I agree with townsendcalling around moving Kemp into the backline. His kicking for goal reached a new level on Friday, and not in a good way. Think this will completely shatter his confidence, so swing him back for a bit to hopefully get some back. I'd probably drop Wilson, unfortunately. Very disappointed in his game. Same with Saad. Shouldn't have been picked in the first place.
Give Ison OR Moir a run as I don't think we can afford to play both.

As for LCD etc, there is a big push for bringing a lot of that back as it has been well proven to 'fix' people in ways nothing has come close to since. Its a hard sell to the public/law makers and would be harder to regulate properly.
LSD microdosing is rampant in some business sectors, mostly IT(Programming / Coding) and Market Traders, the stereotype exists for a reason.

If the current research is accurate, low dose LSD has some serious benefits treating depression and anxiety. The main problem seems to be the effective dose varies widely from person to person, it's not so easy to administer given widely varying tolerances to the effects.

If it can get sufficient funding for the R&D, I'm sure they will get it to a point of being commercial.

The other thing I'd like to see is use of cannabis oils for treatment of insomnia and tinnitus in ageing / elderly patients. There have been some significant studies that show a huge benefit to the quality of living, without the side-effects of some more widely available commercial options. Part of the problem, the companies setup to cheaply make stuff like Panadol Forte and Nurofen / Ibuprofen do not want competition and they have huge political clout.

Some of there kicks are more than clean ball use, they are "Alien" with some of the stuff they do with the footy especially inside 50 (I highlighted one previously that Charlie Cameron did a few weeks ago against Coll)
They obsess over creating goals not kicking them, we are obsessed with kicking goals, some of our F50 are still beginners, it makes a huge difference, I think that is why we have a rushed low percentage hack and they widen the view and pass it backwards to someone on a better angle.

As an aside, K, did you know -- probably do-- that most of the great discoveries and inventions of human existence were made by bipolar, high functioning autistic/aspergers, depressive folks... and so on? Neurodivergent if you like. Then, of course, you have many great artists (music, painting, sculpture etc.) who created some of their best works whilst on psychedelics! Seems neuro-normals are just destined to be consumers  ;D

I had a bit of a 'eureka' moment a decade or 2 ago when these diagnoses were becoming more common place.
I was talking to someone about it and i said that to me, it appears to be a potential next step in the evolution of humans, rather than something that needs to be 'cured'. As you say, plenty of extraordinary things have come out of it, and continue to.

I'm not sure if its ever been suggested scientifically - it might be well established - who knows.

My wife has gone back to school to study Psychology as she has an interest in it, specifically from her own, and our sons diagnosis in the last 5 years or so. Plenty of friends are in a similar boat. Wife keeps trying to diagnose me as well

I'd mentioned in another thread that our current game style is quite similar to Brisbane, and now having watched a replay it just strengthens that perception.

Really, in the first half the difference was finishing efficiency, we struggled to turn opportunities into goals and they were able to go at 50% or maybe even better. Otherwise it looked a pretty even battle all over the ground despite Draper being dominant, in the second half Draper remained dominant but the bulk of battles were still 50/50, but our ball use and decision making improved dramatically. It's almost like we learned what we were supposed to be doing off the opposition!

Brisbane's clean use of the footy would be the envy of every other AFL coach, they pick the eyes out of half a step of space.

I think this next game will be closer than everyone thinks, our weakness is our D50 but they are injury riddled which seems to be the dominant issue.

Bont could well play forward against us, he'll be wasted if he just has a head to head with Cripps and breaks even.

There will be opportunities for Harry and Kemp.

Can we play with the same intensity coming back from Brisbane?
