Do we sound annoyed?

Well it'd been on my mind as I think it was him that had described our loss on Friday as 'almost 10 goals' and I was thinking like wasn't it exactly 8 goals?

Rounding up a touch seems to be one of his things.

Man if ratios were a thing on here your account would be smoking hole 5000 km down in the inner core by now.

That's not what he means, he means first ball winner, the guy at the stoppage going for the ball straight off the rucks hand and attracting the tacklers allowing the others to defend, go ground ball or spread. Not his overall ability. TBH with his height and good stand-up-in-the-contest...

This is false. Erasmus has repeatedly demonstrated he is not AFL standard in the positions it is least cost for us to squeeze him in to give him experience: Wing and hhf. He is an onballer or bust. Johnson has at least been near adequate in them and is starting to deliver better the last few...

Inexperienced to be fair. Need the mids to hold up. Tuia I rate as someone who would be an AFL player if he was 7 / 8 cm taller and with a bigger frame, but the the 4th mid is Hancock :/.

One of Hughes/Draper Davies and Murphy seems like a pretty good key back 3 to me. Funnily enough I thought that was the worst game Blight has played for 2 years.

You can see a big difference I think between Ras's and the Dow's of the world in that although both rack them up at 2nd level Ras actually defends and keeps running end to end all day to provide an option and keep making contests (which Brodie doesn't btw). Gives you some hope he will yet make...

That's his problem not yours. Also its Krytën ffs.

Modra, Tarrant, Croad. They were all pushed. The last two were unfulfilled talents and Modra was 29 when he started for us in an age when 30 is today's 34 for star players. Even WC for all their money and power have never traded in a genuine A grader in their prime from Vic or SA. You could...

Well they can't be that worried about it or they would have replaced him with an actual ruckman.

Bench again? That's it I'm doing a Wagner and retiring now. Hand out the carboard cut-outs of my head to the crowd immediately.

Thats wind. Where, to be pedantic, or more accurately to continue to be pedantic, the numbers are not called 'Categories' (it's the 'Beaufort number' or if you're listen to the shipping forecast it would be called 'Force X'). Where as the 1 to 5 for Hurricanes / Cyclones are called 'Category'.

I have played club cricket on astroturf, otherwise known as park cricket to the uninitiated or snooty superior grade cricketers, for the best part 25 seasons and captained at least 1/4 of those from near the bottom grade to near the top. The idea you could send guys that can't bat in 8ths out to...
