Timothy Reddan-A'Blew

Smacka?

Perhaps Ch.9 was after a 4-putt double bogey and Ch.7 was after closing with a nett 43 points? Seriously, though, Harry's own words, his voice, and his body language in both is there for all to see and judge how they will. Several rungs of clarity above media speculation. The response of our other players will be interesting. It's now such an 'open' thing (as opposed to Jackson's secretiveness), I suspect the 'locker room' will be into it in a big way, hopefully geeing Harry up in a positive way.

Noting the article on Billings I posted, then bumped, earlier, these conditions and reasoning might make it OK.

Lamb and Co. burning some midnight oil tonight, perhaps...

Spend a couple of years compiling a set of learnings he can pass on to his 200cm, SE Queensland successor, the next #34.

Ch.9's claimed as 'Exclusive', so Ch.7's done after? Conspiracy theory: Club got in his ear between the two? 😉

Tim Lamb's modest expectations: "As the year sort of rolled on we thought we might need some backup in that [forward] area of the ground."

(* Wonder when they fly in?) Agenda item #1 Stop Jasmine Garner: AFLCA voting 1. Jasmine Garner 60 2. Daylight 3. 49 (Laura Gardiner, Sydney(!))

...but a greater chance of a result!

Hmmmm... 'Josh Money'?

Apart from anything else, WITH A FOOT INJURY??!!

Thanks, Deever. Nice. Also, what a team. of not too many stars. Don't want to jinx us (I certainly don't think we'll fall to the Eagles in a Perth final!...) but, next year then, it could be 'Demon Spirited Attack'?

Going back to the OP (some thread it's turned out to be, eh, @FrothiesLiam?!) recall these points by Rucci, informative for 'where to now?': '[He]...rejected a two-year offer [from Crows] when he wanted three.' [described later as 'the key point'] 'One reason for McAdam’s...departure is differences between he and the club’s fitness staff...[He]...suffered both a thigh injury and fractured cheekbone in 2023.' 'There are also some other issues that have emerged through the year in that there's clearly a difference of opinion or style between him and the fitness coaches of Adelaide as to what was best for his preparations and so forth.' 'When you get that sort of unsettled moment in a footy club that can keep rolling along.' 'He has put out the feeler to Melbourne, they've put their arms around him...' [I liked this. It's what we do 😊]

@Binmans PA has put the memo on your desk, Bin? Though it appears it would be an unpopular executive decision.

It's fortunate El Niño is returning (apparently...). Improves the chances of our Gosch's/Casey team retaining this Sunshine Coast boy.

Seems it is (if 'our' = DL, at least...) Time for a reminder of this? https://www.zerohanger.com/why-arent-clubs-chasing-jack-billings-stkilda-saints-afl-trade-period-144137/

...with the addition of a non-Maxicorn game plan.

In the battle 'It's game plan / entries vs. It's inaccuracy (when it counted)', my vote's with the latter. It was the case in the H&A season, probably materially affecting our finals ladder position, and in finals, materially affecting outcome probabilities. So technique and/or mind coaching (the basis of this thread) is important. As, then, is the 'by whom?'

Looking at the AFLCA votes leader board, shutting down/out Jasmine Garner will go a long way. Time* for a tagger? Who? * Also, time for 'AFLW Rd 08: vs North Melbourne'? Whose turn?

Has there been any analysis of which shots were most problematic in 2023, both relatively and absolutely? Set shots, subsets angle and distance? In play, subsets running and snap? Kick type, subsets straight and round the corner? This might inform the type of coach experience / skill set.

(😁 A typo no doubt, YB, but...) To any who think his career so far hasn't been up to AFL standard, that'll be good news!

Would Blake Howes swap his Shane Woewodin / Shane McGrath 22?

McAdam's in. Close thread. 😁

And here's how you do it, Kossie. Keep trying! 😊 https://www.google.com/search?q=shane+mcadam+speccy&oq=shane+mcadam+speccy&aqs=chrome..69i57j33i160.16327j0j4&client=ms-android-samsung-ss&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#vuanr=4

I'm bereft. That's a cumulative half hour a day I now have to find something else to do with! But welcome, Shane, to you and to your fairly successful first name, MFC-wise. As to your surname, we'll endeavour to get it right by the time of your 30th goal in 2024.
