Preview Changes v Geelong, Sun 14 April 1:00pm at VicGovFundedKardinia Park [Zurhaar (calf)/Shiels (GS)/KDaws (ankle)/Stevo OUT; Sellers/Big/Laz/Drury IN]

[northbergs]

Does Clarko need to resort to some old school tough love on the training track to get some competitive mongrel in this lot?

Boxing sessions, repetitive one-on-one contested ball drills, Greco-Roman wrestling. None of this new age molly coddling and education about a game plan and ‘searching for evidence’ - just instil the bloody will to win!

The will to win is great, but once you know this Geelong team has more All-Australian jumpers (24) than we'll have players (23), then you realise that Greco-Roman wrestling won't help much this week.

Okay boys. New game plan this week. 15 three minute rounds instead of 4 quarters. Remember to stay on your feet, we may be in front on points. Assistants, grab a towel each incase we have to throw them in. Okay.

Folks need to understand this is effectively week 5 of a full rebuild.

2016 - start cut the 4
2018 - reset over produce and top up
2019 - reset sack Brad
2020 - reset sack Shaw &Hub disaster
2021 - reset Noble & Roos
Early 2022 - reset Lose Roos
Late 2022 - reset Clarko
2023 - Semi reset - lose Clarko have Ratts
2024 - here we are

If we have 24 months of one voice without hitting the f***ing reset button we will be in a much different position to where we are now.

What a f*** horrid period.

We've delisted something like 70 players across that time too.

 

[DuckYeah]

We win this. I have a feeling. In the cockles.. that this week, we will see a W. Dont know why, just think it will happen.

I had that feeling on my cockles every week until I went to the doctor and had them removed. Doc said they were over active

Mods maybe sticky this? Not saying we shouldn’t criticise the club, players, coaches - we can and should - but context is also good to bear in mind.

The comp is due to for an upset. Always an upset here n there. I think it happens this week.

 

[Horizons_00]

Tbh the tough game style from Shaw was ****ing electric (when we won of course). I remember that port game after the worst scoring game against Geelong. We destroyed them and bbb kicked like 10? The chase down tackles and pressure was off the charts

Teams actually feared coming up against us because they know they would be sore and battered

Bloody yes please bring that back. Now we play like a bunch of sissies

because of what happened afterwards, people forget this period. Team was breathing fire and bullying sides. Hasn't fired a shot since.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Tom Stewart will take 40 marks.

I’d rather have a persona of intimidation than northball tbh

We don’t have the cattle to do northball…. Yet

Do you think we have the cattle to do any intimidation?

Those people are gone.

End of 19 was Shaw running mostly Brads structure with the players having the freedom to act physically where they wanted.

It produced mixed results.

There is also no way back to that without bringing in a bunch of shit trucks at the end of the year.

We don't have the cattle to do either. It's the least physical footy team I've seen pull on the jumper. By a ****en mile.

 

[Harris 10]

We can attack the footy and be as hard as ever, but if we keep turning the ball over by hand and foot then we’ll continue to get smashed every week.

We've delisted something like 70 players across that time too.
