Bombay Airconditioning

I’m not a fan of the Pies either but I wish we could bring pressure like they do and played a faster attacking brand of footy. They don’t seem to hang their hats on injuries like we do either.

Agree in part but it’s also part frustration. We have a congested fwd line and our delivery is poor.

The way we move the ball, our fwd line and the way we deliver the ball inside fwd 50. We have some class fwds but we make it so hard for them.

Surely we’re going to try and poach Hawthorns strength and conditioning coach?

For all those defending Goodwin and throwing up injuries, lack of fitness & those that still cite losing Brayshaw as a reason for our performances this year. What has any of that got to do with the way we deliver the ball inside fwd 50? Our two finals losses last year we had more shots on goal and dominated the inside 50’s but we continue to either kick deep into the pockets, bomb it in long or have the most congested fwd line. We are so predictable and everyone knows it. You can change the assistants as much as you want, end of the day it’s Goodwin’d call. Fritsch & Kosi are class, if they played for other clubs they would be dominating games every other week. If Goodwin is to stay we need to change parts of our game.

New stat for Melbourne games. The “hack it forward” kick.

Not sure what we’d get much and to who? Yes I’m open to it.

Who’s missing from our best side….Petracca and Windsor a first year player. Is Salem best 22 anymore?

What about priority 1 members who live interstate?

Love Oliver and I think he’ll stay which is massive, but he needs to work on his kicking.

We go large periods of games without being able to score, even when Trac was playing. Need to change the gameplan.

Fritsch is class.

And that kick sums up our game plan.

We’ve changed the way we move the footy right up until the kick inside fwd 50. Was getting better last couple of weeks, what’s happened.

This, a 24 year old premiership CHB. This is massive although it may not seem like it right now.

Darcy dropped it cold.

That was too easy.

To be a chance we must - Bring relentless pressure from opening bounce. Move the ball quickly and efficiently not just throw it on the boot and bomb away. Continue our recent trend of better delivery inside fwd 50. I read this morning since we got thumped by Freo several weeks back we’ve been the hardest team to score against. Winning this is very possible.

Petty turns 25 next year, May turns 33. For many he’s a must keep, the club is normally pro active in the re signing of players. Considering the push from Adelaide surely we’ve offered him a revised contract which overrides his current one which runs out next season.

Theres not enough talent for 18 AFL men’s teams currently and its been going for how long. The AFLW expanded too quickly and in the process diluted the quality of the product. AFLW was always going to work but they’ve gone about it the wrong way.

Doesn’t matter what the AFL do to our game we the fans will continue to lap it up. The current state of umpiring is and has been for some time extremely inconsistent. The tribunal / match review is a talking point every week. Constant rule changes and the pending expansion to a 19th team for many stretches an already thin talent pool and here we are discussing a wildcard weekend.

Sucked in Port.

I liked the fact we look to move the ball quicker and at times through the corridor. The fwd line seemed less congested and we delivered it a hell of a lot better than we normally do. TMac should be offered a one year contract for next year.

Quick ball movement and low penetrating kicks to a leading fwd.

Fritsch is a gun.
