Summary of the questions from that presser:
  1. - Were you rapt with your own return to form
  2. - Did you feel you were under pressure and how did that affect you
  3. - Has the Captaincy been responsible for your form slump
  4. - What's the mood of the team
  5. - Did you read Deledio's comments as playing as individuals rather than as a team
  6. - Why do you think the team is down in form
  7. - The GF re-match this week - what significance does that have
  8. - What have you learned since being captain in Covid and what would you have done differently
  9. - The level of contested possession - why would that have dropped
The only ones where he was required to give anything other than a brain dead answer were #5 #8 and at a stretch #9.

Not a single question about the appalling go slow, down the line, chip sideways, avoid the corridor at all costs game plan. Amazing.

I placed this in the Nick Haynes player thread too; despite its unusual source (the ABC - WTF?), it is a great analysis of defensive strategy.

The ABC hired one of the stats guys from an independent site this year and he's putting up some great articles.
 
Another story from the above, what a f***ing joke





Mind you nothing yet on the AFL website however this was the article from them last night

1. There's a touch of Hollywood about Cal

I hope they back it up with a story about the death threats and the other side of footy

Well that doesn’t sound like the AFL at all🙄
 
Well there you go....


No AFL Statement as yet but they have just released 1 regarding the post game behaviour of players

There‘s no excuse for making death threats against a person or their family. Piss poor behaviour by opposition supporters who don’t understand that there’s a line in the sand. What happened on the field with the free kick falls on the umpires.

Whitfield was on SEN tonight.

Bob Murphy asked a good simple question: "the Giants sitting 11th on the ladder 5 weeks out from finals - it just doesn't seem right".

LW: "Yeah ideally we wouldn't be sitting 11th. We've got full faith in the ability of this group to turn this around as we have before."

On Riccardi:

LW: "Yeah he's probably the best lead up forward on the list - probably outside Jezza Cameron"

SEN Melb. Radio G. Whateley Program "The Top Office With Tony Shepherd".

An illuminating interview with T. Shepherd, providing a very rare insight into the AFL HQ's inner sanctum; & AFL HQ's motivation in establishing GWS & GCFC, & AFL HQ's current evaluation on the funding/present progress of GWS.

(scroll to my post #3265).
