Satyriconhome

Collingwood tried to get him last year but the Salary Cap debacle [censored] on that

Nev thinks there are not enough Indigenous coaches in the system and letting them just leave is a blight on the AFL

So the Nev way is show them it can work by doing rather than saying

Playing in the VFL allows him to 'lead' on the field as well, the Casey award did him no harm in this respect

They are assembling quite an off field group there, if they can get the on field group right

Is anyone doing welfare watch on Saty? 😯

Being serious, Nev was as honest as the day was long, resilient, reliable and loyal. It should be remembered that he was a bit lost until the end of ‘13 with no real position to call his own. When Roosy came in ‘14, he nailed that small lockdown defender position down to the point where he was holding blokes like Eddie Betts to one or two goals. 

Like Nate, it would have been perfect to see him play in a flag winning team but fairytales rarely happen not only in footy, but life. Nonetheless, Nev should be remembered as a great club man who will always be associated with our club and welcome back anytime.👏

Thank for your concern, I am fine, I have put my little bit on Insta under Demonpk

I got bored with the  experts who wouldn't  know footy if it came up and bit them on the [censored]

The negativity was and still is tiresome, especially the game day thread

I read the forum now and again when I want a laugh, especially @joeboy 3 word

I gave myself a break from here   reading some the 'supporter' posts on this topic, tells me I made the right decision

It was a 22 player awful performance, it is always the coaches fault, remind me how many coaches in last few years?

Who's responsible for getting the team to perform?

The coaches don't coach for arm tackles, kicking on someone's head, not chasing

It's always easy to blame the coaches, they are sent out with a game plan, up to now the players have failed to execute it

The only 2 who can hold head up at the moment are Langdon and Tomlinson

It is not an individual player's fault, it is a poor team performance

Just now, Pickett2Jackson said:

Yes it was.  I appreciate the acknowledgement.

Iv'e tried to explain before, as you see other posters doing, you need to.put reasoning behind an opinion, otherwise it's just waffle,so again why?

I personally think Harmes is fulfilling the role he has been given, because he is not getting the numbers or goals he has in the past posters assume he is out of form.

His inclusion in the backline, and as they both got used to it, makes the main beneficiary in Salem  who can attack more, knowing Harmes has his back

AFL stats say Tmac took zero contested marks against North and Collingwood the last 2 weeks 

Unless Max is absolutely cherry ripe and assuming we have no further injury issues during the week, I'd like to see no change

Well the vision I watched, obviously they regarded it as a clean mark, even though there were players around

Of course Goodwin says, you don't have to mark, just a contest and bring the smalls into play, which is exactly what he did against Collingwood

Hes playing in defence mostly.

Hes also having a garbage season.

Top answer, great analysis

DEFEND THEM WITH YOUR LIFE SATY!

Harmes has been ok but not the player he once was.

He is playing a completely different role

If push comes to shove, he can go into the midfield, doesn't need to due to healthy list

Can go forward if need be, doesn't need to

So he is playing the 7th defender, when he, Lockhart and Salem are on the field together, he frees up Salem to join the attack more, not noticed that, or you one of those just looking for something to criticise?

Also has the speed to  plug defensive gaps

Guess who was fastest player out there tonight

Also, AVB another slow player, according to experts on here, was in top 5 as well

Harmes has more lives than a cat. Having a terrible season.

What is his role? Any idea?

The defence is working, all the media pundits and Goodwin agree, now where is Harmes playing?

Gawn for tmac.

Preuss to play forward and relief ruck. Tmac has been better since his return, but has not taken a contested mark. 

Yes he did against North on the wing

@picket fence @WERRIDEE  so how was Spargo's game?

13 minutes ago, Diamond_Jim said:

bit of a puffpiece and still doesn't explain why he wasn't picked.

We all knew his faults and I doubt that a few training sessions fixed them.He needed matches.

The reality is that goodwin backed his inferior gameplan and lost.

Shades of repetition with his continual inclusion of AVB but that's for another thread.

If you knew his faults, why weren't you there coaching them.out of him

Weid wasn't picked because he wasn't in form and had to work on a couple of things, picked when ready and is showing consistency

The AVB thing is tiresome, what role do you think he is playing, coz obviously Goodwin believes he is doing it

Hannan, Jetta, Hibberd, Hunt etc have all been dropped

Fair comment and Mindset may have been the wrong word to be honest, i acknowledge that, its my perception of him that he is not an urgent, ultra competitive type, from the outside looking in, he may do so, but id argue that he is more on the laconic side.

I hope we stick with him for the next 4 weeks though, confidence is always one of the best tonics for form.

So how many games are you making that sweeping judgement on

Spargo was good wasn't he @WERRIDEE @picket fence

Spargo is easily the worst selection of the year. Tommy isn't much better but when on song he can at least play forward, Spargo can't play anywhere.

Are you going for some sort of record to see how many times you can rubbish Spargo in a single topic?

Spargo had a terrific 2018 where he played his role in the team to the satisfaction of the coaches

2019 was like others, injury ruined @Kent

Brendan McCartney told me Spargo was one player who always makes the right decision going inside 50, of course, that's only his opinion

It's not increasing his skillset. He played a lot of footy at half back to begin his career. He's played there before and he's much more damaging through the middle of the ground and forward of centre.

His fumbling and poor kicking hasn't helped his cause across half back recently though.

As for point 'c', that's Hibbo's job.

If you notice, he is marking up on small fwd, hence my comment about his skill set, he covers Lockhart in the absence of Nev

With Viney out, we may see him back in the midfield rotation, the coaches are fully aware of what he provides in there

Goodwin has shown no hesitation in dropping players, so we can assume Harmes is fulfilling his role, contrary to what some of the experts on here think

c. Is MFC mid size fwd spot

Just the history of the mfc riddled with disaster 

I know, just look at 2018, is it raining where you are?

The sign of a good team, is the ability to cover injuries to top players, let's see how we go before looking for a cliff top

Sparrow gets his opportunity for more minutes, we are not exactly throwing a skinny kid in there

I'd go with 3 rucks, Preuss or Tmac in the middle, Jackson front half, Tomlinson back half

Harmes is being played at half back because

a. It is increasing his skill set

b. He can go through the midfield if required

c. we have the mid sized fwd covered 

Adelaide were under pressure to perform

We learnt how to kill their momentum for 3 qtrs

Accelerated away when we were still full of running

Brayshaw slowly getting into form

Weid and Jackson another game played together
