Even the bottom teams have a best team man. Your statement doesn't make sense.

So you reckon our club was wrong to sack him?
if you watch real closely, you'll see his opponent get goal side of him way too often. A week or 3 in the 2s will sort that out.
Strengths and weaknesses in both methods. AFGM is being somewhat disingenuous (surprising to nobody) though. The example re Murphy is actually seen on TV because he comes into screen if he's providing pressure. TV eliminates a grand total of zero pressure acts.
I'm not a big fan of live football. It's the worst of both worlds, outside of the atmosphere. To see what players do in the contest you need to be close to the fence, but that eliminates that view for the majority of the ground. And it's not a great position to be in terms of seeing structure, patterns, risks and opportunities. The further from the fence you are the less you get of the former and the more of the latter. TV consistently provides the best view of the contest and how players move and act within it and transitioning out of it. You don't see the running they do or where they are when the ball isn't near them, but I wouldn't sacrifice a good view of what's happening around the ball for that.
You can't have it all. If I had to summarise in one sentence, I'd say that certain positions at a game give you a better idea of how a teams are playing/performing whereas TV gives you a better idea of a player's individual impact. And how come Austar could provide multiple viewing options 20 years ago and these days it's just the one?

It must be enormous disappointment for the Bigfooty “Experts” that three whipping boys (Smith, Keays and Murphy) finished in the top ten.
Clearly the coaches are clueless since the Bigfooty “Experts” (particularly those that only (occasionally) watch the team on the tellie) are the font of all wisdom. Wasn’t one fxxxen poster keen to trade Lairdy?
Dawson deserved to win and the top three were as expected imho.
Remind me again where we finished on the ladder?
Did we miss the MAESTRO?

Considering he started the last two seasons with two relatively quiet games, not yet.

I think Dawson's stats are simply reflective of our first three performances generally. We'd have only the odd player who has improved on their 2023 stats.
That said, and covered extensively in the Nicks thread, there can only be one central theme to a general loss of form. Whatever our coaching game plan is, it's not understood or executed by the players. The skipper is just another victim of this. Dawson however, is the captain and as such, his meeting with Nicks (hopefully happened after this Freo debacle) needs to have some soul searching included. Our season is only another bad fortnight away from gonski...
Making clangers not even under any pressure.

He's simply trying to do too much by observing how much of a dumpster fire the rest of our team has been. Trying to put the team on his back but unfortunately is compounding the problem.
Class like Dawson doesn't stay down for too long though, I have full faith he'll bounce back.
