You must not have played sport a couple of wins and the momentum rolls a couple of defeats and the pressure ramps up

Exactly right, it feeds on itself I have watched every particular skill instructed and practiced at training We have two of the best development coaches, recognised by their peers, in McCartney and Egan It is just not happening in games And for those with short memories the same coaches had the team flying last year You can see the frustration on the coaches at the end of the game, excellent training and skill sessions, meetings etc etc during the week and then......

I'm surprised, with your extensive knowledge of the game, that you haven't put your hand up When did you complete your Level 4 I go to training and I am yet to hear a coach tell a player to miss a simple handball, kick to the feet of a leading forward, try a switch to a player who is outnumbered etc etc Our present predicament lies with the players The effort is there just not the execution

I spoke to a couple of the sliders 'buck who?' ???

'he said from the comfort of his chair'

They are told to relax and practice their technique, that's half the issue in games, overthinking it Pro golfers get the putting yips, so the comparison is not the perfect one

My point is I have watched training since the start of presason, they practice goal kicking every session, most times they slot them, even from different distances and difficult angles, come game day though.... . and the explanation is?

Nah that's a bench that moves around Goschs, when it was close, players used it, but only Tommy Mc and Preuss???

Feeling his way as a full time footballer On Tom Sparrow, was wearing a 'bandage' that went from his groin to his calf, not sure what injury that is

The ball is out of frame he whacked it about 30 metres

Hore, Viney, Lever and Hannan didn't train Salem is fine Lewis trained strongly You can practice goal kicking at training till the cows come home, completely different in a game

The normal suspects have bagged him hard, please don't speak for everybody, he was brought to the club for lots of reasons, the positives have far outweighed the perceived negatives

You really have no idea do you, deciding whether to pull the trigger when there is another human being in front of you, enemy or not, bears no resemblance to deciding whether to tackle a player or not Footy is a game, which unfortunately these days is analysed 24/7, nobody dies if your team loses, we have a myriad of media, all chasing the next headline, which encourages tge next paragraph Some of the trolling displayed on here, not only against other posters, but also players like Omac and Weid disgusts me Anyone can be a hero hiding behind a keyboard Carlton sacked a coach, you would think with all the media that Bolton was a child killer, he wasn't, he is a guy that failed at his job and was moved on, happens every day in ' the real world', except of course in politics and unions

You mean like I metaphor a drink, and she continually laughed at my ideas about footy Is McArtney, Paul's brother, coz that's the way I pronounce it As an ex military person, footy has no resemblance to it whatsoever It sticks in my craw, everytime I see the drivel they produce to advertise the Anzac game An example of 2 great players who 'climbed the mountains' and 'fought in the trenches', but failed spectacularly as coaches, Voss and Hird

What have I told you about putting facts, it only confuses posters

There was nothing wrong with the weather Thought the consensus on here was all AFL listed players shouldn't need to be coached to kick, they should know how to KK has now gone the helmet, nice looking on as well Lever was fine, running unhindered, could be all smoke and mirrors, assume it will be no risk policy

On Demonland, absolutely no chance of that, the experts have spoken as per the norm, some of the posts, absolute twaddle

There are fights because another 'tough guy' can't or won't ignore the taunts, obviously nobody took the bait

That's right he slams players heads into the turf, trips them up, kicks their feet etc etc, If we got a group of 10 certain posters on here in a room, the footy IQ level may just reach double figures

All the tough guys behind their keyboards And the point of a melee? Goodwin does not want undisciplined acts on the field Oscar Mc moved Vardy away, Vardy has been pilloried in media and social media, much more impact

The club sees a 'serious ' injury to a young player as an opportunity rather than a serback They give them teaching/learning opportunities as well as building them physically, Baker this year physically bears no resemblance to last year, he also has a greater understanding of the game, chatted to him about it They are doing the same with Aaron Neitschke, already put on a couple of k of muscle whilst off legs, has Nev Jetta to keep him company at the moment, which can only be a good thing

I got absolutely nothing, so didn't push it Crossy pushes the rehab guys hard, at the end of the session, May got to do repeat 100's with Crossy and Bernie Vince (who is still in great nick) pacing him, and increasing speed each time, did about 7 or 8

Joel has the dreaded OP, train, see if pain returns, if not, ramp up training, etc etc spoke to him yesterday, he was ok JKH and Hannan expect a run in VFL next week
