If we’re 5th this year I’m happy to use up the picks for McDonald as we would likely be contenders in 2025 with him added.

Me, as always, waiting patiently for Carnthedockers to come in with the real tea on the Jon Ralph stuff
Acting out a metaphor is a strange practice, not sure its worth complaining about but I always wonder if wanky team building exercises like that actually carry any benefit. That is if it even happened.
making a bunch of adults go out and dig for metaphoric treasure? seems weird.

Yeah I'm not buying it with that Jon Ralph piece. If you asked him to point out Cockburn on a map he'd be confused to find that there's other parts of Australia outside of the Carlton coffee strip.
If Longmuir gets sacked it will be on the back of onfield performances alone (a legitimate concern for me now after the Port game).

I think we expected the fwd line to be dysfunctional due to the outs. What we were all taken back with was being destroyed on the outside and ball movement in general.
it’s unlikely but possibly we just went with”down the line to a contest”not to show our hand? Or to keep the game slow and injuries to a minimum.
It would certainly see this as highly likely - have a bit of a run to find touch, but don't over exert.
This is what we should hope it was.
If that’s our game style we’ll be middle of the road.

And to practice our setup at those contests, which is clearly sub par, the couple of time we did break out the back of that dump kick down the line looked great.I think we expected the fwd line to be dysfunctional due to the outs. What we were all taken back with was being destroyed on the outside and ball movement in general.
I always assumed its bollock but given how many high performance environments do stuff it I think there must be significant research backing it up. Always feels cringe if it gets rolled out somewhere you work.

DRAGONS FFC It's not for everybody, but a portion of the team will thrive n it and the connections. If it even improves team understanding and communication by 20%, it's a gold mine.
I find it cringe, but understand the overall benefit, and so get involved.
Those that whisper at the back of the class are the problem, they create doubt in the group about the direction and leadership. Those discussions and concerns should happen behind closed doors. If those who have leaked are those that are gone, good.

West Coast used the phrase "time to hunt" before they went out to play during Adam Simpsons early years at the club
I can tell you, it goes very quiet when these things happen. I get a lot more when we are going well!
so how quite were things after the pre season match with port haha
At what point do we show our hand though? Can we automatically turn it on for Round 1 without any in game practice? That doesn't sound like something the good teams do.I think we expected the fwd line to be dysfunctional due to the outs. What we were all taken back with was being destroyed on the outside and ball movement in general.
Exactly my point!

I'm about to play a live version of Among Us with my team as a way to foster problem solving and effective communication skills. Some of these rituals and activities might sound weird, but it depends on how they are executed and where the culture of the organisation is at. Easy to judge from outside with no context
Among us might be fun, most of the ones I did when I was younger were not nearly that fun.

I'm actually now envisaging a Company that not only does escape rooms but Among Us. It could be a lot of fun. Some fun rules would be like everyone has to wear helmets with Visors that have to be put on and make it pitch black for like 5-10 seconds, secret doors only the "Alien" can use etc.
Ross Lyon will overachieve with any list with enough players in their prime imo.
Think where you think they'll finish on talent and then put them 4-5 spots higher.
They've got some good youth that won't peak for a few years yet too. If they can replace a few older players they'll be scary in 2-3 years
