Tanked for the Mid Season Draft?

These guys are not assured to even debut

Hall looks OK at VFL level - so does Garcia, Zac Jones and on the weekend Ollie Hotton

He is smallish - 180cm

Butler, Jones are 182
Hotton and Sincs are 181

We will play him as a small forward no doubt

Why would Battle leave the best coached club All you need is a gun coach and you are assured success?! Pagan at the Blues Malthouse at the Blues Sheedy at the Giants Parkin at Fitzroy Walls at Brisbane Jeans at Richmond Barrassi at Melbourne Blight at StK Roos at Melbourne Could go on!!!!! A coach w...

Players are not products of coaches

Coaches are products of players

The best coach in the AFL is not Clarkson, Scott, Lyon 0r McRae

It’s the one with the best players available

At the moment that is Longmire

Why do we think average player older than 28 are worth anything

We deserve criticism

Don’t sook it up when it comes

It’s funny how our memory serves us Reiwoldt was widely criticised as Captain for having poor body language, criticising young players if they didn’t kick it to him, and missing crucial shots on goal Everyone at the time said Lenny Hayes should be captain Me - I didn’t GAF because captaincy in footy...

We went 5-0 at the start of the year - surprised everyone- were incredibly fit - and were under estimated

After that to now

We are 11W 19L

Marshall Like all of our best players, is not the problem It’s the ones who are poor that is hurting us Your best players can’t do more than play well, it’s the players who aren’t playing well that is the problem Paddy Ryder actually caused Marshall to be more ineffective Marshall is a C Grade Forwa...

Players can still play well in losses

We did not get beaten by 20-30 goals

How are you judging leadership

Team Performance?

Is a state league player going to necessarily fill an immediate need?

Josh Battle is 193
Is 2cm going to make that much difference?
Cal Wilkie is only 191 - plays tall

It was Seb Ross Now it’s Jack Steele Who is regarded as the best two way mid in the game - yes there is offence and defence Steele gives 100% every week. He is a dual AA and has finished on the podium at least 5 times in the B&F This year he’ll win his third He leads by example Which is the ONLY...

Playing every week in the VFL is something you do if you are not ready to play AFL and you are acclimatising to senior footy (he is 65kg and straight from WAFL colts) His game vs BH was awful- and he got rewarded with AFL selection He cost his team the game, he was in tears after the game, his confi...

Our leaders aren’t the problem

They are all doing well

Our game plan is flawed

Our midfield is lacking

Our forward line is dysfunctional (due to our ball movement)

Max Hall Averages

23.6 possessions
12.4 kicks
11.1 handballs
0.7 goals
6.1 marks
4.3 tackles
3.4 clearances
99.6 ranking points

Injury list is
James Van Es

Maybe Jack Hayes
As a test

Yep injury crisis

Richmond have 24 unavailable

Max Hall Averages

23.6 possessions
12.4 kicks
11.1 handballs

Collier Dawkins Averages in the VFL

23.6 possessions
10.5 Kicks
13.1 handballs
0.3 goals

5.3 tackles
6.3 clearances
91.5 Ranking points

How big do they have to be?

Josh Battle?!

How’d he earn his spot last year

As a general forward he averaged 4 kicks and Hal a goal per game?

Get real man!!!

6 kicks
10 handballs

As a full time mid in the VFL

He cannot find the ball in transition- he only gets a possession at stoppage.

He is so down on confidence- he is running in wet concrete and in circles

I hate how we are playing

Does that make me a hater?

Yep

Grammar is what we need to focus on?

While the reason we are here, the footy team, is playing putrid football.

But yeah, worry about commas and apostrophes!!!
