Water finds its level. We are comfortable being competitive and a few goals off the pace. Incredibly misleading to believe just a few extra goals win those games. You gotta perform when the heat is on.
Well said. Some on here think we just write the year off due to injury and we will see everything come good with a few changes to assistant coaches and so on. And from there we should be back to Top 4 like 2008. Well I think we will have to fight tooth and nail against every side currently above us to do any better next year. Coach is lost and lonely, players are shattered in body and spirit, Club remains homeless and leaderless with no likely hood of a flag with this average list. After 55 years I would be happy to get together with GCS, watch home games at the G and a few on sunny gold Coast during Melbournes winter.
I am trying to think of two players with the exception of Gawn and a few of the midfielders who play well together and are in sync. No teamwork other than robotics.
Not necessarily true of strong clubs. Only tonight Clarkson talked honestly and maturely to supporters and the media about the likelyhood and reasoning behind whether or not Roughead gets a farewell game. He may get it but it is a clear statement that it will not be given on emotional grounds.
Thats why I would be making Nev Jetta a long term offer with the Club when he retires to among other things mentor and take care of indigenous players welfare and attract more indigenous talent to the Club.
And yet people get called all sorts of things when you criticize the Club here. I just assume they do not realise you can love the jumper, the team and the player and at the same time hve little or no respect for the Club based on 55 years of failure and mismanagement
Well he did not Captain a Premiership side-fact. Yes it changes his point significantly. Premiership Captains are highly regarded. He made the statement to make Goody seem impressive , not me.
Goody had not success as an assistant at Essendon. Fact
Five years in at MFC we are 17th. Fact
To Brayshaw. he could have said,
Angus is down on himself for the way he is playing as you can see.
We think he is improving in some important areas
So we are encouraging him to keep working at it.......
Some honesty and positively at the same time.
Dont try and feed us rubbish when we can all see Angus is out of sorts.
I think he should focus on answering with just mature supporters in mind and not worry about the media.
Do you think he only does the ums and left leg scratching in press Conferences? Do you not remember how quickly young people pick up and laugh about teachers or coaches idiosyncrasies? Fritta, I um want you to um play um back this week.
Paddy Ryder seems on the outer at Port and looking at moving on. Co-incidentally around the time I heard this Drew Petrie was on SEN saying how WCE have five players who can play ruck on their list or in development. Interested on what other think of getting Ryder and giving max the chop out we hoped Preuss would be capable of this year.
Could be wrong but I make it 36 Ums and 8 scratchers to the left leg this week. You reckon the players dont notice this. Beyond that high praise for the Captains and Angus Brayshaw, wow.
