POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast
I’m hoping Kalani sees one team who have many big key position men (GC) and the thought of fighting his way into the Suns team as a daunting prospect. The Dee’s provide more opportunities to play at AFL level. Team success can turn around quickly when you are that young.

POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast
Ok, this is my last word on this as it could go on and on and on. The inaccuracies you were rebutting are not actual inaccuracies. My point is we move the ball fast but it is not effective. The nonsense you called out, is not nonsense in my view. Your stats on the last 3 quarters do not tell the full picture. The way you use stats is your platform with what you like to do. School others….

POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast
In isolated they can be. AFL is complex being a 360 degree game with so many factors to take into account. The ultimate stat is games won, and we have been poor at this for almost 2 years. Our ball movement maybe fast, but it’s mostly ineffective in overall output.

POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast
Now there is a damming judgement of character/opinon Binman. Fact is we were outscored in the second and third quarters combined. We fought back galantly in the second but when challenged Gold Coast outplayed us once again. Qualitative (experience) data has a role to play in examining the game as well. Just saying 🙄

Who is our next captain?
Hopefully JT doesn’t bring in chopped liver

POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast
There were many junk time last quarter scores when the game was lost that make these stats look inflated. As for the ease and effectiveness of ball movement, the Suns had this in spades over us. The amount of times the Suns had players free and who provided easy targets was concerning. The Suns play with better method and have better skills. My 👀’s don’t lie 😜.

I’d be more than happy for the club to throw the 💩 and boycott next week

PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide
Windsor needs to play and on a wing. Disappointed Sestan is injured, he would have been worth a go at this stage. I would t be disappointed if Adam’s was given a go and replaced Howes. His form has been inconsistent but give him a look at AFL level and it wouldnt hurt the club. Lever’s body is shot, is too slow and his disposal is below average. He needs a rest to get himself right for next year. JVR is an obvious one.

Inclusions will be TMac, JVR, Lever and Laurie. I’m not anticipating any surprises or anything different.

It’s over - if you’re CEO, what’s the fix?
The inside word I received prior to the season was Kozzie was leaving to WA and Goody will go at seasons end if we don’t make finals. Take it as you will as Kozzie is a demon for life (overjoyed by this). But at the time I do believe Kozzie was looking elsewhere and informed the club late last year. If Goody stays it will be more about his payout than wanting to keep him as coach. His win loss record over the last 50 games is not good. Last year’s review recognised that the club had a favourable draw and finals was a minimal pass mark. I will be forever thankful for Goody and the premiership he gave us all, but it seems he has lost his way and the club should bring in someone new at a reduced pay to stay within the cap in the first year and increase it in later years. (Back loading the contract). Alan Richardson was seen as a weak Football Manager from the review and he needs to be replaced at minimum at years end. Who knows how the new CEO and President will views things. Their job is to build a strong performing club which includes the football department.

Further to my previous post, the club should be keeping an eye on Corey Enright. A Bartel and Enright combo could be a winner.

Bring in new people with a vision. Start with Bartel as General Manager of football. A new coach from a successful football club and program who brings with them people who can implement a game plan. Possibly replace Lamb to bring in players who compliment the new vision and new coaches philosophy. Our list runs thin and new recruits (from the draft) are asked to do too much in their first year. Look at the fitness program. The injury list is impressive, but players cramping in the 3rd quarter today is a worry. So is watching Langford and Lindsay struggling form a long season.

My 3 word player analysis V GC
Harsh in Lindsay. No growth on a young man who had a limited pre-season is not fair. He was not seen today, but his growth has been impressive. Salem - runs on a treadmill.

I’m just happy we moved the ball forward quicker than GC. The stats don’t lie ppls’s

GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast
On a positive note; we have the talent at the top end. Lack the talent on the middle, and some young guys who could turn out to be good/very good We are a team deft of system and confidence. We need a change our coach, method and system

It looked aggressive when the rest of the team were extremely passive.
