AFLW 2024 - Round 10 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Yes but it wasn’t really through the forwards that we won. It was a structure thing and a by in of every player. If we lost yesterday it would be easy to say our talls only got us one goal and one tackle between them. That’s not counting Owen as a tall as I think he is a mid range player.
Nar we can cover the missing forward in other ways.
Well it depends who you think will have a bigger impact. Windhanger as a forward replacing butler or windhanger as a maybe tagging mid replacing bytel. I remember windhanger tagging last year so I’d rather that move. I’m biased though because I’m not a bytel fan.
I didn't say put him forward either. I said they can figure something else out.
Bytel at least 6 as medi sub.
Full-ground defence. Their entries were ordinary. Either out wide and shallow, or bombed long to the top of the square where we took care of business.
I'm one of the skeptical ones who thought the whole appointment process was a shambles, but if you were on level three yesterday, you'd have to concede that the Ross supporters have been vindicated. It won't be all smooth sailing, and I still don't expect us to make finals this year, but our structure was a million miles in front of anything I've seen for a decade.
The thing that gets me is there is no actual clear definition of what decent is.
True, Ross told the story on footy classified
I thought it was a great appointment for the reasons you saw yesterday. That side is going to lose games because it isn’t a great side but it wont be due to structures. I remember watching the tigers from level 3 at etihad and couldn’t believe how good their structures were and thinking how can any side break those structures. They had at the time a much better side than we do now but it show structures can win games you shouldn’t win.
You have to think about both now and later. Future planning is in all corporate planning.
Yep but it doesn’t have to be a coaching succession plan. Hardly any club does it. Not sure Lyon would be type to worry about that. He seems a very confident man so I’m guessing he is thinking success into the future not worrying about getting our next coach ready.
Couldn't agree more with this post.
We all think differently. I can’t change what I said about billings before he was injured so I’m not changing now. I’m just about 180 degrees the other way. Dal whilst a much better player than billings grew unbelievably under lyin and he has basically said he credits Lyon for his successful career. Anyway unfortunately for billings he will be a long way behind the 8 ball when he is back so he may not get time this year to prove much at all.
