    Lack of defensive intensity costing us already. Players are blowing hard - Sylvia standing with hands on knees huffing and puffing.
  2. whatwhat say what
    My usually fairly accurate source who said he was as good as signed two weeks ago is now saying its west coast all the way. I guess we shall see! If true, Scott Burns will definitely be available as an assistant back east.

    I'm actually thinking entirely out of the AFL coaching world. There's a massive difference btw teaching the NSW juniors and overseas imports how to kick, mark, and handball and working with experienced players and implementing tactics etc.

    No chance. GWS are strategically vital.
  5. whatwhat say what
    With the sheer talent on their list, GWS should be a powerhouse by 2016. Of course, I recall plenty of commentators saying the same about the MFC in 2011...

    I think we will know more about 845pm on Monday. The question will no doubt come again from Shehean. If he categorically rules himself out of coaching, out of coaching the MFC, or if he pulls put the whole at the moment line we might have a greater understanding of his intentions. Of course, we might not... The other thing to bear in mind is that 2014 might be his last opportunity to become a senior coach again - another two or three years out of the system may rule him out forever. Compare it to Eade and Choco, who have remained involved in coaching.

    morton's first season was arguably much more impressive than what we have seen of toumpas so far. i remain confident that jimmy will not end up where morton has some six years into his career. and i'm not even a massive wrap for the kid!

    quality journalism lives on at the age: Roos set to reject 'attractive' Demons coaching job Read more: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/roos-set-to-reject-attractive-demons-coaching-job-20130716-2q0sm.html#ixzz2ZASeszTF not only do they not have any direct quotes, they simply regurgitate what was said otc and fc last night, none of which could be remotely described as definitive.

    Don't go there old dee. Every time I are the Eagles play I cringe. What a disaster our drafting and development has been.
  10. whatwhat say what
    blame the manager not gws, I believe.
  11. whatwhat say what
    had one kick since coming on midway through the third. I can't get over how skinny he is. looks miles off the pace, as you'd expect in a derby - frenetic game.
  12. whatwhat say what
    Micky O is the one I've heard talk about as an assistant.
  13. whatwhat say what
    no, a strong coach wouldn't. a strong coach would work with him to get the best out of him. that's the sort of negative feedback that mark neeld goes in for. the leading teams worldview has a hell of a lot to answer for; if implemented correctly it can work well, but if it's done poorly...
  14. whatwhat say what
    It is not atrocious, that's a fallacy.
  15. whatwhat say what
    his ball use was excellent. but he missed an opportunity to take a mark in defence in the second quarter because he was scared of the hit - had an 'uncontested spoil' instead. once he backs himself to take those grabs he'll be good. we desperately need the likes of viney and [insert draft pick(s) here] to get the ball on his hands. he's a lovely kick.
  16. whatwhat say what
    he's also soft as day old butter left out in the adelaide summer sun.
  17. whatwhat say what
    we are still woefully soft. but the effort is there, as it has been since craig took over. gotta sign gawn up, for such big bloke he just is so capable, and he has the best underwear on the ground. lovely goal by byrnes.
  18. whatwhat say what
    We are trying to be far too clever for wet weather football.
  19. whatwhat say what
    Trenners' speed - or lack thereof - will be negated if the interchange cap comes in, especially if its at an extreme number like 80 - it's likely to be 100 I would wager. Players with elite endurance will benefit enormously.
  20. whatwhat say what
    Most important or best? Best is what I think you've proposed. Most important would be the players we want to lead the club forward and be genuine stars of the competition: Hogan Frawley Watts Gawn Viney If those 5 can be in the best dozen of their positions (ie key forward, key back, floating forward, ruck, inside mid) we will go a long way to being a competitive finals team once more.

    That's fine, but as I've indicated I beg to differ. Sylvia doesn't work anything like as hard as those two fellow free agent examples. They work both ways, something Sylvia does sometimes. They lower their eyes when disposing of the ball, something Sylvia does all too rarely. They're both also younger and have far more upside to their future careers. Jordan Lewis is what we should have got from Sylvia. Instead his career is on a par with Brennan, someone who is capable of the magical but all too infrequently. Just like Col. When Stokes misbehaved he worked hard to sort himself out off field. Col has been a recidivist.
  22. whatwhat say what
    Just like everyone else!
  23. whatwhat say what
    I've heard the rumour that the deal is done too. Source has been spot on previously, but admits that at this stage it's more speculation rather than 100% confirmed.
  24. whatwhat say what
    Nonplussed I must admit. Would rather take the $300-450k he thinks he's worth and give it to a player like Daisy Thomas or Matt Stokes, or use it to help re-sign Chip. Sylvia will stay at the Dees cos he'll earn more $$ here than anywhere else. He needs to go a long way before he's repaid the faith invested in him.
  25. whatwhat say what
    The difference between Roos and Blight is that the former won't be given half a season and then shafted by the CEO for his best mate to take over. Ask Blight what he thinks of Butterss and Thomas, and how he thinks his time at the Saints would've turned out if they hadn't been there.
