Sorry my mistake, not puritan, you’re like the taliban …Whatever, rather be that than a shit bloke. And Dimma was that.
Its life mate, get over it. Sometimes the best blowjobs you ever get come from the biggest bitch in the room. When those cases happen, just lay back and enjoy the ride - but don't fool yourself into marrying her for life.

The style of footy we're seeing is a result of not having the players needed to execute the game plan that Yze wants us to play.Game plan is dire as they come.
1. Kick in short
2. Long kick down the line
3 ???
4. Profit
Best case we get a boundary throw in on the wing. More likely case is an intercept mark or opposition sharks it at ground level.
Most boring football to watch. Rather get pumped by 90 points every game and show some dash and dare than this absolute tripe.
Hard to be an Elite coach in your first season? Not many would be.Perhaps.
But by default of your own words, you are saying that he is not one of the "Best Coaches".
Don't we want "Elite" coaches? I don't think anyone is stating to sack him. I'm certainly not. I would ride his contract (still don't know the length of ?), UNLESS one of these fabled "Best Coaches" became available. If one did come available and he was still tracking the same we see right now? I would likely make the brutal call and move on from him to get the guy we want
Mate some valid points , but your missing the big picture , were is the heat and accountability on the footy department running the show. Livingstone and Blair all under Gale shouldn't escape criticism. There last 2 seasons they haven't seen the writing on the wall , standards dropped, short cut appointments etc. Easy to blame Meehan , but who appointed him. Add to that poor recruitment it was either one Taranto or Hooper not both and giving away so many picks. Still puzzling why Balme was told this is your last year and wanted to stay on. We need his calm head and experience even as part timeWe have no gameplan.
We have no system to move the ball
We have no system in how/where to kick inside 50
We have no system to force turnover
We have no defensive system
What has hurt us as much as the injuries is that the support coaches like Rutten and Teague had contracts that we decided not to pay out, so essentially Adem moves into Hardwicks bed and had no ability to make his own bed with his own coaches.
This off season will be huge. If we dont allow Adem to higher his own coaches to instruct the list his way completely we will be ****ed.
The good, it is fixable and all Adem needs to show me next year, with a full preseason with his coaches is his method and if it stacks up. if it does not, I will be happy to allow him time to readjust to see if he is a senior coach.
Alot of the blame for this mess, outside of injury should be on the admin of the club that allowed this scenario to happen. Allowed the off season from hell to be done, that broke half our list, allowed Rutten and Teague to be allowed to much of a say in how things should be done and Adem being to polite to push back and do it his way.
I guess selling bricks was more important.
Just my random thoughts
Hopefully the club put the right assistant coaches around Adem. Gotta make changes in that area.
teague and rutten willHopefully the club put the right assistant coaches around Adem. Gotta make changes in that area.
Probably get some Melbourne spuds like Strawbs O'Dwyer.Hopefully the club put the right assistant coaches around Adem. Gotta make changes in that area.
Baker moved in 2022.When he came in he made some big moves:
Baker, our best defensive BP went to midfield.
Bolton our quickest midfielder went forward.
An aging Dusty went from predominantly forward to midfield.
Why?! We had already tried and tested this. I was hoping he would just try this for a few weeks before he realized the error of his ways and then put them back in their best positions. But no, he continues to persist with this dumb shit.
Wouldn’t surprise if he lobs at crows after they tip the joint upside downRutten is doing decent job with our backline
F**k I hope so.are rutten and teague out of contract this year
Doesn't post on saturday mornings as he's too busy door-knocking and selling bibles...Oh god, here goes the puritan amongst us again…
This is so true...At the risk of sounding like a wan.er…again.
My view is the there’s only one thing that separates a Good Coach from a Very Good Coach and that’s
Very good players.
They play their role exactly how their asked, they are exactly where their teammates expect them to be and there’s alotve effort in outve possesion work to give their teammates a better opportunity and they win their position.
Our Spine has been rubbish all year and haven’t had continuity with games and lineups, asking inexperienced players to play roles and compete against oppo who are very good and established in their positions.
It’d be a lot easier to judge Yze when he’s had at least 90% of his strongest Spine playing at least 5 games together.
We’re getting closer to that coming into the back end of the season now.
The style of footy we're seeing is a result of not having the players needed to execute the game plan that Yze wants us to play.
Our best midfielders and key forwards have been sitting in the stands most of the season and in Baltas case when he returned from injury he was forced to go back into the back line.
For the first half against Carlton we were able to play the style of game that Yze wants us to play, strong contested footy and our team defensive structure was very good. Unfortunately it fell away in the 3rd quarter when Carlton got on top.
If we can keep our better players on the park for the rest of the year we will start to see more consistency in terms of playing the way Yze wants.
