Welcome Back to the Bottom of the Ladder
So as I read it...the forward line is dysfunctional. The backline undermanned and either ill directed...or clueless. Then there's the midfield...just the one side of a coin there . And the fabric that binds it all together...a distinctly one dimension black and white instructional sheet. Yippee Ki yay fellow Demons... happy days are here again, the skies above are bleak again, let's drown ourselves in beer again, happy days...are.....here again. Normal services have resumed.

Welcome Back to the Bottom of the Ladder
I must be watching a different team. Our coaches have built a team which is all and only about about the inside contest. It's all gladiatorial stuff. We haven't an outside game. We don't really have the players for that "style's. So I'm not as convinced as your good self that this FD are particularly open-minded. In fact I'm inclined to think they're the absolute opposite and only budge from their road of thought begrudgingly.. Time will tell. We might have a bit if talent but I don't see a game plan that's going to win a GF...not now. We're one way flat track bullies in a way. We've lost the ability to cover our backsides...and we can't kick a sausage to save ourselves. Quite frankly we're an embarassing mess at the moment.....and cherry ripe for picking over by any team with aspirations and better coherency. I concede I often have a very different view from many here.I don't shy from it I'm so reminded of Icarus.

Why will it change...if our style doesn't. We will only be competitive against teams with poor defence. Any team with a good one will create the same headache we've started the year with. Our current plan A not only won't win finals now...it won't get us near them And remember...we have NO B !!

King: Don't Panic About the Dees
I fear it's not panic that stirs...just a possibility of increasing disinterest. This club burns people.

Welcome Back to the Bottom of the Ladder
Those who are entrusted to oversee ...need to investigate change. Not necessarily wholesale ...but certainly incremental. What we're doing together with whom we're doing it with ... well....it just ain't working.

666 doesn't help....but it's not in play all game. Other teams just aren't allowing us the largesse of swarming the ball forward. They take it andrun away.. .and there's not enough chase in us. They have it. Then pass it... Repeat repeat. We're left flailing around. Unless we change it's only going to get uglier.

What to do with Petracca?
A problem DV8 is much comment here isn't really invented . It's observational mixed with personal experience and expectations. Trac is own worst enemy. He's been in the system long enough surely to know what's expected. It's not an eternal waiting game.

This is it. You'll get what you will get...but whatever that is it'll help towards another project. This one's rapidly going stale

I have a sense our good fortune last year was built upon a brand/style/plan that worked for us whilst no-one has a particularly good counter. It worked til someone figured out how to dismantle us. That was West Coast. Now everyone essentially knows we play this pigheaded crash bang chaos footy and have no plans B If we're not careful we'll become a week in week out turkey - shoot.
