Re: Ross Lyon a huge get
I'm more interested in knowing what questions the club selection panel will be asking, such as what he thinks the reason was for losing 10 games in a row at Fremantle in 2016 and dropping from ladder position 1st to 16th in one year and then remaining well out of the top 8 in his last 4 years as a ...

Re: Ross Lyon a huge get
So the $64 million question is, has Ross Lyon learnt from these experiences??? His overall arrogant nature suggests he is incapable of changing his autocratic style, which I'm quite sure was a major factor when Fremantle decided to give him the boot, especially as in the last 4 years of his stint h...

Re: Non release of Review findings
I was having another look at the press conference and Andrew Basset says something interesting around the 12.00 minute mark. He says something like he was asking whether we're genuinely contending or stuck in the 6-10 range, and his answer was that what he found was "troubling". I think th...

Re: Non release of Review findings
One article says that Glenn Luff was involved in presenting review findings to the review committee- Bassat, Lethers, Jason Blake, and someone else who I forget. They said Glenn Luff was list manager at Norf for a short time, and left midway thru 2022. Prior to Norf, he worked at Champion Data for ...

Re: Non release of Review findings
Also, in light of Ratten being sacked, I think the review must have found something seriously wrong. It must have been something that was irreconcilable.

Re: Non release of Review findings
I get your frustration and I'd like to know the findings of the review too, but I think that the information is too sensitive to be released publicly.We are the most loyal supporters in the competition yet we get treated like dirt from the club (once they've taken our money).

Re: Non release of Review findings
Members deserve the entire report where names can be changed to protect privacy. A member of the media will no doubt get access to it so why shouldn't the most important stakeholders (us) be privy also? Too risky IMHO - other clubs will be straight onto it and pick it apart. Asif other clubs would ...

Re: Non release of Review findings
They are obliged to provide an annual financial report for stakeholders so I can't see how an urgent review into football operations wouldn't also fall into the same category. This isn't just about Ratten as Basset said there "were a bunch of other things" that isn't being done properly. ...

Re: Non release of Review findings
Also, do you think it's fair on Brett Ratten (who appears to be a great person BTW) to have his faults and mistakes made public for all the world to see?

Re: Non release of Review findings
Just my opinion but I think it would be very unlikely that details of the review will be made public as they would highlight weaknesses of individuals and processes that could be highly embarrassing to those concerned. They would also give ammunition to our competitors.
Cheers!

Re: Game Plan - Two Loose Men theory
The two loose players might not be in the forward line (as RL pointed out). Also, if they move into the F50 then they fill space and can also drag opposition players in with them.

Re: What has changed structure wise?
Effort and confidence are obviously major issues. On top of this & very simplistically the two major differences I see now are. Defense turn overs We had been creating turnovers at half back & Sinclair & Hill had been driving the ball forward. This gave Max more opportunity and allowed ...

Brett Ratten - High Praise from David Parkin
Hi All,
I listened to this interview with David Parkin recently:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPBDnHZMrR0&t=30s
At 17.12 he mentions our current coach and how highly he rates him.
I thought people here might be interested.
Cheers!

Re: Rating Ratten each week.
I watched the press conference and I think he identified the two areas that let us down: some poor skill errors when not under pressure, and being beaten in centre clearances 18 to 9. Not sure he could have done much about either of these. Also, while I think that we were generally outplayed on the ...

Re: Anybody have a Kayo subscription
I've had Kayo for the past two years. Never had a problem. The stream might be a small amount behind live but not enough to bother me. Also, it's very easy to stop the subscription and then restart it (which I've done at the end of the footy season).

Re: Ladder Predictor!
If ever we are going to win at Geelong, it will be this week without a crowd. Other than that, it's just a ground with green grass and four white poles at each end. However, GWS are certainties to win their next two so it's all academic. GWS play Richmond and Carlton - they will be favourites in bo...

Ladder Predictor!
Hi Folks, I'm not usually one for Ladder Predictors however in a moment of boredom I started playing around with the one on the AFL website. Provided we win our last two games (I know that's a big "if") and a couple of other results go our way, we can still finish as high as seventh! Even ...
