We were being belted from the start of the game, so yeah.

No we weren't, it wasn’t until the 17th minute mark they got 2 goals up, so nah.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

I might be looking too deep in to it, but the "tail wagging the dog" syndrome that I thought was going away appears to still be there.

Yeah. I’m starting to worry that either there hasn’t been a culture shift at all, and/or the board has just selected clones of the previous regime.

 

[hey shorty]

We were getting belted around the ball, it was sheer luck we held on as long as we did.

So yeah

 

[bomo]

The players don't create a game plan, thats on the coaches

If it was coach inspired, we need a new coaching panel. If it was player inspired we need a different mix of players.

1.5 - 5.3, 6 scoring shots to 8. That’s not a belting and you’re adapting your story to back the coaches in.

 

[Alwaysacrow]

Let's try something? How about...

B Laird - Frampton - Doedee
HB Jones - McAsey - Smith
C Dawson - Schoenberg - Sholl
HF McHenry - Butts - Rowe
F Sloane - Murray - Gollant
R Himmelberg - Rachele - Pedlar

I Cook - Hinge - Hately - Keays

That's either a crazy selection or a "Blight" manoeuvre. It won't happen anyway but it would be interesting

Im not 'backing them in'.

Both players and coaches need to take their share of the blame. You're just having one of those nights where you wanna argue.

Every player wants to play every week, so yes it's all about the selectors not picking them.

Burns just said this though about Sloane
"It depends. Will he put his hand up to play? If it's yes, he'll play".
So it's not about the selectors picking him, he is saying it is up to Sloane

And your having one of those nights where you come off as a condescending hypocrite.

You replied to my original post, I don’t agree with your point, you keep replying and yet it’s me who is having one of those nights that wants to argue? You could stop replying at any time.

If he puts his hand up to play with a broken leg, is it still up to Sloane ?

I'd say it's a mixed bag. There appears to have been an improvement in player happiness and player retention. The selection policies haven't changed at all though. Like Pyke's regime, Nicks and co are as conservative as they can possibly be and just covering their own arses. It's naked self interest.

Wont be long before people start turning on Burgo

At this stage there’s no difference at all. Pyke was loved by the players until he turned on them because they kept failing him. Nicks hasn’t been under performance pressure yet, he’s just as likely to alienate the players when he realises they’re in the process of ending his senior coaching career. May not too, but we haven’t seen him under sustained pressure yet.

Doubtful. I'm probably the most cynical bastard on this forum and I'm not turning on Burgo.

 

[1970crow]

See

He does this when he can’t mount a reasonable argument to support his belief. One issue is he’s a massive Sloane fan and he can’t mount any counter-arguments, so does what he’s doing abs then accuses others. He’s done this a lot.

 

[maxlilly]

If he puts his hand up to play with a broken leg, is it still up to Sloane ?

It looks like it

 

[Stepover]

Sounded like he's a chance but to be honest I'd bring Berry in before him on the proviso he will see a reasonable amount of midfield minutes.
From the sound of it it's going to perhaps hinge on Sloane putting his hand up, Laird it sounded like is a given in.

Berry was very good in the SANFL on Sat.

No they ****ing won't, from Wheel of Fortune to Catchphrase, everyone on this board respects Australias premier gameshow host

 

[spenze]

Knew you liked your gameshows...probably leave work early so you can be home for 5.30

 

[Jirkago75]

We are not unlike what GWS and Gold Coast were in 2011/2012 (without the help of lots of high draft picks). We will get there eventually.

Think your right. Maybe we are expecting too much from this young team. It sure is frustrating to watch though

 

[Thetrader15]

Burns asked if Sloane not at full fitness is better than playing a younger player at full fitness.

"It depends. Will he put his hand up to play? If it's yes, he'll play".

Ugh.

Also not enough experience in the forward line...but we wouldn't put Sloane up there would we!
