Yeah really old school. All we know is that AJ is playing poorly and you're coming up with s**t about mental toughness. Just using the phrase makes you a dinosaur. Meanwhile you've seen him execute skills in high pressure situations in front of 90,000 people...

Moore Mihocek Schultz Nick Cameron

Cameron has improved. Elliott and Checkers are playing really well. The mids have been down.

A bit old school Domie. Jesse Hogan wouldn't still be playing if that was still the attitude. Bobby Hill had a couple of games last year where you saw him lose confidence and drop his head - dropped his head again a few months later to have the Norm Smith medal hung around his neck.

He reminds me of Shane Kerrison. Unfortunately he looks like a terrible kick.

Going back to Kenny Hinkley and Micky Mansfield at the Cats and more recently Sicily and Howe, I always want them to play these medium forwards who are strong in the air in defence.

A lot of it is that teams are setting a second line of defence for our forward handballs or Jordy/Nick breaking through - so it's no longer a case of get ahead of the pack and settle or avoid the one tackler by giving it to the bloke beside you who has also gotten ahead of the pack, as there's...

They may be relatively unknown to you and I, but they're not to the coaches. They track them at training and in the VFL. Unless they're performing well enough there, they don't get picked. And if they don't perform well enough there for long enough, they get delisted. We don't need to reduce our...

I'm surprised Stringer didn't eat Butters and Rozee when they played.

Stoppage is beyond me. Is it the players. Is is the tactics or is it just luck on the given day when we get smashed at centre bounces. But I can tell you one thing - it's not usually the fault of the flanker when the opposition win it over and over again in the centre square and burst out of the...

Not sure if I agree. Speedsters help the tigers brand, but the pies played it well in 2022 with slow wingers and not much quality in terms of small forwards - one of whom was slow. I think the tigers got pretty lucky as it took clubs a while to have enough faith in the style to drill the...

There's obviously advantages and disadvantages all throughout the league. The thing with the vicbias complaints is that it suggests that the AFL has designed a system and put things in place to advantage Vic clubs. When you actually look at the complaints like extra travel from WA, less players...

Cats have just simply been the best run club by a big margin. I think there was another flag or two for the taking of Scott had have responded quicker to Richmond's success and soed up the ball movement quicker rather than sticking to the style that made you so dominant at home but Notas good at...

Yep. Our issue this year has been the midfield not flankers, but the flankers cop all the flack because they're quiet when we get smashed in the midfield.

He's a better pressure player than Tay, but we're missing Taylor's aggression as an option to change things around stoppage.

There are actually a lot of Hamas civilians - it was a local government with a military wing.

Im 50 and like the game more now. You don't have the great one on ones, but it's just so much more intense and the skill level has gone through the roof with all the extra training.

He'll survive. The injury assures it. I don't think he showed progress last year, so if that continued he may have been in trouble, but that isn't an issue now.

Are you talking grass roots or the actual game?

Like 2021 when we got some really important games into Macrae, Poulter, Max Lynch, Brown, Brown, Ruscoe, Bianco - it really accelerated their progress... Or the Godden, Jacotine, Wild years You've got to have the right kids to get games into and the coaches usually know when they do and find...

He gave away a couple of desperate one on ones where he was in big trouble after being the first back when we got opened up, but watching on TV it was really hard to tell, as he just barely ever on tv in the first three quarters. No idea if he was getting lost or whether it was just a strange...

I don't know what to make of Steele's game. He wasn't stuffing up like his first few this year. He was just barely involved. I doubt he was running the wrong patterns, was him not touching it on the wing just a product of us moving it so directly - straight up the guts?

The league's going great. Regardless of what the AFL do there will be whinging. Really even comp with lots of great games. Blaming an external force and considering yourself a victim is just the modern way when things don't pan out the way you hoped. And it doesn't for 17 clubs every year

Of course it's not a reason to write them off. But it's not a one off. Last year us getting done around the stoppage in the VFL was common. Yet every week you'd read that our mids were too good for the VFL and deserved a game, because they got the most stats in the team. I'd love us to have a...

The AFL did the complete opposite in terms of success. They said let's stop money deciding results so that we can have a really even comp with lots of great games. They've done it well.

Centre bounce was a debacle. As comprehensive as it gets. They weren't just clearing it every time, they were bursting out the front for deep entries. I thought we were really good everywhere else - except set shots, but as usual it's the flankers copping all the crap, because of stats.

His grunt might have helped. I wanted McCreery to go in there or Maynard.

I don't really understand most stoppage tactics. But I think their players were just more powerful. We couldn't cope with Stringer at centre bounce. And around the ground I think they had a plus 1 at stoppage for most of it.

Pretty hard not to when NGA is being described as vicbias. Vic clubs are currently in the worst position in terms of academies. It's not even debatable.
