BLOODY GOOD COACH!

 

[gtrxuone]

I don’t think they have gone backwards. They have got 10-20 games into kids like Soligo, Fog, Thilthorpe, Michalenny, Nankervis, Bond, Dowling, Berry, Taylor, Cook and Borlase. Last year they were propped up by a SENSATIONAL year from Tex and Matt Crouch. Sure their results don’t read as they did last year, but progress ain’t linear.

Could see them all clicking next year with Tex gone and Crouch gone. Another top end talent or Oliver, add a senior bloke from GWS and push one of the above into the midfield mix, they tracking alright.

This is why good teams are able to blood kids in while winning games off the back of senior players. What we should be doing with Jackson, Lorenz and have done with Jones and Sinn.

Good post RT

Nicks will probably go before Ken.

 

[Windy Cindy]

We lose to these clowns in 3 weeks and he should walk immediately.. the booing will be feral.

They are rubbish.

 

[Cam1870]

Overrated. A few on this board had as the second coming of Carey last week. Pfft.

Some 1st draft picks are JHFs. And some are Tilthorpes.

 

[Us against the rest]

Wow these Crow flogs are such an ungrateful fickle mob, attacking poor Nicks.

Probably because we compare him to our forwards which is a low bar apart from Georgiades.

But are their young players any good?

 

[Ford Fairlane]

We are definitely better than the Crom and I will always take great pleasure in their suffering.

Lol you took great pleasure in their suffering when they were better than us

Spoiler

Me too

Finals not far away now.
Freo, Bulldogs & Hawks scary.

Very true, at least we are all united behind Ken

He’s a beast apparently.. lol

Rowie just said their midfielders are plodders and midfields win premierships.

Goes back to their birth in a court room Ford. Ha.

A scary Showdown coming up for Ken, should be a good 50-50 game.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Boo Hawthorn. Giving up two goals at the end.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Ahh we hated them before they were born, as we would any Basheer-inspired Frankenstein creation.

Turn up the Radio!

How’s Lindy?
Hope she’s had her meds….

Nah. Just judge him on what you see. Has nothing to do with our forwards.

 

[FishingRick04]

We've consistently seen across Hinkley's tenure that the answer to that question is no.

That’s not true. You’re confusing H&A form with finals form

 

[PAFC66]

We probably have to win every game to make it now.

 

[PAFC66]

I agree but we have this conscious bias because we are starving for KPP.
We went hard on mids and they went hard on KPP and it shows.
