The guys we use as 'top ups', are they chosen by random lottery from everyday people?
They wouldn't be classified as decent country league players. So, so bad.
Yep.
Employ people that wouldn't get a job at any other AFL club knowing full well they will never question or disagree but they'll happily take the money knowing what a cruisy gig they've landed.
No accountability needed, just acceptance of their masters.
How to be unaccountable
How to give up
How to concede everything at every moment
How to collect scab stats without having any real impact on the game or contest
Horrendous team, horrendous gameplan, and the most insipid coaching group put together.
Embarrassing depth
There isn't a single guy that looks like he'd be anything more than a fill-in type at AFL level.
And then there's the classic PAFC way of defending. When it gets tight zone off and be nowhere near anyone as nobody wants any sort of responsibilty.
Guys look unfit...
Yep, seems that way doesn't it.
Ken is too arrogant to admit his 'ways' are messed up so each year we get talk we have made changes but apart from very small adjustments we keep going the groundhog day route. Keep trying harder and eventually it will all come good.
It's insane, and absolute...
Sounds embarrassing.
The club really needs to step in and stop whatever it is the coaching group are doing. It's obvioulsy not working and hasn't for a long time.
There is no way known that we should lose to any SANFL side by approaching ten goals, something is drastically broken and shouldn't...
Sure has and they're no orphans in that regard too.
But if you read the posts on here by some, repeating themselves over and over and over each week, the key to it all is just to play guys in the seniors every week just because it somehow magically 'develops' them.
None of the younger mid size...
Unless we play sides of a much lower calibre (both as SANFL and AFL level) our gameplan is a total disaster.
It's like Hinkley thinks making football as hard as possibe for our side to play is a good thing while making it nearly as easy as possible for the opposition. How easy is it for our...
I would have loved to grab the win but it didn't eventuate. Opposition, umpires and Hinkley made sure of that.
What I'm most disappointed about is - like usual - the way we lost.
Not many guys playing today have good AFL careers in front of them. Ladhams, maybe Hayes. Marshall still has a...
After having 4 or so weeks to mentally mend myself after watching Hinkley's abhorrent gameplan the nightmare is back again today.
Mids that are more interested in trying to make sure their opponent doesn't get the ball and thus denying us any real attacking options around the ball.
A zone...
God, that's just so painful to watch.
Somebody at the Club has got the 'way to play' so, so wrong it's not funny.
Our gameplan nearly goes against every single fibre of what makes a team, what drives a team, and how those within can grow.
I'd love for Timmy G to have the freedom to let loose...
LOL
yeah but Parker and Cripps are the best in the business - despite no evidence whatsoever.
Just others in a long line of frauds who get a position at the Club then no matter what history tells us we won't move them on and look for better as somebody may get hurt feelings.
Sickening.
Our...
Can we please get rid of Parker and Cripps and find somebody, anybody, that can actually see footballers as footballers instead of continually looking to get guys with a very limited skill base but a few of them try hard.
Then can we have a senior coach whose gameplan isn't so negative that it...
Nah, it's everything for a tall in our side given how we play.
We don't play to create space and honour leads, or block to create space for leading targets. We do the polar opposite. Everybody gather in an area and kick to a contested situation, hope for a strong mark or force a boundary...
Just like the AFL side we are our own worst enemy. We play such a panicky, needing to play through specific routes no matter what the cost, high turnover footy.
Complete lack of any blocking for anyone, guys breaking to their 'set' positions without thought for what's actually happening around...
Wow, we must be watching different games. I don't think he's even close to AFL standard, and probably never will be. Really has a lack of desire to get involved from what I've seen.
I'm still trying to come to terms with Butcher's kick, some 15 min ago.
What did I just see? Surely he's taking the piss now? You just can't kick a footy like that ever!
I feel so sorry for him. I think he kneed it on to his shin, that ran down to his boot, that then tumble punted a good 15m...
