling body parts??? Talk about getting on the front foot for alziemers!

Wow, the answer to the ultimate question. We have done very well in the mid season draft!!

I totally agree with you. My thoughts have also been to play ANB on the wing in place of Langdon. Would have worried me last year but his form and composure seems so much more assured this year. If it works, we have another dimension to work with. If not welcome back Langdon and ANB back to the flank.

Nice to see us draft a player with a nice vanilla/ meat and potatoes name for a change ?
