Because he can’t kick

Who from the older core

Is not getting a game?

Zak Jones - Ross doesn’t rate him

Any others?

Is he playing kids over older players?

I don’t thinks so, or he would’ve played Schoenmaker instead of an underdone Howard - who was atrocious

I believe they are

Let’s revisit King vs Rozee in 5 years

I’m spewing we didn’t live trade for Ben King too

As I said, offensive HBs or running backs and or Wingman will obviously have the lowest tackling numbers Given their position in modern footy it’s pretty obvious Inside Mids Normally average 4-6 tackles per game Small forwards should average about 3 HHFs 2-3 small defenders 2-3 KPPs around 1- 2 Wing...

I don’t thinkk we’ve rebuilt at all since Pelchen

Which is why we are a mid table mess

In 2018/2019
We did a top up after recruiting Clarke, Coffield and King
Hannebery then Ryder, Hill, Howard, Butler,
Then Higgins, Zak Jones and Crouch

Petracca

Larke Medal - best Division 1 player in the champs
Runner Up in the Morrish Medal
B&F Eastern Ranges

Massive vertical leap (indicates leg power)

Why not Billings vs Paddy Cripps or Zac Merrett? Why limit it just to Bontempelli?! Why not Dane Swan or Brian Lake in 2001 and not Josh Houlihan What about Nat Fyfe in 09 - we traded the pick just before he was selected for A Lovett What about Taking David Armitage when James Frawley and Jack Reiwo...

Gary ‘the glove’ Payton?

Paton - played
Dow - Played
Hayes - Played (third game)
Webster - available
Heath - available
Clark - test
Wood - test
Crouch - 1-2 weeks
Henry- 1- 2 weeks

Higgins - 3 weeks
Butler 4-5 weeks
Van Es - Season

Plays in a position where tackling is not common

Not sure how many tackles Nasiah and Battle have but he plays a similar role.

He’s not an inside mid

Steele will only get past 32 if his body holds up

Only really good players (A Grade) get to play to 34/35 If your an also ran or your best is behind you, you likely gone at 30 Even Crouch, Ross, Membrey, Jones, Webster who have all been serviceable or better will be done at 30-32 A Grade players like Marshall, Steele, Wilkie, Sinclair can go throug...

Wilkie is in the wrong category

checked his age - just turned 28

Will be 31/32 when contending so should be in the maybe category

Geelong have surprised - did you pick them as a top 2 team?

They are remarkable

I still don’t think they are a premiership threat though

Collingwood- hard to gauge
Probably the luckiest premiership in my memory

They won a ridiculous amount of close games last season including finals.

Is the new ‘year of exploration’ So we are trying to win games and get games into kids at the same time - to build a premiership list Injuries could be a blessing in disguise Maybe this year, dropping down and getting a pick 5-8 won’t be the worst thing? Combined with a pick 23-28. And maybe trading...

Article is basic and just goes along with media narrative

There is no ‘root cause’

Its analysis is simplistic and could be written by a year 10 kid

Why was he selected in the first place

Now he needs to develop

12 possessions
0.5 goals

Needs to get closer to 17 possessions and 1 goal

With previous coaches we must have had better players and no injuries

Only ever seen Ross at the VFL once before - and that was last time he was coach.

He may have been there but not visible

Ratten and AR were frequently there

Steele and Hunter were there, Steele normally is there

Jones was BOG Campbell thrashed a smaller opponent Hayes was excellent Dow was serviceable but not damaging- he turned it over a bit Paton is a really solid player especially at VFL level McConnell was handy Keeler - possibly his best game Allison was OK plays below his size though McLennan - if he ...

Bullants are not great

But Sandy playing pretty well

1st Q
Best : Hayes, Hastie, Dow, McLennan
2nd Q
Best: Jones, Campbell, Keeler

All Saints players doing ok

Problem is

We need to win next week - or we are playing for draft picks!

How do you measure a coaches performance?

Win/Loss?

Premierships?

Great coaches are nothing without quality players, whereas quality players can still dominate regardless of the coach!
