picket fence

What a bulltish and unprofessional operation if true. Ask Clarko.. it is always horses for courses! Faaark me we aren't pandering to flighty egos like in under 14s I hope!?? Oh hang on maybe we are!!

Zone defence works on the theory that you bloke prospective avenues from your attacking 50 by putting your forwards and others as designated in outposts! The idea is that you may not bloke the first chip kick but your can sometimes effectively stop the second kick out of defence thus shortcircuit the next attack. I NEVER liked it in any form of footy and when I coached I always played man on man defense thus forcing a contest! The problems percieved in this is that if opposition get the ball a quick team just all roll forward and create various options of ball delivery. My view is if you play man on man you force the first kick to a contest! I reckon that is much more preferable than an instant and cheap first possesion which then invites a swith and whammo you are on your way!!

about as much as i know!!

And after 52 friggen years in the wilderness people are calling for Calm?? FMD

Yeah well, Petracca goes hard something that the ex Demon NEVER DID!

Too bloody true, an under 12 Coach would have picked this Up!!

EVER..... A FRIGGEN DEESGRACE THAT HE WAS EVEN THERE!

OLIVER SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN OUT!! PERIOD!!

Time to bring White in also impresses me greatly!

Just what we didn't need Brayshaw concussed again in the game today Vs Essendope! He cannot take a trick!!

I strongly suggested Oliver for Harmes, possibly ANB for Frost ! Hunt, Wagner were rag dolled yesterday, Kent left his form back at the G and Lamumba did as he does and if it works , Fine if it doesn't it looks and is horrible. Most scathing criticism re players is with Mc Donald, FWIW I would contemplate a trade for him at years end for the following resaons 1 He is too hit and miss with kicking 2 He gets outmanouevered time after time 3 He makes Dumb Decisions If we perservere with Frost then give him a chance down back! Biggest criticism is with abysmal coaching yesterday!

Coz they know more than us and are paid to know more, how logical is that eh??

Correct, but wiaser heads that know more on this site will find an angle for everything!

OMG I had a shocking nights sleep and some strange dreams which were very nightmarish! This how it unfolded as I dreamt the following! In this edition of "Outside the Fence" I interviewed St. Kilda Champ Nick Riewoldt after his sensational game yesterday! PF: Congratulations Nick on a fine game yesterday 24 Quality possesions 7 Contestested 18 uncontested, 14 marks and 3 Goals NR: Thanks Fence! PF: Wow 18 Uncontested possesions was anyone actually playing on you?? NR: Ah um ahh yeah sort of PF: For a man of 32 or is it 33 you certainly play a lot younger and by that I mean the energy and exuberance you displayed were reminiscent of your younger days. NR: Well the fitness dept are very good and I do keep myself very fit! PF: You certainly like playing against Melbourne eh Nick? NR : Yes I don't mind it actually I seem to have some luck and play well against them PF: Yes you would think after all the times that you have dominated against them they would have a definate plan to put someone on you that sticks like glue? NR: Yeah well I wouldn't know about that. PF: Nick you have a very good nucleus of great young players Acres, Steven,Billings, Membrey was a revellation are you happy with this NR: Absolutely P.F Well Nick Congratulations again on your fine BOG Performance NR: Thanks Fence and if I can just say Jesse Hogan is a potential superstar and I also thought young Christian Petracca showed some encouraging signs for a first gamer as well! PF: Always a gentlemen Nick, good call and good luck for the rest of the season. NR: Thanks Fence THEN I WOKE UP AND THE NIGHTMARE WAS OVER!! Till we play him again!

I'm happy to offer free Audio Visual material to help heighten the senses!!

If this club is serious STOP PLAYING FRIGGEN HOME GAMES AT THIS DOG OF A GROUND!!!

Agree Head cases most of them, far too farkin easily satisfied!!

Agree Head cases most of them, far too farkin easily satisfied!!

Absoluteley agree I witnessed on may occasions players looking at each other gesticulating about who was on Reiwoldt???? So Roosy the onus is on you how could players not know who was meant tio be on him?? Farrrk me a champion like Rooey must have thought, Don't they know I can play a bit ??? Happppyyyyy Birthday! also What an absolute Friggen champion he is! Bitter about Loss by marvelled at his still Ominous prowess!! So Roosy who takes ownership of that one??

FWIW Chris Dawes is needed as CHF ! If Frost plays, he plays down back! Chris Dawes still the "go to CHF" for mine, smart footballer, knows where to run, can kick vital goals and knows how to deliver! If his Calf issuea sre over I would extend his current contract no problem at all!

At least Oliver for Harmes as I suggested at selection table earlier , But sheeit What do I know???

Or at least Oliver but according to you "Experts" out there not many agreed with me! Outside run minimal and beaten with quality clearances!!

T MAC ... F****** dumb footballer HARMES Ego denting game FROST N Q R PETRACCA Looked Painfully overawed. OLIVER POOR NON SELECTION

Well if we were to lose because we lack mids and clearances then You might have valid reasons for lamenting Oliver not playing! This might be exacaberated if we go in too top heavy! Agree with your last sentence!! I just would have thought forward line talls Hogan , Jack, Petracca plays tall and you have Pederson also in the mix. Oliver gives you another mid option and HFF IMV better at Etihad Vs Saints going in small! But what do I know according to you blokes?? SFA! YEAH WELL i WAS RIGHT ON THE FRIGGEN MONEY WASN'T I CHEEZUS IT WASN'T THAT HARD TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN!
