Saying there's a time and a place for the celebration is supporting him? That isn't support.Hinkley’s comments support him too
Yes that guy. His passion is great, his output not so much.What the guy who yells like he has just kicked a Persian down a well everytime he kicks one?
Probably a discussion for another thread but while I agree it's hard to judge Dixon's performance based on the forward structure/game plan.Yes that guy. His passion is great, his output not so much.
Just as long as he doesn't follow the whole "hiding from ASADA thing".After reading an article on lachie whitfield, got me thinking that Xavier could be our version of whitfield.
His skills would need a lot of work. A lot. Athletically though, he could probably get there.
i dont mind his skills, not sure what his efficiency overall is like, but surely he would be in our top 10 for skills. Having said that his kicking for goal has let him down, ever since he missed that goal in an earlier game that could have put us in front? or close
Such a shame that all the media coverage about Duursma has been the celebration and not what a great season he is having for a rookie.If they ******* stamp out his celebration i'll be pretty ******* pi**ed. fu** this competition and it's hanger on's like the media. The whole AFL product is a steaming pile of s**t.
Ken said the older generation might not be as keen on it but the younger generation sure love it. Keep it up Duursma.Such a shame that all the media coverage about Duursma has been the celebration and not what a great season he is having for a rookie.
For what it's worth (not much), they backed him on On The Couch last night. Except for Roo's, but that's not surprising. He's coached 2 of the most boring teams in the last 20 years.
Yeah but what percentage of that distance is his ridiculous run up for a set shot.It is North Melbourne forward Ben Brown who has a claim to being the AFL’s true distance king. Not only does his 17.28km in round two rank him third but he tops the list for average distance covered. Brown runs an average 15.64km each game
Hinkley’s comments support him too
I find it strange how Buddy was always allowed a bigger turning arc than anyone elseYeah but what percentage of that distance is his ridiculous run up for a set shot.
Its amazing how he manages to get that far back without moving off his mark. Especially with how tight they are on defenders even looking to the side.
Just on this (and I don't mean to single this comment out, it's just a general comment about what Hinkley said)
Hinkley's comments weren't totally negative, but they weren't totally supportive either. He initially said "i'll have a word to him" as if it was something that he was acknowledging needed to be toned down.
He's just not always very supportive of the players, and I note again that the narrative coming from the coaches is that the players are out of form which is causing our poor performances. Anyone who has ever coached any sport from U6s up would know that you don't pot your players publicly. A coach needs to be mentally down in the trenches with the players.
And if it was just a one off, I could deal with it. But we've always been inconsistent under Hinkley, we've always blamed players for performances as a club, and we lost our last blue chip KPF prospect because the club couldn't support him mentally through the yips. For a club that loves to talk about how much we wrap our arms around each other, I think we get the messaging really, really wrong and the result is our current mental fragility.
It's not really Ken's fault entirely though, it's an issue that is really reflective of Koch's poor leadership.
Just another example that the head doesn't know what the tail is doing.Interesting that we've now had Boak, Monty and Koch come out in support of the goal celebration, despite Hinkley's comments. Interesting...
I actually think it is as simple as this....he tends to get too close to the man on the mark when kicking for goal...field kicking is long and accuratei dont mind his skills, not sure what his efficiency overall is like, but surely he would be in our top 10 for skills. Having said that his kicking for goal has let him down, ever since he missed that goal in an earlier game that could have put us in front? or close
I reckon we get rid of the people catching balls in buckets at 1/2time and replace it with someone having a crack at archery... with Jarrod Walsh in very close proximity.
I think I understand why Brad Dickhead Johnson doesn't like goal celebrations unless they involve teammates.....

As a member of the older generation, I take offence to this. Heaven knows we need some personality in our football. It's a "hell yeah" from me.Ken said the older generation might not be as keen on it but the younger generation sure love it. Keep it up Duursma.
Lol, no. That miss is on Duursma. Can't shift the blame onto Hinkley just cuz we don't like him.Maybe if our leaders unequivocally backed him last week he might have nailed that goal.
