Autopsy Dogs apparently NOT out coached again... but still find a way to lose 78 v 73

[doggies ftw]

I’ll hold my judgement until we actually know what happens, and I agree with AJ coming in because he’s a pressure monster and we need that but geez if West gets the flick over VDM that’s just honestly not acceptable, 13 PAs each, 5 tackles to 1!!! 2 tackles I50 to 1, and West hit the scoreboard.

Aaand he played half a game?

You just could not make a case to make that decision fairly and stand by it, but again let’s see what happens tonight first

Duryea over Cleary and VDM over West would be a proper laugh

Where is the suggestion that West should be omitted coming from?

I fully agree VDM should be out before West every day of the week.

One thing the statistics do not show though is one of West's major weaknesses. When contesting 1 v 1 he often tries bodying first and not attacking the ball.

Saw 4 times in Ballarat where not only his opponent won the ball but West ended up goal side leaving his opponent free access to set up an attack from defence. If West is to make it as a consistent AFL player it is something he has to fix or no matter the coach he will always be at risk of being dropped as releasing pressure in your forward line is as big as losing contested footy these days.

That’s a pretty minor tweak though - his attack on the ball & man is pretty much unmatched in our side bar a couple, that should be harnessed and used to our strength but it seems we feel it’s easier to just drop him rather than work with him on his deficiencies

Not sure it is a minor tweak. Had it in every AFL game he has played and still has not adjusted.

Hope he makes it as for a 10 to 15 minute period he does exactly as you say. His fisrt 10 minutes last week were exceptional, after that went back to form. Must do it for much longer to be a regular best 22

Are the coaches seeing it?

I feel like it’s just an adjustment he needs to make and will learn with experience when to go the ball and when the man, honestly I wouldn’t want to take it out of his game completely - you need a few guys who opposition wouldn’t wanna come up against and he’s one of them, because if you give him a chance he’ll smash you.

It’s a positive for mine, but get where you’re coming from - there’s a fine balance there. Again though that’s just an experience thing for mine and he’ll never get it right going from VFL to AFL to sub every week.

His upside is high and to be honest his downside is not much lower than some of the crap where rolling through that spot, he just plays for mine but clearly the coaches see it differently.

VDM runs harder, West is harder at the contest.
Arty Jones does work hard as well so if he's in, it really depends on what we're trying to do.

Though I am not sure on his upside he is certainly a better prospect than VDM, Mc Combe,.and Garcia at a minimum and am happy if we put some time into him

Unfortunately he is not a wingman where we have a very large void

According to the website Dom Milesi does a bit combined with recruiting

Is Dom in the coaching box on match day?

I thought it was Webb since Lade come in.

Would be great to get to the bottom of this and know what other teams do. I assumed this would be a full time job
