When do we review?
Think everything I was worried about is happening. Club is unraveling before our eyes. We are a laughing stock in the afl right now. -
When do we review?
Just thought I would bump this thread after a pause to reflect on it. Shaping up to be the worst season in our history with the worst injury count and a CEO who is deflecting from these issues. On reflection, the review should have been broader and covered non football areas because it is clear... -
Autopsy 2026 Rd 4 Carlton vs North Melbourne: What is this sport anymore?
Umpiring cost you game. Simple. You had momentum that was robbed by the AFL. -
Coach Adem Yze
Dimma’s first 3 seasons were 6,8 and 10 wins. Yze after 2 years is barely above Dimma’s first season. Also, Yze’s method is almost impossible to understand. What exactly are they standing for apart from front running aggressive ball movement with little defensive intent when we turn over the ball? -
Coach Adem Yze
To close our my view on the praccy. Again, let’s forget margin but examine some key inputs:- we had more kicks, handballs and marked but conceded 11 more i50’s - in other words they had 30% more i50’s than us. On a pro rata basis, of all the praccy matches, we had 30% less tackles than Melbourne... -
Coach Adem Yze
37 tackles to the Bombers at h/t. I just reckon hang your hat on something if you can’t win the ball and as old fashioned as it may sound tackling is an effort stat…. -
Coach Adem Yze
What fundamentals is he teaching the players that I would expect would be a prerequisite for being the “perfect “ rebuild coach? Look at tackling - intent and technique. We laid 21 tackles in 3 qtrs and apart from our senior players none really stuck. Players are going with the arms, not step... -

Coach Adem Yze
As opposed to blindly being followed off a cliff and into the abyss of mediocrity? He is the worst coach we have had in 50 years. Can’t sack him and possibly we have to take our medicine for another season after this but it is clear there is zero improvement in players and overall team. Just... -

Preview Match Simulation v Essendon Friday February 20th 10.30am
Lots of good points in here except for the inevitable one which enables mediocrity called “it’s only a praccy”. Yes, it’s only a praccy but let’s not practice slow, one dimensional midfield centre ball ups. We gain nothing. Let’s not practice hurried kicks down the line to an out number. Let’s... -
Preview Match Simulation v Essendon Friday February 20th 10.30am
I watched 3 qtrs today. First things first - Lalor is ready to play mid. McCauliffe also looks ready. Gryl and Cummings look like walk up starts for R1. Love Armstrong and Faull in the longer term as key forwards but also having Lynch will help us. Reckon we lacked the class of a Vlas or Balta... -

Which side is closer to a premiership - Carlton or Essendon?
Essendon need to piss off everyone at the club that enables the coterie to have a say in how it is run. They leak news like TMZ. Paul Little still has too much influence behind the scenes. His ego is toxic. Get a great CEO and empower him/her to actually run the club which involves telling...- Words: 82

Player Watch #33 Patrick Retschko
I’m almost certain Geelong let go of the perfect player so I am sure he’s amazing at everything. In the meantime, run forest run. -

When do we review?
Fair enough. I have been around for a long time. Have seen us get it right and wrong over the past 50 years. Have been on this site for ages. I don’t post here often but when I do it’s been thought through. I currently see a malaise in our clubs thinking since Peggy left. I would argue my... -
When do we review?
If you don’t like a democracy go live in Victoria. Oh. -
When do we review?
Noone seems able or wants to answer the question of why wait until we become a basket case before we review. Being 2nd last after being last should invite constructive scrutiny. Let’s support the program by proactively reviewing it. As previously mentioned, some intel from the club has explained... -
When do we review?
There was never a plan of any substance until Benny and Dimma arrived. There was never a culture of sticking the plan out until Peggy arrived. What I really liked about 3-0-75 was the way they communicated how they were going to get there. And not just the flags. Getting to debt to zero was an... -
When do we review?
What i mean by that was that I would like made transparent the milestones along the way. Take the 3-0-75 as one example of what I meant. In your words that was a “stupid trap” but to me Benny was courageous and purposeful when he made those goals clear. He also put the club out there which was... -
When do we review?
It all falls under the one club. I guess we can agree to disagree. I am of the view that you cannot be too vigilant when you are so far off the top clubs. We have a lot of ground to make up - not just the age demographics of the list -
When do we review?
Where did I say that it should be made explicitly public? I think some transparency is good to keep people informed but if they shared even a framework of how they review the operation along with a perspective of how they seek out best practice across the industry then we know we are getting... -
When do we review?
I think that’s fair RT. My reference point is that the last 2 years have been our worst in 50+ years - based on ladder position and %. In fact our % in last 2 years is the worst it’s been since the 60’s. The fall has been expected but dramatic. So, when you are coming from last to first - there... -
When do we review?
I’m happy to wait another year but will say this before moving on. There’s a heap of people who think we are “on track” but have not articulated why we are on track. On track compared to what? When are you expecting us to play finals again and what gives you comfort we are well placed to get... -
When do we review?
On what basis is it misguided? I reckon it’s good to get ahead of a cycle rather than react after the event. The one thing I would say is that if they were doing this behind closed doors and not sharing it then that would be fine so I hope that due diligence is being done. I just don’t... -
When do we review?
Ha ha. We won our last flag 5 years ago and while I will always be grateful for that don’t see why TF we should wallow in mediocrity? Do you? Is it not a red flag that our aflw coach gets extended and then sacked a few months later? Perhaps the review would have been more effective done before... -
When do we review?
I see women’s program has been reviewed and upended. I wonder how Mon Conti feels knowing we are starting again once things became completely hopeless. Be good to use reviews more proactively and change things along the way rather than waiting until it’s hopeless.
