Adam The God

I'm glad he got one look in and he wasn't embarrassed. Perhaps the FD felt he wasn't quite ready. I'd rather the FD set up our players to have the greatest success, rather than throw them to the wolves like old times.

I'm sorry you lost your cat. Are you sure it was Lewis that did it?

Yeah, nice. Spread the TPP across multiple years. Clever list management.

The hardness thing with Bison is in the air and going back with the flight of it. I presume that's what @Gator is talking about. While the hardness of Lindsay being described is in his tackling ability. I was surprised with the excellence of his tackling and his ability as a first year player off half a pre season to lockdown on mature bodies in tackles. That's how I saw them this year.

I'd rather we prioritise Jed Adams, who looks to me, to have decent 1v1 capabilities, a nice kick and a good ability to read the play.

True, but they're different players that bring different skills, so it doesn't worry me. Hi.

Bizarre from @Gator , but each to their own. Langford will be an A grader very quickly IMV. Sure, he picks and chooses when to go sometimes, like most players these days, as to the question marks around his marking, the last month or so we started to see his aerial work. No player at 18 or 19 should be the finished product.

Bowey, Langford or even Lindsay.

.

Yeah, I think you've nailed it. It's those dinky little kicks that aren't on that he turns over.

I noted that. I guess I was implying he was pushed. Or at tue very least both parties deemed it was time for change.

One of the key stats that I look at and rate is score involvements. And Clarry is often not particularly high on score involvements, particularly in the last two years. But he had 9 score involvements and 1 goal assist. It was an excellent game from him.

Kozzy butchers the footy by foot. He's brilliant around goal, but turns it over a lot further up the field.

Ben Crowe was billed as a mindfulness mentor, but I always viewed Shand and Crowe's involvement as tokenistic and PR related. No idea where Crowe went. It clearly didn't work. Fitness and psychology would be top of my list for next year, along with a good tactical coach.

I find the moving on of club psychologist Stephen Rendall very interesting. It's clear we need something new in the psychology space. A new coaching voice is a start, but there'll be some pretty major reprogramming needed of some senior players. I wonder if the view is we need a new psychological voice too. @Engorged Onion

Agreed. Never really in that.

Good list management, Tim Lamb. @Slartibartfast , you must be having a party. A Slarti party. 👍

My old man started in insurance. I tell him regularly it's a rort of an industry. Soon, the government will be the only player.

I suspect he could be best available as our midfield coach. But I guess I wouldn't really know.

He had a couple costly turnovers, but in 1v1s May was still very good. I didn't really understand the May bashing this week. That said, he shouldn't be a lock for 2026 and I said earlier in the year we'd be struggling this year if he was still in the best 22 by the end of '25. Lever, likewise.

I'd argue we were in the North game too. The deficit at 3/4 time was 18 points and we'd butchered multiple inside 50s chances (see Viney), but were creating plenty of slingshot chances in that third quarter. We just [censored] the bed in the last.

Really hoping for Bruce as the senior assistant. It helps he's Melbourne and understands the club, but has more importantly gone away to successful (Hawthorn ans Brisbane) and non successful clubs (Carlton), rather than stayed in the MFC pond.

Dannyz has a pretty long track record of inside Intel.

That's Selwyn's background. Injury management.

Well, we know who the better footballer is, but we also know who the better leader is.
