IT"S YOUR JOB ! ( for 3 weeks )

But don't get too comfortable , 'cos

Epic Fail Thread.

No but seriously I'll miss reading your posts Joeboy. Perhaps we can start an "epic fail of the week" thread in your absence? I'm sure this last few rounds are going to be brilliant quality football. It would be fun to point out the biggest stuff up of the week :D (and lets hope it's not winning...)

I'll remind you of that on Sunday.

It's going to be a great concept, and much like the 3 word analysis will catch on. Bring your visual aids! :D

I will be taking over the 3 word analysis from now on.

The decision is final.

Travis - your thread starts and ends with Newton (possibly a few consolations).

Whelan - kicked great goal

Jurrah - took great mark

Miller - easy shots missed

Newton - missed easy shot

Moloney - doesn't shut up

Mackenzie - had good debut

Bruce - has poor disposal

Davey - kicking a worry?

Valenti - started at FF

Morton - shut down champ

Bartram - very good game

45hotgod - was not cold

Ricky P - finding his feet

we are still waiting YM :unsure:

I know most won't really care , but my weekly thread will not appear for the next 3 weeks as I'll be tanking it overseas .

Anyone is welcome to take over in my absence .

Hopefully when you get back we have the PP wraped up. I wish I could take off for 3 weeks, I cant handle all this tanking and wanting us to lose even though I know its for the best.

Completely forgot to do this but really this game completely lacked in passion. We wanted to lose and everyone knew we wanted to lose. Guys were played out of position like Morton, any analysis completed on this game is largely irrelevant.

Morton out of position?? Bailey played him on goodes, i think he was perfect fit for the role, tall, can match him around the ground! Thought it was a great coaching move!

Morton tagging is out of position for a HBF/wingman.

Did a good job but played out of position.

Explained.

You're both right and wrong. Morton was played in a different position to usual, not a wrong position, and did well in it. It showed me that Morton has the ability to play more than one end of the ground. It also showed me that Bailey is willing to move players around the ground at the expense of winning the game.

The game did lack passion, though.

Yeah point taken. Bailey is clearly playing them in unfamiliar roles to improve their skills (and to tank). Morton is a good example. His strength is running up and down the wing racking up touches and creating play, tagging a player of Goodes' ability wouldn't be a role that he's had to do much before. I think he did very well, but Bailey is clearly not coaching to win, he's coaching for the future, and I love it.

Joeboy - enjoy those analyses

...they make me think. Have a great trip, safe return. Shalom.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
