agreed

you gotta agree though that 4 out of 4 was outstanding

MFCFS get yer 'and off'of it

Beamer to put in another bender blinder.

Well apart from the flood, he always turned out a team that played with a lot of intensity and physical courage I'm sure our boys could do with a dose of that, eh?

or maybe he just went for a pizz when you looked?

puleeeeze!

"decent" or "dodgy"?

Would depend on who the insurance is with

Hannabal, did you really mean "concerned with the drinking culture at Melb" specifically, or was he just concerned at the drinking culture at any footy club when on an end-of-season trip? There is a difference and by all accounts he is a teetotaller which might take the edge off such a trip.

I say beamer should get sloshed the night after the game each week If he can play like that each week whats wrong with a little (on the right night) bingeing? And as long as he leaves the premise when asked ducking with tongue in cheek......

there should be a LOT more "leaders" in a football club than just a handful of players you might equally ask where have they been

2011 VFL Reserves North Ballarat 2.2 2.4 4.4 8.7 (55) Casey Scorpions 6.2 14.4 15.4 18.6 (114) GOALS: North Ballarat: Lenehan 2 Giampaolo Kelly Hughes Dobson Towers Curnow Casey Scorpions: Purves 4 Carew 4 Hill 2 Harrison Clay Pollard Costigan Lees Petropoulos Cleven Tynan BEST: North Ballarat: Darmody Brayshaw Giampaolo Kelly Jewell Hughes Casey Scorpions: Collins Weekes Baumgartner Purves Carew Lees

And don't forget Nicholson, BOG for Scorps, 20yo 183cm rookie from St.Pats/Uni Blues; Another small defender option? Or midfield prospect?

Whch MFC emergencies (Maric, Petterd, Strauss) are playing? seems Strauss is as his name was mentioned above

sorry my bad . . . . didn't read Jack was referring to GC, I assumed MFC....sloppy

I never said game plan was the only problem though backing up team mates, running in groups, swarming and presenting are part of a game plan surely

You're too soft and wishy washy rpfc There's not enough accountability and intensity in our game plan. It can't be fitness but inexperience and young bodies is certainly a factor. Too many leave it up to others too often without enough consequences. This is rebuild season 4, time to toughen up. Watching Collingwood tonight, nobody stops moving, the player in possesion always seems to have support and multiple options to go for. This is not rocket science just hard work. we may not have the hardness, skills and experience of them yet but we need to work harder, support each other better and present, present and present. I can accept the subsequent skill mistakes but not the lack of effort There I feel better for my rant

Some thoughts....... Don't see any sense in Morton being sub 2 weeks in a row. He needs match time If its wet they may decide Martin as sub Alternatively even though Dunn is nominally in starting 18 he could be sub (my choice) Another option is someone could drop out and emergency (Petterd,Maric, wont be Strauss) becomes sub

Well if we do have one it is far from adequate (or obvious) Any game plan must include variations (a plan B,C etc if you like) to counter differing game conditions. This seems to be something we lack. Even a basic game plan must cover such things as kick-outs at both the defensive and offensive ends (and other basic aspects) I'm afraid I can't defend our current game plan despite the state of our player development, as it lacks essential variety. Just my 2 cents worth P.S. I repeat, development and game plan are not mutually exclusive as many want to argue. Simply pumping games into players will only achieve so much

3 years ago collingwood certainly had a game plan even if it wasn't full press In fact I would say that if you send out players without a decent game plan then their development would be hindered Young players are quite capable of developing and understanding a game plan It need'nt be the final premiership game plan but players need the structure/discpline of a game plan

FCS man, increase the dose before you explode.....

Its just stupid to say that developing players and developing a game-plan are mutually incompatible Sheeesh
