CHANGES: Rd 21 vs Collingwood
Please elaborate? all I recall is him beating his opponent on the lead with speed (but canât recall who that opponent was) or much else

CHANGES: Rd 21 vs Collingwood
What was the year where Joel Smith showed some form as a forward in the pre-season, before getting injured. Maybe 2019? If my memory serves me correctly he kicked 4 in the last pre-season game, looked a million dollars, and it came out after the game that he played a half with an injured hammy

CHANGES: Rd 21 vs Collingwood
Certainly short. I guess you could make a case that our form over the past 6 weeks is actually significantly stronger than theirs, when you consider who they have beat, and some of the games where they played poorly and just fell over the line.

Great point. In the 80âs, 90âs early 2000âs when the sport was not as professional, maybe âhungerâ, âspiritâ and the like was a bigger factor in results. In todayâs professional game, with so many of the 1 % ers just an expectation for all players, the âedgeâ that decides games has potentially shifted, since some of these ex-football commentators were running around.

We should be outright favourites for the flag. Potentially will be after we Deestroy Coll & Carlton.

CHANGES: Rd 21 vs Collingwood
Sorry overly harsh with a poor attempt at humour. Brown for Weid = â agree would love to see JVR if they think he is ready. Harmes, Bowey maybe unlucky because Melk, Rivers, Hunt all be tough to drop.

CHANGES: Rd 21 vs Collingwood
Is their any other options? as the âheartâ appears broken, and the âheadâ concussed

Ha, good point. Jakey should be a bit more careful. âWe are naturally pushing the boundariesâ might be better
-
Should Jack Viney be captain again?
Perfect VC, and great on field leader. Complimentary to Max. Am sure, Maxy leverages JVâs intensity, in moments when he feels the group needs it. But not sure JV has the different emotional levels and awareness of individual player needs to be skip again.

PODCAST: Rd 20 vs Fremantle
And not surprisingly our 2 way running, defensive zone, intensity at contest on Fri night all looked very similar to the St.Kilda game

Crows 97-98 loading programs got heaps of attention and acknowledgement as key factors behind their flags. As well as their early adoption of sports science more generally. Goody might have been taking notes

Of which Goody was a key player

So much still to play out. We really should just forget about it, and re-visit after we win the flag. What happens if LJ plays another key role in a GF win, and Freo bombs out early. Be so very tough to leave. And he could back-flip a decision at any moment during his many post flag celebration beers đ»

Oh ol! This will upset some people! And that was 15 years ago!! Think how much sports science has developed since then. A key point being that they could push things to the max, because they had games up their sleeves. Clearly something they wouldnât have done if a 50/50 for top 4 or top 8. Interesting also that it comes out 15 years later. I look forward to Trac talking us through the 2021/2022 loading programs around 2037

Well said. Is such a 50/50 as to which stance they will take. But one thing we know for sure is it will be exaggerated. Melk and the Freo jumper. You can imagine pre show, some debate about âdo we go hard saying this is evidence of ruthlessness and why Melb turned it aroundâ, or âshould we keep banging on about the cultural problems Melb have this yearâ
-

Yep, silly us and our confirmation bias. By âpushing the boundariesâ, might have also meant, pushing the mental boundaries? Peak ruthlessness? :))

And dogga holds a press conference on the eve of the first final. âI just want to make the Demons great again!â

COACHES VOTES: Round 20, 2022
We used it against them by Oliver playing a team game, opening up space for other free players, and other team focused acts. Is no coincidence that all our other mids were the best players on the ground (Trac, Viney, Gus)
-
TRAINING: Monday 1st August 2022
I guess I interpreted âa bit of a restâ as a light week, but maybe goody was meaning the usual post game rest.
-
COACHES VOTES: Round 20, 2022
Given how well we leveraged the tag from a team perspective, other teams with think twice before applying a heavy tag to Oli or Trac
-
CHANGES: Rd 21 vs Collingwood
With Brayshaw getting 5 coaches votes (Gus not Andrew), I canât see Gus being moved out of the midfield for Harmes unless there is a tagging requirement. Especially given the depth we have on the half-back flank, and therefore not losing much by taking Gus from the backline
-
In Season - Loading/Periodisation: Put your conjecture here.
Agree. As long as us âloadersâ continue to be seen as nutters, who are just part of Binmanâs cult we should be safe :))

My interpretation of what he said from about 3mins 40 on, was âgoody always says there is a delay for the benefits from our good work at training to show on game dayâ ie train hard for a month, then benefits a few weeks after that. âwe have been training hard for a good 10 weeksâ certainly interesting. Then a bit of a softener/downplay afterwards when he said âwe always train hardâ âWe are a team that push the boundaries with trainingâ also interesting.

Great to hear! Fri night has to make him think twice. In terms of showing the gap between us and Freo.
