We're not getting Binns (again) are we guys? What does this kid have to do? Winger out, no more forced changes, most in-form VFL player for months. Nada.

What has he done to you, Michael?!

HEY MATCH COMMITTEE. Please take the following as direction on how to select this week's team:
  1. DO NOT bring in Ed Curnow. Give him a retirement game in round 22 when our season is well and truly cooked. He is done.

  2. DO NOT bring in Hewett, especially for Paddy Dow. He's earned a long stint in the reserves. Way too slow. Kennedy is better and Dow has been good.

  3. DO NOT bring in any small fowards. They don't kick goals, tackle or apply any decent pressure. None of them can take marks. Fogarty stays because he can lay tackles. Martin stays beacuse he can actually take a mark. NO FISHER MOTLOP OR DURDIN PLEASE. Preferrably never again.

  4. DO NOT bring in Silvagni. Let him play the year out in the reserves before he leaves the club.

  5. DO NOT bring in Young. Persist with Kemp. Young gives off too many Plowman vibes.

  6. DO NOT drop Cunningham. Hasn't played for 200 years. Deserves a month so we can decide whether to keep or delist him at year end.

  7. DO NOT replace Cottrell with anyone but Binns. Time to reward VFL form. There's nobody else in the 2's that deserves a chance, they are all plodders.

Fogarty was ordinary, Martin does not have the tank.

What exactly do you want this bloke to say? He uses a word a few times to try to explain himself and supporters are going full comatose. Write him a script you're happy with or stfu. As long as he isn't using "craft" or "moving forward" who gives a s**t?
:clapping::clapping:
 


Just read the Kane Comes article where he rates the best coach in pressers.

Unsurprisingly the top 5 best are basically the currnet top 5 coaches (minus Goodwin) and the worst 5 are basically the bottom 5 coaches.

The old adage - winners are grinners and you look like a genius once you have your side winning games.

what do these press thingies actually achieve anyway - can't recall too many that did any more than bring down further criticism and questions - what would happen if they were stopped?

Zero - they are a waste of time other than to maybe say 'Player X' will debut or 'Player Y' won't play!!

Cotters wasn’t exactly playing on the wing… reckon fish, bot or mots will come in. That’s my gut feel

They are a bit like the radio interviews where club spokesmen are cornered into releasing updates.

Cook: "I think , no I know TDK wants to remain at Carlton."

Why not just say "TDK is happy nourishing his craft at Carlton."
 
Stoopidy selection if that’s the case, can’t even get through a reserves game..
I've noticed Marchy is one that we are quick to get back into the 1s. After only 2 or 3 games in the VFL after massive stints out and he's back in seemingly every time.

Clearly we think he's well and truly above VFL level and can't wait to get him in the 1s every time.
 
My guess is the extended bench will include Fisher, JSOS, Hewitt, ED & Dow.

No prizes either if I am right lol because it will be totally predictable.
 
German musical geniuses who’s 1973 album Ralf und Florian which produced their famous signature hit song Ananus Symphonie (Pineapple Symphone)
What a musical journey….
Wouldn't their signature tune be "Autobahn "?

Album went to #9 in Australia and the song was continually on the radio in the mid 70s.

Splitting hairs probably.

That seems to be the case, rushing him in far too quickly just doesn’t make sense…

IMO Martin and Cunners were rushed back sooner than they should have been, purely on the back of currently being underdone as well as the long term injury history…

So far they have held up but they are clearly underdone, it’s taking a fair risk…
