First post meltdown. Welcome aboard mateNo Acres? Get ******
Mate I couldn't have said it better myself.
Not only That, but the selections over the last 2 years indeed have be abysmal for me. Players selected with hardly any form in the reserves and players not being dropped for 4 or bad performances.
The list goes on. Best thing that happened for us is Simon coming in and shaking the place up. Richo is one lucky man signing that contract as on match days he is tactically lacking and I've been saying this for the last 2 or 3 years. Players love him due to his style as it seems 'soft' as quoted by our former captain.
I don't buy into this theory. When I look at Clarko there is nothing soft about him or the way he approaches the game same cab be said for Longmire or even Ross Lyon. I think we 'cuddle' our players too much. The coach doesn't need to spray them, but the cold hard truths need to be said. What I found interesting from Roo was how we analysed the game etc. It's was something along the lines of it's okay boys let's put that behind us and move forward. He said it on 360. Pretty strong words from one of our best ever players.It’s 2018. Players don’t respond to ‘hard’ coaches anymore. It’s about building relationships with the players, empowering them to be better instead of getting angry when they make a mistake. Yes, a rocket is sometimes necessary but not all the time.
It’s a very different landscape now than back in the 2000s.

We will never find out the truth about the retirements of Roo and Montagna.I don't buy into this theory.

this. which is pretty impressive for a kid, normally it's the other way aroundI reckon he's a last quarter specialist, consistently has as many touches in the last quarter as he does in the first three.
I think everyone overestimated the leadership in the group with Roo & Joey out of the team. Hindsight is a great thing. Would have probably been a difference even of they had stayed on in a mentoring role at training, etc for this seasonWe will never find out the truth about the retirements of Roo and Montagna.
Roo's move was the right one going what was said about his head knocks.
Montagna was most probably forced into retirement.
The thing is if our coach knew we had a leadership problem - why didn't they act last year to bring in a true leader - Geary is trying his best but really is not the leader we need - this why during the draft we should go all out for Shiel or Coniglio who are both free agents next year or even attempt to get Kelly again. One will surely move - just get it done.
You say this but one of the most consistent things said about Richo, especially from players, is that he is extremely honest and upfront with them.I don't buy into this theory.

Maybe so. But what's their version of honesty?You say this but one of the most consistent things said about Richo, especially from players, is that he is extremely honest and upfront with them.

We don't have a system or a structure, yet we beat Gold Coast, Melbourne, and Carlton in a month?Every team has injuries. You back the system and not the personel. We don't have a system to back and that's why when we have 2 injuries we turn into a rabble.

We beat Carlton because firstly they were terrible and dare I say it lost their structure after qtr time prob as a result of Kruzer going down but you adapt or die.Fmd does every thread have to be about Richo?
