Lol, afl 360 extended movie on the premiership captain who wasn't
You'll need the tissues for it.
Whinging about what everyone posts adds nothing at all either, but you keep doing it,

No one is saying he is shit by suggesting he lacks a backup plan or uses forwards poorly, he has a talented enough list to do better in some peoples opinions, guess we rate the team higher than yourself. Each to their own.

Disagree all you want but trying to label anyone who disagrees with you as clueless is pretty piss poor
But which coaches do have these plan B's? If Clarkson had one last weekend he must have gone through plan b-z.

In saying that when Longmire is under the pump he goes defensive and we get away with an honourable loss. Rarely would he take an offensive move and take the game on.

Good coaches imo will try positional moves or new ideas, Buckley is an average coach but in round they played a very different style to the first two rounds i watched, he was trying a few things

We do the same shit a lot, our weakness appears to be the same thing, you answered it above


Every time we discuss Horse we bring up Clarkson, bugger the gnome

Buckley left Pendles on the bench for 14 mins, not injured, but was brilliant enough to have a defender go to Buddy's left at all times!

Horse?
It doesn't matter about horse because we've concluded he can't coach.

Have we? I think we will learn about horse the next 18 weeks

Buckley is an interesting coach, I heard he can be a prick for weaker players from someone whos met a few pies players, could be bs

Seems easier to bring up Clarkson than Beveridge.

Do you think we can win it?
As pointed out we have a midfield at full strength that contains the greatest, in my opinion, inside mid to ever play the game, the current brownlow runner up and a recent AFL coaches association player of the year.

Apart from that we have possibly the greatest player/forward of the modern era and up there with any that has played the game and the probable return of one of the games highest paid players as a forward/ruck.

We also have a defence led by a 200 plus game veteran at the age peak of his football career, a former AA 28 year old small defender, a top 5 pick rising star half back flanker and a tall key defender rated as one of the brightest prospects in the game.

We also are led by a 3 time grand final coach that has the full confidence of a large section of the supporter base and has led us to finals appearances in all of his years (from memory).

Apart from that there are premiership players littered through the side, first round draftees and the probable return of our first choice ruck, an academy player that was a genuine number 1 pick and a really quick red head.

How could we lose or even be winless?

Despite all of that I can't tip us and expect to get smacked. Not beaten but hammered. And if you ever had a pm conversation with me you would actually realise I was enormously confident in the talent of the team despite any odds.

I even lost (another) hundred on them last week expecting an improvement.

For the first time in years I have zero confidence in winning this game. Not even as a sneaky upset.

You let your wallet do all the talking for you on here!
