could clearly coach a midfield.

Corey hasn't stepped up. With or without Longmuir, we desperately need a seasoned coach taking up that role.

Garlick has some culling to do

 

[wakojako]

While I agree with giving him the year to see what he has got, I think the writing is on the wall. As a coach if you struggle to think on the spot, adapt, innovate and play with a little dare, you won't get far. That's why I think his career is doomed. Even if we make a late surge during the season he will still be the same coach.

Maybe, but IMO Mundy functioned as an on field coach, as well as a brilliant player. That's what we're missing most.

The game has gone past him. There will be no surge

What odds for first sentence in the presser:

“It all starts in the contest”

It's borderline treason to say because I love the great man and you're right highlighting that he was a good leader on field...but Mundy was a liability many times last season, defensively and even offensively when his kicking started to go.

But tbf now we have Serong trying to pick up the pieces with not much else around him.

I am 100% certain he has no idea. I was calling plays from my seat before they happened because it was so obvious what was going to transpire. If some bum like myself can see it, how on earth can't the coach? For example, Treloar waiting on the outer while our players were sucked in.

Aish and Hughes were an abomination. I sit dead centre on the wing about 20 rows up and watched them very closely and they are poorly coached. Baker and Williams gave them a masterclass. I called Williams goals before they happened. The Dogs would hold their ground, and our wings would suck up into no-man's land between their opponent and the congestion. Hughes was clearly doing it under instruction as he kept looking back. He wasn't losing his man, he was actively allowing Baker to sit off the play waiting for the ball to spill out. Clearly told to be another body in a stoppage.

The kick ins. Good grief. Long bomb, Bulldogs punch forward to white jumpers. No leading, no movement, no idea. On the flipside, can't stop a Bulldogs kick in from waltzing up the field.

Utter refusal to play all of Sturt, Jackson, Amiss together. One was always on the bench and always four smalls (Banfield plays like a small, don't care about his height).

Our forwards actively all sprint into the forward line into the same spot to create congestion. It's mind boggling to watch. There was another moment when we caused a turnover and looking upfield Amiss has gone bang, 5 metres in front and the players ignore him and push it wide for a rushed snap from the boundary. Blame the players? Well I blame the coach as well. Then he subs Amiss out (don't know if he was injured, I hope not).

Our team is very young and I don't expect them to be very good. But the way it is unfolding is alarming. Coach has to go as we need someone to teach the young players properly.

As someone who is at most home games, I agree. The way we position ourselves is terrible. It's like we actively try to deny ourselves space.

Our mids constantly get sucked into the contest like it's Auskick.

We aren't quick but we constantly put ourselves out of position, giving the oppo a head start on the spread

I agree with you, but it also felt at times that Mundy could help the mids reset and go again, start consistently winning clearances. We never got a reset tonight. Serong tried his guts out, but it was a losing battle

 

[EastcoastDocker]

How Adelaide beat us in preseason has basically repeated itself over and over with no adjustments.

One gets the feeling JLo is the worst of cuddles Connolly and mark Harvey combined

 

[Lach72]

I whinged about Mundy last year.

I’d take a kg of his sweat atm

I feel like O'Meara was meant to be that reset button and that's turned out to be an incredible miscalculation.

today club boasting about membership numbers....members need to make a stand and vote with their wallets or else NOTHING will ever change

Funnily enough the last time we hit a club membership record we completely tanked that season iirc. 2016.

We need to drop him to make him work for a game

 

[Deathly]

How'd the presser go? Any emotion or anger or was he just sticking to the same script?

 

[King Tenz]

We need to drop him to make him work for a game

Maybe they don't want to drop him because he's in the leadership group? Because clearly JOM should've been dropped instead of Brodie a few games ago.

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

Pressers so boring the broadcasters don't even bother showing him.

 

[wakojako]

How'd the presser go? Any emotion or anger or was he just sticking to the same script?

Memorable quotes from the presser:
"We tried too hard to win and got exposed"
and
"We need better method in the contest and stop bombing it long"
I'm pretty sure he winked at the assistant after he said that.

Garlick has some culling to do

Garlick will likely shoot through to the AFL General Manager of Football position before the season is out.

 

[Docker82]

Should be told to not bother showing up Monday.

 

[nurries]

Garlick will likely shoot through to the AFL General Manager of Football position before the season is out.

Would you blame him? Get out of this shit show

 

[Docker82]

Garlick will likely shoot through to the AFL General Manager of Football position before the season is out.

Lol. He’s guaranteed not to because Sumich said he would.

 

[Midnite65]

The sign of a good coaching staff should be levels of improvement across the board. Apart from Serong and Darcy everyone of our players has regressed from what they have shown the last two years.

 

[freo1997]

Hate Jlo shifting the blame seemingly on other lines coaches and the players.

Your team, your gameplan and I think you should start owning that. This gameplan suited units like Acres, Logue and Lobb down the line. They ****ed off cause they weren’t rated…time to adjust.
