Jaded No More

Channel 7 is reporting we are embarking on an external review

Finals are still all about contest and winning the pressure game.

So winning 4 B&Fs, including in a premiership year and two coaches awards and 3 AAs by 26, is meaningless?

Inside mids always have worse disposal efficiency stats because they’re almost always disposing the football under immense pressure and with little time to spare. My eyes, and Clarry’s accolades tell me that he’s an elite footballer and one of the best ever inside mids. Not sure how anyone is arguing against that because he’s had a down season, where he was still above average for disposals and clearances.

Oliver is the only player since Gary Ablett Jnr to win back to back coaches awards, but of course 18 AFL coaches know a lot less than pundits on the internet so please carry on. By the way, disposal efficiency Daicos 67% Clarry 66% 🙄

I said it before and I’ll say it again. Brisbane are the Port of QLD. Mentally fragile and not up to it in finals. Watch Carlton come close or even pinch this.

Tell me you don’t understand the role of an inside mid without telling me you don’t understand the role of an inside mid

Minus Clarry but plus Gus. Gus stepping in was the main reason we didn’t miss a beat with Clarry out.

Who is getting the ball to Jazza if Clarry is gone?

Jeremy Cameron moving the farm to Casey is he? 😂

Grundy has always had questionable hardness. It’s why he’s never been as good as Gawn. Ever. He’s a nice player but he isn’t strong enough and he doesn’t make up for it with his overhead marking. Gawn is about the only ruckman in the AFL who is genuinely influential around the ground, Xerri is quite good too (I’m talking first ruck not your pinch hit ruckmen). Jackson has it in him, but hasn’t quite hit the mark yet. Grundy is a lovely guy and a good player, but anyone who said he would help the Swans win a flag is kidding themselves. The Swans midfield is sensational. If they win the flag it’ll be them who make it happen, not Grundy.

Exactly right. If our players can make peace so should the fans. The worst possible outcome is a fractured club. United we are much stronger.

Well, at least he’s making an effort to be part of the club. Can’t begrudge him that.

There is no media speculation to shut down at this stage. The info came from a poster with good inside knowledge and was about other clubs approaching us for Clarry. Do you want the club to speak out every time another list manager rings them?

I would throw in pick 5 too, such is my admiration for the Bont. But unlike the brand, he’s as loyal as they come. He won’t leave.

Is it better or worse than the Stringer thread?

Oh god from one pack of booers to another. Bring your earplugs Ken.

Haha jinx

Ken is too nice. I think that’s the problem with Richo too. We need a hard liner in the role to balance out Goodwin IMO.

Adam Simpson would be a far better option.

No. A head coach is first and foremost a people manager. Tactics and line coaching is often managed by a whole host of coaches, including opposition analysts.

Maybe the review of the board will find that they’ve failed in properly managing the administration and will therefore nominate someone external to review that side of the club?

No thanks. We already have an amazing player person in Goodwin We need master tacticians and Ken is well, not

Doesn’t mean there isn’t a review of the FD or operations happening as well.

Do you know if the review will be just of the board, or of the operational and FD side of things too?
