Can somebody please take Omac out the back and shoot him he is killing us right now

Kieran Jack ducks into Harms leg while harms not moving, free to Jack ?

How has Braydon Preuss not got a game with us until now?!!!!

Hear what you are saying and agree that we will be at our best when all of our backmen are fit, healthy and playing together. In the meantime though we need an alternative plan, if the players like frost are not smart enough to follow the plan then good coaching is altering the way you teach the plan or alter the plan itself (simplify) to get the best out of the individuals at your disposal. I’ve been coaching at very high levels in swimming for 20 years and I can tell you very few athletes are capable of swimming as I would ideally want them too, so I adjust the plan and the delivery to suit their capacity to learn and improve. That’s how you get the best out of each individual.

One wonders who is teaching these people because it really isn’t that difficult to instill a basic plan. My gut feel is that they are completely confused by the system they are being asked to conform too.

Don’t disagree with you on any of the points above. Particularly the point of that they are paid professionals. It’s always frustrated me that a person getting paid 300k+ could ever be so bad at a closed skill such as set shot kicking for goal. I mean if you said to me I’ll give you half a mil if you can kick 80% of your set shots through two sticks I can guarantee you I would learn how to do it real quick, yet so many AFL footballers struggle with it.

Well it is and it isn’t. Depending on what type of fitness work you are doing it can seriously inhibit your game day performance

This all becomes a moot point if what a poster said on one of the other forums that McCartney has been working the defense boys harder than would normally be expected this time of year which fits (in my eyes) with just how extra (they’re are slow as it is) slow the boys all look down back atm Really hoping this changes soon because we are currently looking down a very dark hole

I reckon Frost is the better option on Frankenstein. So to correct your sentence above “Sydney didn’t have Lance [censored] Franklin that night kicking 12 on Frost” ? PS they did have a pretty handy guy called Barry Hall that night who kicked 3

I had an interesting conversation with a coach of a team I won’t name. It’s his view that it’s the coach of the specific area who is responsible for the vast majority of the coaching and strategy in that area and the head coach is largely a manager of other coaches. This fits with what we have seen at both collingwood and Richmond in sacking their assistant coaches and retaining their head coach which in both cases was a very successful move. Others have posted on here that there may be rumblings on specific assistant coaches at the moment and I wonder if we will see a shake up in that area at years end.

I always admire your positivity Wise but... BURMA, BURMA, BURMA, BURMA, BURMA, BURMA, [censored] BURMA!!!

Now Harmes learns how to kick ?

Totally agree, but the 4 goals as a direct result of bull shot frees certainly doesn’t help

Wow, so that’s game then.

Why when we are behind are we kicking it wide to the wings?

TMac giving the ump a mouthful behind play there

Did nothing wrong there, want even close to being a free kick. Essendon guy was holding him. commentators on 7 calling it [censored]

That’s exactly what happens when you run under it.

Why does he keep running under it? he was in perfect positio there and it was kicked straight to him and he ran himself into the worse possible position.

Perfect lead from forward... kick it over their head ?

LEARN TO [censored] MARK YOU BUNCH OF IDIOTS,

Can anyone tell me why when it’s heading inside our forward 50, our guys are all trailing the Essendon defenders?

Goddam, were back to over hand balling ourselves into trouble again ?

Just went over to bomberblitz to see what they thought about the umpiring. they are saying nothing, so you know it’s favoring them. Man they are worse than us at eating their own.

Obviously haven’t seen many games
