Maybe they should merge.... 🤣
On the MC issue I don't even get why we keep starting Carroll as Sub while Fantasia's output is so low, or why we dropped Binns after hardly any opportunity. Surely our MC aren't suggestingf Fantasia is a deeper runner than Binns?
The alternatives are many, but include Motlop......who kicked 4 goals against this mob as a late in last year. Kickd 2 goals or more 10 times last year as well....as a 19yo.
Meanwhile, this (soon to be) 29yo has kicked 2 goals in 10 games.....total
Still having trouble understand the hostility?
The Gold Coast had a midfield that that was mature and talented: it is better than North's and probably a few others. We had Binns, who has played less than a quarter of senior football. So, we were always under the pump.
To come back as we did, after such a disastrous start, was excellent and showed character. Giving up the last few goals ... well, that is the way it goes.
Gold Coast had the top 5 possession getters on the ground.
[1] Binns: you have to admire the way he works. A pity his disposal is so ordinary. He would have played a lot more if his disposal was reliable. Still, 26 possessions was a good day's work.
[2] Liam McMahon could be anything if he ever gets some body strength. He missed some of the easiest craps in history last week and still was dangerous. Today he managed 2 goals when our midfield was flogged. But he couldn't out-body me.
I'm not sure who we might pick in the MSD, but we could do worse than McMahon. I just don't see him challenging for a spot against Charlie and H when smaller men out-body him consistently.
[3] Wil White is a guy I like. He is a small forward from down Warnambool way and is pencil thin, but he isn't slow and he has a nice left foot and generally kicks some goals. Definitely one to look for.
[4] Jesse Motlop had 5 disposals for the game. Was he injured?
[5] Sam Durdin and Dom Akuei won't be with us next year. Both got towelled up today. Casboult kicked 3 while Day kicked 4. I'd like us to get a taller defender in the MSD, but will any still be available by the time we have our pick?
[6] Alex Mirkov probably won't be with us either next year. He does get taps, but he gets out-bodied too easily and doesn't have much game awareness. I would give him the benefit of the doubt coming back from heart surgery, but I don't know if we can afford to keep him on if he isn't going to be a senior player.
Mind you, our VFL midfield is very shallow. It doesn't doesn't matter where you tap it if the mids can't get it.
[7] Moir continues to disappoint. He has a few tricks, but he doesn't get where the ball is. It wouldn't hurt us to have him developing the 2's if we had a few more guys who were close to making it and a few less 'development' players. Monahan still doesn't get much of it, but he is more involved. he might even get a bit more of it if our mids got more of it.
[8] Billy Wilson is looking promising. 22 possessions in defence.
omg in the context of an election what difference does this make?
Do you think im saying pull out or put in?
Do you think this factor should be a reason to vote one way or the other?
I dont. I think the USA should mind its own business and I think most people on this forum see Biden vs Trump and have extrapolated some Byzantine complex scenario where one or the other changes the fortune of that nation (which it doesnt). No matter how much aid Ukraine gets today Russia will invade it again at any time.
So we don't get confused about why I'm saying this, Trump was the first person to recognise Jerusalem as belonging to Israel. Look how THAT turned out.
Stopping Russia in Ukraine today is not the same thing and it is no reason to sway the election.
This isn't about Ukraine it's about Russia.
I didn't see anyone getting too worked up about the USA marching into Iraq to overthrow Saddam Hussein.
Those are the "good guys" invading. In war there are no good guys. Only victims.
There's the good old brand of freedom being dished out by the USA that no one cares about. Until they do. Ukraine or Russia makes no difference. There is no what next. There is no slippery slope. All there is is the next war for the next Territory or resource which will continue for eternity whilst people walk the earth.
Ukraine should have minimal impact by regime change in the states and has nothing to do with the price of fish because that war or proxy war lives and dies by NATO. The end.
To be clear, I couldn't give a flying fark about the USA, hate the joint, but for me Biden is 1000 times more embarrassing than Trump.
