I hate that understand the Harvard referencing.

You and I differ significantly on the definition of 'bombarded.'

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Sooo... why all the silence on Tarryn Thomas?

Not mentioned in any of the NMFC rundowns or on the forums. Did I just imagine us recruiting him?

Taking a little while to settle in? Injured? What is the go, anyone know?

God forbid the club tries not to oversell a young kid, what with all the backlash some of the assholes who support this club gave them after LDU's recruitment

A friend walked past Arden St today and said 30 odd of the boys were doing suicide runs and that McDonald won comfortably.

inb4 grog / bad attitude jokes.

There was a can waiting at the end of each run?

Please delist yourself.

I don't get it.

Sorry. I didn't think you would be that interested. I'll give you the citation so you can read it in its entirety (sorry I would attach it but that would breach journal copyright - you can access it if you buy a subscription or alternatively I will upload it to my researchgate).

Hopefully he didn't rub the win in anyone's face or make a joke otherwise the humble police will be posting their condemnation!

I think most people had an issue with his dogshit form in 2018 rather than his after hours activity.

Well that's it, isn't it? But some think he wasn't too bad at all. The coaching staff however...

Syd Barker 2017: 5th with 192 votes at 8.73 per game
Syd Barker 2018: 18th with 101 votes at 4.59 per game

If that isn't a drop off in performance then I don't know what is. And if that didn't correlate with what we were seeing on the field then I'm Wayne Carey's illegitimate love child.

So, if a player is going to drop his bundle then he his going to cop a whack and will be under scrutiny.

I'm backing the bloke in to bounce back this year, but I won't bury my head in the sand in regards to his performance and attitude in 2018.

He's never going to live down making one joke to Tarryn Thomas though...

 

[Heaps of fun]

Is there a betting futures market for when Luke will get his first Brownlow vote?
Hansen pick 3 2006 - 41st game
Ziebell pick 9 2008 - 11th game
Cunnington pick 5 2009 - 69th game
Luke McDonald pick 8 2013 - 96 games into his career with 0 Brownlow votes.

Just asking how he is going.

The sensitivity around this is a bit surprising.

ozzyoslo has differing definitions for many things.

Put it out there......dont go half-cocked son.

I'm not sure why you're surprised? Perhaps some of us here know TT personally and understand the pressures he's going through on field… and in particular off field!

From what I was told by people at the practice match, he was ok, not outstanding, just ok… with limited time. I guess others that were there would better informed

Not having a go at you Czero, just be patient

Are we now giving endorsements for participation in training?

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

I was driving past Arden Street today and saw the boys out training. Stopped for about 10 minutes and had a look. Didn't see too much but what I did see:

- Some guy in orange monstering Goldy in a few ruck contests (a sample size of 3)
- Garner going at about 80% from the boundary line
- A couple of the guys look massive. One of the indigenous boys looked so ripped I caught myself sucking the guts in. Couldn't make out who it was
- Benny Brown must of had 20 shots on goal while I was there
- They now use sticks in the ground with wire outlines of guys standing on the mark to kick over. Wish I'd thought of that
- Some guy sitting under a tree on his phone. Thought he might be on BF so I gave him a "how you going mate?" I think he was Canadian because he looked at me like I'd asked him for any spare change

But the highlight was an old fella having a kick about behind the goals, I hope he posts here because he's a legend. Very entertaining.

Really needs to work on his ball drop though.

Looks like he's done everything he can to put himself in the best possible position to make the most of 2019. That's all anyone can ask for. Good signs.
