If my aunty had balls

Now now no trans gendering in here please matron

You didn’t let me finish.

I was going to say

…she’d be my “they/them”

 

[LeftyLuke]

Lucky Tex saved the game for us after Ned nearly cost us the game missing an absolute standard set shot from right in front.. but I guess it was right on his 30 metre kicking limit.

Kicks it as far as Eddie in his last couple of years.

 

[George Kramer]

IF we didn't win the prelim in 2017 did you realise we wouldn't have made the GF?

What the hell are you on about?

 

[Slippery Pete]

What the hell are you on about?

He is satirizing the people who are saying we’re only two kicks away from being 1-5

 

[George Kramer]

He is satirizing the people who are saying we’re only two kicks away from being 1-5

Did the club put him up to it?

 

[CrowBloke]

Not really surprising ...

True, but I said "interestingly", not "surprisingly".

I was thinking along similar lines re your point about different players dominating, too.

 

[StickerMan]

He is satirizing the people who are saying we’re only two kicks away from being 1-5

Are these the same people who would also suggest we are only two kicks away from being 5 and 1?

Swings and Roundabouts people.

Lol. You admit you posted the ladder as a ' look at this' for improvement but when challenged you went to water

Dawson misses and Tex misses and I bet the ladder doesn't get posted or that article comes out.

What is good to see is we are putting ourselves close enough to win it at the death.

But neither missed so your point is invalid

And if Keays kicked longer and more accurately we'd be 5-1.

 

[The Rocks]

And here's the problem. No A-Graders in the midfield and nothing coming through! Could be more years of mediocrity or pain if we can't draft one and Pedlar doesn't cut it, get him strain though!

As the old joke goes “You fu** one goat….”

I laughed because I know that joke. Not sure it applies though.

3 3 is about where we should sit. It could be argued that if Walker had been in the side against Freo we would have won that game. I also feel if Nick's had moved Sloane out of the midfield earlier we would have been a better side as well. He also stuffed up some of the selections such as Milera. I think our big improvement has come through improvements in our defence by Dawson going back and Frampton coming into the team which has shored up our defence and helped take the pressure off Butts and Doedee. Jones has also improved. We aren't leaking stupid goals like we were first two rounds and against Essendon. Dawson and Frampton are better ball users which has limited the turnovers. That's why another good ball user in Parnell may be worth a look if Brown needs a rest.

Gerard Whately just gave Keays his 'Tuesday Love'

Minor - but good to see some of our blokes gets some love from the Vic Media Mafia.

Kingy said he’d have Tex in his top 5 players if he’d played more than 3 games.

Have to agree with Whateley (which troubles me!) - Keays was the real catalyst for us on Saturday. His gut running was immense and bursting away from packs with the ball priceless.

Interesting split in the coaches votes.

I saw GWS live last Friday, they were appalling. They did have a better patch in the 2nd quarter and got a couple of goals up, and a quick reply when StK got the next one, and held on to be 11 points up at half time. Some bad Max King

misses (1.7 for the match) kept them in it. Preuss had a possession inside 50 early in the 3rd, would have put them 18 points up, but handballed straight to a defender with the GWS caught napping and it went straight down the other end for a goal. From there it was all StK. Giants only managed 1 goal after half time.

It was like watching us play last year.

So Bevo gave Tim O’Brien votes over Keays? Is that bloke serious?
