Done, Carlton dropping away thread felt appropriateDouble hands to the chest like a bad actor nursing a gunshot wound in a B movie. Amazing that May's entire jaw wasn't smashed to pieces. What strength!
Please find the appropriate main board thread to drop that gif.
Went down like an absolute sack of spuds when noted strongman Salem bumped him resulting in that down field free too didn't he?Says a lot about McGovern tbh
Ethan gave it the Dear Sister treatment

Yep. Easily the best atmosphere I've heard at a Dees game for a long time outside of finals when Koz kicked that goal and when the final siren went!Reckon that was the hardest I've celebrated a win for as long as I can remember, the match being horrible to watch for 99% of it, followed by a ridiculous finish probably helped. Also having top 4 lost, only to steal that chance back. Just an incredible atmosphere at the ground, dees supporters were going mental everywhere.
Does my head in.I swear to god our worst periods of play this year have been when the other team has gotten on top and we endlessly kick long to Gawn from defence for what feels like an eternity as he drops it and we have no ability to win ground ball/pressure the ball carrier.
Happened in the last against the Blues and in the 2nd half against Cats as well.
Im sick of May wasting his kicking ability by dumping it long to the same spot every single time. Just coward s**t.
I wasn't there, but did it compare to watts kicking the sealer in Queens bday?Reckon that was the hardest I've celebrated a win for as long as I can remember, the match being horrible to watch for 99% of it, followed by a ridiculous finish probably helped.

Was the one where He tackled him , got a holding the ball free and kicked the goal from it in the second quarterKozzy got a $5,000 fine for rough conduct on Liam Stocker - anyone know what happened for that penalty?
The Watts sealer I was in the bullring haha, reckon the atmosphere last Saturday was the best I’ve experienced outside of finals, game meant more than that Collingwood match too.I wasn't there, but did it compare to watts kicking the sealer in Queens bday?
Even Joey on first crack made mention we kick to the exact same spot everytime.Does my head in.
May gets the ball in the square, looks to his right then angles out of the goalsquare and kicks to 55m out on the flank where brown and or Jackson are also with gawn. Like, not even an occasional kick right to switch it up. In the last quarter he did it 4 straight times. The first 10 minutes or so and Carlton kicked 2.5 from repeat entries on the back of this.
It's something that annoys me no end.
Watch Goodies genius play in Finals, we will start kicking to the right from kick outs and go on to win back to back flags.Does my head in.

It is bizarre. Your suggesting has two advantages - currently no team thinks we will do this because… we don’t. So there is acres of space on the fat side to work with. Secondly, if we did it from time to time, it might relieve the crush of defenders surrounding Gawn from the kick in because opposition wouldn’t be so sure what we were going to do every single time.Even Joey on first crack made mention we kick to the exact same spot everytime.
How hard would it be to go their say 3 times in a row then on the 4th have Hunt and Kozzy sprint to the opposite side and then give them the width of the G to work with
If you set that up aswell, you can keep Trac and/or Fritsch down the line on that side around HF and just go long to them. They are both super good one on one so it doesn't even have to be a good kickIt is bizarre. Your suggesting has two advantages - currently no team thinks we will do this because… we don’t.

Just repeating ‘contested ball’ over and over and ‘getting it looking like a Melbourne game’ just isn’t going to work for ever. Cracks appearing all over the place this year
