We wanted to expose the Saints to two GF's without winning any just to square up the charity we afforded them in 1966. We never forget!Make that two in sixty something years. Beating St Kilda in a grand final means nothing at the end of the day.
Errr talking about Mason Coxs big games in the month. Sorry you missed that

You'll be fine - it's why you bank wins early. Longmire will find a way out of this funkSo anyway, we’re all still thinking that the Swans are better than both of these two sides, right?
…right??
Coming from "do not put words in my mouth!" - all you needed to say was "that doesn't usually end well" to finish off your own comedic riposte.My "defence"
Wow you have a very inflated sense of self importance - am I on trial or something? Are you the judge?
Could've done better but it's not Voss missing shots on goal or making dumb decisions by foot.
I've said this for years, but the players need a good sports psychologist. It's all in the head. They just need to believe, they've got the capacity to do better but poor tactical planning or not, a lot of our players are simply just too timid.
Many sides cope with much worse than missing a couple of B graders off the half back line. The 5 A graders in key positions and in midfield were all available.
Docherty on a 3rd ACL is a non factor this season and potentially full stop, until proven otherwise. It's time to accept that.
Saad and Gov made a difference but most importantly other players stepped up and Voss made some good changes. Form hasn't dipped recently due to them being back out of the side.

Maybe it was just a mod doing their job, I've never been thread banned or banned at all so must be the way you go about it.
Okay. My theory is that if you maintain your composure it won't happen again this time. So we'll see whether you can control yourself, or instead fly off the handle demanding people to leave.

It's simpler than that. You have 2 gun forwards but unfortunately, during big games, you are too predictable. Kick it to those two all the time when the pressure is on
You have described the job of a coach…

Oh when it comes to grand finals, St Kilda have not been the only club you've been generous to.

Nah mate I'm done with you today, i don't care if you have a go at Carlton but don't play the man.
Like who? There aren't many teams who miss an entire line in an area where there's little depth.
Doch is a leader though, if you make the argument that he can't play as well as he has in the past though, you can't overlook his leadership. As you saw last year during the finals, it was immense, and sadly it is lacking.
Despite Gov missing "that" shot, we would've lost by 5 goals if he didn't play.

I get why people think this but Carlton are the number 1 team in the competition in 2024 for goals per inside 50 and scoring shots per inside 50. So it has been effective - we just need to get it in there more (9th in i50s) and also get more delay on the ball going the other way.
Edit: and good to see you back manicpie

I'll be good as Pies never won the game Blues lost it.

You just need to lower the eyes when the pressure is on
Most coaches aren't psychologists...
Interesting. You guys already have Andrew Russell and he's a proven to be able to get players up and run the legs off opponents.
Dunno who your sports physch is..
But Timid? What does that actually mean?
Doch has been one of my favourite Blues of recent years, so I'm not injury trolling at all. A 3rd ACL is just ridiculously tough to come back from (we had a player who went through it), let alone in your 30s. He'd be in the Nathan Murphy camp barring a miracle. So yes, like Murphy for the Pies the loss of Doch can be pointed too. But only in the same sense as Geelong losing Selwood to retirement. Which is different to "wait until he's back".
I'm not for a second discounting Gov and Saad's influence. But a lot of clubs miss a couple of important players from one area of the field through seasons.

I love it, been a great season and the next 3 weeks will be hand on the heart stuff.So anyway, we’re all still thinking that the Swans are better than both of these two sides, right?
…right??
So what is it then, a coaching directive or players with low footy IQ? We've seen instances in the past where they lower their eyes and not bomb it exclusively to them and lo and behold, they play better with several individual goalkickers.
I think it's a more a mental thing.
It’s impressive Carlton fans are still valiantly defending their side. Facts are it’s another wasted year for Carlton while Pies fans enjoy their recent premiership.
