  1. Bad habits or technique. I think it is easy to fix the technique during training, but under duress we humans tend to go into self-preservation mode and the results is regressing to "old habits".
  2. I had only six to choose 😅
  3. Just six? That's bit of a brutal take mate. I think besides the obvious ones (Trac, Oliver, Gawn, Viney, May) some of our young guns are also important not only for the now but for the next generation (see JVR, McVee, Petty, Rivers).
  4. This definitely confirms Petty will be our FF next year. Who knows what'll happen in 2025.

    Volkano crying is always a positive
  6. Solid player but no pace or damaging enough, I don't think he'll stay.
  7. Goodwin will have no choice, if Petty becomes our permanent FF. Definitely need pace and elite kicks in the midfield/flank.
  8. On the topic of exit interviews, who do we think are tradeable players? Salem, JJ, any other?

    I've been trying to decide if McVee made a mistake trying to spoil the ball in the play that gave Carlton the win on Friday. Would things change if he instead just man's the mark and stops the transition? (Even if just a couple of seconds) Not trying to be too critical and understandably he is still young. He has been a total steal by the MFC. Good Job Judd!

    Yes, we need Goodwin to show more "guts" otherwise feels like a rehearsed speech and gives us no certainty of "learnings".
  11. This may yield us pick 4 from GC.
  12. What happened afterwards? Hope you gave them a good old spray!
  13. 100 bucks he'll target T Greene
  14. We won the death riding cup ! A flag in my books.
  15. Carlton is no chance up in the Gabba. They are there purely because of our lack of composure in the last quarter. I wouldn't be surprised if they are destroyed like we were in the 2018 PF.
  16. Is Jesse under a long contract with GWS? We coud have the return of the prodigal son 😅

    This is what dreams are made of... but hard to see how we could get either of Lynch or Naughton.

    Sasche already got a one year extension. Go figure...

    Before that turnover, Lever had an intercept mark just inside our D50. Instead of looking for a short kick to a player nearby (and consume more of the clock) he went long bomb down the line. Mind you, our players were not offering good looks in terms of separation so perhaps Lever didn't feel confident trying a 15 m kick.

    It's also not ideal to keep a player just because he is best mate with the two stars of the team. Unfortunately for Salem, we are actually loaded in the half back line. So it is not so outrageous to consider a trade for him, potentially. Most likely that won't happen anyway so it is a moot point.

    I believe McKay could have been an option last year. But I digress. The important thing now is what will we do next year?

    It boggles the mind that after our 2021 season we couldn't attract a decent KPF. Surely lot of players would like to join a premiership contender as the star KPF. This is the reason Tom Lynch joined Richmond.
  23. That's what I am trying to convey, coaches need desperately to work on the teams skills and decision making under pressure. It is still the responsibility of the coaching group to improve our list skills.

    I meant goal kicking, not so much the field kicking.
