Wallace Calls Out Goody

And our game plan has achieved exactly what it can. It demolished inept opposition...and stalls against anyone knowing what they are doing. 

Footballs equivalent of the Peter principle...in a fashion.

    In essence I totally agree with you 

    This is why I wanted Sloane,,, and to ADD to our 26 & 27Yr olds this year...   as they lead our kids to higher standards.

     

    We are not what we think we are. 

    Bottled supporter bathwater again, being overly Optimistic;,,,   then the switch turns,  and we go full lock Pessimistic.

     

    The truth is in the, 'in-between'.

    This is the bit that worries me the most. 

    Where is the tinkering and adjustments?

    seems to me we play pretty much the same way each week against different opponents....

    Just 2 kicks going the other way and we'd be sitting 2nd on the ladder playing to set up a home QF this week. :cool:

    ....and 3 days ago we were in the 8 'by default'; which was a pathetic call.

    It really is swings and roundabouts - if the two games against Geelong went the other way the Cats are sitting 12th and missing finals after overachieving the last 2 season's and topping up with Ablett to have a tilt with Dangerfield in his prime and Selwood on the downward curve. Does Scott still get a 4 year extension if that's the case?

    My wife is a cats supporter so I see a lot of their games. A lot of cats supporters are not overly enamored with Scott.

    Geelong has recruited better than any other team IMO in the past 12 months.  Their mature aged recruits (Rata..., Kelly), really surprised us round 1.  Jack Henry is a multi-dimensional tall that should go close to rising star.  I know Scott doesn't necessarily 'recruit' and that is Wells' job, but Scott has done really well to keep Geelong from bottoming out.  Don't forget he was there at Freo during their resurgence for memory.  Opposition coaches rate Scott.  Whether they won or lost the close games this year, it is immaterial.  Only nervous MFC supporters and Lyon get dictated by results, rather than fundamentals.  Look at Roos on OTC last week.  He wasn't panicking like the rest of the pack. 

    Having said that, we will pump them in round 1 of the finals IMO.  See how Ablett and co. don't run defensively from congestion on the OTC footage tonight?

    I don't disagree but they would be feeling the heat from supporters who thought Ablett might be the difference between 3rd and a flag.

    I get to most Cats games, family is surrounded with Cats supporters. Most supporters are outraged by his 4 year extension and many wanted him gone, or at least wait until the end of his contract to see next year. Has crumbled in finals, inherited his list from Bomber and tried to top up every year. Tried to buy a flag with Danger, who cant hit the side of a shed and has held on to many injury prone players and dead wood while they don't have a lot of top end junior talent.

    I think he's quite overrated as a coach, who was blessed with a core bunch from their glory days. Not to mention he's an arrogant pig. This season has been a failure for them "so far" with that midfield. He'd want to get them close this year and not hanging on to the 8 next year or their will be a riot at Kardinia Park, you hear it in the crowd during games.

    All supporters see is they have only won 3 of their last 11 finals, not good enough with that list.

    Goody has said all season that it only matters where you are at the end of Round 23.  He has shown so much patience and faith in the team.

    He looks like a genius now compared to media clowns like Terry Wallet.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
