Gibberish

I think this has been happening for long enough to say that it is the coaching and it is our game plan. Bomb it in long has been our hallmark. It's the coach. It's his game plan and it hasn't changed.

I'm happy we're winning, but I'm still not convinced. Seems like we've just found a different way to waste inside 50s. They say that to be a good game plan it needs to hold up in finals. To me it just looks like Ross Lyons St Kilda and Fremantle teams where they won a majority or the game a majority of the time but never made enough scoreboard pressure to withstand the minority game when the pendulum swung the other way. The previous game plan never looked far away, it was the forward line and forward entries that let us down. Call me the pessimist but I don't see that much has changed.

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit" Will Durant. Our forward craft is amateurish and has been for some time. Habits and or coaching, take your pick, one and the same.

Jake played, did okay. I'm sure we'll see him in the senior side next week.

1.4 in the second quarter and 0.8 in the third for a grand total of 1.12 for a half. Maybe someone can convince Fev that we're the next basket case that need him for a game. I think he'd perform better than most in our forward line.

Geebus! They're even struggling to kick behinds.

This is hard to watch. Terrible entries in to the forward line and shots on goal are worse. I just don't understand our inability to kick to advantage. It beggars belief.

It has been, allegedly, reported by a former player that this is how the coaches would like the forwards to play. It has been an ongoing issue for so long that I am flabbergasted that the Senior Coach is still employed by this club. We have dominated inside 50s for a long time now, but now that the league has caught up with us it is becoming glaringly obvious that our game plan is not up to scratch. I don't expect our senior coach to be relieved of his position this season but it has been an ongoing issue that we have made little to no grounds on resolving.

A truly amazing game when you take in to consideration the previous games this season. In some respects it raises more questions that answers, but keep it coming and I'll forget all the questions. The young brigade played a significant part today, Tholstrup, Rivers, Lindsay, Bowey, Langford and Windsor positively affected the game. Kozzie was extraordinary. All under 24. The future looks good. McVee still to come back. How did we do without May & Lever? Viney, Gawn & TMac leading the way. Mild case of delirium. Go Dees.

That was certainly entertaining and fast (at times). I hope it wasn't Fritsch & JVR holding us back, but it's a hell of a turnaround. Changes have been overdue! Just on the off chance you're words are somehow prophetic, can you put in a good word about Trac showing better composure kicking in to the forward 50. He kicks the ball as if he's lost a few yards and is about to be run down in a split second!

I would say Fullarton has played his role so far. On form so far it would be a mistake to drop him quickly. Can someone get in Trac's ear, his inside 50s have been poor. Could have had many more opportunities with some decent kicks.

I haven't been through the previous pages, so apologies if it's been posted already. Win lose or draw, I may have to indulge in a few tasty beverages. Here's hoping for a win. Go Dees!
