Spirit of '87

The fashionable, modern day around the corner kicks, often from 30 or 40 metres directly in front of goal, annoy me. The players seem so happy with themselves as they set up for those shots, yet to me it feels as though only about one in ten of those kicks ever actually go through for a goal. The rest go anywhere from out on the full to the opposite forward pocket. The traditional direct drop punt or banana/checkside from the forward pocket boundary, seemed to be more logical, direct and appeared to me to have had a better strike rate.

*Billings, not Billing’s There’s no apostrophe in his name.

Ghostwriter was already onto it on Monday: Ghostwriter 4,109 Posted Monday at 19:47 NOTE: Due to expected extreme weather there’s a change to start time of the practice match vs North at Arden St this Saturday February 22nd. The match is now scheduled to start at 10am

Have been watching the Super Bowl on and off since about 10.30am. Now after 2pm and it’s still going… 🥱

I believe his team post was referring to the practice game against North, ahead of round one. But yes, will be hoping that Petracca is good to go by round 1

Yes should definitely be some “learnings” for him there…

fify = fixed it for you

The Francophile in me says that Parfitt could be parfait

Yes, but what does Karen think?

Yes there were plenty of excuses “um, you probably saw all the masks and stuff, which was probably a bit of a giveaway, we had a couple of guys with Covid, off field people, we had…Max had a bit of gastro, there was a little bit of that, but again, please don’t report that as an insurmountable issue for us this week, it was just one of those things that everyone has to manage at some stage…”!!

But kicked the winning goal

It was Maynard, so it was deemed a “football action” 😬
