PODCAST: SF vs Brisbane

[Queanbeyan Demon 6,899]

We've Gawn out in straight sets. How does the Club respond during the player draft/trading period? Does it:

a. undertake minimal list changes in the belief that a couple of game style tweaks and natural improvement in player development and skills can deliver a flag in 2023,

b. undertake a minor list renovation, moving on a couple of good servants that are unlikely to play in our next flag,

c. undertake a moderately radical list renovation, moving on eight or so players, including at least a couple that played in the 2021 flag, or

d. do something else?

Thank you for a wonderful pod each week. I'm a big fan.

I've been to 6 games at the MCG this year for 1 win and 5 losses, should I ever attend again or is my fierce support just too distracting for the players?

[Engorged Onion 10,224]

A sincere well done guys for doing this Pod. I'd be calling if sick if I was a presenter.

Let's park this one for the Season Review pod in a few weeks. I'm trying to not make this podcast too much of a Review/What we need to do to improve.

We'll attempt to cover all of this in the Review pod.

We'll solicit questions and comments in that podcast so please resubmit then as well definitely attempt to answer it.

Hi guys, 

Enjoying the podcast. Pity the expectations of success didn't bear fruit.

My question whether for this podcast or the seas review is:  In hindsight can we see evidence of structural change over the 2nd half of the season by Goodwin that he mentioned in his press after the loss?

Enjoyed the podcast when finally getting a chance to listen this morning.  @binman wondered what our record against top 6 teams away from the G was.  It's 13W-13L, but you should fact check 🙂

Also, at the G over the same period Hawthorn are 10W-1D-11L and Collingwood are surprisingly not much better than us at 8W-1D-18L. I didn't bother to check Richmond as we know it would be ridiculously good.

I was thinking about your question about our record at the g, and in particular your observation about the width of the g.

A big element of our defensive sytem is covering the corridor and stopping teams using it.

We also like to let teams switch, but get accross en masse and stop them at their hb.

Both strategies would presumably be harder to do on a wide ground such as the g.

And conversely, probably easier at a narrow ground like docklands.

Both strategies require strong all team defensive running g and spread, so if, for whatever reason, we are off in this regard, our defensive sytem is vulnerable, particularly if teams move the ball quickly - and particularly at tbe g.
