The club can not let Lenny retire with 16 consecutive losses. They must win at least one of the remaining six. Forget about getting games into blokes just for the hell of it. Throw everything at every game before Lenny retires. Agree, but should'nt we be throwing everything at every game every week...

Stick a fork in him, he's done !

You may find that Ar may have given specific standards for certain individuals to focus on and found that the stats for those things were not where they should be.Due to the lack of experience he may have just gone back to basics and challenged them with simple tasks in order to see at what stage th...

It would be wise to see where Spencer is at so they could make a decision do we go strong forward or do we go strong mid. If Spence can show something we may have a good dual pronged forward set up for years to come ala Swans ( if we take McCartin). Petracca would be great to bolster the mids. I thi...

I get the impression that everyone on the list will be challenged in some shape or form by the end of the year that the coach should be able to work out how players react or don't to his instruction, their resilience and the will to make a difference to the team. You would think that Joey could be f...

First quarter starts are killing us.Being so undermanned and having to make up ground with an inexperienced list is a handicap.Without the scoreboard thought they competed well for about 2 1/2 quaters. Intensity was much better.

The example set by Armo should be the key point at the team review.WILL,PERSISTANCE AND COMPETITIVE.Great game Armo.

Billings,Dunstan,Templeton and Acres aside i can't see any standout match winning type player within our 2 to 5 year bracket. I don't think its unreasonable that some of those guys should be showing something by now.I do understand that they have copped the worst of it but probably B graders at best...

I detect a bit of the old mongrel get angry mentality.Not such a bad thing and definitely missing in recent times.Not much aggression shown towards the man with the pill.

Based on what Richo's and the club's expectations are you would have to think so.Players with longer deals are probably just safe but anyone else who's deemed to be not up to scratch could pretty much forget about playing AFL in the short term.

We should create a new stat, counter turn over.I'd be interested to see in general play what are the stats for turn overs and how many times we got the ball back from a pressure act.

When you have such high standards you tend to expect everyone to follow suit but nonetheless we keep hearing that our senior players are role models for the younger blokes it does not look good for the club.I think Rooey wears his heart on his sleeve and unfortunately emotion plays a big part of his...

We wish it was that easy.I think over the years we have made some poor decisions and also been on the end of some poor advice. Personally when i see what Hawthorn has out at Waverly you kind of wish we had stayed there but for whatever reason we ended up with Seaford.

I know we are pretty ordinary at the moment and difficult to put a gauge on performance but even when we do show something i have difficulty working out what if any is our game plan because nothing seems different. This has been previously raised some months ago about what is our game plan or style.

Good point raised Grumpy.We have to question the mental strength of the current group.Is this something that can be worked on or is it just in the make up of the individual? I suppose its hard to determine.As they say "football is really played between the ears".You begin to wonder what th...

The point thats being lost amongst all these threads is that we all know we are a bottom side and yet we continue to want anyone and everyone sacked. I know we are entitled to our views but a decent thread tends to unravel into abusive nonsensical comment. Time to chillax and understand this is not ...

You'd have to say that the players have not really bought into what it is they keep saying they have bought into. I have stated on some of my other posts effort,commitment, passion, the will to push yourself to the limits are self controlled.You could also question the ability of the coach to be a m...

I think TDL and most of our list ( Maister,Dunnell,Milera,Lee and others) prove that they are not quite there but in a good side they could play a role without being the standout. Like Jack Dyer use to say " A Good Ordinary Footballer ", problem with us we have too many of these with no cl...

I don't think anyone would have thought otherwise, its just become concerning that with all the inexperience we currently have in the side we probably have a higher expectation of our Senior players which they are no longer able to fulfill. Probably a bit harsh on Gwilt but there have been posts on ...

Its unfortunate this thread has gone this way as it initially was trying to compare where Jack is in comparison to Bontempelli and Salem.

Its an interesting point about kicking because when they attend the draft camp most of the kids drafted are said to be elite with the ball. Why can't some of these guys be strong on both sides of the body.I think if we wish to be successful we need to somehow reinvent a style of football that become...

If he's creating shots at goal everything else will fall into place as he develops physically.There must be times during the game when his legs feel like lead weights which is why his kicking tends to fall away.

I think the two players mentioned probably have a bit more experience around them and also appear a bit more physically bigger than our Jack. I think he shows glimpses of class which like all younger players improves with strengthening their bodies. Playing 18's and then playing against men of all d...

During our good years it was always stated that we had far too many B grade players and not enough A grades to win a flag and i think that the B graders have been found out in recent times as they were ok when we had the goodies up and about but now a few years on and the loss of Dal,BJ,Milne,Kosi,B...

Looks like we are on the same page as i just raised a similar thread. Over the years i can't remember seeing the head of football sitting in the box next to the coach on to many occasions. Is he there to make sure AR is doing his job,provide support listen to comments about players so he can make de...
