Can anyone explain to me how the hell Billy Frampton has turned into a decent player? And a ruck at that!
Did not see that one coming.
 
I actually do think he is a strong motivational coach, so benefits from coaching from the bench compared to sitting in the box looking at his headsets manual trying to figure out why all he hears is community radio stations when he turns it on.

Whether that motivation will last through the whole season and into September when it really counts remains to be seen. We've seen plenty of coaches that have experienced a sudden rise in the effort from their players when they started to coach from the bench, but it hasn't often lasted long-term that I've witnessed.
Interesting point of view.

I remember when Craig was in his final year of coaching with Adelaide, he had about 4 games in a row where we won from memory and he was coaching from the bench then down hill from there.

Ladhams the Swans ruck for the game spent 50% of the game off the playing field and for the other half McLean a forward was their ruck might explain why he looked half decent in ruck?

Amazing what happens if you actually try something out. We had a few posters suggest it when we were up against a crap ruck and ROB was out of form. Not so much for his ruckwork, but more break even there but see what he can do delivery wise around the ground.

He was never a bad player. Maybe to the haters on here he was. The game against the Bulldogs last year showed us what he could be. Strachan plays a similar game not as good.

Pretty sure that we didn’t win 4 games in a row (was lucky to be two) given he was sacked after the shellacking at Marvel against St Kilda

He is the same Billy

I don’t think he has improved greatly, he is just playing in a better team that is able to cover his mistakes

Every game he still has his poor moments

Anyone seen the Van Rooyen incident he got 2 weeks for?
Shouldn’t have even been sighted.
Christian has well and truly lost the plot, if there was any doubt before.

Can we just hurry and win one? Then I'm giving the game away. Its bullshit.

Yep, it’s no conspiracy against us, it’s just a crap system with an incompetent operator. Plus you’d have the AFL micromanaging every outcome that interests them.
 
😆 at the vision of Matt Rowell munching on the grass pre game.
 
The Good News about our game vs the Saints, is that we probably only need 10-12 goals at most to win the game.

The Bad News is that Lyon will make sure its an almost impossible task.
We need to run & gun it... particularly before they have an opportunity to put 20 players behind the ball.

Billy is useless as a 1:1 defender, but has good skills for a tall... so we don't use him in ruck when ROB was stinking it up, but tried turning him into a key defender...
