We’ve lost 1 game by 1 point.

We lost to FARK CARLTON. Rage away blitz, rage away!

[Anabelle]

Is it not raining most the day in Melbs?

[choppsuey]

most of the daylight hours, yes. And your point?

[Clone_Hirdy]

Langford played on Pendles last time he won Anzac medal.

Managed is the most annoying thing about modern football.

Young fringe players still get omitted though.

Think about it for a minute, & you might realise it’s on one hand, respectful, while on the other, being psychological,

The exact right thing to do as a Coaching group. Don’t diss long time servants, but fire up & spur the young’ns.

Or have rules for some, but not for others?

Clubs and players always bang on about wanting to be ruthless competitors, hard teams to play against etc, yet we can’t say a senior player has been omitted? Please. Anyway, I’ve wasted enough of everyone’s time with this trivial issue!

[Anabelle]

little bit of night rain aswell but the bureau could be inaccurate

[choppsuey]

Nah. Not seeing much rain at all after about ~5pm. In fact reckon we’re a chance to get through the entire game without a drop. There absolutely will not be enough rain for the balls to become water logged. Greasy underfoot perhaps but not diabolical conditions, given how well the ground drains.

@choppsuey

Good news is that the rain is largely contracting to during the daylight hours and we may get through tonight without any. Probably still a bit greasy under footy, especially if we get the ~5-10mm forecast.

I reckon that’s bad news. Our only chance is probably in the rain as strange as that sounds.

Greasy under foot is basically last week’s conditions where we should’ve lost to a poor carlton side by 10 goals

we didn’t lose because it was greasy underfoot last week. We lost because we’d played 1 game in 13 weeks. No touch, no match conditioning. I don’t necessarily think we’ll win tonight, we wont, but we’ll be better for last weeks run. The team is crying out for some continuity.

I get your point on 1 game in 13 weeks but im not saying that caused an insipid performance.

It’s the same old crap from us.

What lost us was no hunger for the contest, bombing it to smalls, going long down the line every. single. time with barely any tall targets, and allowing an opposition loose behind the ball kill us (has happened for over a decade)

[scotty21]

We better ■■■■■■■ win.

[Anabelle]

I’m not sure the server will hold up during first qtr tonight

[bomberboy05]

Collingwood are a quick starting team so we have to be so much more switched on from the start compared to last week

I’m really unclear how someone would think saying Managed on a Team sheet rather than Omitted somehow means non ruthless, or non hard to play against.

That’s a bit of a stretch mate, … as you said yourself,. it’s “Trivial”

@BLOODSTAINED_DEVILS

nk saying Managed on a Team sheet rather than Omitted somehow means non ruthless, or non hard to play against .

Belly’s managed as he is obviously sore, and was not doing full training, but last weeks performance was terrible. Just hope Phillips isnt in for 1 game then dropped again, big task this week.
They are both just filling in time until Sammy Draper is fit and ready IMO.
Then we will ahve something in the ruck to get excited about, not since Ryder was kicking 50m bananas. from the boundry line

[bomberboy05]

Give Hurley the task on De Goey.

I’m sick of him playing on no names as it just doesn’t seem to work

[mdso]

We lost to Carlton by only ONE POINT and that’s one of the very reasons WHY we remain mediocre, a loss is a loss is a loss.
