I disagree with the Zurhaar assessment but respect the honesty.

I make shit up all the time about how our players play according to my opinion and hope you campaigners never call me out on it because then I've gotta find receipts to back up my hunches. It's a very scientific method I have.

This whole forum is all just unironically our opinions on shit.

There's something about harping on about this or that, that makes you feel more in control of this six year train wreck, even though that's obviously stupid because none of us have any control whatsoever. Regardless , it's quite a nice comfort

He went from one of my favorite players to not one of my favorite players in half a game when I first saw him live.

Kicked two of his three goals in the fourth quarter tho, when we were 10 goals goals down...

if he chased opposition players with the intensity he showed in 2019 he'd be one of our best players and raved about across the comp.

Just because you and ferball admit doing this doesn't make it right.

Moving on.

Curtis Taylor had the lowest recorded possession per kilometre figure since Champion Data introduced the measure at .03.

It meant he chalked up 3 possessions for every 100km of gameday running accrued.

Wouldn’t that mean he’d have no possessions for most of his games, though? I know he was ineffective. However, I thought he was averaging 6/7 disposals a game at least.

Oooh

 

[Caracas]

Picture this. R1 and Zurhaar tackles Horne-Francis into the middle of the following week! All is forgiven, Cam.

4 quarters tomorrow morning for any track watchers

Great I will have a look

 

[andana]

Cam has taken a fair beating since he started , often playing on bigger, stronger opponents.
Id cut him a bit of slack.
We have a fair few forwards and mids who don't chase. A lot to do with why we are in the bad end of the ladder.
It needs to change now. I'm a big fan of cattle prods.

 

[Caracas]

We seem to panic under pressure. This leads to poor disposal. Poor disposal leads to more turnovers, which leads to players needing to run back more than they should, which leads to fatigue, which is not a great look and ultimately leads to supporters questioning effort. Fix the first and things should improve overall. Or, at least help expose our real weaknesses.

So am I. Especially when people are sleeping.

Prodding or being prodded?

 

[rickety]

For some reason I thought the Match sim was on tomorrow night ffs.

Well, I think you have stumbled onto what could be a fantastic idea! Certainly in the warmer times of preseason - a twilight/evening intra club praccy match! It'd be well attended, imo. Might be a nice little fundraiser thing too if done right. I like it.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

I’m making a bold call, but when we see the captain coach lifting up the silverware in the next 4 years, it will be Barlow that will be helping to hoist it. The guy is a great operator.

 

[Shinboner Supremacy]

Know what time the match-sim is likely to start tomorrow?

I would be getting down early if I was you. 8:30am. Boys have a big day with shoots and so fourth

It's not looking good brav

I remember a night game against Richmond in 2019. He chased and tackled with such intent. From a defensive perspective, he's a shadow of that player.

Those figures are better than I thought

I've said it a million times, I hate it when people exaggerate.

That might be next week with the family day.

Shoutout to the LGBT HDMI PS5 brev

 

[Karanicolas]

I distinctly remember saying late last season that any win against Carlton couldn't be disappointing. They still somehow found a way

The second and third quarters though … I enjoy watching them … including listening to Healy paying out on the Blues.

True but then we went into our shells. It should really be an unassailable position, but we relied on a bad bounce to ensure the win. Not good. We should've run over the top of them. I'm glad we did Richmond in that second fixture after they threatened to make it respectable, but Richmond are a tier below Carlton

 

[Tiberius]

How dare people exaggerate to make a point!

Pretty much everybody exaggerates to make a point. It's the people who deliberately exaggerate and then write FACT after it whose opinions you have to learn to take with a grain of salt. FACT.
