Last post by Thryleon -Problem is two of our easy hames are Collingwood on Pendlebury's 400th and Hawthorn. St.Kilda is never easy at the best of times either.they'll have the queue in the rack by the end. Hawthorn won't maintain their rage. They've been plucky but by the time we face them their season will be over.

Last post by Thryleon -At the start of the season my greatest concern was expectation. And how we would deal with it and rise above it.isn't that the whole point of saying we can't have it our way all the time?
So let's distill and keep it simple. Here's the boring repetitious stuff that I've being banging on about for months (that erases nervous expectation delivery)... be the hunters. Live it and breath it.
A cliche that p1sses me off is... 'we know we can't have it all our way all the time...' what a ridiculous obvious reality to put in the player's heads and hearts - it opens a back door. It's a lapse excuse. It's a lapse justification. That's human nature, don't feed it with comments that give a lapse a justification or excuse.
Hunters crack the sh*ts with lapses. Hunters are intolerant of lapses and letting other sides in. Being the hunter should be and must be the default and the ruthlessly persistent position. And if someone hunts us... fckn great... 'now I'm going to hunt you harder than you hunt me, and for longer'. Hunters inspire and lift team mates. Hunters create an energy and spirit that is contagious & omnipotent... and a great single focus, provided, in our game, you have the blokes who can deliver. In the main, we have those blokes. A hunter culture weeds out non-hackers real quick. Examples? Newman is a hunter, so is Weiters, so is Acres, so is Crippa, so is Charles, so is TDK. I'm sure you can think of examples of blokes who once hunted, succumb. They're not hunters. Above the shoulders stuff, again.
This is a combative sport. Keep it simple. Be the hunters for 120 minutes. Every single minute.
To keep you fighting when it isn't?

Last post by Professer E -I think Walsh's back issues are a real issue, he's lost any burst speed. "Back related" hamstring used to be thing, and a real concern
Cerra needs a rocket as well. Play with intensity or piss off to Cramer Street.

Last post by ElwoodBlues1 -I'd think about Lemmey as well. Right now we have blokes playing that have missed pre season and missed a chunk of the season. That includes Walsh, who is looking tired. We are playing premiership footy for a qtr then are cooked. We can't play more than a qtr right now. Just don't see why Cottell plays. Why bring him straight back after injury. Binns must come in, fresh and can go all day.Id be promoting Binns this week for the extra run in his legs and to show the club will reward good VFL form.
I'd be telling Lemmey too that if he can play consistent footy like Binns has he too will get an opportunity.

Last post by laj -I'm done with Young and would prioritize Lemmey. The former was terrible last night and you would get more of a contest at a nursing home bingo night than we got from Young.I'd think about Lemmey as well.
