Skills automatically become better as the gameplan becomes more imbedded. It’s high risk ..high reward ..that is the gameplan so early days be prepared for turnovers. I’m amazed that after only 3 games we are having some brilliant moments. As Kingy said ..our senior players have played round 10 yrs a certain way & are being asked to change all that. Different players will take diff times but Lever certainly proved that they are getting there. It’s a long way from perfect but so much fun

Yes they didn’t explain that …but I guess we’re extremely fast. Hoyne also acknowledged we’ll make mistakes with this game style & accept it. This will drive some D’land posters insane ..,

Just watched Daniel Hoyne on First Crack. He highlighted Melb. He said that in the 8 years they have tracked the “speed of ball movement “..,the AFL average is 100 ..we are 161 highest . Our speed of ball movement from a set position i.e. mark or free kick is 205 …fastest in AFL history. He highlighted a few plays ..some that came off & some that didn’t but he said the Club will wear that. He said Melb fans should strap themselves in. When asked if it was sustainable..he said we might get opened up against the better teams but if GC isn’t on defensively.. look out ..we could open them up .,,

He was “omitted “ part of that was knee soreness.. part team balance & Rather lame attempt at sarcasm..but each to their own with whatever rocks their boat ..

You can go onto the SEN app & listen to Fireball with David King & Kane Cornes interviewing Kingy. Whilst I’m not a great lover of the hosts …I really enjoy listening to our coach & found what he said really interesting.

Believe you said that about Tholstrup & Sharp …possibly others …

Nice black eye for Hibberd. Just shows the amount of love and respect these ex players have for Max & Tom & also the club ..it was great to see.

A special thanks to you Binman. I’m pretty sure it was on your Stats file podcast you were explaining why we will still be seeing the long kicks in our gameplan & various other components. At the game you could see you were absolutely correct with your analysis. I look forward to both the podcast & the Stats file this week. As supporters we are extremely lucky to have 2 sensational podcasts every week. Your efforts are very much appreciated

Kings has said many times that he wants all his players to play multiple positions so we’re going to see many moves like this. It’s why it’s so exciting to watch …a player may be struggling then he’s sent to another position and we see literally a new player ..I love it

We actually played better in the second qrt ..that’s when it started. Just couldn’t put the score on the board. Looked lethargic first qrt .. possibly from the physically taxing game in Freo..Carlton full of beans off a 17 day break. It was purely skill based ..fumbling ..dropping marks..fluffing kicks & then they started to tidy that up. But agree …can’t do that against the better teams..

Absolutely…I can’t wait to go & honour in a very small way our GOAT & another incredible stalwart of our club TMac. Perfect day for footy …hope as many come as are able

TMac has been emergency for both games …so an in form TMac over Adams who is not in AfL form ?

Very true but according to several posters one bad games is enough to make several changes …

Pretty sure this year these decisions aren’t based on outcomes. So if someone gets concussed it’s not an automatic suspension & vice versa. If this is true then there should be no reduction in this case. Potentially a very serious injury could have occurred..,

Karma …

Bit harsh …they were a young team with many new players. Bulldogs had 15 AFL listed players & experienced ones at that. Lack of tall forwards for us. They fell away but far too early to judge yet ..

One of the most sensible analysis

I really hope the whole club from President to Boot Strapper wishes him well & makes all the appropriate comments ..,

Yes

I wish the posters continually bringing up the past can take a leaf out of Kingy’s book “ I’m not here to talk about the past…I’m all about these boys & what’s ahead” (paraphrasing)”

Pretty sure same Media team. Paul Guerra sat them down & said “make it fun”.

Great news ☘️

I’m sure there are many D/Land posters who have connections to players /officials etc at the MFC because let’s face it.. they are just people who live in our community. I def do but would only ever post something that wouldn’t affect them or wasn’t positive. The amount of censure & critique Ghosty got for basically trying to put our minds at ease regarding Fritta was ridiculous & unnecessssry . At the end of the day..her comments that “it was a beat up” & “he will play” proved correct. Certain posters believe whatever the media says but attack our own for passing on some good info. I enjoy all Ghosty has to offer but I wouldn’t bother posting any good pieces of info because you would ultimately get shot down in flames. Absolute bullying .,,

Listened to a podcast Code AFL discussing songs after goals & other things. Apparently the clubs decide, I didn’t pick this up on TV but apparently St Kilda were running with the Knock Knock who’s there theme ..sounded bizarre. They weren’t fans of the songs but conceded “clubs are maybe trying to grow a younger demographic”.?

That last paragraph nailed it 👏🏻
