^^^^ well put Jaded^^^^ There is obviously a path being taken by Bailey..I suppose we can only really guesstimate as to what it is, but most likely its about sortig out a bit of talent and 'teachability" from available stocks and then adding to it as occasions arise. Am very intrigued in light of above comments and just observation of his ( DB) comments to date as to who will take the field come round 7

again.. just so you quite understand.. stats without qualifciation are useless... Maybe Coaches ought to be less concerned about them and more about basics. You know the old adage.. Lies ..damn Lies...and Statistics !! So what do you statistics tell us about our play.. about our woeful decision making.. and poor distance perception..or even the ability to stand on ones feet ?? Quite simply..the very best teams dont play like us....or are you saying were only 10% ( or what god knows what ) shy of being a Geelong ?? Ya better get on the blower to Dean and lett him know to stop by Safeway on the way home and pick up another 10%...all's fixed then !!

who or what excatly is Sutcliffe Hutton ??..cant find much about them what are their Bone Fides ?

mate.and I mean no disrepect but you can shove all the stats in the world..they are f'n meaningles unless yo apply a quality or context to them !! A Handpass to mid air..is stil la fn'n handpass. .a kick to the grounf 5 mtrs in fornt of the player..is still a kick. ... but they are useless. Im not using guesswork..just using my bloody eyes.. which tells more more than all uselss bloody stats in the world!! We dont exhibit the basic skills most of the time..; that s not a stat...THATS A FACT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also..before playing on from a mark.. you must wait at least 5 secs..then handpass it to a friend...thats nice !! ..doesnt matter which team...just as long as its a friend !! <_<

dang ...forgot that one. .very important that too. !!..They've got that one down pretty pat Id say !!

We lack even the basest of skills at many times....thats just 10% is it ?? I think not !!

and you were thinking you didnt get it !!!! Now Im sure thats not the plan per se...but its probably like a dog barking at you to go play in the park...and all you hear is WOOF WOOF WOOF !! seems to be a similar level of understanding doesnt there !!! :D

Someone answer me this.. Im curious.. Whenever we are going for a sert shot for a pocket..or there abouts.. Our setup is one or two near or in square. one or two out from it in and around the top .. .BUT....there is NEVER anyone lurking in the opposite deep pocket ..just in case of overshoot or knock on. This has mystified me for a long time..am I alone in noticing this ?

No..i didntnt go last week.. so am primarily comparing to the others I did.. Todays game was never even.. They the bluecr@ppers ahad far more purpose and setup going forward.. we had >>>NONE !!..hell we could nt even avoind falling over ouselves in the back line.. comedy at its best really !!

as much as I like the optimism we are a lot further than 10% away form being a team. Litel things like fundamental skills are needed first.. little things like properly weighted kicks.. handballs that are !! ( not to some other point of the univers) ..and we wont start on decision making...thats the advanced class !! lol

just checking....you did go to the G today ? better !!! that was unmitigated cr@p for all bar about 20 mins today the highlight of the year has been to lose to the reigning premiers by 30.. yeehaaa..do wacka doo !! lets all celbrate !!

I was fascinated by the new tactic of kicking primarily to a 3/4 to 1 contest in the forward line..yep..thats a winner that one for sure

our ability to go forwad into the 50 is all but non existant. . no structure.. no confidence.. just woeful

Batram - a bit mor settled Bell - was he there Bruce - better game....cant kick for sh!t Carroll - Definitely No einstein Davey - seems about 80% Dunn - a bit over the place Frawley - spose he stays Green - a rare glimmer amongst the darkness Jamar - enjoy the zebs Jones - just needs poise McDonald - In Neetas absense let him lead McLean - he did try hard Moloney - hmmm..earth to beamer...hello !! Morton - one of few who can think.. says a lot huh Neitz - not one to remember Rivers - Must feel alone at times Robertson - some good leads.. good marking.. has no vision beyond his ego Sylvia - needs to omprove 2nd eforts Wheatley - kick it long son...ffs Whelan - played some well.. did some clangers White - more like grey Wonaeamirri - More games will help.. needs to back himself more..

Whelan and Jamar make a good comedy team...shame they were supposed to be playig football!!

Ah well..lol.. it got very exciting there for about 5 mins !! :D

A trademark ( or so it seems to me ) of Gardners term so far is that when positions change and people come and go its done with minimum acrimony. I would imagine he would handle his own changeover similarly.

Thank god it wasnt YM spruiking this !!! lol...we may have a chance !!

Very happy for Jimma to jump on board . I feel he might actually prefer a directors role where he can do the good he can unencumbered by the presidency.

you might hate Banks...but they have this funny habit of making money and remaining solvent ( well most ) What someone like Argus doesnt know about running a buisness simply isnt worth knowing. The mind simply boggles as to what he could bring to our little club I might have to go lay down..head getting giddy !! lol

hmm...wonder if the Big Australian has a few bucks spare in petty cash for a little sponsorship !! :)

Totally in agreement.. There's many different apples out there ..even if they are all apples !! Have said for years the key is to exist despite membership..it will only ever be the icing on any cake for us..where as for some clubs its the cake. Somehow more sponsorhip needs to be solicited. If PMac can swing this he will be a genius

In all fairness sometimes you have to persevere with some until they "Click". The mistake is to think in terms of seasons and not games !!

cant imagine why.. they've only had 1 win whilst we're on a roll. of four straight.........
