I want Petty to do that next time he kicks a goal, I would seriously be in tears.Ice in his veins
Could expect a thread like that if we beat Freo next week, but after beating a fraudulent Essendon? Nah. Very good win. Thoroughly enjoyed it. But don't go calling Goofy a genius! Imagine the back patting going on over there right now!?
Quite a few guys on this board did the exact same thing after the Geelong win earlier in the year, good to see there is none of that shit tonight from anyoneOh boy...
Imagine what demonland is going to be like when Oliver plays his next half-decent gameQuite a few guys on this board did the exact same thing after the Geelong win earlier in the year, good to see there is none of that shit tonight from anyone
Think most on here have (eventually) reached the conclusion that we're not legitimate contenders (or even particularly close) and are just trying to enjoy the season for what it is now – the emergence of some young guys, positional swaps and maybe a surprise win or two on the run home.Quite a few guys on this board did the exact same thing after the Geelong win earlier in the year, good to see there is none of that shit tonight from anyone
I was absolutely frothing when they put Rivers and Kozzie in the middle. That's something that I want to see more of for many years to come.Think most on here have (eventually) reached the conclusion that we're not legitimate contenders (or even particularly close) and are just trying to enjoy the season for what it is now – the emergence of some young guys, positional swaps and maybe a surprise win or two on the run home.
Honestly, it's a whole lot more fun without expectations and the same drudgery we've come to expect out of the middle and off half-back.
Are we good to watch yet? No, not really. But at least we're seeing the next gen take over more and some players with a bit of flair (Rivers, Windsor, Kolt, Koz, McVee, JVR etc).
McVee is doing the take over of talls when they go high like Rivers used to. Bowey has been manning up the small forwards instead of McVee. Essentially all the blokes coming through have been promoted through and Bowey is left doing the negating job. Haven't seen anyone get a hold of him yet. Tonight I guess there weren't any smalls, ****ed if I know.Who has he locked down? Every time I look up hes getting beaten in the air or panicking badly. Not sure he frees up McVee to do anything, McVee takes the best forward most weeks and flogs them while getting plenty of the ball himself. Did it again to Stringer tonight.
Was more referring to people calling Goody a genius for "out coaching" the other Scott when it was just the same old shit we've seen and continue to see. Im glad to see some different players getting a chance, but what took you so long and is it only because of injury? Will we just go back to the same old Oliver, Trac and Viney dominating CBA's next year when everyone is fit? Id like to believe we wont but I remain highly skeptical, Goody is a very slow learner.Think most on here have (eventually) reached the conclusion that we're not legitimate contenders (or even particularly close) and are just trying to enjoy the season for what it is now – the emergence of some young guys, positional swaps and maybe a surprise win or two on the run home.

Oh I totally agree, and I'm not giving Goodwin credit for the youth movement and positional changes at all, as he's only done it primarily out of necessity.Was more referring to people calling Goody a genius for "out coaching" the other Scott when it was just the same old shit we've seen and continue to see.

Yeah what the hell is that about lol Boweys not even best 22 for mine. McVees a star, Boweys a neat kicking player who does what else? Id rather Howes or Moniz WakefieldWho has he locked down?

Yeah, id rather Howes over Bowey too.Yeah what the hell is that about lol Boweys not even best 22 for mine. McVees a star, Boweys a neat kicking player who does what else? Id rather Howes or Moniz Wakefield
100% because of injury. It would have been Oliver Trac Brayshaw and Viney all year again if things hadn't happened.Was more referring to people calling Goody a genius for "out coaching" the other Scott when it was just the same old shit we've seen and continue to see.

Why the need to constantly throw defenders forward, how about McAdam who's actually a decent and dangerous AFL forward than trying to crowbar Bowey into the team for God knows what reasonI'd be happy to see if Howes can play on crumbing forwards and move Bowey elsewhere (Sparrow's?)
Liked amw today. Last two weeks have been really fun actually.Are we good to watch yet? No, not really. But at least we're seeing the next gen take over more and some players with a bit of flair (Rivers, Windsor, Kolt, Koz, McVee, JVR etc).
Happy to see McAdam have another go if he's legs are no longer completely shot. I want Sparrow out of the team, don't overly care what happens to Bowey.Why the need to constantly throw defenders forward, how about McAdam who's actually a decent and dangerous AFL forward than trying to crowbar Bowey into the team for God knows what reason
And were constantly getting easy goals kicked out the back. So true.Could Essendon have put in a more Melbourne like performance than that?
- played terrible in the wet
- missed easy set shots
- dominated the ruck but lost clearances
- won inside 50's but lost on the scoreboard
- waited until game was over to wall paper over a few cracks
