The only table that matters really at the end of the day is flags won since 2000, you can be really good H &A like Bombers 01, Port 01-03, us 22/23, Sydney 14, 24,Freo 15, Saints 09/10, Pies 11 , 19 for no return or be a team winning not many H & A but actually building but the table is Hawks 4 Lions 4 Cats 4 Tigers 3 Swans 2 Eagles 2 Pies 2 Dee’s 1 Port 1 Dogs 1 Bombers 1

Did you acknowledge Dwayne Russell when you quoted him

Don’t agree with Jordan, he’s struggling this season Agree with Oliver from last season and whilst hindsight is wonderful could you imagine if we let Clarrie go after 21/22 and hadn’t extended his contract Demonland would have exploded Yze responsible for 21 yet had no roll in the straight sets exits of 22 and 23, that is a myth

There are posters on here who are capable of keeping an open mind and the there are a few who are incapable of seeing balance either way. It is those few who put ridiculous arguments forward such as this not to mention selective revision

Dave calling SEN Goodwin has to go he’s done nothing in 4 years He won us a flag but that was in bloody Perth. I think we know who Dave is

There’s a bit in that, in terms of Trac being a very useful forward and moving forward as a group the midfield needs changing, Lindsay, Langford and Windsor would be worth giving cameo roles through the middle but a tank needs to be built for them to go through there. Kossie is a massive point of difference through the middle and even giving Bowie a run through there would be worth looking at. Whatever the magnets Viney, Oliver and Trac can never be put in there unless it’s pouring rain and we need to just get it in deep

I’d like to see new line coaches, Goody has the players and I’ve said many times you can see the changes but we would have periods where old habits such as bombing into F50 would happen. Some fresh voices and Choco needs to go IMO

Email just sent by Greeny

No they didn’t, Gawn I understand 30sec left, needed to switch the footy to the fat side, Clarrie’s kick absolutely not, over 2 minutes to go and he just bombed it without even looking, not certain who it was (possibly Fritsch) but we had a player free about 35/40m out central a Quick Look inside sees that and Clarrie had time, I get it’s tense and that brings pressure. He was awesome for the game but that moment was poor, we can’t just say he had no other option then to just get it on the boot

Congratulations Daisy, Pioneer of AFLW and a fantastic ambassador for the game in general. Will forever be a club legend

What a great player he was from the time he debuted, could play either end to a very high standard. As you say the back had a massive impact on his onfield legacy but at his peak he was a match winner. Congratulations Garry

A boy from the Kimberley I coached in development is at Xavier and close with Marley, told me he’s a freakish talent

Simply not true, it happened last season vs Freo at Optus and cost them the game and that’s just off the top of my head So many with self pity. The umpires didn’t make Fritta play on, Clarrie dump kick or our players rush their opportunities around goal when a bit more composure was required

Get over it Brown said nothing wrong, you play to the whistle it’s what you teach players from a young age. Control what you can control and he didn’t It’s an emotional game I get it and it’s especially emotional for you as far as Collingwood is concerned.

For agenda setting morons (not directed at you) it is, you just know after a game like today who is going to be commenting on this thread. Goodwin, the entire footy department and for the most part the playing group got their planning and execution right today and plaudits for that. The resident clowns and one in particular have made their mind up, the nail is in the coffin because Fritsch played on 15m out Oliver panicked when a side step and 45 hits a fwd 35-40m out free Trac handballs fwd to a Collingwood outnumber Kossie doesn’t learn from getting away with dropping the ball on the ground after giving away a free kick last week Yet all the above players were part of applying the pressure for 4 quarters to get us in the position against the team who I suspect will be there on preliminary final day as a minimum The same clown who questioned the FD for selecting Howes and not Jeffo. A person with an ounce of integrity and an open mind would acknowledge they get that wrong given the role Howes played in negating Hill. But every week the same rhetoric

No he shouldn’t, you continue the chase until your opponent is out of the play or the umpire blows the whistle it’s one of the many moments which the FD will show the players in the review. And the review will have no moments of umpires decisions nor should it. In a 1 point game we cost ourselves that game with a lack of composure in pressure moments. FD got so many match ups right, boys played their hearts out but will rue moments where they didn’t control what they can control and it cost them

Jimmy is from Rathfarnham, played for Ballyboden St Endas

You mean like this below, one thing you can count on every week at selection

WA side for tomorrow’s clash with VIC Country is up, JVRs younger brother Benji leading the ruck as an underage

Nothing is that simple You have to get the ball into F50 first I’m not sure a lot on here understand the impact of the Players Association, Strength and Conditioning with regards to load management etc and trying to fit in a number of areas of game craft across your line/position, strength and conditioning game review and opposition planning meetings and recovery sessions I also think a lot take an off the cuff comment by a player in an interview as gospel, not to mention second hand responses Posters on here will have you believe Gawny and others have a view of thinking I’ll just kick this and if it goes through great, if not ah well. In essence the world and especially the professional sporting environment is not black and white and a big variable is confidence/mindset

Please don’t ever say Gawn is unprofessional, he’s a poor kick for goal but god he does a hell of a lot well. The best ruckman of his generation and one who clearly gets his preparation and recovery spot on

It wasn’t working on the weekend but what about the previous weeks, we had players in unison with ball movement, I’m very careful of not throwing out the baby with the bathwater. I’m more looking towards the long term then KB Lever’s weaknesses are he’s not good 1v1 nor at ground level or moving laterally. I think he goes back to Casey, I’d look more to May, Tmac and Turner back and JVR/Petty forward as two talls, Melksham if fit to prevent Howe intercepting, Fritsch the higher up the ground conduit and Viney, Sparrow and a rotating mid in Kossie or Trac as the other forwards Tall rotation of Gawn, Petty, JVR & Melksham Small rotation Fritsch, Sparrow, Viney, Trac and Kossie with the last two spending the majority of the game in the middle B. Tmac May Mcvee HB.Salem Turner Bowey C.Langdon Rivers Langford HF. Sparrow JVR Fritsch F. Melksham Petty Chandler R. Gawn, Trac, Kossie I/C. Lindsay, Windsor, Oliver, Viney Sub. Sharp

Interesting watch as I predicted once we had another loss, several posters who’d been hiatus would be back straight away and there you have it. And what do they provide any insight into tactical moves, cutting off the source to the the run, or cause of turnover, loaded F50, lack of pressure being an obvious missing trait from the previous weeks Absolutely not- they are geniuses who would move magnets from D50 to F50 Comedy gold Here’s the thing Rebuild/Rejig whatever you want to call it happening on the run Game plan changes have been there to see, glimpses into, quarters into 3 quarters into some consistency. Younger players becoming more important to our ball movement, they will have poor games get closer attention and learn to adapt, it happens. AJ is a necessary stop gap, I suspect he won’t be part of the side when we start to step forward for a decent tilt, I suspect JVR still has time and not giving up on Jeffo just yet. Disco is a back man and going to be a very good one, aside from occasional swings forward that’s where he stays Clarrie showed the other day he still has a long way to go as does Kossie, because the Windhager tag is going to come more frequently. The change to the midfield is happening It’s still a bumpy road ahead but at least we’re committed to change

Exactly if the pressure is off it makes it difficult and as I said previously there will be bumps in the road, with us playing this way and opposition teams structuring up to prevent the run from half back and limit the impact of our stoppage game. We’ll learn to alter our method a bit, But we were our own worst enemy yesterday. Kossie wasn’t switched on yesterday from the get go, Windhager took his mind off the game. Goody did move Kozzie forward but Saints kept numbers behind the footy and with our really poor ground ball effort they started their transition chains As the game went on we lapsed at times and our drop in pressure allowed the Saints to move the ball. The big issue with yesterday which will happen is players like Oliver reverting back to bad habits such as the dump kick which allowed the intercepts from Wilkie and Caminiti. With the numbers back we needed to lower our eyes and/or switch the ball to create some hit up opportunities but if you’re off with your skill execution you run the risk of being burnt on turnover from the oppos launchpad. Quite simply poor mindset, effort and intensity down and that’s before the poor conversion rate which meant we also failed to apply scoreboard and perceived pressure
