We were the number 1 team for turnover score differential going into last weekI think our turnover game would improve significantly, just sayingā¦
Okay, Wickzki - so:To be honest Iām a layman with an interest in these things, Iāll need to read the study (I am genuinely interested) because otherwise Iāll just be talking out of my ass
But my initial thoughts based on nothing over than anecdotes of other athletes I know of that have injured their spleens with varying severities
Iāll get back to you, good chat
We've got 5 and a half.I think the thoughts on āstar powerā on this board is wildly overratedā¦

Delist:100% agree: you start the list and I will add to it, donāt hold back!
Fritsch would be very handy if we get rid of Jack Martin.Apparently a few other Demons feel the same as Petracca.
No harm in shaking the tree, see what falls out.
A Fritch, a Salem, a Leverā¦..
Players don't walk out on the CFC, they're comfortable being comfortable
Coaches from other teams have worked us out. Outside run & gut running in waves getting the ball quickly to their fowards is the plan to beat us. We are slow with our transition and our defence is our nemesis. We need more outside run. Wilson is coming along nicely but will take time. What about inquiring about Houston? Despite every Blues supporter knowing our defence deficiencies, I can't understand why our LM never identified this at last year's draft or free agency period. We are crying out for a decent 198ā200cm KPD to assist Weitering.. News that Hawthorn are into both Barass AND Battle baffles me why we haven't made approaches to these two players. We need a competent kpd now,. If we take a kpd through the draft it's going to take several years before he shows anything. Thank you for putting up will my LM frustrations.
I believe it is because everyone is saying we have no Salary Cap space to buy them.Coaches from other teams have worked us out.

Hmmm with the data I've collected in recent years they'd be thinking, we have Young and Durdin.Anyone reckon our LMs have an eye out for a KPD?
Or would they be thinking - Don't be stupid...we have Young and Durdin?
How is it Looneyville? One year can be an outlier, the last 20+ years would show we are a terrible modern sporting organisation.Some of the melts in here are hilarious. The club played in a prelim last year and was sitting 2nd on the ladder until injuries and bad form hit.
To suggest we're still a laughing stock or the equivalent of the 7000+ day Bombers is looneyville type stuff. We'll be back next year and be taking it up to teams pushing deep for finals again. If we can sort out our high performance stuff and shuffle a few of the traffic cones on our list we'll be as good a shot as anyone.

Do you honestly believe our club is looked at as some sort of joke organisation since Voss, Cook and Sayers took over? If you do I think that says more about you than anything else. We've had 2 'bad' losses this year and the rest of the games we've been in up to our eyeballs fighting tooth and nail to win.How is it Looneyville?

We only made the prelim off of a 12 game span, Jack Russell should have been canned, we are very rarely ahead and quite reactive in our decision making. Since 2000 the only thing we have claimed are some beautiful looking wooden spoons for our collection, 5 if I recall correctly but happy to be proven wrong
With the build up of sore bodies and injuries a few weeks ago maybe we should've taken a hit and rested 6-8 of those players for a week or 2 and freshened them up to guarantee we'd be okay and fresh to tackle our last 4 games of which 3 we'd have a high chance of winning.True but that form late last year has become more the exception than the rule. We were 2nd, so what happened? We have since won 1 of 6 games and only won 7 of 23 quarters since 1/4 time of GWS game
The fall has been dramatic and serious questions need to be asked
"something should have been done in the off season but it wasn't"Do you honestly believe our club is looked at as some sort of joke organisation since Voss, Cook and Sayers took over? If you do I think that says more about you than anything else. We've had 2 'bad' losses this year and the rest of the games we've been in up to our eyeballs fighting tooth and nail to win.
End of the day we have a limited list in terms of flexibility and the worst injury management in the league, we all knew this going into this year and something should have been done in the off season but it wasn't.
The core of our club are still combatant as anything and try their guts out every week, we're not like the Bombers who just roll over and die every time the going gets tough.
List changes and better off field support for the group is what we need. Not to burn the place to the ground because we're angry we bottled our end to the season.
I honestly do reckon our club is still a joke yes, and it kills me. Off field we run gimmicks to suck the supporters in and get pumped up, rather than letting the on field stuff do the speaking. And when you have opposition coming out after a win, and Iām paraphrasing āwe know they donāt work hard in the 4thā what does that say about opposition sides respecting us. You have to demand respect in this league, and we havenāt and still play off being successful when blokes were punching darts and were plumbers on the sideDo you honestly believe our club is looked at as some sort of joke organisation since Voss, Cook and Sayers took over?

The fall has been dramatic but we've been exposed at exactly how we all thought we could be. Teams stacking pacey half forwards and bringing all their numbers up around the ball and burning us on the way back.True but that form late last year has become more the exception than the rule. We were 2nd, so what happened? We have since won 1 of 6 games and only won 7 of 23 quarters since 1/4 time of GWS game

Club took a gamble on an array of injury prone list cloggers to finally get their bodies right and it didn't come off."something should have been done in the off season but it wasn't"
I'll leave that quote with you. Because if I'm looking from the outside and saw that we didn't change tact in that department, I'd be laughing.

'we know they donāt work hard in the 4thā that's so very Mitchell and Hawthorn, mind games at its finest. I'd love for that to be taped on the locker room walls for the remainder of the season because that's more inspirational than "we'll get to work" or "find the best version of ourselves".I honestly do reckon our club is still a joke yes, and it kills me.
