Interesting article re: kicking inside 50. We're roughly middle-bottom of the pack for retaining the ball when kicking inside 50.
Here's what caught my eye: Ed Langdon is the 3rd worst kick inside 50 in the competition. Of his 30 kicks inside 50 we have retained posession of 5 of them. 5. That's not even mark rate that's just pure next possession.
Now it is still relatively early in the season numbers wise, 30 isn't a large sample to be making a judgement on. For example you see McCluggage there who is a better kick than Langdon IMO. But it passes the eye test - we know he sprays it. Even his handballs are loopy and prone to turnover. Compare it to B.Hill. Again I wish we could actually access these stats because you could bump it up to include last year.
I'd actually be inclined to let him go should a Vic team offer a decent package for him. Given we now have now hitched our wagon to Hogan as a KPF, who is more of a JJK lead-up style forward than anything else.

Lach our congestion game was perfect for the big bodied inside mids, with SHill supplying the class and run.I've had this in the back of my mind for a while.
His running is elite and he fills the gaps nicely but just slaughters the ball...and lols...old Bradey has just had a stroke now his perception of Brad Hill might not hold up
not sure you can link them together.If the reports are true and we have been looking at Jarvis Pina and Daly Andrews for the mid-season draft then I reckon we think Langdon is a good chance to go ( they think we should get an extra 0.5 of a season of professional environment into that player).

Are they good ball users?
We should’ve done more to help Langdon improve his kicking imo. If anything, he’s worse now than when he was drafted.
I honestly thought this post would be about coaches, and replacements at Freo, Peel.I honestly can't see Freo making finals. So firstly I want to be in a good position come draft. Unfortunately there is no incentive in coming 9th.
I also want Freo to draft genuine match winners.
My priority. Trade week improve draft picks and get a free agent or two.
1 Coniglio
2 Kelly
Freo lack mid talent after Fyfe and Mundy. Barlow was treated poorly by Lyon once Neale came in. Now Freo don't have either player.
Secondly who do we need to draft? I want an elite mid with minimal injury concerns. So many first round draft picks that couldn't play do to injury ruined careers
Thoughts and opinions but please let this not get into an argument and derail what can be a mature analysis

We lack speed, skill, muscle, or all 3 Bolton, Kelly, Coniglio trade targets.
Draft speedy forward, wing, mid. All available from WA state team.
Have to look at the system, development at Peel, and Freo. Unsure why we let Menagola, B Grey, Deluca, Nads go.Yes we have discussed coaches in other threads. For what it's worth I'd be happy to look at J Lo or Caracella if they genuinely want to coach Freo. Plus I'd like a forward coach who can sort it out.

The new recruits from Vic, Jones and Meek, are all underwhelming.
Barlow was dog hungry, haven't seen that for awhile now.

In my opinion Caracella is just ahead, don't know if it matters but we have never had a coach who has won aWould Justin Longmuir be a good head coach?
Cats are a good comparison for us to follow, game plan, style, look at what changes they made when everyoneI still believe that dropping Sam Collins from the list was the wrong thing to do. Longmuir would be a good coach to trial with I reckon. Coniglio is a must target during the off-season though, throw all your money at him. Kelly is gonna stay with Geelong now the way they're going imo.
