Oh shieet it’s Stringers birthday today. Big bag coming up

He was our leading goal kicker last year (also his birthday funnily enough!) so you might be onto something! Unfortunately he lead the goals with 2...

 

[I Remember Bluey]

JUST OVER 20 HOURS UNITL MARK BAGULEY TIME.

Will you have the scarf finished in time??

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

We are playing good against really ordinary sides. We will know more after today

We made those sides play ordinary

Will have to kick at least five to be our leading goal kicker this year (hopefully)

He will at times but with the ground that Mitch Brown covers he is more dangerous when deep IMO. He will need to work hard if Collingwood press locks it in and our defence is constantly switching back and forth.

Will be an interesting game we all know what we'll see with the pies but it's more what we get out of the dons that will prob decide this match. Their best is good enough to beat anyone whilst their worst probs wouldn't trouble melbourne atm. Im gonna say it'll be a cracker and go down to the wire. 1 - 10 points maybe pies but not confident.

Another way of looking at it.. Your 21 and shown a bit. You could crack the sads about Bags or you could see he will be gone in a year and you could have his spot in a team with a crack list pushing for flags. You could work your butt off and play with Merrett and Smith. Or you could get more opportunity at the saints or dogs. The competitive kids will stay and the Carslile types will leave. It's a possibility.

Reminded me of what made Jobe great. He wasn't an overnight success by any means. Almost traded. Similarly, Hird. They both worked to achieve success. Just because a kid is a high draft pick that doesn't mean they don't have to work and take their opportunities as and when they arise. It's the club's role to build resilience in their kids both for the return on their investment as an EFC player and, long term, to facilitate success in life after football.

Parish (Francis, Langford, Laverde etc) are all talented. How that talent is unlocked is a matter of trial, error and, mostly, luck (injuries, form). The club may not get it right but it certainly has an incentive and interest in looking after both the mental health (and confidence) of their most talented players.

On the other hand talking about selection is fun, nothing wrong with saying that the club got it wrong. if people didn't post about selection this board would be a pretty empty and boring place.

Hmm just set up bbq and food for a mate and his family to come around for the first time to "host " an Anzac day at my house. Usually prefer the alone time. But figure this hasn't helped for a years regarding winning so meh. Also I have just sunk 7 Coopers Sparkling after the local dawn service. Quick nap and I'll be fine.

 

[DallasCrane316]

So is Fantasia playing or not? All the rumours circulating that he’s out and Parish is in due to illness.

Can’t be looking that hard, read a few posts above.

Id forgotten to refresh before posting. Thanks though!
