Unsure why Howe and Beams arent there. You'd think it was compulsory.

Didn’t realise this was from 2019 and nearly fell off my chair when I saw “Beams”

Lots of old faces - some missed and some not. A baby faced Jaicos and IQ.

Tom Langdon makes me sad. And Mark Keane makes me mad.

Sidey with hair freaks me out

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Sidebottom himself here says he was shit last year

Yet soooo many were attacked for daring to suggest he was terrible last year

But yeah I’ll be the first to put my hand up and say my calls for him to retire last year were clearly way off

Not Robinson Crusoe there. I think the way we’ve approached veteran management, particularly as viewing decline as nonlinear and not necessarily irreversible, is really interesting

I find it funny that during Steel’s shit period, I kept calling for him to be thrown forward since they were never going to drop him

Lo and behold we threw him forward for half the Cros game and he starred

No idea why we never tried it in bursts perviously

Reckon we could easily get another two years out of Steele exclusively as a small forward

It’s very interesting, especially when we think of a time not that long ago - including when Bucks was coach - that few if any of our players kept going after 30. I often think of Travis Cloke who was 28 or 29 when he left for the Dogs, and was effectively finished. Compare his comparatively short career to someone like Tom Hawkins (she says through gritted teeth). It’s another area where Fly and his ideas and his team (we love you Wade) have transformed the club.

Just kinda related. When lurking I liked Knightmares posts, not always agreed but his work was very well worth reading. He pointed out a hole in the club. At an age around 28-30 players stopped developing on player potential was lost from the club. Now we have a performing older list. We bring in players at the age we would previously retire them. I also recently read we have the best player development there is. On that one I am holding. Our young players need to be playing seniors for more games for that to hold true.

I recall Knightmare posting along those lines.

He was the reason I joined BF. Another Pies fan pointed me to his work and to this forum, and I joined and then never left (although Knightmare is long gone).

It’s like the Hotel California in here.

The whipping boy thread is where players get stabbed with steely knives.

Daveron injured them and Bucks's seriousness bored them and made it a grind.

You are probably right.

My how things have changed, in a relatively short time.

Do you think we are now league best at this?

It looks like it from the outside, but how much of it luck and just the nature of Sidey and Pendles? Outside of us, Dangerfield has amazed me this year - he's still superman and physically superior to everyone when he chooses to go full throttle.

Are bored Devils dangerous?

Remember this guy

Steele Sidebottom kicked 10 goals for the Murray Bushrangers in the 2008 TAC Cup Grand Final, a performance described as "arguably the best performance in NAB League history" that significantly boosted his chances of being drafted by the Collingwood Football Club with the 11th pick in the 2008 AFL Draft. The 17-year-old also recorded 32 possessions, 14 marks, and 11 inside 50s in the best-on-ground effort that announced his arrival on the football stage

Random question

Did anyone else receive a sign footy in the mail from Collingwood?
Completely random?

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Visionary

I know

I fixed Jordy too

You're welcome

You received a signed football? Is that what you're saying?

Did you enter a competition?

I can't read the article, but I doubt it's saying he had a shit year. He had a shit first month or two. He finished strongly and was top 5 in the bnf

And yeah your calls for him to retire were way off. During that shit month or so he was moving fine but he'd lost confidence and his skills went to shit. You're not going to retire Sidebottom because of a patch of shit skill execution - that was always going to be temporary. He's one of the cleanest players we've ever had. He'll go when he's not moving well enough for AFL
