Think it’s actually pescatarian booing.

A modern affliction.

Bit of a nothing article from Wayne, he is correct with everything he wrote about the forward line, however he is wrong in saying that that's our bigest issues, It's the Midfield thats the biggest concern followed by the useless forward line.

Interesting and considered however it comes across to me as more of an insiders viewpoint looking to shift the focus of responsibilty from a colleague onto other actors in the show. Doesn't really pick up the point that the director so to speak controls all the actors and what they should be doing on stage. If the players are no longer listening to the coach then who's fault is that? It's almost a catch 22.

H-S article

Do you know that there are people out there who truly believe you are a Nazi, if you don't agree with that stuff?

There are very few Snake, I reckon. The vast, vast majority are basically just struggling to ride the tightrope between what is and what isn’t fair. Everything is very “gray” these days and it’s left up to us all to decide for ourselves. That’s never easy.

Good work Damian. But just the beginning.

H-S article

If anybody can get their hands on today's paper I can recommend this article.
McGuane actually went and sat through a training session. Quite interesting.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Couldn't the board just terminate Buckley's position?

 

[Dirty_11]

Any chance someone can post the McGuane article from the Hun today?

Can’t believe I’ve just read legitimate football analysis in the Herald Sun. Thank you, Mick!

It’s a start. Hopefully he can get a few other media types to get on as well after we get flogged tonight.

So a suburban coach can get off a stool in the TAB, wander down to Arden Street, and in two hours work out some of our obvious issues?

What does that tell you about the people we have down there running the show?

FFS, get him on to the coaching panel in some capacity. Now.

"We've seen we had a poor start to the year … (and) out on the field, we might discuss how we're feeling and 'Let's try and step it up now', but we sort of don't want to speak about it.

Huh?

"But what he's been able to do in his first three games is pretty unreal for a first-year player."

Look, Tarryn has started ok but if that's Kayne's genuine opinion then he's easily wowed.

"The coaches never put pressure on numbers, especially Brad (Scott) – he's not a numbers sort of coach – so that's massive for us."

God only knows what sort of coach he is then. Or how he enforces standards to players.

Article takes away the heat from Brad

Me no like

 

[Horizons_00]

This ****s me off

How come we have to have a crisis for us to actually train hard and with strong intensity? That should be a ****ing standard?! We got to wait 10 years?!

We are legit taking the piss

 

[CharlieMortdecai]

Huh?

I think what Kayne is trying to say (poorly, but he's not paid for his communication skills) is that talk is cheap, actions speak louder words. Awful cliches, but on this occasion he would have been clearer if he resorted to using them.

One of the best football articles I've read ever. Well thought out, no hyperbole and illuminating.

Out of interest for some reason the last quality article I recall sticking in the mind was by the netball coach Joyce Brown (Fraser's mum) who wrote about attending Richmond and North Melbourne training sessions in the 90s before they played each other and noting how the former did lots of 'pretty' drills under ideal uncontested conditions while North trained their drills 'ugly' under high pressure.

Fwiw North won.

Not only that, the headline is perfect.

Sums up our year.
