And there's not really, once you embrace this kind of culture, the line just keeps creeping further and further from football success being the primary priority.

So we'd schedule training around his exams?

Doesn't it though? Where is the line drawn? If it's ok to miss to do a school run, surely there's other reasons that players may request some flexibility. What would they be, or are you that simple that you believe only school runs are a valid reason?

Quote the post where I said I'd provide anything. Speaking of misinformation.

Then we don't need to see you in here till trade fortnight.

Tex is looking like a high level year is beyond his 2025 body. But big years from Fog and TT would be enough, our issue remains playing Laird and Crouch in the middle and cooked seniors like Smith.

It's been going on for years, it's not an error or accident. Our coaches genuinely see value in positioning him there.

Was good getting another look at what that Sloane kid could do in the guts though.

Surely they won't have the draft capital.

Basically suggests that we think we're a piece or 2 away from contending for a flag during the next 3 years. I don't think we're that close, although surprising results are being thrown up around the place.

You'd have to think it's just to get ahead of the queue. Being UFA, there's no need to frontload to try and avoid others getting him in the PSD. So the only purpose it can serve is to entice the player.

I never promised you anything.

To be fair to Smith and Laird, they didn't get to where they are by progressing through those steps. They were quality performers for us. That we allow them to plateau and phone in performances at this stage is definitely a major issue though.

Also a handful that would have been about half to 2/3s of a metre each. Definitely ran less distance than Rank.

Not sure it’s that unlikely. Extending Nix being happy for Tex to miss a meeting due to a school pickup, where does the flexibility stop? Is it just Tex that can be late, or is it common across the group?

From memory a lot was made about our performances against the top 4. 2 close losses to Pies, a win and close away loss against Lions. Wins against Port plus a close loss against Demons away.

Seemed to have a decent impact when we did it last year.

Idea is to squirt out a quick handball to Reilly and we cash in on his brilliant decision making and elite leg.

How do we know if his first half was good? His job is to keep shape, the more he gets the pill, the less likely he’s keeping enough shape.

Eagles haven’t won away yet and average about a 50 point loss. We’ll win and it’ll be vindication of every $hit strategy they have.

He doesn’t have the foggiest idea what shape is.

I think you’re going a bit early on where Pies and Lions are at. But we’re performing about where we have this year. Going ok, just not quite good enough. And again, Nivks is an ok coach that can get a decent list to finals. He just doesn’t have the intelligence and edge that it takes to...

It's not.

Yep.

Hawks game looking harder. I think Sam is a touch better thinker than Nix.

But we need to consider more than just a game or half a game. Murphy is a known dud, as is McHenry. Even though every now and again they go okay, we need to consider their overall involvement.

the question that I'd like answered is whether shape holding is mutually exclusive from winning the ball and inputting positively with ball in hand. Is there a maximum amount of possessions that a player can have whilst still maintaining enough 'shape'. If we could recruit prime Cyril, would...
