These days I loathe Himmelberg more than Greene and Finlayson

He has been bog awful this season. Greene is almost their entire forward line at the moment, because they are getting nothing from Finlanyson and Himmelberg. Or Riccardi for that matter since he's come back in.

No need to limit ourselves or try and rank the loathesomeness. There’s a plethora of choice, someone to loathe for every taste but I admit Himmelberg’s punch of Bont over the boundary line, and Finlayson’s shush do entitle them to special kudos.

No doubt it's the excellent upbringing his father gave him that leads to his wonderful attitude to life and his respect for his opponents.

He's had a rough trot. I understand it and don't begrudge him at all. Absolute gun love watching him play.

I had the enormous pleasure of having oral surgery on Friday morning (wisdom tooth), and watching the first 3 quarters of the game reminded me of my time in the chair.

This team has a real resilience which has been missing in 2017 - 20.

And Treloar is an utter pleasure to watch.

Hope you’re feeling a bit better today Dry Rot.

Yep, Treloar is a massive pick up. The energy he brings is undeniably what our one paced midfield desperately needed.

Hope hat you're bearing up OK mate, I know the special pleasure that is having a wisdom tooth removed is.

I was walking through the middle of the city the day I was on the way to have mine taken out. Being in a hurry I crossed the road against the pedestrian lights. A bloke in a cheap suit walked up and flashed a warrant card and said "my name is constable So-and-so from the traffic division. We are conducting a blitz against Jay walkers in the city today and I just observed you cross against the lights"

He got his notebook out and opened it up and as he did it he said "can I ask where you are in such a hurry to get too today?" I said I was running late for an appointment to have my wisdom teeth out at which point he shut his notebook, put it away and said "well in that case sir I will let you go on your way because your day is about to get a whole lot worse and I don't want to add to it.

He was dead right too.

Apparently Jason McCartney approached the umpires at half time to complain about the umpiring. He is now under investigation.

Edit just saw post in other thread about the orange.

Re: WB Game Day V GWS Giants R6 2021

It was a better press conference than the usual dross that is served up.

Interesting question about the third man up, and Tom Boyd's opinion that it had a major impact on our fortunes in the years after 2016. Bevo basically agreed, noting that while we trained for it and used it to our benefit. He followed up by noting the major issue we had in the ensuing years was the huge changes in personnel that took place after the close of the 2017 season, which probably supports the theory (whatever we want to call the process of putting the right list together to compete again) that it was a huge factor in how we performed.

Further to Tom's comments that the third man up was an advantage we pushed, he also claimed the stationary man on the mark has benefitted our wish to play free flowing football. Bevo in this instance suggested that we trained really hard on how to defend it, which was also insightful.

As comrade said it was Bolton and also Del Santo was asking questions as well.

Not sure the second person was Del santo. Not sure who, but didn’t sound like Del Santo.

Would any club other than GWS pull a stunt like that and think they'd get away with it?

Re: WB Game Day V GWS Giants R6 2021

Coaches votes have come out:

8 Macrae
8 Treloar
4 Bont
4 Greene
3 Libba
2 Keath
1 Dunks

That means a coach gave Greene 4 and Bont 0 and vice versa. Pretty funny.

I don't watch those shows anymore unless I know Bevo or someone is on. They are really pathetic.

How many minutes did they spend on Carlton preforming to reasonable/ uninflated expectations?
