The Sports Desk / Re: World Cup 2026
Up until a few days ago I couldn't have named one player or the coach in the team, now I know a few with one absolute stand out, Nesory Irankunda who just kicked our first goal of the tournament. He's young and small with a kick that is said to have put a ball through a net. Apparently he got that from his ol man who was know to break goal posts with a kick of the ball. Nes once hit a defender in the head and was concussed for a month. He has been known to do a Michael Jackson dance while donning a white clittery glove after a goal. I think this world cup might be fun to watch.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Dean could elevate Weitering's play
Weiters is clearly enjoying have Harry playing beside him which is similar to Cripps with Jagga I suspect. Its a happy coincidence that its happening at the same time. Weiters was showing the pressure and not enjoying his footy and the leadership commentary that was an unnecessary pressure that he wasn't accustomed to and didn't really deserve.  Nice summation RR

Can I say too its bloody fantastic
To see some
True dumping tackles being laid by some
Of our team - Talor Im looking at you! For too long we dont make the opposition pay with solid hits but Talor a few times last night I saw absolutely bury his opponent.
Love it!

He's from Koroit, Irish settled spud growing country. Gotta be tough to play in those leagues in the South West, but decent honest friendly people when you meet them at the local. If you ever get a chance go to the Woolsthorp hotel.

Relentless. Never dropped our heads. Tackling pressure - magnificent. Kids through to leaders - bravo. To C Scott and his whining - get st*ffed.

Scott knows how to play the media and that wanker Ralph who thinks he knows something about the game. I didn't mind Scotts interview after the game, he carried on not really saying much or anything apart from the non goal ad nauseum. He protects his players and the opposition players as if they exist in another universe.

OK, so 4 or 5 weeks ago the media wanted Cripps, Harry and Weits traded. Our kids had no talent.
We could not hit targets, long kicks done the wing and watch the ball come back with interest.
So what has happened, same players. As my friend mention while we are watching the game, you guys having been taking the piss . I am so confused but love it. Go Blues

Taking the piss. As good an explanation as any if not the best.

Fraser isn't afraid to make moves to stop any opposition momentum. Sending Gov to the back line was a nice move. The forward line isn't as cluttered and we're catching the opposition defence out of position by taking the game on and running the ball through the middle.

Cripper is spending more time in the forward line and McKay is doing more rucking.Nice to see McKay enjoying his football again and didn't seem to mind that pass from Jagga either.

 The real test will be next week.

Ison should never play in the VFL again, he's got a real presence. Even in the dance pregame in front of so many people he had his own moves which were cool. It wont be long before the opposition will be putting some serious time into him but I can't see him being to phased. His kicking wasn't those high floaters that to many of his team mates can only manage. Let him be the prototype for the new list manager.
