Thanks LP. The other issue around Ozempic is that there is no supply in Aus at the moment so diabetics can't get it. Too many people are using it just for weight loss. This has been an issue for a while now.
I've just run out and have been told no more supplies until probably next year. It was prescribed for high blood glucose.
I think we can take great heart from the fact that we could have beaten either of those sides on the MCG yesterday. For the first time in probably 20 years, we can tackle the start of the season knowing (and not wondering) that our football is good enough to go all the way.
The next piece in the puzzle is do it consistently, not just week-in, week-out, but quarter by quarter every week. Consistency is built above the shoulders, not in the gym. Time to train the mindset to believe that we are the best, and stop doubting.
Agree, but a couple of tweaks to the list will be vital too. We need more speed and the ability to get around the back of opposition defences. Some also advocate another tall defender.
To become a true premiership contender we will need to improve the structure/movement of our forwards and particularly how the ball is delivered into the forward 50 m area. Long high kicks into the area are a gift for backs to set up and defender against.
No wonder Charlie C. had a bad finals series given the way we were delivering the ball. With a less cluttered up forward line, Charlie and co may even get some effective leads in!
We also would benefit from another mid size marking straight kicking forward, imo.
cheers Ab
I would like to add in a class small forward who pressures and kicks goals. We are slightly below par here imo. Not sure what we have will improve.
Well it's over...but at some stage through the final series we had lots of players stand up to show they're more than capable finals performers.
Week three...and of course Walsh is there again I'll add Marchbank (please stay healthy in 2024) stood up and Boyd (good selection) stood up. There are a few more. Add them on.
It was a very brave effort by our boys who never gave in but looked very fatigued by the end. Boyd was a really pleasing surprise package, for me anyway. I wouldn't like to point the finger at any one of them for not standing up tbh.
I was thinking of going along with my son in law and grandson but on looking at the available flights and costs I have opted for the couch. They are Lions fans so we've agreed to barrack for whoever the winner is in the GF. Just praying we get over the line!
We were pretty hard at them for most of the game and I think this pressure got to them. They were pretty snakey in the end - they expected to win and we just wouldn't let them.
