Ignoring Hawks?
100% agree, Smithers is now clearly considerably worse than he once was, but for the longest time Maffew treated him as a senior lock
Hopefully he’s relegated to permanent depth now

Consistency comes with experience ....both in games & maturity
From yesterday's game:
Worrell - 28 games
Nankervis - 22 games
Keane - 30 games
Michalanney - 43 games
Bond - 5 games
Taylor - 7 games
Curtin - 5 games
That's 30% of our squad yesterday, who are still learning more mentally, how to concentrate for an entire game
Curtin got caught out ball watching twice ....that won't happen with more experience ....but youth still cost you games

No, they're playing terrific footy .....pity Mitchell will be sacked, given all rebuild Coaches don't last

Free the Colonel!
Worrell not having more AFL experience is on us. We refused to play him.
Nank also to a lesser extent.
Yeah should've dropped Doedee

I personally never said that - so can't speak to it. Whats crazy to me is how Mitchell has turned around the Hawks in 2 years and has a better winning record than Mathew Nicks.
Didn't you have us finishing 5th and making the finals in 2024 in the ladder predicting thread? Just curious as to why if we were so young?

Worrell has repeatedly said in interviews, he wasn't ready for the AFL requirements
The hamstring early season last year, and arm this year, have held Worrell back ....not the Coaches

I had us making finals, yes ......if you drag up my posts, it was always premised on having a normal injury run with this youth
I have always believed we have a good list ...each year, additional talent will be layered over this list
Also in a couple of years, injuries won't impact us as much .....but it's always who gets injured
Milera, as that running back with elite skills and ability to break lines ....was IMO our biggest loss
Nankervis, can do it in the future, and Smith played like his age suggests .....so we really missed that bounce off HB
Every Club has made that a priority ....Nick Martin at ESS ....Zorko from Mid to HB for BRIS
The gameplan early was premised on no Murray, and Keane was an unknown entity, who has surprised everyone

Absolutely we should have.

I think if you do your homework .....this coincided with all the negativity on HAW performances
HAW picked up as soon as Day returned ....which gave Newcombe a shot in the arm, given his early season form was worse than terrible
Dear has replaced Lewis admirably ....but Lewis is injury prone anyway
He's become a really good footballer.
How was that "don't argue" on Bont? Hah, nice.
Minimizing his awful disposals as well.
In hindsight, absolutely. That's not how it works though so hard to hold people to account that can't see into the future. Maybe we should invest in a better crystal ball?
We had a strong team to start the year and we ****ed it. Plain and simple. Shouldn't take you 5 rounds to get going.

He played the back half of ‘22 clearly injury and was only rested for the last 3 games. It was obvious at the time keeping a hampered Doedee playing was pointless long term, especially with Worrell tearing up the SANFL. A clear example of what not to do early in a rebuild.

I hope you don't gamble .....terrible waste of funds
Coincide with Nicks changing his shit "revolutionary" game plan after the first 5 weeks........
Mitchell has also made and admitted to mistakes and then adjusted for it.
Compare that to our player blaming coach.

Move on ....it's boring
Not sure the relevance? Name a rebuild coach that performed and got sacked
