Tracca often slow to get started.
Buckley will make him and all our midfield better players. Heard him saying a top tier midfielder might have five moves to get out of a pack. A battler just one and a very good player somewhere in the middle. I found that fascinating as in my youth we were only taught the old fashioned sidestep or change straight ahead into the pack. Its about teaching skills from people with the skillset.

POSTGAME: Rd 22 vs Western Bulldogs
It seems obvious to me more individual coaching is required. Find the repeat skill errors and work hard on those and less on areas they are competent in.

PREGAME: Rd 23 vs Hawthorn
I think Kolts going to be a good solid player but wouldnt reward him yet. Windsor out. We only need replace the sub.

Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
Viney is done as a top liner Salem - Kangas? McVee can go , can be replaced Sparrow- can go, can be replacec Take offers on Lever snd May Accept Oliver and Petracca are probably just B plus players from here.

Charlie Spargo Contract
Charlie has been a good servant of the club and the clubs been good to him. Time to trade or find a new approach to the team output.

PREGAME: Rd 22 vs Western Bulldogs
Some supporters like the one arguing with you fail to realise what made AFL- VFL footy so popular, it was a chance for people of all status to come together and have an opinion on this or that player, how the team was going, if the coach is any good, when players time is up. You didnt have to be an ex champion to have an opinion. Its tough on modern players with online criticism on sites like these but remember they are paid professionals.

GAMEDAY: Rd 21 vs West Coast
I want a win and i want to see Jai play well and add to our midfield going forward. What i dont want is for Goody to say the boys responded to last weeks loss, all the while not having done any work on that scenario happening again except on the whiteboard or replay.

The Brody Mihocek Thread
Brodie is considerably taller than Jake Ollie and marks above his head whereas Jake generally outmanouvers his opponent. Different types of players.
