Coach Fages and the coaching group

[p4p1]

Surprised there's anything in there worth protecting

There isn’t. That’s why the joke is on him.

They've taught the side to play chaos as well as controlled - credit to the coaches - this side is primed.

David King no doubt would think Scott whilst his team lost, brained Fages, because you know you can win but still get beaten in the coaches box.

Get. A. Life. Enjoy a positive analysis of Fages, and a great win and leave the flogging horse at home.

It's hard not to think something's kicked in isn't it.

Remember the old down the line from every defensive stoppage ?

That's gone out the window. You can see our defenders looking for offensive options every time they get it. Obviously you need the cattle to implement it and your midfielders to provide the options.

Zorko cops lots for the defensive aspects of his game but overall what he does wins you games. And that's the mindset that's got us where we are this year.

Have to play with risk to get through modern defences.

It makes me super nervous and it can look really bad when you stuff it up, but overall we've got so much more out of being daring with our ball movement and playing on instinct rather than going long and slow down the line this finals series.

Absolutely.

And it's done wonders for the confidence of many players .

If anyone had told me 2 years ago Froggy would do what he did yesterday in a cut throat prelim. I would've had them certified.

Just goes to show what some players could have under the bonnet given the right mindset.

Ripper thread from Ricky Mangidis who runs the Shinboner website, an excellent place for analysis, on how we managed to break through the Geelong team defence in the third quarter:

...but I thought the narrative was that our coaching guys were clueless nuffies who are strategically challenged and we need to go all in on Chris Scott 'cause he is the strategy genius that we need..

or is that the Media nuffies with their Big Footy follower nuffies who are clueless and challenged?

Combination of both.

If something works and you win you're a master tactician. If you lose and do nothing or what you do doesn't work you're clueless.

The funny thing is what you do might work and you still lose the game in which case you're still clueless.

What's unknown is what would've happened if you had or hadn't done something.

Which is why we have genius analysts in the media to explain why we did or didn't win and what we should've done if we didn't.
