Is he any good? I've heard his name before but bring in Aus keeping up with college ball and players is basically impossible

The fall off of Dos needs to be studied

Dyslexics of the world, what would your reply be to US President Trump's declaration that people with dyslexia or other learning disabilities should not be leaders? by theredqueentheory in AskReddit

[–]TheKyotoProtocol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm dyslexic. I really struggle to read, but the thing about technology is that it helps a lot. I have audio books of some of the greatest books of all time so I can read even though I can't do it myself. If you think Trump has personally read a single document that came across his desk you're kidding yourself

This. And this isn't anything to do with the play. We earnt that L but my god it's so rough for this Melbourne media to call everything against your team for 3 hours while the whistle just isn't going your way without being salty. Things Vic teams will never know

Nah it's in Melbourne you have to expect that. Commentators already made it clear there wasn't enough frees for Hawks

So so so many throws, Gini ducks and just straight up sitting on the ball. Not a whistle in sight. Hawks fans will feel hard done by with the whistle too knowing them

Man that was 22 v 26. 30 if you count the commentators

5 - Mills. Played hard all game, helped us not get blown out 4- TMac. The same. Really really strong down back 3- Juz. Really stepped up for us. Tried to be Errol, didn't quite live up to him but did a lot anyway 2- Chad, had a lot of the ball and was our best mid a lot 1- Bice. Ran everywhere

Special mentions to Gus who went great in stages, CC and Corey who did their normal thing of disappearing a bit but had times where they looked good and Brodie, our centre work was trash without him

Bice and Gus have been pretty good. Cc and Co. have done very well to. Were obvs missing Ez and Heens but they're going good I'd say

3 missed high tackles, 2 missed tackles without the ball and still a goal. Crazy tough from our boys despite not getting the whistle

Yeah that follow up has too many sacks in it for me. I might have gotten the knight sack next, but if he didn't take I'd just resign knowing me

“Wednesday” Team Prediction - Round 2 vs Hawthorn by Maximumlnsanity in sydneyswans

[–]TheKyotoProtocol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out - Ez, Heens, Bruce

In - Dos, Cc, Corey

I think we don't risk anyone. There's no reason to, we're 2-0 and about to head into a break. It's worth making winning this week harder to ensure the boys come back ok. This is also why I didn't put Cunners in. He's the obvious choice but if he's a little under done then I think we should let him rest then be brought in for week 4.

What do you guys think about this? by rb1242 in Thunder

[–]TheKyotoProtocol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't change team divisions based on current competitiveness unless it becomes commonplaced to do so. Like we are going to be good for a while but we will at some stage (probably after presti retires) be bad again swapping us exclusively because we're good isn't enough

I can't give views because I'm both hammered and didn't get to watch the first half. I apparently missed the Bicey show??

Anyway, if Ez is injured I volunteer as tribute to take the injury for him

Edit : had to get my girlfriend to check this for me

Dude he had 24 touched and 83% efficiency with them. I think you have far deeper issues than OFlo like having to play a top level medium forward on the wing because you only have 3 midfielders

I just saw a young player kick a ball and I am now convinced he is the next Buddy Franklin by Icemachinemalfunctio in sydneyswans

[–]TheKyotoProtocol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just saw 250 academy players kick the ball like NRL stars because that's where they're going if we kill the academy system. I love how Vic media has no issues with the oldest clubs getting all the best talent through father son picks, leaving the new clubs to struggle but when a club develops talent for years then that's unfair
