Re: coaches votes -round 14

Annoys me that our coaches don't do what other coaches do. That is...favour your own players no matter the result. Win or lose, Sinclair played an outstanding game Sincs - 32 disposals at 78% DE. Plus 4 clearances Dorko - 30 disposals at 76% DE. Zero clearances Dorks had 9 score involvements and 1 ...

Re: Schoenmaker

One game does not make a career. But he looks like a footballer, unlike Webster who never did and isn't. Is he capable and willing to learn the art of defence? The next 4 years will tell. The Tasmanians will get AFL assistance to entice all their Tassie players to go home, once they are settingup t...

Re: Momentum killers

Butler taking good mark inside 50, Lions defence in disarray, Butler stands next to the marker and plays on into him with multiple options for a walk in goal begging. Saints then caught out. SIGH.

Re: Something changed

Any coach who needs to resort to giving his team a spray after the first quarter at this level, is clearly not getting his message through. So what you're saying is there are 18 coaches in the AFL not getting their message through. Even Longmire has given the top team the Swans a spray at several q...

Re: Who is our "enforcer?'

I can't see the relevance of this thread in the current game. The role of the enforcer is as relevant as ever. Of course, it has evolved along with the game, and as stated in a previous post, thank goodness for that. The outright thugs are gone, replaced by the Hayes, Gehrig and Hamill types. Ball ...

Re: If the shoe had been on the other foot

Lot of tall forward experts on here. I would suggest in future games (at the actual ground) some concentration be given by supporters on watching King, on and off the ball, on how hard he works, including how hard he has to grapple to get a bit of clearance. True, sometimes he makes the wrong move, ...

Re: Still effing pathetic

The problem with Ross Lyon is that he doesn't listen to his own rhetoric. He wants to micro manage and he wants control over areas that aren't his domain E.g. player development Took him a while to listen to what people were telling him about Phillipou Let's hope he listens to the advice from DC, L...

Windy to Reid should have happened 10 minutes into the second quarter. Did it take Ross getting crook and Enright taking over for it to happen??
