Heard Ken's presser on the way home. Was pretty glowing in his thoughts on Neade's game. God help us.

Just justifying his own selections. Any person with a modicum of integrity would admit it didn't work as well as they had hoped.

Positive energies only please.

"We only want to talk about the first half" (of the hawks game).
 
"The boys who got the job done tonight deserve another go" or whatever he once said echoes in my mind

you get what you deserve you get what you deserve you get what you deserve you get what you deserve
you get what you deserve you get what you deserve you get what you deserve you get what you deserve

Out:
- Young - was anonymous and is defensively awful.
- Impey - eye catching runs are useless if you can't finish your work. Was also mostly anonymous.
- Polec (inj) - really pissed about this one.

In:
- Howard - we need a KPF who knows what they're doing up forward. Switch Trengove back to the defence.
- Atley - should have been in this week.
- White - replacement for Polec.

I'm being conservative with this. I'd love to find a way to bring in Palmer.

I think your ins and outs are a real possibility.
 
I'm sick to death of this coaching group placing so much emphasis on 'pressure' and 'defence first' footy.

Yeah, it's important but so is being a footballer and having the skills and judgement to play decent footy too.

Giving guys a pass mark because of some imaginary pressure they apply is nothing more than giving 'C' graders a game each week in the 'B's because they front up to training.

Hinkley has no intention of trying to win anything. He's solely focused on keep his job, the job's of his assistants, and every player on the list - apart from the 3 scapegoats that must be sacrificed each year to show how serious he is.

Out - take your pick. There are 10+ out there that aren't up to it and never will be.

In - anyone that is half decent at playin' footy.
 
If Drew was to debut in AFL, what would his likely position be? I've liked what Ive seen so far...clean hands and and good vision in traffic.
 

All the 'good pressure' Neade applied was a consequence of his complete inability to read the play and get to a contest before his opponent. The junk time nothing goal he kicked at the end was probably the first clean possession that hit a target he had all day. Dougal Howard applies less defensive pressure than Neade, because unlike Neade he actually gets the ball himself.

Neade should never play for us again. But he'll play for us next week, there's nothing surer. Such a good bloke.

Totally agree. Being so light and vertically challenged, he really needed something else to make it work. Sadly he lacks an outstanding skill/trait and just doesnt get enough of it.
Caleb Daniel, although lacking height, has incredible vision and kicking skills. He also gets plenty of the ball and rarely panics.
We all love Neades back story and have no doubt he is a great bloke but he has a massive challenge ahead.
 
Jasper didnt get a lot of the ball but he did exactly what we asked him to do....ho hum

Chicken with their head cut off has seriously never fit a player before in the history of AFL as it does for junk time Jake.

When he went on the wing for his match up constantly turning around looking for some sort of guidance from the bench, at one stage Mathieson was on him and basically left him alone to run around in circles because he knew he wasn't going to hurt them.

Should be in the Toumpas never play again basket but is somehow still contracted until next year.
