Game Day Preseason thing against Tigers or something

[Lampers]

Nothing to do with the forward coach, it's all to do with the way we are moving the ball, it's quick and direct which means the forward only has to lead once or twice. Hasn't been any crabbing it around half forward before a bomb to the square

JVR, Jeffo and Kentfield all led at the ball fine in the VFL. VFL generally has less congested backlines and the VFL team moved the ball quicker than the AFL team too.

74pts in a half

Ch7 is going to love the advertising revenue.

 

[Proper Gander]

Jiath might be my favourite player.

My second favourite after Derksen

Yeah I hated the notion of blaming the forward coach, he had the shittest ball movement in the league with the shittest kickers and he doesn't work independently from the head coach. Goody wanted slow predictable and stoppages.
You'd hope with the quickening of the throw ups around the ground more forwards will stay in place and keep the kicker ahead of them. No point running towards the stoppage if it's gonna go back over your head quick

One of my favourite memories was when I was 14 years old listening to the 2000 qualifying final when melbourne started to come back. I was at my mums friends house, and I would give updates to my dad who told me to stop giving updates, as he hates knowing. I'm the opposite I have to know. Probably one of my all time favourite games.

I listened to the final couple of sessions of the 2019 Headingley test on the radio. Last bit of the penultimate session driving home from my ex-gf's place in Fitzroy North to the burbs after midnight and then maybe the last couple of hours unable to get out of the car at whatever time of the early morning it was hoping Australia would run through them but also being unable to properly hope against Stokes playing what sounded like the innings of a lifetime after an unbelievable summer.

Game might not be played out due to light.

I wouldn’t mind pulling out a couple of more valuable players and having a look at those on the bench. Win loss doesn’t matter too much now

Light? Are they not playing at Mars Stadium? Are the floodlights out of action?

Petty hasn;t impressed me much today.

Believe so. Could have heard it wrong

Yep. Petty is having a bit of a ‘mare. That kick across to Gawn was perplexing.

Lever has also been pretty poor.

Hopefully some of the older guys haven't been too 'Goody'd'

 

[Lampers]

Melbourne with a two on one. Petty decides an obvious push in the back is the sensible choice…

 

[Charlie_s123]

For ****s sake.

 

[Daemon]

Well that's the game you would think

 

[Bluelegs]

Call it a day

 

[netslave]

mother nature says we need a break again

 

[Charlie_s123]

Great idea for a 4.10 start at a ground with no lights.

 

[Proper Gander]

Well that's the game you would think

I reckon it’s likely. Annoying - weather is good for footy in Melbourne.

Still, I am saving my treat of a lurk of the Richmond board which could well be fun

 

[Headless]

Happy to take the four points and run if this gets cancelled.

 

[Topkent]

Surely just give us 4 premiership points and move on

OH NO

I wish the whole season could somehow be preseason. It’s so much more enjoyable

 

[Daemon]

I don't mean to be a bit of a wet blanket but I don't think they award premiership points for practice games.

 

[Scythe]

Left to go cycling during the lightning delay, came home to another lightning delay, nice.

Side note, listened to the SEN commentary and Maher, Cooney and De Stoop were the most painful listen I've nearly ever experienced. Condescending throughout, and spent nearly the entire time cracking gags about how long the first quarter had been going for. Insufferable

We need to bottle this lack of expectation.
