i gave up...remember... well done

I know you gave up. When it comes to roles and strategies you are a skeptic and claim them a crock of shit and then give up when you're challenged. Rinse and repeat. It's just not positional footy anymore - they set a structure and train running patterns - and where you run varies depending on your positioning. It aint rocket science, but it aint the positional footy that we grew up with

"Kenny" played the "injured players" card.
Apart from the second quarter, the game was more or less even.

That's the same as saying, "Take away Ponting's three hundred and we would have been a chance in that test match!"

I wonder if the flowers Kosi gave Cripps made it to the Vase

He didn’t give him flowers, he went round to his house and tea bagged him
Crippas chin was the vase

Did this happen to you in the boarding house young fella?

I think it's pretty straight forward - if the AFL want to ensure blokes get a concussion assessment after a hit at a crucial time in a big game - they've got to be the ones who watch the videos and make the calls - clubs or players aren't going to do it impartially.

It’s an independent neurologist in the NFL, I agree it’s pretty straightforward.

Some useless stats to ponder

Brisbane hasn’t lost a game to either of the last 3 sides since 2019.

Voss has never lost an final at the Gabba as a player or coach ( unsure how many he coached)

One of those gotta end.

let me tell you about gen z'ers..... the thing that they worry about the most is how they look to the rest of the world. Give them something that gives them freedom to act outside the norm and they'll love it. Tell them that systems will win them games and they're all for it. The actual system isnt as important as everyone being on the same page and not panicking.... so in the chicken and egg situation, whether the chicken comes first or vice versa, I still think you need players who wont panic. I think the demons are beyond toilet training. They're going to try to find individual solutions to winning games and they'll panic when the pressure is on.

Of course you need players who can handle pressure and can play footy.

But it's simply if you want blokes linking up in multi-player handball chains, you first get them to run in a wave. It doesn't happen consistently by chance decisions. The system is what gets them on the same page. if you want them to take the game on down the centre because you need to catch up, you first get them to run down the centre so there's someone to kick it to, etc ...

sometimes i wonder why you come to big footy, SR. You seem to be far too interested in the technical side of the game. If i want to talk technical, I'd go to that kind of site. I come here to trash our players and spread rumours and stuff like that.

Yeah they do, don’t tell your Mum

 

[Angus Young]

The obvious one is to say Grundy should have played. If weatering doesn't intercept vineys kick it would have been a justified selection. That weatering is a player.

Viney dumb though.

He had to give the handball to teammate alongside him or at least kick it more than 30m and its game over.

Melbourne were out.

 

[Markfs]

port fans were voting with their feet early in the last quarter.....obviously someone sold them a bad batch of superglue because they were easily torn apart...

In excess you could say.

Just wanted to pop by and congratulate Goodwin and the Demons on making it into this weekends expected score Preliminary Final

Airlines price gouging Carlton flogs flying up (and back) to watch their shit team get reamed this Saturday pleases me greatly

Good idea , my mother passed away a couple of years ago in a nursing home on Xmas eve during Covid.

You a funny guy

Ralph just said on On the Couch that senior Melbourne people are blaming the the Maynard Brayshaw incident for derailing their season.
Bunch of whingers who can’t accept their own failings.

Probably not wrong. Because they focussed all their attentions on the issues they had with Maynard and forgot they had a cut throat final to play.

Maybe Melbourne Football Club & all their media minions should have not CREATED such a media circus regarding the Maynard/Brayshaw incident.

Jeeeezus, they've turned out to be a much bigger bunch of woe is me, sooky lala whingers than I thought they were. Chris Scott will be taking notes.

They had barely touched the ball up to that point. We were already +10 for contested possession because they didn’t show up. Brayshaw’s spud kick inside 50 was touched by Maynard and would have been swiftly swept away for another goal to the pies.

The d*ckheads have embraced a loser mentality

Barassi would have shoved a rocket eade up them
