Blue-and-red

Any chance someone at the club could explain to Max that he ALWAYS kicks to the left when shooting for goal ? No point playing him forward till he understands this basic principle. Don’t worry about trying to kick straight - aim to the right of desired flight path and all else will take care of itself! Does my head in, everyone knows what is going to happen when he lines up except for Max - doing the same thing over and over and expecting the result to be different , we all know what that is.

This will be controversial but what the hell….for me Trac has been ineffective for some time (poor disposal, hasn’t been able to improve goal kicking, always fumbles, can’t tackle, poor decision making and no leadership) and it is time to get the best we can for him on the trade table which is more than we will get for any others mentioned as tradeable at this stage - I.e. he delivers little, costs a lot but has the most collateral. Do it respectfully and discreetly, not an open auction, but in conversation with him as he has made it known he is willing to move.

Yep, we are

Apparently you shouldn’t get beaten by what you already know - but we do, repeatedly, our own deficiencies as a team and as individual players. Only one person/role can be responsible for not addressing these consistent problems. Time to go Goody, thanks for everything.

This team seriously does my head in…..

Has Petra a had an effective touch yet?

Can’t share the enthusiasm here, ‘wins’ like this paper up cracks - we are a bloody ordinary footy team and more often than not have been for a few years - we should be better than what we are, but we need to see that we are not, it’s not about the opposition, it’s about us and how we play and make decisions on the ground. Our coaching has been sub-standard for awhile against the best and we never want to deal with the hard truth. Anyone looking objectively at our performances knows we are nowhere near another premiership - who amongst the current coaches will challenge the club with this view and cause change? Who will speak up against the mantra that we ‘are learning’, we still ‘don’t know what our best forward set up is’ etc etc - it’s always glass half full stuff from our coaches, particularly Goody - we are always ‘trying to get better’ … but unsurprisingly, never do… my main point is we haven’t learnt, or developed any further than where we were mid way through last year, if anything we are worse. This to me comes back to our coaching which I believe is sub-standard and complacent. Our ‘window’ is closing, I’ve been following he demons for 50 years and time goes quickly and I just feel we are missing a golden opportunity with some ‘lazy’ management

Gee max needs a rest

What does it take to have a ruck on the goal line - it never happens and it’s bloody frustrating

How is it we have two tall ruckmen on the ground yet whenever we have a clearing kick off the half back line we are consistently out marked on the half forward line - where is Grundy??

Gee we are an ordinary team a lot of the time

Thank god for their poor goal kicking

Some goal kicking practice required…..

Kozi kicks some great goals - just wish someone would tell him to stop giving away silly free kicks (pushing players in the back when about to kick) and flying for impossible marks when better staying grounded

Gee we have a lot of players playing selfish footy - very few looking to set someone up in a better position, our forwards key culprits
