If I may be so bold as to comment on your board ladies and gents...
When we are on (like most of yesterday) we are quite effective in defending well inside our D50. Yesterday Freo had 53 inside 50's for 23 scoring shots, 9 of those scoring shots in the first. We are also effective in scoring...
If you refer to my initial post:
Without further detail I can only therefore assume that this area of the membership pool is increasing too, as are our Melbourne based 3 gamers, however without the breakdown it is just speculation. What is not speculation is the overall Tassie membership...
The basis on where you stated that:
We have gone from roughly 2,500 Tassie memberships pre deal to 4,200 now, whilst our overall membership has increased from 30,332 to 40,000 during the same period.
Incorrect.
We have an ingrained and significant interstate membership base with our Tasmanian membership numbers increasing by no more than 2,000 since the club started playing there. True, our goal needs to be increasing the Melbourne gameday membership but to say that our increase is only due...
I left the ground pretty happy that we managed to get the better of your boys around the contest in what was a really physical and high pressure encounter. We all know what the media and general public are like with perceptions of clubs, generally 12-24 months behind the reality of where clubs...
No problem. All clubs have supporters who can't see the forest for the trees but in the big picture I think your club are very much on the right path. Get a few talls in during this draft and target one via FA and in three years time when Griffen and Cooney are the old heads but still kicking it...
I hope you dont mind the intrusion but I think calls for a new coach are way off the mark. Your club is rebuilding and this process takes time. Lots of time. Truth be told I think thsat it will be another 2 or 3 years before your kids are ready but thsts just how it goes. When the likes of...
As long as the injection is for the treatment of a pre-existing condition and it is WADA compliant then there is not problem. Cooney obviously needs this treatment to get up for gameday and if it is a reasonable expectation that this treatment be used for this type of injury then there will be...
It's taken me a while to post this, too busy trying to figure what the * is going on with my clubs fadeouts, but I was rapt to see your boys get up on the weekend. I really like the way the team is being built with hard nuts left right and centre. Great reward for effort.
Stick it out.
It takes time for a bunch of 1st-4th year players to get the consistency in performance and fitness levels required to play out four quarters and you guys are blooding as many kids as we did at North but in a shorter period of time. Its going to hurt for a while and will do so...
Regardless of what happens this year I reckon you blokes are going about you rebuild the right way and will bounce back sooner rather than later. I like the no bullshit, hard edged philosophy the coaching staff seem to be applying to the playing group, and with a number of good, strong contested...
I hope you all don’t mind my dropping in to provide a bit of outside perspective. 3 years ago my club went through a similar period as yours, new coach and new players etc and I learned a lot as a supporter during the ensuing period about what it takes to rebuild a list and redefine the way a...
If we have a look at the scoring avenues for North this year we see the following:
Edwards: 15
Harvey: 10
Thomas: 9
Petrie: 9
Adams: 7
McIntosh: 7
Macmillan: 7
Cunnington: 7
Bastinac: 6
Harper: 6
Ziebell: 5
3 players who play some to all their game as a forward marking target...
Disposals are almost identical, as are the clearances and contested possession counts. You guys mark a little more, but you also kick a little more too.
Statistically speaking the biggest difference between our two teams this year is that our forward targets have actually kicked goals and we...
A turnover is when the possession results in the opponent getting the next clear possession as a result, not them winning a contest and running away with the ball.
If that is the case then Ziebell has a total of 7 turnovers for the match, not 20 as you claim.
Re: Booma out
The reports are that he has developed some consistency to his game over the last month or two. He is now doing the simple things well enough at VFL level that he is having an impact on games without having to rely on his athleticism. Petire reckons he is still a ways off it at the...
For what it's worth I'm really looking forward to watching Bazza running around for you guys tonight and I really hope that he is the missing link in a premiership team come September. Best of luck and wipe the floor with the Hawks.
