Singing from the same hymn book has been the way since '22, and now people can see that I hope for whoever is the coach. We get someone who can teach forward craft; that will be one of the biggest challenges along with the midfield overhaul.

Crows absolutely out-coached tonight and failed to make changes to slow the momentum.

Now I'm in the camp that if some club offered a good deal for Oliver, they should look at it. Still, the last 2 games he played were like late 21 games a bit more composure with the ball and better running patterns so maybe with a new coach and role he could reinvent himself into an important player again, as for Trac gee there is a lot of work to do with his kicking to advantage maybe more forward than midfield now it is all going to be interesting how things pan out.

I I I I Ifirst-yearfirst-yearfirst-yearfirst-yearfirst-year And what would Viney know about it as a first-year player? There were rumors all over the place about players canceling 2k runs because it was too hot under Bailey, players running the show. We were a circus. Like I said, he might not have succeeded, but it didn't make it any easier for him; the club was in a mess.

Neeld was given a poison pill at the time. The players ran the club; it wasn't until Jackson and Pert came in that it changed, not saying he would have succeeded, but it was made hard for him.

That's all you've got? Just the usual BS from you, but then again, you really don't know much about football.

In the end, it doesn't matter what we think who's going to be coach or who we would like to coach all we will do is say yes that was a great signing or they stuffed it up and sent us backwards

Replace jones full stop would be betterer off.

Why do I get the feeling you sent that message yourself......

Well try supporting the raiders then come and talk.

What it showed is how bad our ball skills are and how we are unable to think through things in the third quarter we played a more man on man especially in the forward line and in the last we stopped playing man on man and we got exposed players watching the ball not their man getting loose and didn't chase to cover space, but in saying that they did better than I expected Trac looked like he wanted to win the game off his own boot and the harder he tried the worse he got, Rivers the good the bad and the ugly all rolled into one would love to get a decent midfield coach to teach him bring on next year and I hope it's skills, skills and more skills over and over again preseason.

Makes a difference when you man up in the forward line and stop the free pies players doing what they want.

People blaming umpires are clearly not watching the game and the diabolical football skills and lack of ability to think through a situation.

Salem goes to slow past it.

Trac stays Viney takes his place.

And they don't have the skill to play another way.

I just hope the new coach brings in someone who can educate those two, plus the younger ones as well.

Because that was what the game style then was, and things have changed. Goodwin had his chance to change in 22 onwards and didn't, and now we see his end product. Whoever comes in, I hope they make the changes to suit the modern game and bring in people who will develop the younger players.

If that happens it's an embarrassment he's so slow a 🐢 would beat him over 100 metres and his throwaway handpasses and dinky kicks that causes turnovers time to move on.

Nah just release Salem full stop he's past it.

We have been so inflexible that it makes it easier for the opposition as we're so predictable. I don't think we are in the position to get any value out of Petracca or Oliver (no that I want to see them leave) but we needed more experimentation for what has largely been a lost season. With a new coach things might be better for those two but the main concern is Oliver can he change roles improve his skills maybe but it's going to need a big pre season as for Vinpre-seasonfor your service bupre-season same with Salem and a few others it's going to be interesting what path the new coach takes.

The forward 50 disconnect has been symptomatic for 4 seasons at least. And Chaplin was the forward coach this year, this is the fault of the gameplan a one paced lack of skill midfield that started in 22 you cannot have Viney Oliver and Trac in the midfield at the same time unless hey believe Oliver can change roles he is going to struggle, drop Viney and Salem, Sparrow, leave Kossie in the forward line the same with Trac just introduce some run next week it doesn't matter about the result and before someone says but Kossie has the run he is more dangerous as a forward than a midfielder.

Well, I'm assuming they have ping pong tables to play on?

The midfield has been a hugh problem all year one paced lack of skills so what to we do same same again.
