He is My Boy

True Dave has been from day 1

 

[Vicky Park]

Anyone else think Stephenson needs to be “managed” and spend some time in the twos to freshen up and get some touch?

Probably. But Iv’e thought that before this season, and then the kid surprises. Unfortunately we don’t have the luxury of resting him, with finals on the line.

I’ve got this persistent knot in my stomach which won’t go away until we can’t ‘mathematically’ miss the finals. Been a long time comin’

 

[TKiL]

So you would lay more blame on that loss towards Mayne than Sidebottom?

Mayne and Cox's missed shots did the fatal damage!!

 

[Finnishpie]

Haha.. you and I Dave.. weve stuck up for him since day dot re.. 50/50 custody of him re..

Hey, I stuck for him too Gimpy!

There'll be a week break before the finals too right?

I still don't see the match committee making unforced changes. JDG and Howe come in, Moore and Brown come out and the deck chairs shuffle as appropriate. I don't see Daicos making way for any reason.

Seems very unlikely Howe will come in. Reckon it will be JDG and Aish in for Moore and Brown.

 

[Finnishpie]

You say Oxley one more time

I dare you......I double dare you...….

Oxley. Just play him!

 

[BringouttheGimp]

Hey, I stuck for him too Gimpy!

Might have to go to mediation I think re.

 

[CFC2010]

Oxley. Just play him!

There where quite a Few Things led to the Loss.

Still think Moore going down and Miocheck going Down Back Destroying our Structure Forward of the Ball cost us Huge

Gave me chuckle.

 

[Quicky]

If Pendlebury and Sidebottom did not lose us the Sydney game then surely Mayne did not.

Yeah picking out isolated incidents is fraught. It's a fair point you make. It is really noticeable to me when someone has just an okay game but misses a clutch goal. That's happened twice to Mayne but it's unfair to put the losses solely at his feet.

Oxley. Just play him!

Jesus Christ our Backline be even Worse

 

[Finnishpie]

Jesus Christ our Backline be even Worse

Play him as a ruck rover!

Hey i’ve Had a persistent knot that we would mathematically lose every game (not really) until the final siren goes and we’ve actually won it. Call it the Wayne Harms curse.

Can't. Hamstring. 2-3 weeks away. Only makes miraculous recoveries in April (and sometimes very very late March)...

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Mayne and Cox's missed shots did the fatal damage!!

Maybe and Cox at least gave us an opportunity to win. Their opportunities were genuine opportunities that they created.

Steele was putrid for three quarters. His selfish howler was the cherry on top. Not really comparable.

Steele had 1 of his very Few Shockers vs Swans.

Though at least 1 Forward should be actually in the Forward Line

You don't drive your ferraris in the bush. He's a 1's footballer. Plays deep forward so not as if he's copping heavy hits on ball. He will most likely kick 3-4 goals this week.

When they were in small groups Reid was doing goalkicking drills with the forwards. Not sure once match sim happened though.

Just nice seeing Reid.

Might be good if required for finals.

Very true if someone told me before the game Varcoe would kick 4 goals i would have suggested some medication.

 

[Magpie Girl]

De Goey in but no Howe

Reid back in the VFL this week
