True - but we were the second oldest team and 3 rd most experienced when he took over - that’s now 16th and 17th respectively So it’s been completely overhauled (the team and list) Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Assuming Buckley wouldn’t come - who would be the field we would be looking at. Montgomery at GWS Leppitsch at Collingwood Hansen at Carlton Bruce at Brisbane Cox at Sydney. Other options? First and foremost we need to beef up recruiting Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Reckon McLeod missed a stretch there as well - and ruckman did his knee before half time in the prelim. Cursed that year Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Too early to call that I think. Each has a different game style to NWM and I think a higher ceiling - would love to have both of them Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Carlton have the Campo boys this year. Can’t imagine the AFL shafting a big VIC club - could be our saving grace Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

We’re they Riccuitos kids (some of them)? Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Jones didn’t play well - I like Jones but he is a mile off last year. Was clearly our second worst player on the night (behind Ned) Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Agree with this but don’t think it has all been down to the midfield. Jones, Milera, Smith and Hinge all started the year horribly out of form. The latter two have found significant improvement in the last 2 weeks, Milera obviously out but Nank has come in and helped - Jones has been better...

Smiths last two weeks have been pretty good. I think you are focused to much on the errors he makes rather than the other good things he does. Even last quarter yesterday 8 touches at 88%. Stood up including a couple of key knock ons etc. Would happily rest Jones though to bring Curtin in to...

The Bombers always step up against us - not sure why that is but they tend to be more physical than they are with other teams and just run and go quick. Definitely a weak where coaches need to shut down the opposition strengths - Merrett, Martin, Redman Do that and we win Sent from my...

Jones definitely improved last year and I suspect his injury recovery has impacted him this year. But certainly - along with Ned - clearly our worst player yesterday. Just seems so mentally slow in picking up the game Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

He got his nose busted in the first 10 minutes of the season. Perhaps it causing issues with running/breathing? Seems to have a played a bit better today - 16 kicks - hope he turns it around soon Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Coaches overthinking stuff. The game plan was great last year - we just needed to develop a way to stop run ons and perhaps defend better in tight games last 5 minutes. Instead we have started much more defensively minded and it has taken away our strengths. A good step forward today! Sent...

Both of have done well in the sub role. Maybe rotate through that to keep match fitness up Obviously would be nice to see Pedlar back in form and in front of McHenry soon Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com
