Well I have crunched the numbers and calculated that this means we are going to lose by 149 points.



That's disappointing.......
In 1983, I remember watching Fitzroy smash Norf at the Junction by 150 points. It was considered the complete performance. North had smashed Carlton by over 100 points just a few weeks earlier.

A few weeks later after the Junction Oval result, Carlton went on to beat Fitzroy comfortably.

At the time it was considered a bizarre set of results.
Was there an integrity unit back then?
Yes, very odd. It was before football betting.
There was never a before football betting.
Was there footy betting back then? I didn’t think there was.

There were probably unofficial betting markets.

If we don’t do something different this time around against Cats then we are dumb.
Forward line get on the move
Do not stand in a huddle waiting for Cats defenders to pick us off
Man on man Defence - forget one stuff they’ll lead up and chop us up
Pressure- Tiges brought it early they don’t like it..they like uncontested ball..don’t give them room


“Yeah….nah””

Our forward line has been our main weakness for 8 rounds and we'll beyond. Gee it would be a great time for Max to have a breakout game.

I heard that building pressure against sides that zone, like space and dictate the pace of the game can be achieved by chain handballs.

Perhaps that is something we should look into when in possession.

When not in possession?


You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!
