No way I’d debut this late unless forced by injuries.
Is he a fast learner?
Everyone’s dna is different l suppose.
l never knew lolling around with other football gloomers was therapeutic and helpful
My comrades move on from a disappointing loss like Friday and embrace the laneway that has no time for moping and more time for rolling the sleeves up and focusing on where improvements can be made.
Like improving Draper’s kicking.
He nails that goal and it was all over.
Like working out what went wrong leaking goals in the second.
What worked in the second half.
Like McKay looking for the forward option instead of sideways.
Lots of focus points to take you away from utter dejection over the weekend.

Could be seen as an extreme solution to feeling gloomy all weekend after a loss- but I found this stopped when I had kids!! They make managing emotions around footy results seem a piece of p!ss

You’ve been saying that exact line for 2 months. And we’ve been losing. I suppose if you keep at it long enough, youll eventually be right, and you can say you were right

Even bringing in the old guard and then looking at team balance and the opposition has been baffling.
Wet weather football and we go in tall.
How many times do you repeat the two rucks to same effect. It doesn’t work.
It’s a ■■■■ list, but the selections don’t make sense either.

I was the same.
But now my 4 y/o rides the bumps more than me! First thing he asks when he wakes up is whether we won and he is flat as a tack if the answer is no.

Okay, let’s say it happens.
We respond against the Saints after 2 losses.
We beat Freo at the G which will be a good win.
We beat the Suns at Marvel who have won zero AWAY games including losses to St.K & NM.
13.5 will probably be good enough for 7th spot.
Unless we can win at least 1 of Sydney/Brisbane as well, we are heading towards a likely Elim Final in Bris,Syd or Adel.
There is some chance of a 6th v 7th Elim Final against Geelong, and we haven’t been close to them since 2018 !

Out: ■■■■■■■ high fiving each other when they stuff up
In: More direct feedback when they stuff up (reference Lever/May)

I think we can beat Sydney seem to match up well against them
I’m watching their game now.
If they aren’t 10% off (which they could be in a meaningless game), they will slice us with their short kicking game.

I hate when players do that

Yep!
After watching the 14th place slice us up like a hot knife through butter (without rankine mind you) imagine what Sydney’s kicking game will do to our ‘zone’ under the lid at marvel.
Yikes

I’ll probably be saying. Gee we are ■■■■…we might get spanked by Syd and Bris.
Would take a few 6-8 goal wins to get this going again
Or maybe an “away” final against hawthorn
