Yes but how do they manage to avoid it there? It sounds like they don't actually change their ways...

At the agency he just left.

They are not performing. I think JVR would benefit with some Casey time for confidence, but because it's a VFL bye round I think that Fritta should be dropped to make a statement. Bring Fullarton in for Fritta, keep JVR for now.

Why is it that players with a past get to Geelong and then escape scrutiny?

Tracc did not show any tenacity last trading period, and I think it made him look less appealing to other clubs.

Does he? Surely the club has the power, since he signed a lengthy contract with us. Otherwise, he would already be gone. Add to this that he has an inexperienced player agent when it comes to contracts. Yes I know she could get registration by October but my understanding her experience is more with corporate contracts and brand building, rather than negotiating with clubs.

I'm starting to think this was the plan. To recruit 2 guns and then ask Trac to stay one more year to mentor them and to arrange a suitable trade to get back in the draft. I still can't see how it's Collingwood though. We won't want future 1st round picks.

The soccer training happens for literally half an hour at these sessions. They do other training you don't see where there are no soccer balls. How many times does GW have to say it? It's not the soccer that's costing them games. It's the entire coaching and training plan.

I just find the whole strategy completely fake and just embarrassing. If it is AI that's even worse.

Yes.

It's pretty ridiculous to have a bye round now.

I do find the social media and comms coming out of the club quite lacklustre.

There is a bye this week in VFL. So no-one is going to get any practice.

I really don't think they are doing badly because they kick a soccer ball after their PT sessions. It might have more to do with their other training that you don't get to see.

He was apparently a test last week and he didn't train at all. I still have an immense amount of respect for Simon Goodwin, due to the premiership and 2018 in particular, but his answers in press conferences are really frustrating. This isn't the first time he hasn't told the truth about someone's injuries.

Omg. I am getting sick of reading everyone complain about the soccer practice.

The age article this refers too was implying that fitness is not the issue, more that the contest central game that both Melbourne and Carlton play is a slog that leaves you exhausted at the end of a game. In addition, it doesn't match with the fast, handball central game that is being played by other teams.

Yes, but he's not playing ruck, which was the OG post reference.

Hasn't Draper been playing as a forward lately? I don't think he's in that great a form.

If you're not afraid of losing your spot, you won't be compelled to play better.

Fullarton kicked 5 this week and 3 last week at Casey. Give the man a go. Drop fritta or JVR for him. Both could use a game at Casey to gain some confidence. I don't have confidence that Lever will be ready based on Simon Goodwin's body language and answer during the presser. Could Jed Adams be a shot? Was he an emergency this week?

I think a much better effort from a lot of players but still quite a few need to spend some time at Casey. I'd put Fritch there to gain some confidence and bring Fullarton in. Petty should go to Casey too.

If Rick is good to play next week May should go out.

This is a good out.

No thankyou. Also, it was the 90's.
