  1. All AFL coaches (even juniors) have to complete a mental health component as part of their registration. This includes player welfare (harrassment) and privacy. Anyone working in any form of education, welfare and community work also knows it is impediment that a persons mental health condition is strictly confidential (unless covered by mandatory reporting obligations i.e indicating they will do self harm or a serious crime). His treatment of hunter with the very public, selection mindgames; is pushing the boundaries of grey regarding player welfare (mental health) and his inference that Hunter is suffering mental health, even if he is not, is plain out the wrong thing to do. That is a suspendable offence. It needs to be taken seriously, as it sets a very bad precedent (at all levels of coaching).
  2. Jackson is still rusty. Bedford as sub is a tactical error considering we went in on be back short.
  3. Bannon Mithen Paxman Colvin D Pearce
  4. Who played wing tonight? It seemed we tried a lot of different combinations and none worked. Brayshaw back to this role will make a difference. Combined with Salem back and we will be significantly stronger. Then there's May, who organises the back half. Were there any midfield tackles?
  5. The only real issue was our midfield getting smashed, but I saw a few instance where they didn't go hard at the ball We are better with Harmed in the middle than Viney. Picket has to relearn to move toward the ball rather than waiting.
  6. Harris Paxman L Pearce D Pearce Bannan West was probably better than Bannan, but Bannan more influential. * Worth noting the size and strength of our top players. Against the good sides some of our "girls" tend to get pushed around.
  7. Birch Goldrick Colvin McNamara Lampard We got smashed in the midfield, but the dimensions of the field didn't help as it suited their "focus on the player first" style of footy and their bigger bodies.
  8. I watched the game with the audio being about 5 seconds behind vision, so the votes may be slightly askew: Hanks Birch Harris D Pearce Colvin
  9. There's still 21 plus players; we should recognise recognise their effort as much as the men (actually more so as they give up more for less); but if having 2 less players reduce votes: let's make it 5.
  10. Tried to start a votes topic, but not sure if it worked. Can someone set it up please?
  11. Anyone know where I can get the Melbourne theme song as a ringtone; safely?
  12. What also needs to be remembered is only one forward out of six is the target of a forward entry, and key forwards get a higher percentage of these, otherwise defenders will be encouraged to zone off them. Then good teams also have goal kicking midfielders (great teams, rucks) - who bypass the forwards all together! So of course there are going to be games where he doesn't kick goals or looks quiet - that does not mean he is playing poorly or "hot and cold".
