Think this is probably the earliest fork that's ever been thrusted into our season. We just scraped past Australia Day before it was cruelly stopped by poor motivation, substandard shuttle runs and round-ball antics. Onwards and upwards I guess

Any past player (league-wide) comparison that comes to mind?

I heard their IGA is the worst in the state price-wise. Just ahead of Halls Gap, which I can vouch for as a catalyst for bankruptcy

It was a little off with 2019, wasn't it

Could probably find polls from... ahem.... alternative news sources suggesting the exact opposite

Fair point, but not sure the Age is doing that anymore. They're very watered down. Guardian, maybe. At the bottom line, though, the progressive movement in general has lost steam and vaguely hateful bollocks is taking over. And maybe, at a grassroots level, it has itself partially to blame, with...

Just signed on for all eternity, didn't he

Not really sure what your first point is getting at. If it's basically saying that without colonisation they have little reason to externally express their pride, then yeah, that goes without saying. Not sure what implications it has though. Second paragraph is pretty much spot on. I think...

That's what happens when living standards/income value get worse imo. You don't have as much time for moral quibbling, and people look for things to hang onto. One of those things, somewhat understandably, is a day that supposedly illustrates that we still have it good here. It's always left a...

Doubly so in your case

The name sayers.... they sound like a sinister bunch

I never rated Bramble at the Hawks, but then he turned up at the Dogs and was really good. Was the main reason Daniel was left out of the team. As for the other point, it was bad phrasing on my part. It was meant to imply that one of the two (Jones) always had Larkey's number, not that they...

Dale, Bramble, Richards. Spose Richards is more of a wingman but he's the type to murder us in transition. + Lobb and Jones. One of them routinely gives Larkey a bath No response yet to this. They manage to find handballs and free space no matter what we do. We should match up ok but just...

Well we managed to keep it under three goals in the first meeting with them last year, somewhat miraculously. It won't be another R23 but I do despair a bit. A running half-back line, seventy-three athletic KPPs, and a dominant midfield. It's like three kryptonite doses in one

That's some self control. I wouldn't be able to read many pages of this forum without making an account to spout my own asinine bollocks

Your account is in its infancy. You'll soon learn to ignore Duck and/or respond jokingly. His rants are fairly regular

He might beat him or break even statistically, but we will need a significant shift if Xerri is to: A: Refrain from taking it out of the ruck and booting it to no one, and B: Actually hit our mids with his taps. The Dogs mids are ****ing incredible at reading taps, and Xerri himself is less...

True. To me, the simplest solution would be to identify a key forward and go after him, like we did with Comben before he turned out to have the durability of wet tissue paper, but if we want to do the key position Harlem shuffle, I guess that's our prerogative

Good

I agree, he weights it very nicely. But where does he fit in? We can't plonk him on a half-forward flank and say here, Will, your sole job is to kick it inside 50. Especially with the other deficiencies in his game

Replacement is a fair way down the road. We don't even have one to partner with him. Won't hear it about Darling, he's just a stopgap, like Teakle and Pink

Will you be saying this when we have our first fourth-quarter fadeout this year and Scott is still going at the same clip he was in the first, whilst his teammates shit the bed?

If they unite, it'll be at Essendon

Should be 26-1 minimum

He's only three years in. He's closer to being an entering prospect than an exiting prospect

Daniel Howe very much committed to this bit. Even tried to sabotage us in his very first game to hammer the message home

The fact that we all know what kick this is referring to is staggering. We're really that deficient in quality ball use going forward. **** me I hope that changes this year

To all the track watchers (whose recounts are greatly appreciated, as always) who was shit? Just trying to gauge the players who are more likely to be immune to the old phenomenon of pre-season upticks in form. The what-you-see-is-what-you-get types

****n should've been. Was the 9th most picked player in the fan AA team. When you get input from such a wide-ranging population, often the result ends up as more accurate than what a group of narrow-minded media w***ers who have no time for the small teams can come up with

True. I'd probably have more time for it if the victim was... literally anyone else. Comben would get injured by a wind change
