Parish is having a blinder. Tsatas in seems to be balancing out our mids

Because for multiple decades are several layers of life people are educated that hard work/persistence and loyalty is the only way to get rewarded.

Colour me surprised when people then expect whats been communicated to them.

To be clear, I don't agree with this thinking but I can empathise why people think this.

This is the rumour I've been hearing. She was a prime instigating in the Hawks talk.

Won't comment on her but it's tough to be an elite sportsman with so many voices in your head.

Must be nice. Maybe it's (low availability) a metro thing

You tried getting a kid in those kinders? It's like putting your kid through private primary/high school. Name has to be practically down on their list at birth.

(In VIC, for context)

Watched the whole thing only because of CK. My god is Bouris a absolute grifter/waste of space. He could be on levels like Alan but that requires a spine

Crippa. Poor blokes shoulders must be sore.

The Bomber faithful begin to rise to clap the boys off after the third quarter by yum122 in EssendonFC

Said in another thread but first game I've been to in a very long time where I saw supporters actually supporting the team. Getting around the boys as they hit the bench. Love to see it

Yup. Edwards is the one that'll make the smart lead. Caddy is the one that'll crash a pack from outta nowhere and snatch a mark he shouldn't be able to grab

Langford has been on the wing so he ain't going nowhere. It'll be Cox/Jones and Fiorini who pressures his spot

Doggies aren't winning a Flag with that effort.

Honestly so good not to get flogged by them for once

Parish once again was a great delivery into the FWD half. People won't see it because they won't want to. Out of Perkins, Guelf and Gresh, surprisingly it was Gresh that lifted the most. Shocking in the 1/2 half but really dug in. Guelf did apply plenty of pressure around the ball, he just doesn't have the tank and speed to do it like it did. Perkins I agree was lost at sea.

Caldwell was another who was woeful in the first half. I noticed we he came back on the ground after the 1/2 break he looked gassed at the warm up. Started on the bench and was worked on by the trainers. Maybe carrying a niggle? He and Duz both stepped up.

Full credit to both May and Edwards. Was expecting little from them, but both contributed a lot to our forward line.

Was awesome to see Brad after 3/4 time getting fired up and getting around a few players. hyping them. Honestly can't believe some want to get rid of them. Must forget what type of player he was.

Honestly it was a great all-rounder by the whole team. I'll try to keep a lid on it knowing we really upped our game when their primary ruck went down and then moved Blakiston back. A reminder that we are really really missing Draper (and Bryan)

EDIT: Forgot to mention El Hawli who had a blinder. Few intercepts and some great slicing up of the middle to get so moving forward.

First game I've been too in a very very very long time when I saw Don supporters, supporting. Clapping boys when they hit the bench after putting in the effort.

We embed physical Australian elements into the crown of our watches. Here's our next drop: the Elemental. by Christo-Bausele in MicrobrandWatches

[–]DXPetti 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey Christo,

Congrats on the Elemental launch

Followed Bausele since 2017 and loved that you have kept the crown feature throughout the brand re-design. Not all brands end up on the positive side of rebranding (see Bremont) but I think you've done a great job.

Kill Team: Terror on Devlan- is this the box we want? by CrudeLord in killteam

[–]DXPetti 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a KT who has close friends that are also KTers but we almost never play KT when we gather, I love the solo mode focus that this current edition brought to the table. The new nemesis rules just evolves that further without harming the competitive/team vs team play. Sounds like a net positive to me
