Re: Cold Hard Facts

No side plays perfect football The metric is making less unforced errors than your opposition Look at the Adelaide player, probably one of the best kicks for goal across the competition On the three quarter time siren he sprayed a set shot, virtually straight out from goal and just managed a point ...

Re: Chasing Weitering

We have never replaced Carlisle - and that has been to our detriment My view is that you build sides from defence So there is your answer from me Yes, we also need support for Marshall and for King but the question is where are the options across the competition And mids - well, we have started wit...

Re: Chasing Weitering

It's a pipe dream How is getting one good defender going to change our fortunes? We couldn't prize out TDK so what makes them think Weitering will bite? It's also a stupid amount of money and typical of our club looking for short cuts. Every player looking to move and every player manager will be tr...

Re: Changes for Freo

We started the 3rd quarter with Paton replacing Hayes. The commentators said that was a good attacking mindset from coach. Where's the attacking mindset from the opening bounce? Been banging on about this for weeks....Would love to see Windy and Owens start in the middle alongside Steele. Hopefully...

Re: Windhager

His ferocity, his fitness and his courage is enormous. We need more players hunting the footy and winning clearance like Windy. Loves the heat and loves pressure. His ability to find the ball is elite. Just needs to work on his disposal and trying to get on the run sometimes instead of kicking the f...

Re: RTB's Presser

So you're disputing what the coach is doing. You think it's wrong? He clearly gave Sincs the midfielder role. He was in the middle from the opening siren and I watched him go to every stoppage in the first 3-4 minutes. Sincs isn't there to burrow in and win on the inside. I'm sure he puts his head o...

Re: RTB's Presser

He had enough talent to be on an AFL list, but the red flags meant he should have gone at 4 or 5 or pick 10. Even the great Chris Judd wasn't taken at pick 1 due to a pre-existing health concern. Now that I think of it...it was all set up wasn't? Recruiters from Melbourne and Collingwood knew they d...

We obviously have some personnel issues with injuries, but the main issue right now is the playing style.

He's fully fit so he should be back to what he was doing...if ...as you say 'he's playing much the same role' In 2021 his centre clearances were 2.7 per game and he was equal in total clearance averages to most of the best mids.
