Let's go with that.... ( better than my thinking )

Problem being Ds56 we don't play a game that 1) particularly leads or creates space ( very often) in the front arc. 2) if someone actually does its almost a certain they'll be burnt/ignored I'd actually be curious if there is any video of Roo on the lead 🤔

Only semi Devils advocate.. what exactly has JVR done to set the world on fire ? Seems to me he's sqeaking in on thin merit. Well Roo, over to you. Might not be the best day to try pack crashing marks 😉

Not everyone pays full time attention to Casey. Just sayin' That, and possibly not the context of his question.. I'm also surprised that Tmac isn't on the standby list. He's by far and away a better player than many currently trotting around. Seems to matter little. More selection curiosities 🤔🤷

That's the problem Rjay... it IS our game plan.

It's about appropriate approaches and application. You don't need to be bull at the gate 100% of the time. You need to try to wrest the game onto your terms. What we don't have is any sizable bag of skills. As much as I hate to use them as any yardstick our Monday nemesis have many more players with discernible skill. That's why they beat us. Our powers that be really do seem to place all eggs in one basket. That's our failure as a club.

Envious to the max. As a salute to your predication I too shall endeavour to imbibe to the point of incapacity of viewing.. cheers 🍷 Enjoy your travels . Don't swear the small stuff.... you know ...like our chances in hell etc 😉

Sadly probably this. No need to worry about the dunnies at Gosch's eh 😉

Howe just needs a good solid whack/bumbling He's a cowardly shark He only walks tallon other's shadows 😉

It's about have more tools in your belt than a hammer and a screw driver. No point having all your game about pressure.

He's on bloody record as saying the plan is to create the maximum amount of scoring opportunities. Shame he hasn't spent as much time think.or developing the abilities to do that last bit. But by all means invent an imagery that suits. A lot of us can see what is plain as day.

Link ( that works ) ? Cheers

Scoreboard suggests otherwise. We just blaze away. It's all about scoring shots.... not scoring ability for us... Milk, no cream. Cake, no icing.

I'm not saying that... I'm saying it's our ONLY tactic. With no commensurate skill to finish it off.

My point is... there has been tweaking and some rearranging but the pre-eminent method of play is really just pressure. Pressure is a component of good play but it shouldn't be the be all and end all, and that's my take away. We really have no that many sides to our game. I know he is capable of nuance as his early days with us ( but notably under Roos ) exhibited this. We seem stuck in a rut and just vary our cannoning along said rut up either side but never out. Many I suspect are waiting for this weekends result before putting any lines through the season bit I'm already there. We're just playing out 25....it's how we do it that will determine who and what for 26... and for mine that ought to 'who' in every aspect... FD and List. Go Dees Just go better ;)

Loosely translates as ?? Asking for a friend 😉 😀

There has , to this befuddled observer, been most likely one common theme about Goodwins tenure. The prevalence that pressure will see you through. A lot , if not all, of his tactical strategies are reliant on unswerving pressure. There's never been much attention to nuance, to top end skill... just keep at it and the ball somehow goes through the sticks. And there in lies the fault in his 🤔 thinking imho. It doesn't. Yet we still don't seem to give any weight to finishing off our efforts properly. It's very slap dash . We have a game that attempts to have/use the ball more often than our opponents but we're failing. I can.only surmise that we'll struggle continually if we don't change that fundamental of thinking. It seems Simon is either reluctant or inherently incapable of repositioning his approach. This is why , for the most part , I see a need for a change at the helm. We just seem to be going nowhere and doing it the hard way which if nothing else only confers extraordinary wear and tear on the list. Better teams play a much more clever game. We don't really want for effort, just results. That the very essence of the game ( for mine ) seems to sit at the bottom of necessities is the damning commentary. The game is about a better score. Simply that. You win by no other metric. Just the scoreboard. You score most effectively with goals. You score higher if your goal kicking is accurate and often. Kicking points ... just dumb footy. And he we are. Now ponder this for a moment if you would. We do this by design. This is how we play. This has to change. What avenues of change do we have ? How's the pondering going ??

It's not even an elephant in the room , our goalking is merd !! Why is this not better ? Can only logically be one determination. It doesn't rank of importance. Bizarre really.

Or Tulip.. saw them clean him up at Artic Park one day. An act that changed my perception of footy forever. Absolute [censored] act

Lethal, not called for nothing. He and his Neanderthal brethren , esp Dipper, would oft hunt for victims. Two absolute [censored] examples of almost- humans.

He had mates ...

Always bemused me that the club goes all clandestine at traing , all the secret squirrel stuff. I mean.... who tf would copy us !! 😆😆😆🥴

Biggest test ? It's our Grand Final ( the only one we're getting remotely close to this season ) Do or Die stuff. Let's see if anyone actually takes real pride wearing the jumper. Not expecting miracles ,just decent footy and some semblance of accuracy. Too much ?? Go Dees ( but....tttt... Filth by 50 )

Something I'd agree with him on ..... as I've suggested elsewhere. Two aspects. Technique and Mindfullness It's not rocket science.. Both require application and repetition..

Jnr Jnr Jnr have you not heard . We're in good hands ....... Purely coincidental that our fitness drops after someone leaves and another teams betters when same said person joins. Co- incidence actually means two things happening at the same instance etc. Nowhere does anything dictate they must be mutually independent. ( often a misconception) We haven't been the same have we ....
