Bombay Airconditioning

All good, I’m on holiday and I’ve had a couple so just thought I’d clarify.

Is Rooter JVR?

He’s 27, (not being smart, just sitting in an airport waiting lounge with time to kill).

Why?

I think the Eagles are a chance today.

Stuff me Bub, I’m getting over a bout of influenza and it hurts to laugh…..

If Trac and Lever played last night what would have been different? Obviously you could start with potentially the score line and argue that our backline would have been more organised with Lever there or with Trac in the middle we would have stretched Norths match ups. But would it have changed Oliver’s game? Would it have changed the way we move the ball or our entry inside fwd 50 which is clearly affecting Fritsch’s game? Would it have changed some of our woeful set shots on goal, basic skill errors or our inability to not score in the last qtr? What about when we kick in after a behind and we nearly always go long to Gawn? We have too much talent to be playing like this, my biggest concern is we’ll start to have talented players want out come seasons end. Goodwin clearly doesn’t see a problem with the current gameplan or doesn’t have the skill set to do anything about it. We’ve done the whole swap some assistants around and that hasn’t worked. Look at Hinkley, I laughed when Port extended his contract. Difference here is Goody has a flag so what he says goes.

Exactly, I made a comment in the game day thread about isolating Fritsch like the Pies do with Hill but we’ll never do it.

Fritsch is a class player, why is that? Our ball movement and delivery plays a part, you can only see so much on the tv.

Maybe they’re sending a message.

Keep bombing it in, only the supporters that enjoy criticising the club have a problem with it. All the other coaches are loving it.

For different reasons.

I agree, I’m of the opinion based on nothing else than watching the games each week that something has happened behind the scenes. Honestly even if Trac and Lever were playing tonight there wouldn’t be much difference.

Is Hipwood in danger of winning the Coleman.

Hinkley should be sacked mid game, that would liven things up.

And just like that Port’s season along with Geelong’s is over.

Anyone close to the club spoken to Melksham lately? 4 weeks ago he be thinking we’d be sitting nicely inside the top 4 and he would be our wildcard going into finals.

Unpopular opinion but if a loss to North means we change the way we play then I want a loss. I watched the last 1/4 or so of Pies v North last week. Pies had Hill one out in the goal square and kicked it low and direct to him. Hill is a difficult match up, so is Fritsch but how we use him differently to how the Pies would. Also if the Pies are deep in the pocket they centre the ball, hardly groundbreaking stuff.We’re getting smashed everywhere currently but it’s alright because we finished top 4 the last 3 years. If a loss means that whatever is going on at the club brings about the changes needed then I want a loss. The last 4 weeks has been unacceptable but apparently we’re allowed to use injuries as an excuse. We’re becoming hard to watch, I’d rather lose trying to play a fast exciting brand of footy that allows us to kick a winning score than continue doing what we currently are.

Two Carlton players run into each other and it’s a free to Carlton.

Terrible free to McKay.

Eagles have fielded a strong side.

Not sure if previously mentioned but Cadman had been dropped by GWS.

I’d be giving TMac a 1 year deal on low coin if he’s interested.

Bobby Hill + pick 40 for pick 43 & future 2nd rd. Can anyone remember why Hill left the Giants?

So is Luke Beveridge, we’re all grateful for 2021 but maybe a change is needed.
