Re: Ross Lyon tactics

Seems to me that some coaches figure out a way through this RTB’s plan and some don’t. When they figure it out… we tend to look pretty bad. That said… I thought RTB put on a master class on Saturday night I know nothing of tactics, but look. Hardwick has flags, now has a slew of top draft picks at ...

Re: 3 veterans are done

Why are so many fans obsessed after a win with bagging individual players and demanding they be cut? AFL clubs have big lists nowadays: what’s more important is who we can recruit, not who we cut I reckon Webster and Ross could conceivably go round another year. Membrey isn’t looking too hot ATM bu...

Re: Changes for Gold Coast

So Ross has decided that Seb offers us more this week than Crouch would. He's probably the only person who follows football with that opinion. Not just Ross. Boris Banger BJ Damian Carroll maybe Jake Batchelor might have a voice in Match Committee as well. Something weird is going on. Do they expec...

Re: Changes for Gold Coast

I can’t believe no crouch. You need an older fella in the 2s to teach the way and I thought it would have been Ross getting dropped, Crouch in. Bonner out for Arie. Arie has been tearing it up and smashing the door to be selected. Needs a game. 💯💯 Bonner got the DCM from Port because although he ca...

Re: Sandringham v Frankston

I wonder if the coaches think Pou might be a younger version of the Bont due to his height and left foot.
If so, he's the Bont you'd buy on Wish or Temu.

An inferior version dressed up.

Not bagging him, but he ain't got the tools yet and nobody can predict if he'll ever become a handy player

Re: ..at the risk of positivity ..

Basket cases don't get free agents. If they do they have to pay massive overs, which in turn disenfranchise current players. Eg trying to pay $1.3m to Weitering and letting Battle go. For peanuts. Saints paid overs for Hanneberry. 😳😲 And chased Brad Hill, who has copped a lot of vitriol on social m...

Re: Darcy Wilson

One play vs Tigers in Gather Round, in the final few minutes- before his run down tackle. It's at 04:35 remaining in the match. He was chasing a loose ground ball in our D50, ended up prone on the ground between 2 very fast small Tigers. Darcy didn't panic, one of the Tigers went to push him/hold hi...

Re: Latest scuttle butt…

Confused.
We have a big war chest but are currently at our cap limit?

And as an outsider, I wouldn't say Battle is having poor form.
Sure, he's not looking as composed as normal, but neither are

Re: Let's Talk About the Elephant In the Room

I watched the Doggies vs Pies. Several times, they had 3 talls moving apart from each other, like 20m -30m apart. Commentators highlighted this. Saying it stretched the defence and the talls didn't spoil each other. Also, the delivery is a lot better than ours. Several times, I think we had King and...

Re: Will Wilkie’s run of continuous games be ended?.

I saw him go for a spoil on the wing, like you said.

His arm gave him lots of trouble afterwards.
He looked in a lot of pain but kept going.

#2 Did Ross get sick at half-time and Corey took over coaching? I was at the game but not paying attention at the 3 qtr-time break, to our huddle. But Boris did the presser post-game. If Boris coached the 2nd half, then maybe RTB changes job duties to 'Director of Coaching' like Mark Williams is doi...

For a 14 point win against last years wooden spooners and one of three clubs below us on the ladder?

Some reasonable match day changes in the middle of the game but the games are won and lost with coaching well before the first bounce.
Didn't they beat the Dees?

Game to be rescheduled????

ABC is reporting a fuel supply issue at Perth Airport has caused the airport to shut down.

And this apparently affects flights in other capital cities

Maybe- because planes can't fly to Perth from Melb, Adel etc because when they land in Perth, they'll be stuck and cannot leave?????
