He seems to be a good kick on his right and effective on his left. He may not have the length in his kicking as some others but he looks to be able to hit his targets. Plus his hands are great, he is fit as fuxk, is a tackling machine and a real 'culture' guy. My main concern is his pace. We...
Defensive transition is s**t. We are giving the defenders no chance. Mifield and half forwards are playing like utter crap.
2 weeks in a row we are a rabble.
Looking at it from his perspective and of all those health professionals who are making decisions and preparing our resources for this, they have to plan for worst case scenario and have to message accordingly. If they don't plan along those lines and get it wrong then they are culpable. If they...
He didn't say it IS Italy like.
The guy I know is a very reasonable, smart, normal, easy going, down to earth, calm, very well trained individual. One of the best people I know. This is his area of expertise, his specialisation. He's trained for a decade to get the knowledge he has now and has...
So if half our medical staff get sick, and then it peaks in community, then what happens? Do people die at home because there is no one to ventilate them?
The reality is we need to look a this from a perspective of keeping our doctors and nurses safe, because without them the rest of us are in...
It could actually be worse. What if the likes of Walker,EVW, LDU, Xerri, Bonar, Mahoney, McKay and Comben stagnate, or don't kick on, or get injured? There is a hell of a lot to go right for us to come out of this with a list capable of challenging.
I was speaking with someone who is in charge of a Melbourne hospitals response to this last night. He is very concerned that what we get here is what happened in Italy. His staff are getting sick from community transmission, not work based. According to him there is every reason to be concerned...
It's coming to a pretty dark place, and really soon. We need to take drastic action to address the hole in the 25-28 age group, and the quality we have that is older than that and close to the end. Only 3 clubs have less young players than us. They are:
GWS
Collingwood
Hawthorn
Of course...
Its a really fine line between totally gutting the list and maintaining enough depth to not fill the list with a whole host of utter gash, which we then just cut a year or two later, meaning constant major list turnovers. I've taken a look at what could happen over the next three years below...
History tells us that in any group of young players that about half don't make it. We would have to be very, very lucky for all our current group to come on. I'm of the opinion that we are skirting the whirlpool of mediocrity unless we add some more early picks.
