‘s interview with Duffield today he seemed to be saying that it’s not JL’s game plan that’s the problem, it’s the players failure to implement it correctly.

Not sure the players or fans see it that way.

Simon Garlick must have bought exactly what JL would be saying to him, hook, line, and sinker. We've seen JL point fingers at the players almost every single time after a loss.

It ain't all on the players, never has been.

 

[Madas]

yep and us recruiting Luke Jackson would tempt him to go elsewhere even more where he can be top dog. Getting LJ always made me super fearful this would cause us to lose Darcy. It'll be another one of those things Freo is laughed about in years to come when he dominates at Geelong.

Maybe but I don’t think so

Honestly reckon a number one ruck would be incredibly grateful for someone who can burden some of the load . They are expected to do a power of work .

I think they are very different players and Darcy will always be top dog in the ruck department

They work very well taking turns resting forward .
Hope like hell we keep Darcy for at least 2-3 more years

After that the goose is cooked so who cares anyway.

Hi what you guys think of Ross McQueen coach of east perth royals. How he will be as assistant coach for us? Does rule allow to accept a higher level job by breaking contract? He is contracted until 2024.

I wouldn't be against it.... It's a pathway a fair amount of people have taken.

I know a few SANFL premiership coaches that got picked-up by AFL sides and become assistant coaches.

Nathan Bassett got premierships in the SANFL for Norwood in 2012-3. He eventually ended up on ports coaching staff.

Martin matter won SANFL flags for Sturt in 2016-7. Ended up as a crows coaching staff member.

Josh Carr was ports assistant coach in 2011-15. Got North Adelaide to a flag in the SANFL on 2018, leaves them at the end of 2019. Becomes a staff member at the dockers in 2019-21.

Even the coach that won a flag in the SANFL at Woodville west torrens in 2011, eventually became an assistant coach at the crows

 

[Freomaniac]

Gold Coast won’t make finals.
Their season just as bad as Fremantle the past month.

From next season onwards, gold coast along with other non Vic sides like swans and GWS will be fighting for those 5th to 8th spots in the finals.

 

[Freomaniac]

Mundy and Brodie did, you don’t need defensive effort if you’re winning the football

So why isn't Broadie playing when he is fit?

You can't say lack of experience in the midfield when there is Fyfe, Broadie, Brayshaw and Serong in the middle

Is Longmuir a better coach then Dew, i suggest not

Sick of losing first quarters etc from lack of effort and intent with no change of game plan/style ie why wait to bring on Worner at the 20 min mark of the third when Walker was putting in a shocker, sorry but lets call a spade a spade

 

[King Tenz]

So why isn't Broadie playing when he is fit?

Because he's too slow, pair him up with O'Meara and it's even worse.

 

[Freomaniac]

David Mundy wasn't exactly a gut runner himself.

Bloke would get 20-25 disposals in a game and contributes to the team.

 

[King Tenz]

Somehow these 2 blokes appear to be just as slow if not more slower then Mundy, it's bizarre.

 

[Freomaniac]

Jaeger O Meara has some leeway. He has had a history of injuries. But he can still be a solid inside mid or forward flanker.

Broadie played 25 games for the suns for 5 seasons, he was struggling to get 18-20 disposals a game. Had that awesome season in 2022 averaging like 27 disposals a game.

Now he is back to his sun's form.

I agree both are slow.

But if your gonna play both in the best 23, one has to play in the middle, the other on a forward flank

It’s JLs job to teach the players how to implement the gameplan…

The gameplan that every pundit in the afl has identified of moving it slow out of the backline and switching it whenever possible. There is something to be said to be the guys playing the game differently but all the top teams moved away from that gameplan in around 2019. Jlo is trying to copy a gameplan that doesn’t work any more and what’s worse is apparently he can’t teach the players this simple gameplan.

 

[Belnakor]

Hardwick was never coming here.

Dockers were lucky to get Ross Lyon back at the end of 2011

I think you undersell us from a financial perspective. Outside of the big Victorian clubs and west coast we have a lot to offer. A lot more than the suns. Football department spend. Facilities etc.

We offer Hardwick a great offer we could easily snake him from GC. Hardwick going to GC is basically a retirement plan.

Justin Longmuir couldn't organise a root in Burke's backyard LoL

You might have a point there. We are not like Port Adelaide of 2008-12 losing 2 or 3 million dollars a year.

Dockers made a profit last year too. Our facilities are not bad. We are just poorly run.

But I'm gonna be realistic. If Justin Longmuir gets sacked, our recruiting net won't be massive or wide.

Again.... It will be realistic. Very likely a WA bloke again, possibly an ex eagles player with experience. Not Peter sumich.

Some one from the Swans coaching staff like Don Pyke or Dean Cox.

Maybe another ex docker like Josh Carr. Maybe even a Jarrad Scholfield who is a former dockers and eagles player.

People talk up Adam Yze and Scott Burns for the last 4 or 5 years.

Again.... I would like Ken Hinkley if it means 3 or 4 finals wins in a 10 year period

 

[freo1997]

Just looking at the run home..there’s a few thrashing’s on the way.

 

[kp junior]

Watching that On The Couch clip, they make an interesting point about Freo failing to take advantage of a dominant ruckman. The only period it worked for us was when we had the giant midfield of Fyfe, Mandy, Barlow, Crowley at the core.
That group probably would have done even better with the 6,6,6 rule.
Perhaps the only way to take advantage of winning the taps is a monster midfield. So start planning that now. Play Brodie, and keep blooding Erasmus and Johnson. Plus move Young or Chapman to the mids asap.
That means Brayshaw to the wing, and Serong rotating forward and mid.

Give the conspiracy theory a rest, it's normal for any organisation to make their public comments consistent. It's PR 101.

It's easy to criticise when things aren't going right, even though there is plenty of counter evidence.

Also, I don't think they're blaming the players, it's not about blame, it's just observing what happened, it's you and others choosing to interpret it as blame. It's about identifying the issue honestly and improving as a result.

If a player has a role, and they literally fail to execute their role, not because they weren't physically capable, but through their decision making, then the player has failed to hold up their end of the bargain. There is plenty of evidence from recent games that players have failed to execute their role in this way.

This is what they're talking about, lack of composure in the moment to stick to task.

If all the players play their role well and the team is competitive but still lose, then either 1) the other team is just better, or 2) the plan was wrong.
The coach takes the heat most when it's #2. If the players have failed to execute the plan despite being capable of doing so, then they need to held accountable.

We had many passengers out there, Johnson, Erasmus, Walker, and we had guys that made a tiny contribution in Switta, Amiss, Treacy, Jackson. How might the game have looked if our guys took their chances? How does the game flow if we kick those two goals in the first quarter and they don't get the two end to end goals on the back of our failure to convert?

I can think of four examples where we had a clear path to score, we failed to do so, then they scored. No wonder they dropped their bundle.

 

[TheMcManusNose]

Yeah exactly.

That excuse works for the first 18 months or so you're with a team. Most of these guys are in year 3-4 with JL now.

If they simply can't do what he's asking well it's easier to change 1 than it is to change 22.

What about Nigel Lappin ? 6 premiership in total.3 as a player and 3 as an assistant coach.

Surely the likes of Chapman, Young, Jackson are earmarked for midfield. Young and Chapman are far too good to be playing defensively. Chapman and Johnson would be tall, classy silky bulls.

For the love of everything, Clark to the wing! Too bad if he’s liking half back, he’s the perfect winger. Absolutely stupid not to.

 

[blue shark]

Yes but Walker jogging around is poor coaching. Walker has only two good traits, his speed and his willingness to seemingly keep on attacking regardless of how many times he got holding the ball. Nows hes gone purely defensive he has no traits at all. Thats bad coaching.

Sounds radical, no it makes sense.
First round picks start in the flanks and gradually get midfield minutes.
Massive preseasons to bulk up, strong
Core. Take advantage of a dominant
ruck, take the game on at HB.
