Dee Viney Intervention

Remember we are building something. Leaving no stone unturned. We will not waste a day, a second , a training session. Reeks of self preservation. However the player also needs to take responsibility for putting his hand up if not fit to play. Trac has some form in this space. In 2021 we were selfless as a club. We have gone away from that and we are now where we are. It’s incredibly disappointing. Use the rest of the season to look at the list, try players in different positions. Do something, anything then at the end of the year we need to make changes to the list and staff. It’s clearly not working. It’s time to be brave and make some big decisions for the good of the club. Stop being so stereotypically conservative.

Would rather Max Gruzewski from the giants. I don’t want a swing man I want a specialist forward that will lead, launch at the ball, bang some bodies and kick straight.

Don’t disagree, however forwards can block defenders for their key targets as well. The thing that does my head in about the game is that “incorrect disposal” isn’t a thing anymore. You have people being tackled that don’t kick or handball the footy ie incorrect disposal that get rewarded with free kicks for holding the man. It’s fundamentally wrong.

Couldn’t agree more. Did we really need to radically overhaul the way we play? All I wanted was to sort out the front half of the ground. Mid to forward connection and forward line functionality. What do we look like ahead of the ball when in possession . This is the missing link It shouldn’t take 3 years to do. Goody is even saying it’s a results based industry and our results speak for themselves. I think change is necessary I just hope it’s done respectfully.

I really liked the effort today but structurally it was frustrating to watch. We compress the ground so much making it small because our forwards push up the ground so far. Honestly it is so frustrating because it doesn’t suit our skill set. If we held some forwards back it would open up space for us to go fast on transition. We don’t have the depth in quality of ball users to play a possession game. It’s rope a dope football. Let us chip it around wait for the inevitable turnover then get us going the other way. Leave JVR deep forward with Melksham and a small as a minimum to straighten us up and allow us to go quick without overusing the ball and gives space for them to lead into. Not interested in honourable losses when we keep shooting ourselves in the foot.

Flew in Friday night with my daughters for their first ever interstate game, seemed like a good idea months ago. Nice day at the zoo yesterday. Brekky in Glenelg then will catch the tram in. This could get ugly. Any recommendations for a good pub near the ground for some liquid anaesthetic.

A bit like his press conferences

Three words What the [censored]

Unfortunately for the last 3 years Goodwin has been playing a giant game of scrabble with our forward line. He has 7 tiles and he’s just moving those 7 tiles around trying to make a word……..and he can’t.

One that I like that is two years away is Wil Malady for Victoria Country. Gippsland Power player boarding at Caulfield Grammar. A forward that really launches at the ball and is a good kick for goal. Exactly the type of player we are crying out for.

Great news and all round a great deal. Paying a player what he is worth, and what he is worth to us. Also now gives the club the balance of power now that he is long term contracted should circumstances change a few years down the track. Enjoy the moment Demon supporters. A statement signing giving us excitement and hope.

I was happy enough with Florian Wirz to Liverpool. Kozzie signing on for 9 more years is next level. What a day!!!!

Overall playing well. But allowing way too many uncontested marks, especially in our forward line. Crash into them make them earn it and get it to ground and see what happens.

We should be kicking ourselves for that performance…………but we’d probably miss.
