POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 19
Well...the wife had an early start this morning...an early night last night.. resulting in the telly going off half way through the third. What a pivotal moment . I really hadn't liked our chances going in to this but what a brilliant surprise awaited when checking scores before. Still worries me ..so much fumbling. Reading some posts it looks like it might not have gone our way had they been a bit more accurate ...but we got the choccies...and in peasoupsville no less. I hope that poster's old man had a big smile as he walked home past all those crow's nests to those that made a late decision to go...well lucky you Well am off to watch what I missed. Go Dees

Changes v Gold Coast Suns
We need to manage a few if we're to have a decent crack at September. Rest Hogan....or he's cooked. A no brainer really. Personally I'd like to see Pedo in for Smith. Can at least understands the game. Now is not about games into NOOBS...it's about assembling a finals team. Let's not cut off nose as they say. I still think JKH is not up to it.. Some might suggest no change but I think it's imperative to give some a rest and tweak what is an imperfect line up. If we're to do this...well... let's get serious mum

GAMEDAY - Round 19
And yet it was inspired to take Tom and put him up the front ?? Im not suggesting permanently putting hogan in defence..I AM suggesting taking him away from the forward 50 and putting him down the half back line for a spell or two to break up the defensive tag on him. it's not really that hard to comprehend. To do nothing just allows the opposition to command the game and thats exactly whats happening against better stronger more organised defensive teams. Hogan is not a midfielder...but could be an interesting addition to a rebounding hbl....for spells. The only time Hogan goes to town is against shlt teams ...or teams well down on form. Hogan like the the whole team gets stymied when playing oppositions who actually know what they are doing.

GAMEDAY - Round 19
Ther'es a bit to commend here.. .If not for the whole game definitely at times. @Binman and I were waxing in another thread and the idea of moving Hogan to the half back was brooched. He often gets double teamed..hes effectively useless in the game as a result. Our forward line also becomes too busy ..what with all their defenders and our 'odd at times' structure. I agree move Jesse down back.. If nothing else a defender ( in most probability ) will have to go with him.. The team sheet of the opposition suddenly looks a big problem. By all means REST Ollie in the square.. Again this upsets opposition rotations...does the player assigned Clarry go with him? Im not a great fan of all of these rotations. I know the argument is to rest/manage players...but I cant help but feel many coaches are buying needlessly into the new coaching , afl led groupthink. In this game you need an edge. Maybe that edge is rotating less and resting playing in a position thay can also play...I know...it's maverick....its sooooo...ooooh i dont know...last century !! Less is more...so they say...but we love to crown a contest. Problem is we often crowd ourself out of possession especially in the fwd 50. How to avoid..wel...if you do actually double team the opponents best fwd...even swapping who the target is if another fires up..then it seems most likely youll have a bit more space somewhere. I totally agree 1554....time to start coaching like a fox.....we had one of those once....did rather well I recall
