Yes I wholeheartedly agree AW Good trading! Given our poor development record.

Why do we continually Bomb the ball long? Is it a part of our game plan? Is just panic stations and players don't want the reSposibility of hiTting up tragets or being creative inside 50? WHAT EVER IT IS MR GOODWIN "IT IS NOT WORFKING" FIX IT!!

Ahrrrrmmmmm Melbourne does!

George That is entirely too sensible an idea for the Circus called the AFL It has worked a treat at Brisbane

I dont think that is quite right.He gave plenty of second and third efforts cleared his own ball a few times. I thought he gave a creditable performance on the day. He was in our top 5 players .

YEP I have been a long time supporter of ANB over the last few years mainly based on his work rate. He is now a serial misser of goals and as you say gets in the way. He collided many times with his own players on Sunday. Bring in JKH ( Cant believe I said that)

Agree completely Macca. Loved the win, game almost unwatchable at the ground People around me were laughing at the poor skills on display all game so I can be a lil negative about that. So who is available to poach in he off season? I aways thought Finlayson was a chance but I believe he has resigned. Any suggestions out there?

Yes he does and he does it every week Poor judgement and reading of the flight or perhaps isn't starting in the right spots Needs to address this urgently

Thanks Rusty for doing all this It gives me some idea of an evidence based assessment I try to review the players and teams totals with my visual assessment in comparison and it seems to fairly accurately correlate

Hard to tell with a banana Top or bottom

Yes of course the existing culture is so good so solid so perfect<

I am not that confident Stig I will go along as usual but Danger Danger Danger second last here we come!

Agree completely re Salem Almost perfect kicking and decision making A diamond in the S#*! pile

Reece Shaw and Teague took 1 week to get a better result so 1 week for the DEES changes except nothing changed the ship is still listing badly but the chairs are in order

Been saying it all year. It is really obvious when you watch it live at the ground. Its the game plan that doesn't produce enough results for the risk the players have to take. Back to the drawing board. The other disappointing thing is that when we are beaten soundly at the midfield contest, the coach makes no changes, just sits there and watches do the same things over and over and over again. Bizzaaro really!

Never has been. VFL standard with the worst disposal under pressure I have seen. You are right he runs around a lot really well.

I'm with you Pates!! The coach appears to me to dumb and stubborn The worst possible traits combination. The Game plan isn't working. The players can't or won't play it at an acceptable standard. The player group appears to be frustrated at being made to play it. The team tries hard, plays on at all times, takes risks, tackles hard and runs back in defense. Come 3/4 time they are flogged and concede easy goals Change the game plan and lets see the obvious quality of our current list on display. Carlton likely to go past us next week.

Cheers DD Hope you recover fully after your 6 months rest

I have it to DD. There is nothing really you can do but rest and do targeted muscle strengthening. I don't play footy any more but I am very active GYM RUNNING ROWING and this is purely down to over use and as I have been told some constructive weakness in the design of my body. I doubt it was made worse but I do know rest is the only cure. I don't think he should have played on on the day. I wish Joel a good recovery and look forward to seeing him well and playing great footy

Then we must trade for what we need right?

Very sound commentary CHF We are losing nothing by encouraging and facilitating a mini preseason for OM It may pay dividends next year.I, for one, am impressed by the clubs proactive approach. Although perhaps harder work earlier in his career may have helped. It may just be he is a body type that finds it difficult to put on muscle mass. I have played with people like that before.

The epitome of Kaos

Mate this season has been over for some time just the club wouldnt admit it. Time to head up to the snow Shushhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh----

Different surname he might have struggled to have been drafted
