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...

Where does this Cat 10 thing come from? Can't be Hurricanes as a 1-more-than-is-possible-on-the-scale would be 6, not 10.

Lord it while you can..

Justin has lied in these pressers about injuries to key players before (A legitimate ruse de guerre I should emphasize), so he may well not play.

Basically it's this. People can't get their head around it's longer than it used to be.

Well he is supposed to be an imaginary friend. Also the actual Snuffy just became real at some point without anyone accounting for their previous inability to see him. Maybe thats whats happening here. Yes, it does still bother me nearly 40 years later.

Weather update: Forecast has changed back to the rain peaking around 11 or 12. We may only get the odd shower during the match or even none.

Emmett is actually a bit scary. He's pretty big and obviously pretty strong and not backwards in coming forwards. Also someone prepared to have such a ludicrous hair style and not expect to be mocked must be pretty uncompromising.

Wasn't really a day for the half forwards. Banfield had about 4 touches up to about half way through the last quarter but unlike him didn't snag a few touches when the game was beyond doubt.

Goals this season by Warner, Heeney and Gulden: Home: 12 Away: 18

Richmond parked the bus looking to not get flogged (because that's what gets coaches sacked). They held their zone deep and only attacked from deep. We were essentially playing a less competent and even more defensive version of our own gameplan. I mean people understand there are consequences...

That doesn't explain why the Sydney mids have had so many more opportunities to score. Sure they are broadly superior as forwards to ours, but not 4 times better!

Sydney's three leading mids by CBA's have 27 Rebound 50s between them, ours have 47. Nearly double. Although as you say they have some of them rotating forward which we do not, to my mind it looks like Sydney are deliberately having their midfielders forward in certain circumstances (presumably...

Yeah would be as the closest island you can see in the shot is Seal Island with Michaelmas immediately to the left (although actually twice as far away).
