Dan Andrews apologised yesterday to all the children who were abused at Beaumaris Primary School in the '60s and '70s.
Many will recall that one on the children was Rod Owen.
I just wanted it noted. He was such a great player.

Player can now risk suspension for tackling a player who already has forward momentum.

Re: Less vulgar commentator review
I had the TV muted and assumed that the constant replaying of the Butler tackle was about a debate over whether it was worth a free kick!

Re: Issues going forward
We were thrown off our normal game, snd scrapping to get back into it. Looked like a drop in confidence from early in the 3rd onwards. Port applied a lot of pressure, but there was a 'perceived pressure' element to it. No need for Battle to turn it over so close to goal, for example. Just settle, ha...

Marcus Windhager
I just wanted to acknowledge Marcus' goal in the last quarter.
At his age, in that position, and at that important stage of the game, I thought it was a super effort. Really knocked Essendon for six.

Some shocking decisions. One or two our way. 5 or 6 their way. How the hell was that in the back against Clark?

Re: As a Neutral Supporter
Blake came into the team showing lots of promise. There was a lot to like.
Over time, he became slow and ponderous and telegraphed every move. In one of his last games for us, he had three successive kicks smothered because of this. Became a liability.

Re: Someone famous at Moorabbin
Why couldn't it be someone like David Gilmour? :( First I had to google who this Ed character was, now I’ll have to look up David Gilmour🤔🤷🏽♀️ I know who Ed is but never heard of David Gilmour. Guess we are getting on Loris. :wink: Wow. To some of us 69-year-olds, David's really famous!

Re: Stocker Signed - Up on club website
Glad to see him join the club he supports and hoping he does really well.
Just hope he doesn't end up playing 20 games in three years and running out for Hampton Rovers.

Re: Coaches:Can they borrow from other sports?
Peter Schwab once asked Alex Ferguson what he did with players who can't kick.
Ferguson replied that he didn't have any players who can't kick.
How's that for a novel idea?!

In some ways, at least for three quarters, our worst performance since the '80s. We don't, to all intents and purposes, appear to have anything resembling a plan A, let alone a plan B. Even if we did, there wouldn't be much point. Very few have the requisite skills, either by hand or foot. As for de...
