Whilst yes, tres maverick... it is a circuit breaker. Needed. Btw ..who is this wondrously reliable goal kicker you speak of ?

Please FD change it up.. do something... .. FD ... changes made. Populus... no not those changes Choir ... we wanted ABC... not XYZ Fremantle..... whatever

Over to you Tom. Carpe Diem

Well, they changed it up. Dropped underperformed players. To be applauded really. Inclusions ... hmm. What it says really is we're stuffed so what hell. As such that's OK as that'd tge reality of where we are. Going a bit left field to see if we can get some traction. .... even better. I'm happy to mix it up. Quietly impressed we've actually done SOMETHING. We bemoaned many things... almostvas though someone listened. I've now a little genuine curiosity about how we go on Sat now.

I wonder if it's occurred to our FD brains trust and esp to his coaching highness that opposition coaches are dissecting our game and neutering it quicker than or esteemed list can 'perfect' it ?

Last quarters V Giants 1.2 V Roos 1.2 V Suns 2.2 V Cats 0.3 V Ess 1.2 5 goals 😉

Don't think anyone seriously suggests he's the panacea to all our ills. Given how marvellously most of our list are aiding our wins then as others suggest why not reward effort, otherwise you've made a rod for your back and complacency is the order of the day. We're currently rewarding lacklustre tackling, fumbling and inability to kick to advantage ( to say nothing of the scoreboard ). Whilst we must 'preserve' these wonderful talents I certainly see a case could be had for just trying someone who actually wants to have a crack.

They being ??

Arguably yes. Reality ...won't happen

Fully understand the thinking here. I'm just not getting the vibe Nicholson is 'boys club'.. if anything strikes me as the type that would put a rocket up them. I like that

Equal last All those stats mean sfa

Ain't gunna help us, bats for the other side 😉 Good luck and safe travels. Rest assured we all feel the same pain. 🤔 think I'd rather be winging my way to Europe than having to see out the season here. 🍻🍸🥂🎾🏆

You can be as fit as all buggery... but if you're running the wrong way , in the wrong style.. matters nought.

Ahhh M & B ;)

I reckon there's a lot to this. Hard to will yourself 100% to that next contest.... when you know the game's already done. Between the ears stuff

Might I suggest the BEST case scenario is finishing "middle of the road" . Tbh I don't think that's at all probable or realistic. We can't win presently. Don't even look remotely close. By all accounts the next few games offer a better chance than the rest of the season. All of this just is. No joy in it. So back to your thoughts.... do we flip or hold ? Might depend entirely on any value. I would also genuinely ask if it was their wish to stay or go. We WILL be undertaking an entire rebuild. They might offer something in staying but success won't be their reward. We've seriously over hyped this list. Look around .... there are better. We're all but equal last staring down 1919 I'd be very surprised if both are here next year. Neither might be .

You're hired Can you start Monday ?

Tim, I don't think we've got the wherewithal to do much by the last qtr. We're already cooked by then. We've manage 5 goals (total) in 5 games in the final qtr beggars belief. 5 goals

Well, it's not the 3rd !!!!🙄

You actually touch upon the , for mine, most important tenet. Is that we don't seem to be really attempting to play an AFL level style of game. We won 21 with a British Bulldog 1 2,3 gung ho scrum like tenacity. Even then it would never work for 4 qtrs. We had a run of games where it prevailed. We don't really for all the rhetoric, pressers, mumbo jumbo holds hands sing-alongs have evolved too far from this. We still suffing around with DOS and others are using AI We've got 0 footy intelligence. It's scary tbh

Sadly this is pretty much how I'm approaching this game. Can we a) actually give a decent account of ourselves and play something kinda resembling footy. b) just stink it up !! Heretic to say, but I don't really care whether we can or might win. It's gone beyond that now. Can we not embarass ourselves out there.
