    Adem says hello
  2. No egg on my face lol Senior moment. So Jean's overheard Kennedy or something 🤔 Advice same ...
  3. Allen Jean's has advice for Goody.. Don't think..... do

    Goody's future hangs fairly and squarely upon... Goody. He's the actual play maker, the General , HWMBO . In effect there are 18 minions ( atva time ) charged with doing the bidding of one. If Goody is to survive , then we must prevail. He must better choose , configure and use the people at his disposal. A better design and build would help as the current House of Straw is nigh on laughable.. Imho.. a lot of things a misconstrued. Even the way forward incursions are noted. Just letting the ball over the arc rewards the stat sheet but it means squat. The only thing in winning football is putting the ball to advantage , and taking that advantage and scoring. Football is THAT simple really. No matter how you may like or try to dress it us the simple tenets of footy are get ball control ball, move ball and score. It's not about controlling space... you win nothing by accumulating acreage. You win nothing by fencing in others. I get the idea of pressure... of harassment, creating turnovers... but they are but means to possession and opportunity. Our current style exhibits no intelligence in successfully and repeatedly getting the ball, nor any concerted nor skilful use should we get it and certainly there's a void as large Gaia-Bh1 should we ever manage to currently coerce the ball towards our goal square. Quite frankly we need leadership and direction from people that better understand what you actually ought to be doing out there. Currently we're doing ALL the wrong things... and strangely quite well. We seem to be trying to finesse fade away 3 pointers whilst we can't manage a simple lay-up. Our football is all [censored] about. Again we have embraced Ballshido and excel. Up to you Simon.
  5. We struggle with 6
  6. Not sure how many nails you're hitting home but you are imho highlighting the very problem that's been noted for some time. We are clueless in the forward half. We are destroying the inherent football intelligencia that players have developed over years by foisting upon them what is nothing short of moronic 'planning' . To my mind there is no meaningful ,football coherent , effective forward 'game'. Anything skilful seems to have been mercilessly kicked to the kerb and substituted with schoolyard kick it up there somewhere!! We've invented a new ideology "non-leading teams"

    That wouldn't be sugar .... not if you're seeing that 😉
  8. So some have more , some have less I'm going with us having less. Certainly looks less and less compared to our better times I very much doubt all teams are the same.
  9. Given our current success I'm going to ask why ? Why such a bad selection. Who would you select ?

    Yes and yes... but the wheels would be put in motion. Something would come of it. Currently no one wants to be THAT person.. So it's full ahead stop.
  11. Has there ever been a better argument to therefore ignore most stats as every movement etc deserves a qualification. Football really isn't that complicated.... unless you're us .
  12. Agree You can't have your pudding if you don't eat your meat ....
  13. beelzebub posted a post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    It's total BS
  14. We used have a decent "Tilt" That was then and this is now I guess
  15. beelzebub posted a post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Interesting insight
  16. Given that requires lighting reflexes and good peripherals.... not a bad idea 👍

    Are you saying Milky is a Tall ?
  18. This ^^^^^^^^ Everyone else worked us out , evolved , and ran past us. We're still trying to order off the 23 menu ( which was only marginally different from 21's anyway )
  19. I attended a regional footy night , Feb 22 A number of the lads and Ooze. I didn't get much of a chance to talk with him though I did get to say " Adem, not sure what you said or did, but thankyou" He simply grinned.
  20. Not sure how long you've been watching our beloved lot Mr One Eye but I can assure you these are NOT the darkest of days. We could be heading back there if we aren't clever but I'm still hoping some sanity might prevail. Not thinking this year is going to be that flash but hopefully set us up for a better 26.

    Out JVR, Fritter In Johnson Fullarton. An argument could be had, by some, that the next block of 4 games are our least testing ( personally I think they're all uphill now ) so why not now push the boat(s) out. Anyone suggesting this will jeopardise our finals is ... well... 🙄 If we are stubbornly reserving spots on the sheet we'll never advance.

    Devils Advocacy.... He could just as easily be suggesting it doesn't matter who... just drop the Fritter. Can't say I overly disagree
  23. Not be surprised
  24. Personally I couldn't care less if they have a sherbet or six after a game and go out dancing together.. But, get off the field and out of the jumper first please .
  25. I dare say that was the way. Premium players have shown a great tenacity and scoring rate in the ability to drive their destiny and get to their preferred destination. Just an observation
