Re: Seb Ross

In fairness to Seb, I think it’s also a case of tempering expectations... If he was a 5th or 6th mid off the bench rather than one that we tend to rely on as our best his limitations become less of an issue I tend to agreee Skeppas but I think you are being a little disingenuous with the 5th or 6th...

Re: Dunstan

24 years old, 93 games - Pbly pushed harder than what he should have been and harshly judged by many here. But by the same token... the pain of that early investment may be starting to pay dividends even if it’s taken longer than we hoped. Much like how Lonie was in and out of the side... dropped, ...

Re: The season so far

Great thread, agree we are one key tall forward short of getting the right structure. We don't need 2 rucks, I've seen enough of Marshall to think he's our guy to go it alone with support from part timers in the forward line and backline. And absolutely short a couple of mids hence why all the atten...

Re: Lose to the Blues, Cho must GO

We know some details about Richo’s contract: if he doesn’t win a final game then he isn’t guaranteed to coach next year. What interests me is who provided that information to Tom Morris & what was their motivation in doing so? Expect change (unless we win a final). We know jack about the detail...

Re: Lose to the Blues, Cho must GO

can anyone verify that this is his last season if he fails to win a final in 2019 I'm fine with this if this can be confirmed, gives us closure and an end date rather than the guessing that's been going on and the impatience I'm out of patience and would like certainty that we've given him a better...

Re: The BIGGEST issue with our coach.

It's all about continuous improvement, we need to improve enough this year, in most measures, recruiting being one of those important measures, to the same amount of continuous improvement we could have expected over 2 seasons and that is to make up for last seaon. We can tick the recruitment and de...

Re: 24 hours later

I deliberately banned myself from the forum after the game yesterday as i was so disappointed. 24 hours later: - Walking in i expected to lose by 4 goals - Great effort for 3/4 of the game. Effort unfortunately isn't a column on the ladder. - Again the elephant in the room GOAL KICKING. Saw a post ...

Re: The F word

Yes big game today. The biggest for our club in a couple of seasons. Must get good games out of most senior players today. We are playing the premier s though who will hit back at some time. Possibly today so perspective is needed. They have mature and seasoned players, but we are a legitimate chan...

Re: Clark facing the axe

The data shows clearly Cho is not a good head coach. Opinions are irrelevant. The data shows that the club has been unsuccessful. It is your opinion that this is largely/entirely the fault of the coach. There is no data to show how another coach would perform in exactly the same situation. This jus...

Going into this season my expectation was probably bottom 4, but with the hope we might win 6 or 7 games and finish around 10th. After round 7 we find ourselves in the top 8, but my intuition tells me that we'll probably continue to slide down the ladder as expected. However, history tells us that ...

Re: team for round 8

I thought we might have started tanking last week but this week our beloved Cho has confirmed (for me personnally at least) that he and his match committee have NFI. What a confidence boost for Darragh. Bring him in to play 1 game on the best full forward currently in the competition, and then axe ...
