Ah...the coach that got away

Remarkable that we ( that is to say , those here on Dland ) can appreciate your suggestion. And yet the brains trust of our illustrious club can't !! Play that kind of footy and I dare say you might win more than a game or two Excellent post Earl

Dees want an honesty session. How about the FD admitting their game plan is [censored] , unplayable and they're sorry. Never happen.

When ? 3-4 ?

Caducity

And...we have two captains

Have said it elsewhere...but am concerned that soft tissues might be an ongoing problem with him now. Hope not. Also even when May. Or Lever get back on the paddock. They'll not be cherry ripe or at 100% effectiveness. We've got some distasteful pain ahead...again MFC....the Groundhog Club !!

All you have to do is run 10 sec 100 m That's basic. All you have to do is guard space...that's basic. All you have to do is kick it to that sixpence inbetween those 3 opposition players at 60m...that's basic. Much of Goodwin's plan is basic. It's also unachievable on an ongoing reality plane. It's also unrealistic if the opposition , bless their little hearts , have other ideas about the game. We have novices in the box surely if this is their idea of progress. Our game is unplayable.

Choose a nice accompaniment ( and have lots !! )

There's a universe...but is it 'organised' ? Organised requires a construct and design. Unless you wish to invoke the God-clause ?? I don't think there's a master plan .

And yet we persist

Great idea ...really.. excellent

All well and good. But it's not all the players fault. No no no no NO !!

That was then..this is now. Much has changed. 2018 is somewhat irrelevant.

with all due respect...youre kidding yourself...far too many IF's there...and they ALL have to fall into place like ducks on a wall. far too many excuses being made for any number of things. Port and Essendon arent much chop really.....but they opened us up...Geelong wasnt warmed up ...thank god Good teams will kick our a..e from post to post. Dams only need cracks to come undone....we've more cracks than a Comedy night

pay wall

Which in turns has me questioning the viability and veracity of our so called plan. Footy ain't that hard ... really...is it.

i read that after the article Demonland had posted ( elsewhere ) ...9 things we've learnt etc Now you have to think if ol Benny boy can deduce that...you bet your bottom dollar 17 other coaches and FD's have as well. I fully expect Longmire to exploit our zone . He'll have a field day

yep...fully respect that..cheers

out of curiosity....when did he go north ?

It concerns me a little that whatever overtraining he immersed himself into to GET fit hasn't set him up for continuing soft tissue niggles. GC players in the main seem quite fit I'd say .

and we NEARLY had one too

That and they play a very different structure /style of defense. Other than that ?

Be nice to have this game over and done Thursday. After a day of suitable mourning we can have the whole weekend to ourselves.
