One scene I didn't like in Stalking Brian is seeing Knighter with a smile on his face. Come back to us son.

x2.
people pay their money and they can boo if they want,
but its pretty dumb to boo the greats who, love them or hate them, have put on a sublime show for years.
I assume the booing is because he elbowed a few blokes? This happens to them all.
they age and slow and what would have been a breathtaking 1:1 win, becomes a belt. Its footy.
did something I've never done.
there was clearly to be no brightness, so I went to bed at halftime

Never really got the booing thing. Re Ablett, he will be booed every week now..why?, cos of the pantomine, "its what we do at the footy nowadays, we boo Ablett". Now one day people might start booing Dusty and the hordes will follow. Surprised Ablett got booed and Selwood didnt , Selwood is far more spiteful etc than Ablett.

Agree with this. I don’t get the Ablett booing, he is a superstar. Is he being booed because he is so good? Because his father was so good? Because we Tiger fans curl up into the foetal position every time we watch an Ablett play?
Selwood, on the other hand, is a knob.

Rioli isn't spiritless, he's horribly out of form and making very basic mistakes. Needs to write run and chase on his wrist again.
Butler is good defensively but I have no confidence in him with ball in hand, he either kicks poorly or just runs into trouble - on the trade table for mine
Caddy, playing as a mid but thats not his position. Both Richmond and Geelong got him right from the start, he's a medium sized forward and playing him in the mid impacts our structures negatively both in the mid and forward line, needs to go back to how we played him in 2017 and 2018
Cotchin - Your comment is laughable, he's been out for 7 weeks with a leg injury and you are surprised that he can't run out games. Are you really that stupid?
Ellis, yes, Houli, less so
Lynch - I don't think the club even expected him to play as much as he has or by himself as much as he has in the first half of this year, he's a victim of circumstance unfortunately.
Higgins - See Rioli. I really thought he's take a step forward this year, I think we need to return him to the forward line but unfortunately we have been losing too many others.

Snake explained to me he thought some booing stems from
Ablett liking Falous homophobic social media stuff?
From my POV, im not into christian xenophobia
But its the footy, and whole booing isnt my style,
everyones different.
Back on the Cats, they deserve to be flag favs at 11-1
But no way would i back them.
Beaten by the best side going around. That doesn’t worry me too much with seven guys out.
Not showing any spirit and a total lack of system does worry me. We are in a tough spot right now.
Next four games are so important, need to grind two wins out.

I've been to a few home games this year and watch the warmups closely.
Last night Geelong - clean execution with stab passes to a team mates chest, shots on goal mostly drop punts and straight, run throughs picking up a dribbling ball thrown at them effortless and clean, congestion ruck exercises clean and finding a loose man.
Now the RFC - stab passes making team mates jump for it or have to move left and right or it just drops short, dribble shots on goal and round the corner look at me (oh and Caddy, Lynch and Butler just couldn't kick drop punts straight for goal), the same run through exercise picking up a dribbling ball saw fumbles, ball hit shins etc.., congestion work not too bad. I also saw Soldo and Balta drop so many high kick mark attempts.
I think the effort is there from the boys, the skill level and execution is letting them down. Who is our skills coach at the Club?

Ablett was delusional enough to publicly question why he was being scrutinised weekly for smashing opponents with his raised elbow. The guy has no insight and thinks he is untouchable.
That arrogance and hubris is why he was (justifiably) booed. No other reason.
My take on this current "lack of form " is that the injuries have forced Dimma to play many out of position and this has unbalanced the team.
We are getting smashed in midfield and having "Grigg-Sized" ruckman will never help get an advantage.
Lynch has no help- is lacking confidence as his body/knee is still not right and he rarelyy gets to a one on one contest . His lack of 2nd effort is due to his body issues. He'll be better when Jack returns.
Caddy is a decoy forward not a midfielder - cannot run both ways.
I think the back six will be ok after bye - settle with Grimes, Astbury, Short/Stack , Vlastin , Houli , Edwards and find another link man who doesn't panic - not Ellis/Broad . When Short is back I would put Stack on wing ( like a Brad Hill at Free ) as a "distributor "
Stick with Balta and Soldo until Nank returns
Leave pressure forwards in Rioli, Baker and Butler but Castagna is a liability skill wise. Need another marking forward - maybe McIntosh
Midfield is a worry - Dusty is the only explosive one out of Prestia, Lambert, Graham and Cotch and none have great defensive running
Only an opinion but I know we will be better after the bye. :angel:
