I’m not shocked, but I’m genuinely surprised

Classic coaches reaction

Bad loss - drop one or two of your bottom 6

Obviously mismanaged last week (and after R10 last season!) What he needs to do Use his legs, drive out of stoppage - and KICK the footy His want to handball at every opportunity, has him only kicking 33% of the time. He needs to be above 60% His hands are pretty good, that doesn’t mean handball at ...

Really

Finished 12th, 13th and 11th

In 2019/20/21

Did they realise they fkd it up - and changed their minds today?!

Losing is feedback for learning
Name three opposition gun mids
Reel off 3 stats

I’m absolutely bemused by the legend that is Ross Lyon 15 years as a Senior Coach - no premierships Left both lists StK 2012 and Freo 2019 in a fkn mess Is a defensive coach in an attacking era - Stand rule, kick in rule, 6-6-6. You make the most of these rule and use them to your advantage - not tr...

That HB at Sandy is fkn ordinary- he is not really even VFL standard. Dont know what his background is, but it’s not footy.

The small forward requires more explosive power running

Wing is continual running and more aerobic

I’d argue the chance would be greater i50

Reality is though
Any player, any position any time can blow a hammy

No blame lies with the forwards??

We need to take or pick!!!

Whether it’s a bust - or not - we need to have a look at someone.

I can see next season 4 experienced players going off the list!

Plus a couple of delistings

We need to take a Mid Season pick and 4 draftees in the National Draft

Byrnes named on the field

Last three named will be emergency

Uninspiring

Underwhelming

Ryan Byrnes
2 weeks ago worst on ground vs Box Hill
Last week just OK vs a woeful Richmond VFL

Exactly what percentage are we talking here? I see he got 8 clearances from 39 hit outs So at the very most 20% of the time Let’s say in those 8 times he did a hit out instead?! About 30-40% of those would be sharked by the opponent midfielders maybe more because they are better players A few would ...

Rubbish

He may not have lost a contest

But his opponent has lost him plenty of times and got an uncontested possession

Vindication- from Daniel Hoyne Haha 😝 We are ranked last because of the connection forward Because as Ross says - the midfield is spluttering Should I feel vindicated be Marshall was Sainter of the round? Who did you vote as StKs best player last two games? How do you rate our mids in the last two w...

I ummed and ahhed between Bonner and Paton as the seventh defender.

Flip of the coin really

One is a better offensive player, one is better defensively
Hunts I don’t think has 4 AFL quarters in him atm

Fully fit - he’s in rotating between HB and Midfield with Sincs and Stocker to the bench.

Getting the picks is only 1 part of rebuilding Getting the selection right is part 2 Developing them correctly is part 4 Having the right leadership and culture around them - part 4 We got it very right in 2000-2002 GT should take a lot of credit for that We got it very wrong 2012-2014 Elshaug and P...

Didn’t we beat Collingwood

B: Wilkie - Howard - Webster HB: NWM - Battle - Stocker C: Henry - Owens - Wood HF: Wilson - King - Hill F: Higgins - Caminiti - Hayes Foll: Marshall - Steele - Sinclair Int: Crouch - Dow - Windhager - Bonner Sub: Clark Emerg: Ross - Garcia - Sharman Sandy B: Cordy - Keeler - Seaton* HB: Paton - Sch...

I’m the other way

I think we’ve gifted games, which I’m not a fan of

Nothing wrong with learning in the VFL - especially with more significant roles

The ‘hatred’ is actually

Questioning Lyons game plan where we are lucky to kick 8 goals per game

One good win
Beat two basket cases
7 losses


And the way we are playing is dogshit - never seen worse!!!

Ross - as he does - has pigeonholed Owens

Steven really emerged in 2013 as a 23yo

How often did he grab the ball out of the ruck? 10 times?? There were around 90 ball ups It’s a reasonable tact - it gets the ball going your way (it’s a territory game) If you win a hit out stats say it’s about 60/40 that you even win the clearance. Over half the clearances are dump kicks - regardl...
