    Roast Our Medical Staff

    No, Dunkley literally had no involvement in McNeils goal or the clearance preceding it. Could’ve easily sent out an uninjured VDM. Could’ve easily taken Dunkley straight off as well after the goal on your logic if it was all about saving the game. So does nothing to answer my question at...

    Roast Our Medical Staff

    40 seconds later the “game is over” to quote the commentator. I love the idea that debating whether the game had been genuinely won or not at that point is somehow a determinative factor and central to my point and not just a distraction from answering what the benefit of being on the field...

    Roast Our Medical Staff

    Two things. One, when he went off the first time is irrelevant. It’s about when he went back. So you’re tweaking the facts for your own argument. Second you are offering an opinion that the game wasn’t settled (while passing it off as a fact). If you think that enough reason to send him...

    Roast Our Medical Staff

    Look if that’s enough to convince you it wasn’t a dumb decision, or that the game wasn’t over, that’s your opinion. My response would be he left the field with 5 mins to go when 27 points up just after Libba’s goal, so why would he be on the field at that point? Even if you think the game...

    Roast Our Medical Staff

    To me this is irrelevant. Forget about generalizing about other scenarios and players playing injured etc. We are talking about a game where the result was settled, little time left, a known significant injury to an important player. All you’re saying is ‘maybe’ it didn’t make it medically...

    Roast Our Medical Staff

    So it out my account still active. Just wandered back in and have to say this is a terrible take that completely misses the point. Sending a fit Dunkley to play a full game is no comparison with allowing an injured Dunkley back on with five minutes left in a game already won with zero benefit...

    Coronavirus/COVID-19

    Not all returning expats have the virus though, which is the point being made. Obviously very few do and yet their safety is lesser by being in quarantine than returning to an empty house. It’s irrefutable. The counterpoint of its for the greater good means philosophically you’re saying their...

    Coronavirus/COVID-19

    I think this misses the point of the post you’re responding to that the most dangerous part of the return journey for some expats will not be the country they’re coming from but being placed in quarantine - i.e. a government decreased the safety of its own citizens through the process.

    Preview Changes Freo V Dogs 20/9/20 Cazaly Stadium

    Or maybe the selectors see him as better suited to the role they have in mind than Lewis Young - and even then we don’t know how much. Realistically who else is competing with him for his role? Perhaps we’ll find out whether they also rate him more than Cordy this week (I don’t but then again...

    Bevo out

    Sorry my post was being sarcastic about how there was a burst of energy giving him credit for his role in the flag but not the results subsequent. My personal view but his role in either is grossly overstated, but also don’t want to restart the debate.

    Bevo out

    Why doesn’t Brendan McCartney get any credit for the results after the premiership?

    Ryan Gardner is a good footballer - post your apologies here

    On the other hand he only had 7 disposals and Darling could easily have won the game for them had he kicked straight or at least not straight into Gardner (not sure if that helps or hinders your argument). Overall though, I’d still rather keep Cordy when Wood is fit again. If we could find a...

    Autopsy The Luke Beveridges coaching idiocy throws away the game thread.

    Not sure where this fits, but Bevo has been incredibly unlucky with the loss of Boyd. True he had the good fortune of the game he played in the GF but he also had the torment of prob thinking he had a solid winning structure developing - can you imagine a spine with Keath, Naughton, English and...

    Unofficial Preview Round 16 Changes Dogs v WCE 6/9/20

    Bruce and Dickson unfairly maligned on the Dogs board - but that’s the beauty of these forums I suppose. A lot of the criticism of the team was more tactical than selection in the way it played after quarter time. The first quarter showed the team is capable of scoring so I’d be inclined to...

    Autopsy The Luke Beveridges coaching idiocy throws away the game thread.

    I agree with your point about taking less risks and slowing down. The point I was getting at about the ruck was the flow on consequences from lack of complementary players. I don’t like to keep singling out Gardner but he is one dimensional. Taking your example, Cordy is more adaptable to...
