Zxradio commentators haven't mentioned umpires but saying Melbourne just the better side, but not saying much

I think protect the head was aboned with the Lynch decision wasn't it?

Ding. Thanks for your score advices. Really appreciated.That must have been some last quarter, it even slowed Dland criticism down. Maybe it makes a lot of difference when the umpires change sides.

I live down the bottom and riding up is a bugger. Got an e bike now

My steam driven technology, erratic NBN cover, intellectual laziness and general disaffection with paying for private coverfor what is free for most dissuades me from watching and I can't be tossed going upstairs to listen ABC so appreciate any and all comments here. i have found it good in the past as the emotions of Dlanders are displayed as visibly as if at the match. Do look forwa d to meeting a few of the posters in real time at the G, Redlegs gatherings GO DEES, DDoes my enthusiasm come through as genuine enough. Im even forgoing Mad as Hell for this version of entertainment.

Thanks Ding

This will be my only coverage of the game here in downtown Murmungee. Hoping that the retrospective coverage from Demonland will shield me from or prepare me for the worst and the best. GO DEES

Totally agree. We finally have some depth for rotation and some Lloyd want to get rid of that. Let the bombers take Goodwin back so we can get a coach who can use the squad we have successfully.

It's only conjecture coz I'm not in the club rooms but something is going on. We have some players that have shown they have skills and some have less skill but great endeavour. But both these attributes are so nconsistent that our game fluctuates so widely. It is difficult to believe these players can play so badly unless they have been instructed to. i have stated often that poor and inconsistent umpiring desicions cause frustration and lack of confidence. The coach needs to address these basics with some novel action. If there are personnel conflicts the coach needs to know and address them. The coach needs to instil a total club focus and the significance of winning. Mate suggested telling all players to take their jumpers off at half time and telling them that only players who wanted to play for that jumper should pick em up and go back out. I thought we should just go out and cause so many free kicks that the umpires lose heart and can't possibly pay them all.We are continually scragged, tripped, jumped on with no kick given, let's just do it ourselves and bugger the consequences. We must do something. It's up to the coach.

No the players are responsible They are definitely not off the hook AND if they doing what the coach says that is definite

This as the one its the coach!

It's the coach

I worked in Collingwood one time and sat in the Berbers chair where I heard Len Thompson in an opposite chair say that the worst thing about losing was that you got spat on by supporters no matter where you were, While I do not countenance that level of behaviour WE NEED TO GET MORE BRUTUAL TO OUR PLAYERS(REPRESENTATIVES) because if they continue this stuff for too long there will be deaths.

S some good points. we have a good squad i hate to say it BU It's tn coach

Its the coach

It's tgreat he caches job to know. if if missed it he needs to go

Titan I agree with so much you say. AND Unfortunately I can only lay it at the foot of the coach it is his job to get the disparities and variable characteristics available to win if he can't do this get out of the wavy. This is atgiably the best squad in my lifetime, they show they can play with at some times but also deliver this crap at this time THE COACH IS RESPONSIBLE. There I've Shias it FIX IT SIMON PLEASE

Agree wholeheartedly. Have been promoting through various threads and have noted the cumulative effects. Have probably driven people mad by indicating this is a squad matter not just a team. We have replacement and reserves for most positions and we should be rotating the squad to mach a variety of structures and a variety of systems. we can select squads to mach and exploit opposition variety. Its now n the coach to get the total team including psychological and fitness members to perform and win.

I thought Weid was, like the rest of the side great. I would like to see photographic evidence of him from training over the last 18 months. Just looking on the TV Sunday i thought he has really developed some muscle structure in his arms. Like Jackson and others these are still young developing bodies, their muscle profiles allows them the flexibility and speed that they display. As they get stronger with muscle development their other physical attributes will alter. I reckon Weid is comin alone well.

Hard to make changes after a win but we have a strange season. We may need to manage a few players. Loved Jackson and Bennell but they may need to be rested. Both could come of the bench as impact players resting Max and Kossi. id put TMac forward and include him in the rotation with a Jackson and Max. Every player should be aware of the need to pressure opponents, I even saw Ollie chase and harass a couple of times instead of just jogging through the centre after doing his extraction job. I be inclined to rotate Bradshaw Ollie, Viney etc through the bench again using them as impact players. The back line seemed pretty settled and maybe Rivers if anyone needed to be rested. Langdon seems a beauty, ran all day pressured up forward and provided an outlet from defence. Fritta works best as 3rd forward with Weid, TMac or Jackson. its a great problem for Goodwin to have. Hope he can keep the confidence high. Just reminding players how much better they feel after a win than a loss should be an advantage.

The best part was he made time to look up for where the support was coming . He then delivered to that best option. Great handball in front of player moving with pace.

DBrisbane are a young side playing on confidence Jackson Rivers Kossie all get a gig. T Mac can run like a young one ad leave the Weid plenty of space. Fritta should match up well. Maybe leave out Bradshaw and replace with Jones to give a bit of heavy duty experience around the younger lion cubs. Langdon, Harmes Hannah showed plenty of pace. The team gelled today and must have some new confidence so not sure who goes but would be stressing this is a squad for the full intensive season and so it is likely that the team will change for match up, structure etc, involve the players in the process so they decide and fill themselves with no one disappointed and awareness of their role to contribute at 100 %. intensity for the match they are selected. Be prepared to miss the next if necessary for club success.

Well yes it may have been a bit of overoptimism. BUT I have suggested Trac could be The Burgoyne, Jarman solid bulldozer brilliance Kossie could be the Rioli, Betts type, May Lever are a solid defence unit for talks, the structure we had today seemed pretty well balanced. While we don't have a Johnathan Brown, T Mac can play the bullocking Centre Half forward and who knows what Brown might do. Jackson today showed some glimpses of real talent and could become a Royce Hart, James Hird. and Bennell .........well. Long and what's is name from Adelaide ???? And MAX what he can do is still expanding and his leadership is improving. Every premiership team has a number of solid performers and even some underperformers. We have plenty of both. Enough to fill the team and also some handy backup to replace injured etc. Would you rest Max in the lead up by playing Pruess . With Jones as a sentimental favourite you could play into form for the final tilt. Is the coach up to it? So far the answer appears no, but I still expect great things from this team
