fmd just realised the typo... lolThat's what she said
Two moreTwo take aways:
1. Both St.Kilda and Essendon supporters are unimaginative, at best, when hurling abuse at each other. Embarrassing for all parties involved.
2. Stringer is a very average footballer with even worse tattoos
Did Dixon just say they dont practice snaps at training and shift it to the players rather than wear some heat
Serious question - Is Richo tanking?
I mean, the whole club are coming put & saying he is the man. He will be coaching next year.
Could we just be playing the AFL media for a loop? Get a top 4 pick, maybe a priority pick if you believe Damo Barrett, grab Walsh/Smith and another pacy mid in the top 25 and slingshot back up next year?
Is Richo smart enough to play our best footy for 15 mins then shuffle the board so that players can try hard but fail?
how was stringer after the game when he was interviewed. He looked like he had mixo, was not the full deck of cards.Two more
3. Essensdon are a bunch of lousy inbreds that get very excited about beating up on an under 19 side who look like they are tanking.
4. Stringer is a pedo stalker and I am glad we baulked.
The GoodSteele very good again tonight, in a lot. Averaging almost 27 touches (11.7 contested) and 7 tackles the last six weeks.
25-12 they were horrible. We would lost regardlessThe umpires? Plenty of things to whinge about tonight ahead of the umpires.
I've wondered that several times this season...…...he just completely vanished off the radar...…..I thought "he's not that bad is he"
It's over 2 years since he last played a game...Queens Birthday weekend 2016.
Given the monumental debate All season with Hickey V Longer...…..makes you wonder why he hadn't been tried until it became absolutely essential.
Any reason do you suppose that Freezer played just 55% of Game Time? Other than Richo just being a total knob of course?
Short answer…....NO.Is Richo smart enough to play our best footy for 15 mins then shuffle the board so that players can try hard but fail?
Why dafaq haven't we played Pierce?I thought Lewie Pierce was a big positive tonight. Lowered the Bellend's colours early and gave us a shot. Tired badly, but that is to be expected. 18 possessions, 5 marks and 27 hit outs and some good heavy work at the stoppages, augurs well for the future. Throw in Marshall's worthy performance and I think the ruck question is settled. We can safely trade both Hickey and Longer and see what we can get for them. Two years ago, GWS offered us a second rounder for Billy but he didn't want to go. I hope they're still as generous. Hick could quite possibly get a late second rounder or a third. At least we'd be back in the draft to some extent.
Grab Lycett as well and we'll be fine. Rookie a back up or grab Darcy Fort with a later pick (206 cm and 100 kg). He's just turned 25 and has been in great form in the SANFL. Former Footscray VFL, he's really come on lately. Could be a bargain. Marshall becomes our swing man and we'd have three decent ruckmen.
Pierce proved tonight that Longer is the worst ruckman on our list. Lewie's stats probably outstripped Longer's career output. His physical presence and grunt work were much better than Hickey's have ever been. He's been on the list for seven years. His first game was promising as well. I know he had injuries, but it mystifies me how he ended so far back in the queue, behind Hickey, Longer, Holmes et al. Hopefully, Lewie can get back on the senior list and establish himself. Looked far from out of place in the big league tonight and against a decent opponent.
After game press conference:
Reporter:
"Ben Paton has been playing half back and wing in the VFL, what was the thinking behind playing him forward tonight?"
Richo:
"Ben has some attributes that means he can be flexible, and that is really exciting for us moving forward"
WHAT THE ACTUAL F**K!!!!
Seriously! How is that a fuc**ng answer...
So hang on right, Ben Patton was selected this week after being emergency 10 times was it. Has dominated across half back and in the midfield. Probably break down has been 60 Per cent inside mid 30 per cent Half back and 10 per cent forward so Richo decides to play him as a forward the whole game. This sums up everything that is wrong with our development and why none of our young kids flourish early. FMD give the kid a chance to succeed. It defied any logic.
I was so angry, the sad thing is he did the same thing with Hunter Clark.
Mate that was the only time tonight I got of my seat. Was delicious. Could have another within a minute but he missed the snapI won't go over the negatives as I'm sure many others will be all over that. What i will say though is that seeing freezer's friends and family celebrate his 1st goal was worth the 4hr round trip to etihad.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend guys.
