you're best off leaving this forum to the true believers and find yourself another team!

Have you got the support of True Believer or Dis Believer or whatever they are calling themselves

Only one way to learn - LET THE MOOSE LOOSE!!!

The issue I have is I wonder if he is playing how he is being told to? Is he being told to stay within the 50 m arc and be there to contest. He is doing that constantly and is ineffective at it as he just physically not the gorilla forward type. I find it hard to believe that he is being instructed...

Just one thing to say - and - then you can return to Pou!

MOOSE!

It was Round 19, 2010 when we last had a win over Port at Docklands:

14 BLOODY years!

King's physical presence is rock bottom He is easily knocked over ... pushed out of the way .... blocked.... and he doesn't know how to or wants to work through it He also refuses to play in front or just cedes that position too easily because he gets bullied out of it In front on the lead he is pr...

Why are suggesting they cheated? Can’t remember Collingwood supporters stating that other than a missed out of bounds on an almost impossible angle. Hardly an umpire gifting us a goal They are extrapolating your opinion that the Umpires cheat every time the count goes against us and by using a flaw...

Subbing Campbell out for f*** sake. Pathetic, thinly veiled swipe at the Coach he wants sacked. Still hoping they'll bring GT back saynta? :lol: lol old mate saynta A play or 3 behind… Had to sub Campbell …..their ruck monstered him out of middle…. No choice you numpty Also - Campbell cant handle m...

We are St Kilda - of course we could!!!!

Talent doesn’t go away. He is much better than how he’s playing at the moment. I just wish I knew what was going wrong for him Perhaps - a midfield legend as a forwards coach Perhaps - not being allowed to speak to a goal kicking legend (LLoyd) Perhaps - not being given accurate and effective deliv...

For the Bloody Life of me - I can't remember the last time I actually went to the football expecting an exciting, high scoring, free flowing, enjoyable game. It was cold today It was the end of a long financial year It was a horrid time slot It was a long train trip If Sainter_Boy had even hinted at...

Competed hard... took 5 marks

Do we persevere?

Yes - even if he is just learning from Opposition Forwards - coz we sure a sh!t can't teach our forwards to lead internally

15 - 15 free kick count

A perfectly umpired game

Doesn’t that signal indicate the siren has gone? But kicks can be taken after the siren. There’s a few examples here: https://youtu.be/eNb1G7s6O3w?si=iu9ldVlp3UcebSoj Collingwood - Elliott Gold Coast - Anderson?

The AFL and therefore umpires want close games. I do not understand trying to manufacture results - but to watch Jeremy Cameron have a shot at goal after the half time siren, the umpire call play on and the kick count is beyond me. The Umpire clearly calls play on - the kick has not happened - no c...

Correct, and well pointed out.

Even more so is that with 4 Umpires you can get 4 interpretations of an event within the same game!!!!!!
