Nup. I fear for next year. Brown - knee is cooked TMac - will be 30 Weid - potentially had his last chance JVR - will take a couple of years to develop Jacko - Out the door We are going to have to get creative and pluck a KF from somewhere

Demons won't win the flag in 2022.
I see it the opposite of this. Backline is fine. Need more pressure up the ground, and especially in the fwd line, preventing the opposition from setting up end to end goals.

Forward Half Concerns
Spot on. Couldnât understand why BB didnât spend more time as the deep target last night. Understand he can be effective leading up the wing when we have another big fwd target deep. But what was the thinking last night?

POSTGAME: Rd 21 vs Collingwood
Would love to hear what the coaches thought of bombing to the top of the square to Melk + Fritsch against Howe / Moore or similar. Often when BB had been working up the ground to be more of a CHF target outside 50. Is this poor coaching, poor execution by the players or both?

POSTGAME: Rd 21 vs Collingwood
Melksham on Moore looked a big fail to me. Often Melk was where a KF should be positioned. And the players kicking inside 50 looked confused:- do I kick to an undersized forward, on a gun back, in the best position, or do I kick to someone near the boundary?

POSTGAME: Rd 21 vs Collingwood
The question is do great or even good teams, squander the opportunity:- right on the eve of finals, lock in top 4, everything to play for, and we couldnât handle the moment.

In Season - Loading/Periodisation: Put your conjecture here.
Feel free to take my name. R21, and we lost in a similar manner to other losses. That changes a few assumptions for me.

A big hit to use âloadersâ tonight! More than happy to put my hand up and admit when wrong. Absolutely no excuses tonight. And the similarity with other âloadingâ losses just too uncanny. Sure loading is a big factor, but more than happy to acknowledge I placed too big a weighting on how big a factor it is/was. Well done to others who favoured other factors. That second half, was just really weak in so many different ways. Sorry guys, but I fear this year will go down as a wasted golden opportunity.

Wanted to be like Draper. Really poor Max. Key moment of the game as well

For the first time this year, I agree with this view. really really poor.

POSTGAME: Rd 21 vs Collingwood
A 10 year old sitting next to me, worked out the damage Sidebottom was doing. Why do we have no ability to react / re-jig things during a game?

POSTGAME: Rd 21 vs Collingwood
No excuses tonight. Not acceptable. The better team, and somehow managed to drop it. Could/should have kicked a goal to go ~30 points up at half time. Instead allowed them a cheap one, and a manageable 17 point half time lead. Something missing I fear. Premiership teams donât drop that kind of game.

Too late to get this on our banner?

Collingwood - One trick pony
Our players have learnt to deal with expectation, and success, but many of our supporters havenât. Minds still programmed as if Mark Neeld is coach.

Which is what we like. Won 12 on the trot interstate with some hostile crowds. The more hate and booing from the pies, the better we will play.

Definite lack of fitness, hunger and ruthlessness, that he will magically re-discover in the next 2 weeks.

The No T$ No B$ Thread
Donât stress OD. Our game plan doesnât rely on a gun KPF. Sure they are handy and help, but when our defensive zone, 2 way running, midfield dominance is all in check, then just some kind of âscarecrowâ type KF will be more than adequate. Biggest myth in football is the mighty demons âforward 50 woesâ

Credit to Caro. She nailed this one.

In Season - Loading/Periodisation: Put your conjecture here.
Just had the unfortunate experience of watching Lloyd and Ross Lyon on FC (2 blokes that hate us, and wrote us off recent weeks) Apparently we beat Freo because Matthew could identify 20 seconds in that our ruthnesness and hunger was much improved. BUT the 2 $&@@$ did tip us to beat the filth. Ross even said âwe are the real deal againâ How do we get Binman on channel 9 / foxtel next year?

Strange quote from Freo coach
We should hook her up with Jacko. :)
