The world is a poorer place since we stopped putting 3d and 6d pieces in the dark (suet) Xmas pudding.

Teeth have probably benefitted from the omission.

Just got a flashback of foil-wrapped coins. More particularly foil making contact with a dental filling.

Coins to be inserted in pudding without foil thank you. Foil contact with filling on a par with dried apricot contact with dental weak spot.

 

[NMBB]

Teeth have probably benefitted from the omission.

There were two methods:
a) - put coins in pudding batter and cook the bastards - the real method.
b) - insert coins just prior to serving so coin is visible - soft weak method

Christmas pudding?

Yes please. Custard and icecream please. Leave the skin on.

What's wrong with brandy sauce?

Either way it's as dentally dangerous as Wood Frog baguettes. Fortunately, I never liked Christmas pudding and always opted for the alternative on offer.

Fantastic game by Steele. He’s still got it.

Sidebottom has surprised me, been electric this year after 2 pretty mediocre ones.

Certainly leading the BnF right now

 

[Mollythedolly]

Nah. Not necessary, can’t improve on perfection.

There's been no word that Grundy has been carrying an injury so there really is only a couple of facts known.

He signed a monster deal after years of taking unders.

Directly after signing that monster deal his form dropped away dramatically.

The logical conclusion is that he relaxed - even if only subconsciously.

The bottom line is the club made an error in the length of his contract.

So he has no Motivation to try hard?

I'd have thought that personal pride would be motivation in itself.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Rewatching the game today, what the hell is with all the 6-6-6 infringements!?? So so so annoying!?

Not entirely TD, there may be an element of that to it but mainly it's the fact that the pressure to keep improving and proving himself to the selection committee just goes away.

We all improve through growth and much of a sporting person's growth is achieved by overcoming pressure.

10 years guaranteed very high income means he is set up for life.

Even if the thought never motivated him consciously the subconscious is a treacherous beast.

I wonder if Leppitsch being out of the box had any impact.

Do we have to have 6 coaches in the box now???

Bloody AFL!!!!!

The subconscious cannot take hold of the superficial. Grasshopper needs to think less. If scratch surface, find only more surface.

6-6-6-6-6-6-6 recurring, keep up Kirby

Bucks was saying yesterday on radio there would be something like 6 or 7 individuals involved in managing the rotations and setups after a goal. Pretty sure that is the sort of setup that put us on the wrong beach at Gallipoli.

You’re much more creative than me. I was just going to say he’s full of it.

Who stopped?
We have a jar full for no other reason than the Xmas Pud.

Love the reference, however, explain every other player on massive coin who continued to be dominant?
It could simply have been a couple of down years.
Buddy
Dusty
etc etc.
I could have been the pressure of expectation, in other words it could have been YOUR fault.

I had a very similar thought when Buckley said that. It's asking for miscommunications and mistakes. Imagine ****ing up in a big game because roles, responsibilities and communication channels are so complicated. Sounds like there is room to make it simpler.
