Caminiti trial down back probably to see whether we need to throw big bucks to Battle. Looked ok against Lions. Hawk fans would be nervous 2025 watching Frost and Battle dispose by foot.

Another superstar junior, floundering at AFL level. I'm a pass.

What's he like sitting under a deep entry? In any case I'd resign Campbell.

If I recall the knock at draft time was discipline and a touch puffy. Body shape lends to be a beast with a couple of preseasons. If Ross allows, barrels after a point would clear (and some) the Docklands centre circle. Weapon.

Looking forward to seeing his left foot cannon. Sainters 'wooooof' boy.

We get the entries but they're mostly wasted long and deep that opposition know is coming and get setup to rebound out. If we clean up entries to hit targets, I'd suggest another 12-15 controlled 30-35m looks a game. If those shots are at 50%, there is the 100 points and we're lauding Ross the attac...

Watching the replay.... which is it? Are we are filled with low footy IQ players who instinctively long high bomb rather than a 20m dart to teammate 35 out all alone? Is it a team rule to ignore a free player in favour of a deep entry that the opposition know is our M.O? I'm up to 14 the number of b...

What's the knock on Campbell at senior level? No tank? No foot skills? Would have thought by now he could have been tested as a contest tap ruck who follow opposition #1 around the ground freeing up Marshall to float across the f50 arc (dropping Caminetti or Members). Ross mustn't value tappers.

Never seen him play, what's the knock on Campbell? Every week stacks of first touch, but never gets promoted. Is now the time to select and play Marshall CHF/CHB/second ruck? Campbell then does nothing else but follow opposition ruck around. But then I probably value a professional leaping tapper mo...

Ross could be coaching Sydney next week and they'd get beat and only score 60. Since the GWS match highlighted we have no game style or system, the players have no idea what they should be doing on the ground. Just run around, commit numbers to lost contests, chip it around then bomb long. We're a r...

Every other side in the comp would have a higher % strategy in place, Stoppage strategy #7, mids anticipate Marshall possession then run forward, Marshall to handball to one of three options, receiver runs to 50 and hits King lace out. Unfortunately our coaching staff have, to my eye, yet to start t...

7:26, lucky to be 10k in.

I gotta feeling Saturday night going to be a good night. I can feel it. If Ross, the coaches and selected 23 watched the Suns and agree to play a fast moving, the 'footy is always moving forward' brand, we win.

Unless we've hidden one, is there any point? They won't play.

Sat night so will get 25+.

Must win so Ross will no doubt go to experience. Hayes getting subbed out so early might have stamped his card, but I'd keep.
Out: Garcia and Hastie to have a spell (managed), Paton
In: Clark, Phillipou, Dow

Anyone who watches a lot of footy can see the way we're coached to play is the concern. No system, no structure, no 2024 ball movement. Players just randomly moving around playing a chip stop style and mostly rubbish f50 entries. Ross needs to move with the times or get out. Also not a slight on Mar...

Saw him lead run into space a dozen times, the kicking to him was abysmal. Hoping he not another wasted talent chewed up by poor coaching and development.

Bottom vs bottom 4 on today's form. 90% of fwd 50 entries were rubbish. Bomb after bomb. Not sure what Ross is teaching during the week but certainly playing 2024 style footy is not high in the agenda.

Low Footy IQ example #79. 90 secs left, ball bombed long high 30 out to 1 on 1. Caminetti interferes with Rata and gives away free. Reverse and Port would have gone body on body and force ball to ground.

Footy's moved on from the game style Ross is instructing. Lucky tonight didn't lose by 40. Clarko might rest a couple ahead of next week.

Easy to see why we're ranked #18 in footy IQ.

Bris leading GWS 21-14 Q/T.

Not with a ten foot pole. Steer clear.

On exposed form, foot skills are not top 8 AFL standard. If true and has been given another year, hopefully can still be improved over the break. As it is we're carrying more butchers than Ringwood Costco.
