I've been doing a little research and have established as fact that you are absolutely correct on one of the above observations and categorically wrong about the other.

Well yeah I suppose that's one way of taking a good news story and shitting all over it.

I appreciate Mon Conti as a footballer, but they gave the game away when they awarded her the 3 votes the day she stood in the crowd watching us play Port Adelaide.

Before worrying too much about time trial results, I'd want to know whether this occurred before the main session, during, or after. Secondly, it would be relevant to know whether all players were under instruction to smash out their best time or if any were being held back for training loads.

Yeah I appreciate the perception of Comben being a see ball get ball type and it may well turn out to be the case. That's the instinctive reflex thing. The alternative viewpoint on his football intelligence comes from him explaining complex zones and leading patterns to supporters. He clearly...

Didn't we just take a key defender with a first round pick?

I don't know where you get the idea that Comben is not an intelligent footballer. From my understanding, his capacity for taking onboard complex zone and game plan concepts is top drawer and part of the reasoning for sending him down back. What Ben McKay could not absorb or implement, Charlie...

What happened that day was Draper was bullying Goldstein and giving him a bit of a bath. CCJ then came on and gave it right back to Draper. There wasn't a whole lot of finesse about it, just two bulls smashing into each other and trying to punch the ball as far as possible. That may be the...

It's a little bit funny (but mostly just sad) that as soon as one player manages to prove that he deserves a spot on the list and in the team, these same posters move on to the next raw recruit and begin a new campaign of unfair criticism. Sure, not every player that comes to the club will be a...

I appreciate the report. Yes the sessions I've been to, Kallan Dawson has shown that he might yet have a say in the makeup of the defense prior to Logue's return.

True that and I'm not sure exactly how misinformed, ignorant, or just plain dumb* stupid you have to be to not know that muscle weighs more than fat. So if a player comes back from break completely ripped and having packed on muscle, he's going to be heavier than someone who porked out and...

Good call. I think we've discovered a few closet viewers.

Wait, I thought he left halfway through the last VFL game and flew home, never to be seen again. In all seriouslyness, I saw a drill at training this week which involved 20 seconds of three-on-one close quarters handball keepings-off and the player defending just had to try to get a hand to the...

My apologies, I was confusing you with the original Captain Bringdown, Gasometer who deduced that the whole session was underwhelming.

You know that I was stern looking all the way through training so why would you post this?

To be perfectly honest, I wasn't even all that troubled by the original poster who took the effort to go to training and write up a report, even if he/she was confused by one drill. What bugged me was the second sad sack Captain Bringdown who decided based on this one drill that the session must...

The key point is you were confused. Perhaps a bit of sunstroke. As for whether that one drill defined the whole session, perhaps you could go ask Clarko on Friday whether he thought the session was just a slow ease in or whether he is really happy with the state the players came back and how...

Oh * off campaigner. You can't make that call if you didn't see it and you don't understand the purpose of it.

If you were at training and saw the drill for yourself, then perhaps you would have a point. Even if you saw video of the drill, then there's an outside chance you might have a point. Probably not, but it's a remote possibility. However, you weren't there, you didn't see it, and your minor...

Not at all what I'm hearing. One person who didn't understand the purpose of a single drill doesn't make for a bad session.

Go to the AGM and demand Clarko's immediate dismissal

Seasoned football analysts would call Tess a proper footballer.

Certainly, a side-by-side video comparison of a legal push vs an illegal push in a marking contest specifically regarding Paul Curtis would be interesting to see.

I think this is a case of "anyone but Bancroft" though. If Harris or Renshaw had Bancroft's 2-year form line, they'd be in the team. It's pretty obvious that half the incumbent test team don't want to play with Bancroft. These selectors are puppets.

Correct weight in most instances. Although it was a little bit rich at the time when he was claiming to have discovered a diamond in the rough when that player had been selected at pick 3 in the draft. It's only now that this particular prediction has come back around to looking like some sort...

There are no sharks at La Trobe. The Darebin Creek runs alongside but that is of course upstream of Dights Falls.
