Re: Please explain: What is a ‘system’? What are ‘tactics’?

OK...good. So there is a hiearachy based on how much time and discussion is available. Our reality or the facts of the matter/how we perceive the reality including all the blind spots we have/strategy to deal best with it as we see it/ system to implement the strategy most effectively/tactics to ex...

Re: Just bumped in to Timmy Watson at the G

He was from Dimboola FFS. Great player though. And, thought jabbing up was no bad thing, even if what was in the syringes was not familiar to those who ran the 'science' out that way. I still remember Timid 'explaining' clinical trials of AOD 9604, on SEN one day during the 'supplements saga'. So v...

Re: Who would I consider off the table for trade?

Would add both Billings and Acres to keep list. Trade Sinclair, McKenzie and Rice ( slow) but may not have much currency. Lonie is uncontracted so has no trade value. Agree we need to give more time to Marshall, Long and Austin. Joyce will not make it, we can't develop recruits that have grown up w...

Re: Anyone watch that rubbish tonight, and still fancy Menzel?

Menzel was ok had limited opportunities and he will fit in well as he got nothing from the umpires. Consider this - he has a midfield including Selwood, Dangerfield, Ablett and a bloke who had a very good year, Kelly - and he still struggled to touch and win his own ball!?!? Wot, 27, and a bucket l...

Re: Please explain: What is a ‘system’? What are ‘tactics’?

A quick read, and I think Shane G is the only one who mentioned "strategy". So, kudos. Unfortunately, the explanation of what strategy is, was wrong. Strategy sits atop the tree - it's the identification of where you are, cf where you want to be, the gap, and broadly what you need to do to...

Re: Who would I consider off the table for trade?

Fair call on Sinclair but I doubt we would get any interest. A first rounder for Billings would be acceptable in my view, he does not play to his draft position so another should be tried. We need to be in this draft somehow to have the wherewithal to make a play for some real talent. A first and s...

Re: Another Collingwood drugs scandal

Pity they didn't drug test the whole team after the replayed grand final. if i recall correctly, there were elevated levels of HGH (human growth hormone) or maybe testosterone. In about 10 Filth players. They were borderline, not over the limit. It was either covered up or not highlighted by the me...

A few days after the 2010 grand final replay. I know someone who worked at the Herald Sun at the time. Mark Robinson was going to go with the story.

Re: Saints stand by Richo

Great post ToT. This cuts to the essence of why the players should not be blamed. They are demoralised because they have a coach they don’t trust.
