I think it's that he doesn't hit the contest with speed, always gets the ball flat footed. Will learn that soon enough.

Re: Sack Lyon
I don't think Ross should be sacked, but I think he should be deservedly under pressure. Not for his job, but for high performance. I do get the feeling he gets a free pass to do what he wants, with no consequence. There's a bit of contradiction in there. Not sure what the free pass is for? We need...

Byrnes won't play at either level. Extended bench selected to allow pl...

Re: Team Saints V Melbourne
Bit underwhelming.
I feel like we need a selection reset. Forget about ins and outs and pick a side from scratch.

Re: Sack Lyon
My read of the last few years of our club coaching 'big picture' is: 2022 - Ratten's last ditch effort with new assistants. Finish 6th-10th. 2023 - Ross's "year of exploration": Play the brand of footy that best suits the current list. Add elite standards for training, on field, and off fi...

Re: Innovate or perish. Part 2
I don't think Collingwood have a better list. They have a few gun players and the rest of the list average or below ours. How many of their players would get a game in our 22? The "few gun players" is a massive difference though. You only need 2 or 3, but they need to be league leaders in ...

Turnovers (per game average) worst to best. Only showing 20. Neither Cordy nor Howard on the list.

Re: Ye old Cordy
This year, Howard has not been beaten in a 1v1 defensive contest. Cordy has a 20% loss rate, which is good but not 'premiership full back' good. Interestingly Howard has not had a handball this year. Turnovers in favour of Cordy, disposal efficiency in favour of Howard. https://i.imgur.com/mkFhIBD.p...

Re: Innovate or perish. Part 2
You can't throw 23 players under 50 games at the same time in the AFL. They will flounder, fail to develop, and you will need another rebuild. What you need is a group of senior players who are good enough at the game, but more importantly can mentor the young players on the field. "Those who c...

NWM is at half back.
Henry will be an outside mid who sometimes plays on the wing.

Re: Changes for Dees game
With our injury list at a minimum we need to be rotating the kids through.
Keeler, Hotton, Allison, McLennan, Heath - should each get a block of 3 games over the next 10.
Collard and Hastie 2 games over the next 10
Pou a block in the VFL, potentially Wilson pending form.
