This weeks no change is either inspired coaching that produces an amazing game performance at the home of the Crows with a rousing win or we go in with JKH as a vfl talent and a couple of players with suspect health that produces another downer.
High stakes gamble is how I see it, however I believe there will be a couple of changes before the game starts on Saturday.
Then we are going to disagree AF I don't see us being anything better than 8/9th until we resolve our back line problems and again only my opinion we don't have the personnel that will make that happen. Of course if we had just kicked reasonably for goal we would have three more victories and the back line would not matter!!!
This started out as what do we have to trade to get a good KPB. I was just wondering what he would be worth. Now you make some good points. Have I watched the football in the last decade ? Sadly most bloody weeks and as Mr Roos said earlier we as so easy to score against. No matter what system you have you need good players to implement it. Clearly as the results show our back line player stocks are not good enough. Now using Hogan may not be the best option but how do we get one or two good back line players if we don't trade a player for them.
What if we continue with no finals appearances because our back line is crap. Come the end of 2019 he might want out back to WA etc. deal might be better now and we are not going to win a flag with the current back line.
In Saturdays debacle he was ranked 13th out of 22 players. 14 disposals, 2 tackles and one goal. Not exactly the stuff of a champion forward in fact hardly the stuff of a good one. I reckon the FD would think about it. However it won't happen we are not daring enough. Re Mahoney not so sure about that he gave up a lot for a half back.
I like quite a number of fruits however bananas are close to the top. Sad part is my intake is now restricted so I have to limit the number of Banana and peanut butter sangos I consume. There is little to recommend the aging process.
I am rapidly running out of decades MSF. In fact I have at best one left I have no time left for another regime change. It is by 2023 or never. Sadly it looks like another grand plan which falls short.
Rant away Mr. shadow. Over the last decade plus I have agreed with your method however this year my faith has taken a severe battering. It just looks like the previous five decades. At the start of this year I thought we could make eighth place based on a small improvement over 2017. However this year we have IMO moved backwards. So far we have not beaten any team in the top eight. This is back wards from the same position last year. I envy your optimism.
Two weeks ago the Crows beat the Cats who we could not beat with Clarry in the side.
How on earth will we beat the Crows on their home patch with or without Clarry?
