That Which Wins You Games...
Fans of footy put a lot of emphasis on various things which are said to win you a game of footy: You need a good coach (tactically, of course...) You need match-winning players You need good structures and 'set-plays' You need to be fit, fast, well drilled You need some luck with injury/umpiring/fix...

harder surfaces should lead to less fatigue than softer surfaces in the game itself but, they are also linked to more damage and therefore longer recovery, which i guess is the fatigue you're talking about a softer surface decreases the rate of loading in impact, which is seen as the major determina...

Clint Jones will not improve his kicking in my estimation, his style is so incongruent with a nice kick, that he just won't be able to improve it much there is still value he can add...if he can work on his hands and win the ball in close or become more of a tagger type then that is good he has the ...

i'm far from sold on goose as far as i can see, he is our weakest link at the moment... panics in 1-on-1s too much, gives away frees as well... i say weakest link because he will be playing on a gun in a dangerous position, as opposed to a bench/midfielder type he is a worry for mine obviously he's ...

Some Positives
1) The Corridor We really went through the corridor yesterday, allowing our delivery inside 50 to make use of the fat side much better. We were fast through the middle with a lot of carry through the centre square and numbers running in support. Probably our best ball movement of the year. 2) Kick-I...

OWTS, i find that you rely on stats too much well, maybe rely isn't the right word, but you're always looking to them to get a point across i mean, you say we had 5th lowest games avg this weekend, but do you have the actual numbers on that? may as well post the full stats...as far as i've always be...

Re: Where's the 'Lyon Toughness'??
While you can get ALL players to play harder, tackle more etc....some players are just naturally pre-disposed to being mean bas****. Baker was not taught to be mean & fierce....nor was Sammy... and no matter how much you coach you will NEVER turn players such as Harvey, Dal or Fiora into mean b...
