Hold that Beer !!!

Any danger of this game breaking wide open ?... I mean WIDE :(

A head start for Joe In-sip-id

Is Simon still there ? .. asking for a friend

Not thinking I'll need to WANT it.....

Is anyone still playing .....

Hope so.... may the Spotlights be intense

Or is it killing-coach stuff ??

Maybe not the list per se 🤔

In reality ...selling the game is NOT the real issue. Getting thumped is.. We play like yoyos Team is very over-rated imo... sorry to say. Nice the lads have a good mate in Simon Kum by ya ... Go Dees ( back to the airport....just go home..... youre obvious not interested)

Learnings.... what are they again ?

Think he lives on the second floor... You might have seen him before....

And then you look at the club and its forward coaching...... Just sayin' Something that often bemuses me is how is it that a good defender, and by any metric Petty is.... then finds it hard to not employ what they know about nullifying a forwsrd.... in becoming one !! It's the same bloody coin at the end of the day. I do see the argument hovering that will say...it's about the delivery. I will give that some currency. It invariably, imho, comes down to footy nouse. Good forwards just know how to be in space, lose their minders, use their bodies ( timing ) . I guess some ARE better reading the play in defence . This seems to be Petty. I agree...either he plays down back...or for another team. He's not our forward arc solution. Again... I'd be putting out smoke signals to our recruiters and scouts...... any big boys out there in the other leagues, kicking bags. He can be as rough around the edges as all get...but can he play, has he the rudiments ??? Imo...a kpf doesn't need a tank....just be one ;)

Might be just me but i think we've only ourselves to blame. For far too many years we've played a player-non specific style of attack. Was all about the system ( rubbish as it was ) thar relied on the style of play more than the idea of being player-centric. We therefore didnt look for the right types ar draft or look to throw $ at someone....as we had it 'covered' Well we don't. That KEY , and key being the operative word , Forward just isnt on our books atm. Not one one that actually works ( properly, reliably , effectively) Possibly BBB was to be one.... but our forward craft torched him. In his day Watts was one....but we ( and by we....they....the ones out there ) ignored him. Petty looked like one for 5 mins... but time's up it seems. Tmac ...kinda....but he's playing out his golden days . A good kpf often doesn't hit his straps til around 24/25.. Youll not find one at draft ready to go. Good ones get paid to stay.. good luck there. Ive always thought outside the box.... Id be scouring for a Ponsiadly type.

Everyday... EVERYDAY ?? Tbh honest atm Petty is all over the shop.. brilliant one game....did he even turn up....turned it up on other occasions. Personally, and cue the wolves/ jackals/ meerkats.... I think overall he's quite 'average'. Some will roll out excuses but you wander over that white line you've called yourself as good to go... and often he isn't. I get we're bereft of that real KPF.. Roo is good...but he's young....in 3 to 4 ...could be really something. He Roo does offer a chop out to Max... so hes not the real KPF... Goody seems compelled /stuck with Petty. Id give Jeffo a crack... i dont see him as any worse... and might surprise ( might not ) If Petty...its by reluctant default....and yeah....thats why you pick players eh Go Dees

A very good question....🤷🤷🤷 Time for another sabbatical perhaps 🤔🤔🤔

Id be rid of them both.... or send'em down casey. Bloody hell cant we get coaches who are competent

You dont actually need a coleman up front.... You need a system. You need cohesion, you need method and intelligence. We just arent clever forward of the big bounce. Our coaching in that dept is laughable. Funny we understand defence but cant for love nor money understand nor implement its opposite. . How fn dumb can we be.... seriously.

I really want to accept that as cause rationale... but for mine it fails a very basic test... Reality. By this im suggesting we a [censored] poor at starting games... We still dont have a purposeful functional forward setup. We rely far too heavily on defence. We seem incapable of change within games once found out and wanting. Given our reliance on defence ... we're now [censored]

Mate...mate...tell me you're not alluding to Loading ....

Computer says..... NO

Why ?? 🤔 Why didn't he ? We both know why ? 😉

Nail on head. 🤔🤔Coach's brief ( Simpson ) .. go out and beat YOUR man, the rest will follow. And it did

Which side of the white line ??? 😉 ( asking for a friend 🤔🤣 )
