Re: Ross Lyon Haters???

? He also took them to their one and only gf appearance (and missed out by 15 points). Nobody is saying a great coach can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. You're an 'adulator' if you think it better to have a superior coach to an inferior one? Why do we have to choose between very good coach or...

Re: Ross Lyon Haters???

We missed the finals in 2012 by 2 games... we lost 2 games in 2012 by 4 points.

Also, 2016 we missed out by percentage only, 2021 by 1 game and percentage.

Now how about 2022?

Re: Ross Lyon Haters???

So maybe the difference between a very good coach and a so-so coach is that a very good coach helps a good team to win those extra games to make finals (or win prelims) that the so-so coach could not.

Re: 14 Wins

Ahem... Re: After Round 3 Predictions Post Tue 04 Apr 2023 5:07pm Ideally close to full strength in 6 weeks. Win 2-3 of those next 6, we'll be on 5-6wins, with 14 to go. Win 8-9 of those last 14.... 13-15 wins. Finish 6th to 8th. But if we can maintain and build on current momentum..... Last 2 games...

Re: So are we better than last year ?

Apparently a complicated question.

:lol:


And for all those nervous about our still making the finals... we're currently $1.02.

Also, if you put all the things that need to happen for us to miss in a multi, it's paying $15.37... maybe not a bad insurance bet.

This'll cause a permanent change.

It needs replacing. Can have too much impact, or inconsistent impact, depending on where on the ground it is awarded and at what stage of the game. Worst of all is when it's given for something technical or soft, following a shady initial free, at a pivotal point in the game, and in the forward hal...

I travelled to the parallel universe where that happened to watch the game and he hit the post.

Also he's called UDL there.

The Laws of Cricket is a code which specifies the rules of the game of cricket worldwide. The earliest known code was drafted in 1744 and, since 1788, it has been owned and maintained by its custodian, the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in London. The rules are conveniently right there, if they'd li...
