Nathan 'the lizard' Murphy. (See what we did there?
) This one is for you!
Moves we'd like to have seen for that last quarter:
- Bytel subbed-on for Cordy.
- After the first bounce, The Hammer into the ruck,
- ... and The Marshall down forward to give the Skunks marking defenders something to think about.
- Also look at Chito to CHF on Moore, and present, present, present to keep him honest.
Oh well. Got 1.5/4 granted. (Bytel and if not The Hammer, Mitchito into the ruck. Though the latter move came a bit late.)
We won every stat' except for kicking efficiency (which wasn't too bad though) and free kicks for (of-bloody-course).
Oh, and goals kicked.
- Gresh and Hill played their worst games of the year.
- The Marshall wasn't effective IMHO (despite what the ranking points and possie' stats say). Marshall rated one of the best on ground. Thought that whilst he tried hard, he didn't dominate as one would expect, given they had no rucks. Not many contested marks. Didn't once (that we saw) drift forward to be a threat. Wondering if he's 100%(?) Couldn't chase a bloke late in the 2nd quarter.
- N-W-Aeon-M was down a bit.
We need the likes of The Hammer, Chito and Pou Power contesting marks across half forward... not Missy and the Butler. So the former group need to move up the field a bit when playing as forwards.
We won every stat' except for kicking efficiency (which wasn't too bad though) and free kicks for (of-bloody-course).
Oh, and goals kicked.
In other words... we lost by a goal, but we're still top of the tree with over a third of the list missing.
Hellova' lot to work with.
Next week:
Ae-ins: Steele, Members (hope he's match fit).
Ae-outskis: Paton, The Hammer (stiff).
Ae-on notice: The Butler.
Tempting: Highmore in for Cordy.
Oh. Nearly forgot.
Hey lizard boy!
This one's also for you, f*****r.

Why can't people enjoy the start to the season? Who has pencilled in our 2nd flag or even finals? It's exciting because it's unexpected and without some of our usual suspects.
Lighten up BM and enjoy the ride

- Shrunken testicles no longer producing sperm
- Project their own personality and shortcomings in their abuse

- Love the anonymity of being tough guys behind a screen and keyboard
- Are weak, slovenly fat c###s
- Suffer from IBS and flatulence
- Have abandonment issues
- Poor grooming and bad personal hygiene
- Had excessive masterbating habits as youths
We see what you did there.
Shifted the thread topic from the Skunk player to the Skunk supporter base. Smooth transition.
That said though, mental health is not something that the Flux Report takes lightly. That's why it's heartwarming to see that there's a new service available for some of those who are most in need.
Where Have They Been What Are They Doing?
Not much this week. But HarryM
did take the Pug for a spin from Ferretville over to the Gather Round. Onya Harry! ZZ's favourite chess master sample sizing welcher (not 'Welsher', Nosh
) is still locked in his local pub...... alone. That's the way he likes it. (Apparently.)And young Loris is out and about again, searching for, and finding, the unwary.

Dearest Aeon,
Don't worry. We still haven't been beaten by anyone above us on the ladder.
Looking forward to seeing you at the footy again honey. This week we'll be singing the blues to Carlscum!
Love and Fortius Quo Fidelius,
- Fred.
