Fisher looks so much better with shorter hair and hopefully gets back to his best

 

[thylacine60]

what's his best? have we seen it or is he still getting there?

patchy at best.

 

[Accidental genius]

His best is good but thinking he is too reliant on his left peg. To improve his right side I would like to see him only kick with his right foot over preseason. It will make a world of difference. Become comfortable with the uncomfortable.

 

[thylacine60]

hmmm......that seems a pretty obvious start even his junior coaches should have been running with him - is he that crippled on the right though? even simmo was adequate by the end of things.......

Took him 15 years but he got there..

 

[AlecDuncan]

Any sightings of Josh Cripps and Tyreece Leiu?

Seems like a great way to improve his right a bit at the expense of his preferred. He should be working on his opposite but not something anywhere as drastic as that. Don't need to be Sam Mitchell, just a serviceable opposite is probably enough to get him out of trouble and keep defenders questioning which way he'll go (rather than knowing he'll always try to find a way onto the left, just like Willo)

I think the point is that Voss and the coaches need to be in charge of training, so anyone else who is involved (like Diesel) needs to be following Voss's instructions. But Diesel is above Voss in the hierarchy, therefore Voss needs to be following Diesel's instructions. So having Diesel getting hands-on at this level creates the potential for confusion / clashing instructions / undercutting of the coaches / etc.

That said, there's no evidence at present of any such problem. Hopefully all parties can manage Diesel's involvement to everyone's benefit.

From what I've heard Diesel is just telling 'em to harden up (mainly). Also, helping with skills and (body) positioning for midfielders.

Teaching at the micro level skills while Voss and the rest of coaches do the actual coaching.

Think of it like having Sav as a goalkicking coach, but for midfielders.

 

[thylacine60]

telling players to harden up.......that'll work...........

Just rewatched our game from round 1 last year, that was a really good game to watch. Fisher, Dow, Setters, Doc, Fogarty all had great games (not to mention the typical contributors (Walsh, Cripps etc)).
I reckon we beat them this year, it’s our time

2013 … just saying … going on a decade since we have beat them

R1 against tiggies is a must win game for our players. A win will allow them to overcome the mental hurdle they’ve suffered for so long now. A win will set them up for a good year.

 

[marcmurphy3]

Is it? From a corporate governance perspective it’s a tad concerning. That said, in Cook we trust.

Williams unlike our other directors is full-time and paid in his role as footy director. If the intent was just for him to fulfill his governance responsibilities he wouldn't need to be. I suspect there is an agreement that he supports part time as a skills coach in addition to his board role. It allows him to be closer to the football program and gives the club an extra coach paid outside the soft cap.

Never understood this "must win" term. I don't believe these absolutisms are helpful on any level.

 

[Jeremias]

R1 isn't a must win but there's no doubt it would provide a massive confidence boost if we did walk away with the 4 points.

It sucks that we've walked away from the season opener with a loss for I don't know how many years, but there was a time where the shoe was on the other foot and that time will come again at some stage.

 

[agro]

Corporate - Shmorporate!!!

I was going for a Daffy Duck vibe there ferrisb - I can count on you to pick that up

 

[thylacine60]

damn I love daffy - suck a conniving prick of a thing..........

Yeah agree but also we have the cattle/talent now so I’m thinking that “some stage” should be now.

Go figure… (H.B. for tomorrow old fella)

We've certainly got the talent. But it's not as though they're a bad side either, despite a relatively poor 2021.

 

[JuddgementDay]

Also, I think the core of the group has had significant pre-seasons.
I just don't see us being pushed around anymore, in particular against bigger teams - e.g. North in the past

I think we'll stand up well against most teams now - we just need some luck with injuries and a decent game plan

 

[Arr0w]

History shows, generally, that when a new coach arrives, wins in the 1st half of the season are less than the 2nd half

Would be nice to start well

 

[BluStreak]

Boys are back ...


Doc

Finally got some color on the old noggin.

He's on a good wicket too.
