  1. Id have TMac for Petty with Petty as sub for Melksham. Im a little compromised with my desire to have players return only after coming through the 2's compromise for Kossie and Lever.
  2. maybe im just an old sentimental batard but i hope Trac and Clarry (premiership players for MFC) remain until they both retire (with 4 premiership each). Kozzie can join them for as long as he wants but do hope he leaves with the dignity we gave ANB They can form the transition leadership from Max and JAck and pass on to Langford, Lindsay, Colt and Duke who continue the premiership standard. Its up to the coach to get the right structures, patterns and match ups to use those stars and surround them with the Rivers, Fritchs Jeffo, Lingers ,Chin, Bowey, .etc who will all participate in finals in their time at the club. The defenders Maysie, Lever,Salem will hand on to Petty, Howes AMW, as we concentrate on a consistent structure to reduce opposition scores.

    yeah I agree as i noticed the repetition as well and the impact that the left menu has on compressing the screen BUT What a great site this is and what a great job you guys do. Im an old fogey as well and just had seamless uptake on the PC I use for Dland. I only use PC and try not to mess with alternative s and dont insert links etc so wont be testing. Thank you, thank you ,thank you.

    its about controlling the narrative. There should be a quick response to any issue raised in the media. or there can be a comment to initiate an issue. In either case you must control the story with clear consistent communication.
  5. Not opposed to soccer as part of variation of training but our ball skills were so poor on the weekend that i would hope there is agreater mphais on this. Also perhaps playing soccer with a football to improve the reading of the bounce which seemed to go against us so many times. TAckling was poor for us and excellent for North so hope theres some consideration of rugby concentrating on making and sticking tackles. Talking with a mate the structure and method we have of guarding space was more obvious at the ground. We leave too much space for opponents to run into and we are then trying to tackle when we are running at an opponent. only able to throw an arm out to tackle. They brush through that method, I reckon we need some real coaching changes to techniques and structures.

    Waiting eagerly for Caulfield progress. Talk of alternatives is obviously a waste of time.
  7. I was happy to select TMac in last week with Jeffo and AJ forward. I had Petty as emergency and reckon this is an ideal situation as he can cover either defender or forward
  8. perhaps see if shes interested in dancing and point out she could participate in the Jimma Jig

    I hope that they are used to give the newer bodies the relief that they will need. These players will be part of the full squad that can be used for appropriate match ups. I like the idea of playing the new blokes against GWS but am now concerned that the weather may impact.
  10. You blokes are still the greatest. Thanks for all your efforts.
  11. So many great goals. So many players i love/d to watch. So many disappointments not there fortunately, the easy shots missed, the captains goals missed. I hope this years team is shown this and inspired to put them through the middle.

    see my previous Ill wait for Picket Fence appraisal but Jeffo looks like the ideal replacement.

    I know you are Jeffos biggest fan and I agree that he needs the opportunity. Selected him in my side. My concern is that the few times I have seen him he seems to play a similar style to FRitsch and I perhaps think that is a going to be his role, to give Fritta a chop out. Perhaps Disco is also in the opportunistic forward style. Im not sure Jeffo can replace JVR who is a more crash through style. Perhaps AJ is the like for like cover for him.

    But maybe some validity or is it just time to be crazy

    Yeah but i think worth a punt to give em a taste of the big time. Johnson and Jefferson are both very different styles. if both fail Petty can be bought on to replace one of them. the other would be rotated off the bench. Sharp, Langford and Lindsay would play limited time through mid and HF rotations. All have shown a bit through practise games and have been training well. We can reward them and find out their capacity. Probably these guys will move in and out of the ones and maybe not all play together often. Kozzie of course will come in to the side so we might not get a chance to do such a good comparison.
