Team & Player Ratings to Rnd 12, 2025 vs H&A Season 2024 Even after dropping away on his prior few weeks ratings, Tracc just scrapes ahead of Bowey taking 3rd place after a few relatively quite games from the defender (vs earlier stellar form anyway). Lever and Sparrow on the nose so far this season. Tracc still struggling to find and maintain the form he showed to this point last season. Albeit his performances are still a notch above many, even at lessor levels (for him), whilst occasionally blitzing or matching 2024 levels in some matches (so far). I'd be getting T-Mac back in for Lever from this week. And consider trialing Sesto for Sparrow for at least a block of three matches post the bye. * Played less than two full matches < Subbed out at least once or more > Subbed in at least once or more Stats courtesy of footwire.com & wheeloratings.com

Fair points but 'reading the vibe' is fraught with danger. I've seen them super chatty, running on top of the turf and some looking like they'd run through a brick shizen house at some Gosch's runs only to then go out and get smacked a few days later by 50+. And then the opposite can occur. A number appearing dour, long faces, serious chats with trainers, coach etc. The vibe and happiness seemingly zapped out of many. Choco harping on about a particular aspect of their kicking etc etc. Then they come out and deliver a solid win. Personally i take zero notice of anything that's reported re "vibes" from a player or the various playing groups (forwards / followers / backs etc). So many diff personalities within the group also. You're gonna see some up and about no matter what. While others might just be the serious / dour type that just wants to get on with business. And then there's the in betweeners etc.

Not putting this solely on this player and it was SG's choice to go down this route. Nonetheless, has OUR new game style (attempted and still a WIP) gone past Lever!?? T-Mac fitting into it beautifully imho. Lever doesn't really have the skill set to execute what is seemingly required under the new method / style? I'm not suggesting T-Mac is a long-term answer either. But for now, he is def the preferred one of the two IF we assume (rightly or wrongly) they're both vying for pretty much the same position / role in the team.

Round 12, 2025 TIO Traeger Park - Demons vs Saints Not sure how you go from putting up your best statistical game in over 2 years last week, to absolute batshiiite bad the next! Yet here we are. Something in the water perhaps? Maybe too much bathing! Alot of horror negative results vs 2024 Ratings. Remembering that 2024 wasn't exactly our finest hour to start with so anything significantly negative here should (for the most part with maybe a few exceptions eg; rookies) be considered a major horribilis performance both from an individual and team perspective.

Give it a try by all means. But i'm not sure the membership team would know what to do with that call... or the resume....

Red Centre Rabble

R Lyon

Absolutely... why would you change his role, other than to cover for injuries, when he was on track to become such a solid player off the skinny wing.

Not referring to goal kicking as such Jaded. Merely pointing out that there is no longer any way to contact anyone of importance at the club and raise concerns about anything.

There's no way of telling anyone of importance at the club. It's a closed shop now with zero input from fans in terms of letting anyone of importance within the club know about any grievances or constructive criticism / suggestions / ideas etc. Probably the same at most clubs i assume.

Still a soft underbelly at this club. Whenever the expectations grow or are high in a 'should win' sense we far too often shiiite the bed. On the reverse, whenever we have zero expectations of winning, we often come out and play our best. Nothing has changed forward of centre either. Still one of the worst in terms of clearing out our forward line and converting basic set shots at even AFL average levels. Panic panic panic which all started with Kozzy's absolute shizen attempt with his first shot at goal and we went downhill from there. This is not a solid footy team. There's just too many gaps and weaknesses and alot of it is between the ears. That's on both players and coaches.

We are seriously a bunch of pretenders since 2021. Just making up the numbers

Nothing

Yep im not sure why we changed the winning formula. It was a regress backwards when we didn't need to

It all started with Kozzy's BS attempt and the 12 point turn around

Swap Petty for Disco Leave Disco , Koz and Melk on their own i50 as much as poss

You gotta give up something to get something. We have enough tall defenders to cover Disco. I'd send him forward and see what he can bring. We aint winning this without kicking straight from here

Free kick to Riv... held far too long after he disposed

Sharp not so sharp there

7.13 😅

HOORAY!

Petty is playing school yard footy in an I.Q. decision making sense. Just horrible

Petty my god

Kozzy forward to try and shake the tag pls
