2021 - What excites you?

I guess something positive to take from Richmond getting a third it is the reminder that their success has come from a transformation in the lower half of their best 22, not from needing to gather superstars.

They've now got a heap of quality players but you don't look at them and go 'wow'.  Check their 2019 best and fairest -

  1. Dion Prestia 91 Votes
  2. Shane Edwards 79
  3. Dylan Grimes 75
  4. Nick Vlastuin 70
  5. Tom Lynch 69
  6. Dustin Martin 67
  7. Bachar Houli 64
  8. Kane Lambert 63
  9. David Astbury 55
  10. Jason Castagna & Daniel Rioli 47

Rance is the only major difference in the previous years, too.

 

For me the most exciting thing about 2021 is  that I might get a chance to visit my Mum.

With that in mind, it's never a bad time to thank everyone who has done their best to do the right things in 2020.  It's been a tough year and could have been a whole lot harder if the local hospitals had been hopelessly overwhelmed as well.

    The faint possibility MFC listen to me and get on the phone to Gary Ablett tomorrow. Gary was lauded for the timne and help he gave to a Tiger player in the outer quarantine bubble. he willingly shared his knowlege and offered encouragement to an opposing player. Tell him we would love him to give, say, 6 sessions of midfield skill, not structures or game plans to our mids including Oliver, Trac, Viney, brayshaw and Co. Pay a fair $$$ but appeal to his generous spirit and love for the game.

    You can't teach what Gary has. If we're not talking about coaching ie: not the structures or game plans then he can't really impart anything. He can't transfer his skill and g.o.a.t-like qualities. Sure he can tell them to train hard and do the extra yards and yadda, yadda, yadda but they should already know that and be doing that. For that they can talk to Max 2019 preseason or Trac 2020 preseason.

    I get your frustration. As a club we should be doing everything in our power to be the best. Get the best people, on and off the field, get the best facilities and impart the best wisdom. If Gary can coach (and just because he was a great player doesn't mean he can coach) then he'd be a great asset but getting him in for a few token sessions isn't going to change anything. And as I've said, most of what he's got just can't be taught.

    I’m not sure what Goodwin’s strong points are as a coach or person but the players highly regard him! 
     

    In my opinion from observation, I don’t think he is a great game day coach with strategy/structure. But to have Yze compliment in this area as will will Goodwin vice versa...

    So yes we do him for 2021 and beyond if the footy department is successful moving forward... If we go backwards I think he will be selling meat raffle tickets in an Adelaide pub!

    I'd reckon that the Ooze will have a high and continuous, evaluating exchange on The Team and its performances with his former teammate, Brad Green. I would see this as a higher level and regular scrutiny on both the Board and FD about coaching, player development and team selection options, plus quite a few directives, challenges and status reports.

    Good luck

    The UAE has been making many thousands of doses of the Chinese vaccine available and all seems okay so far.

    Early days though

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
