Skeptic were you at the game? If so I wonder where you were sitting. I was on the outer wing, which meant I saw his second quarter up close and it was fantastic. I wonder if you were sitting in another position at the ground or even watching it on TV you could have missed just how vital he was at t...

12 point turnaround

4 out of 5 goals courtesy of the f****** maggots. You would have to be brain dead to say that decisions from maggots have no effect on a games outcome. I won't even mention f****** unwarranted 50 metre penalties Learn the rules. Silly decisions by our captains. I am well aware of the rules. Are you...

Yes our transitions are better. Our ball movement is better. We are cleaner in tight. Freo getting a lot of F50 intercept marks but to be expected with King, Hayes and Members out.

Am impressed with Byrnes. Been good. Quick and used it well.

Am at the game and have to say it's pretty well impossible to adjudge the split second umpiring decisions from the stands. Watching at home you get a much better idea of whether it's a valid free or not.

Curly if you want to make ongoing comments about the umpiring start your own thread please Umpiring is part of the game If he wants to comment about how atrocious the fkn umpiring is then he should be allowed to comment in this game day thread Devilhead that's fair enough to comment on the umpiring...

Promising. Much cleaner than I remember us being. More aggressive

Was surprised he stayed as long as he did after last year's dysfunction.

I think play our best fit team and let the results fall as they may. Given our injury list that may well be bottom four. If you give games to kids ahead of good, established players, what does it say about selection integrity? Genuine competition for spots is at the heart of successful clubs and th...

Brook has had a good start and a good series in Pakistan, but I think those numbers will dip down quite a bit as he faces some stiffer competition. He looks.pretty formidable and solid as f***. Took Southee and Wagner to the cleaners in NZ. Bats like a quality one day player and solid test player a...

Yes, congrats to Usman, well deserved on many levels.

Looks like the Poms have a beauty as well in Harry Brook. Averaging 89 after 6 tests.

And Big Carl, I replicate your sentiment in not being surprised by the contributors demeaning reference to the prime minister of Australia I wonder what the contributor thinks of the so called “Teals”, taking the Liberal Party blue ribbon seats? So someone mentions / questions our current PM being ...

Guys please keep politics out of the footy forum.

What a beat up this whole thing is. The media just poke into any crevice looking for an oppo to pedal shyte.

I think that Australian wickets are consistent. Brisbane is nearly always a green top, Adelaide good for batting with a bit of movement, WACA was always quick. Melbourne bit of a mixed bag and Sydney a turner. Not so much nowadays. It's been homogenised with the era of drop in wickets. But no I don'...

If the Aussies didn’t sh*t the bed multiple times in the second Test we’d be 2-1 up. So I don’t think the ‘cheating’ or the pitches are the number 1 culprits for the series results. No not saying they are. Just noting how systemic the impulse to take advantage is in India. The lack of sportsmanship...

Pou to win rising star

Re the article above. Deliberately watering different parts of the pitch differently for the first test is the clearest example of the lengths the Indians will go to to make their home advantage insurmountable. And the curators are centrally employed and wear Indian team kit. Okay. But they're not c...

This article by Geoff Lemon outlines just how tough it is in to win in India. He also describes the relationship between the Indian board, team management and curators. Interesting. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/mar/06/india-should-put-anomaly-behind-them-and-resume-normal-service-in-fourth...

I always appreciate your insights into the chess game CQ.

I was really impressed with Mason Wood’s game. He could be a player who has found his spot in a game plan that suits him. Was excellent today. He looks an endurance beast. Sincs and NWM off half back, Wood and Hill on the wings. ditto re Wood.I love the way he has come on. He reminds me a lot of Ti...
