Re: Effing disgraceful.

Never seen him play, what's the knock on Campbell? Every week stacks of first touch, but never gets promoted. Is now the time to select and play Marshall CHF/CHB/second ruck? Campbell then does nothing else but follow opposition ruck around. But then I probably value a professional leaping tapper mo...

Re: Match Day Demons v Saints

Ross could be coaching Sydney next week and they'd get beat and only score 60. Since the GWS match highlighted we have no game style or system, the players have no idea what they should be doing on the ground. Just run around, commit numbers to lost contests, chip it around then bomb long. We're a r...

Re: RoMa in the ruck

Every other side in the comp would have a higher % strategy in place, Stoppage strategy #7, mids anticipate Marshall possession then run forward, Marshall to handball to one of three options, receiver runs to 50 and hits King lace out. Unfortunately our coaching staff have, to my eye, yet to start t...

Re: Team vs Freo (Walyalup)

I gotta feeling Saturday night going to be a good night. I can feel it. If Ross, the coaches and selected 23 watched the Suns and agree to play a fast moving, the 'footy is always moving forward' brand, we win.

Re: Changes for Freo

Must win so Ross will no doubt go to experience. Hayes getting subbed out so early might have stamped his card, but I'd keep.

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Hawks

Anyone who watches a lot of footy can see the way we're coached to play is the concern. No system, no structure, no 2024 ball movement. Players just randomly moving around playing a chip stop style and mostly rubbish f50 entries. Ross needs to move with the times or get out. Also not a slight on Mar...

Re: King ...out of form or

Saw him lead run into space a dozen times, the kicking to him was abysmal. Hoping he not another wasted talent chewed up by poor coaching and development.

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Roos

Bottom vs bottom 4 on today's form. 90% of fwd 50 entries were rubbish. Bomb after bomb. Not sure what Ross is teaching during the week but certainly playing 2024 style footy is not high in the agenda.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 7 2024

Low Footy IQ example #79. 90 secs left, ball bombed long high 30 out to 1 on 1. Caminetti interferes with Rata and gives away free. Reverse and Port would have gone body on body and force ball to ground.

Footy's moved on from the game style Ross is instructing. Lucky tonight didn't lose by 40. Clarko might rest a couple ahead of next week.

Re: Zak Jones

On exposed form, foot skills are not top 8 AFL standard. If true and has been given another year, hopefully can still be improved over the break. As it is we're carrying more butchers than Ringwood Costco.

Re: Potential off season changes and Round 1 2024 side

Has Highmore dropped off a cliff or no in because Wilkes do that role? Didn't see any VFL, so on exposed history Highmore's the type that Sydney would turn into an elite interceptor. Or not if he's off the cliff?

Re: What do we need to improve in 2024?

We could have another 4 games if we cleaned up F50 entries. We can get Weitering, Gawn, Bont and Bradman. If our strategy is deep entries doesn't matter. We can fix it this week and play finals. Don't know if RTB wants the high mark to have to surpass next season.

Suns 52 I50s for 26 shots. Saints 48 for 13 looks. Same old for the past months. Can't win if the opposition know how you enter and have a plan to run it out. Surely it's as simple as a strict instruction to kick to someone open 35/40 out in space rather than the rubbish deep entries that is the ing...
