It’s all about IQ

mcreery is smart

Cottrell is goofey

He also chases at high speed and tackles hard. Cottrell does the opposite. Chalk and Cheese.

how the hell wasn't that a mark for port. crazy stuff umpire

 

[ESKIE]

Voss is a micro manager. My x manager was like that… got sacked 2 months ago.

Eerk can’t stand that

 

[CarmenSandiego]

A lot of players will back this up

Interesting. So was Dimma before 2017. He learned to let go and trust his assistants and players.

Let’s hope Vossy does similar.

 

[myblueroan]

I’m trying to forget

Exactly. Would be good if everything we see watching other teams wasn't reflected back as a whinge about ours in this thread. (please )

Mcreery makes a huge diff to filth

That goal he scored was all planned.

Peddles ran inwards whilst mcreery and daicos ran outwards and Cameron tapped it outwards whilst lions players got sucked in running inwards.

I’m still pissed off like Passy is but not much we can do.

He's had his chances.

It was a massive criticism in his coaching at Brisbane.

His refusal to blood younger players outside of rare exceptions.

A refusal to move off Plan A and to stick with his favorites.

The same criticisms we have of him at Carlton are why he was fired in Brisbane.

He's a better coach now than he was then but he's the same person.

Cats well in control

This is true by his own admission

 

[Wickzki]

Cats could get up to second tonight.

 

[gbatman]

JHF has some serious forward skills

 

[Wickzki]

Got a feeling that if we play finals it's back up here we come.

 

[jj1978]

Good captains can micro manage -- why Vossy was a fantastic captain.

A strong coach has to have faith in their players.

matthews was a strong fierce coach. Voss just led by example on the field not sure how good he was off it.

Underlying philosophy won’t change it’s how he implements it. He ain’t doing it well consistently.. or pushing the wrong levers stifling momentum.

 

[jj1978]

Saints resting for next weeks grand final.

 

[ESKIE]

JHF played for Collingwood…. The commentators would just be going nuts.

Buckley would have both hands in his pockets.. one for JHF and one for Naicos. Poor person who’d look after his laundry.

 

[gbatman]

If you hit a player below the knees it's a free kick... unless you have the ball . That was a free to JHF

Think this is a touch unfair. Cotts was playing some pretty intelligent footy prior to his injury, and while they play similar positions their roles aren't really the same. Cotts doesn't tackle and forms a link up, and is not particularly good in the contest, contributing through simply never taking a rest and disposing intelligently, kicking goals when they come; a high half forward. MaCreery is a Richmond small forward, with pace to burn.

I'd kill to have a MaCreery at Carlton, but they're not really equivalents. The closest we have to what he does is Cinc when he played forward, and that worked pretty bloody well til Voss ****ed with it.

 

[DangerousD]

Watched Giants V Dockers, both teams looked real good, both have speed and move the ball quick

 

[DangerousD]

Daniel’s deserves a Crows style offer Betts got, if he played at a Vic club, his name would be everywhere.

He would transform us

 

[Wickzki]

Thoughts on Lachlan Gollant?

A little Birdy told me he's quite prominent.

Agree

Someone mentioned Voss wants cotts to be a mcreery type but I can’t see that happening.

Grow his hair over the off season and get him a sleeve tatt, he’d be on his way.
