Get rid of our coach. Get a coach in who doesn't compromise our club because one of the players is a great friend.

Trade sloane for macrae from the bulldogs. Sloane is overrated, he has poor disposal and rarely gets 30 touches. Macrame is exactly the player we lack

Bring in Eddie McGuire. Won't happen, but would be the best appointment ever
Saving this post in case there's ever a thread called "The 3 Worst Decisions Possible"
 
19th Man to be 23rd Man, given 22 rock up to play each week.
Move on the list cloggers...Smack, Porps, Reilly, Otten at the very least.
Fight for better timeslots for matches next year...though I think the opposite will happen - Sunday 4.40 pm slots will be ours I'm afraid.
A fourth would be not having to travel to Paterson's stadium in the final round next year (as either we or Port have done for so many years now).
 
1. Ignore BFett. Seriously stop pushing the Pods wagon...WE GET IT! Trade Sloane? FFS.
2. Clean out of assistants. Hire SA that has good game day nouce. Bassett as an assistant ASAP. Bicks, Campo, Doc gone.
3. Get some skills coaches who a) can teach our team how to field kick...someone from the Hawks. b) can teach us how to tackle...Swans maybe.

I really only want one thing:

1. For us to acknowledge that what we have isn't enough.

Everything else flows from there.

Instead we're convinced that if we just keep persevering success will inevitably follow.

Although you won't get success without perserverence. Change where necessary, and persevere.
 
Changing and persevering with what you have are opposites
Persevere with the stuff that works. Persevere with trying to improve. Persevere with trying to increase membership. Do it all in a smarter way.

Shitpost of the year!
 
1. Publicly execute Trigg at final game of the season.

2. Blackmail all SA draft prospects to do a Whinge-guard so they stay in SA and don't go interstate.

3. Bring back the cheerleaders.
 
Bickley out - Wock Tredrea in
Chapman out - Wayne Jackson in
Bailey Role - John Blakey

I'd bring in the 1998 premiership team, the same ages they were in 1998.

For my last two wishes I'd take two Kardashian sisters.
Andrew Eccles love going on here?
 
Gotten over 30 touches 3 times this year. Has poor disposal, and not a big body. He isn't anything special, we just pump him up because he is ours. Would take macrae in a heart beat over him

He averages 23 touches a game, and can't kick. Macrae gets more than 30 and never misses a target

You are kidding with this post aren't you?

You are referring to THE Rory Sloane who wears #9 and is a co-captain of the AFC? The winner of the 2013 Malcolm Blight Medal?

If you aren't, then carry on. If you are, then I am absolutely certain that you could not be any further mistaken if you tried.

I wish we had 2 more of him!

You could not get a better example of a guy who actually shows some pride and passion in wearing the jumper. His 1% acts and gut running and selfless acts are amazing. Stats are not everything (unless you run a Fantasy League team that is).

I am quite certain that he would be in the Top 5 picked each week.

OK his disposal has been off this season, but come on, he is our best 120 min contributor and he will once again capture his earlier game changing moments that have been lost under the present administration.
 
Although Bfett called me out as vomiting shit on this board the other night over something as equally diabolical when viewed through the emotion tinted glasses most crow supporters wear, I will have to agree with his opinion on our beloved Rory.

The guy is a champ and cannot be faulted on Heart,endevour,courage,willpower,leadership yada yada yada.
But in saying all that, he is not a natural ball winner, not a great user of the ball or elite in any sense regarding skilllevel. Is slight of body, and struggles to assert himself against bigger framed midfields. Fades in games, lacks awareness and creativity and the list gos on.
Id simply move Sloan to a back flank/pocket and play him where his natural style suits best.

McRae will be a star no doubt, but I wouldnt trade Sloan for him.Douglas maybe if the Dogs would fall for such a swindle. In saying that he is exactly the typ of player we need, and is exactly the type pf player this club is pretending to have payed 400k a year for over the next 4.

Imediate changes Id like to see.

Structural

Danger to HFF.

Sload to the HBF.
---> Smith, Crouch, Lyon,Grigg and Crouch Jr to fill their spots.

We need to change up the game plan from Kamikaze get the ball at all costs, then overuse the ****er and bomb it blindly cos thats as far as our gameplan extends, to extract inside ball(lyons,Crouch,Crouch Jr) out to elite ball users(Grigg, Kerridge,Smith) then deliver to leading open foward line with precision.
Speedy, relentless crumbers shadowing the 2-3(Danger included) talls at all times.

An open forward line not flooded with lumbering talls of which none are decent over head.
----> Surely they understand that Tex and JJ are lead up forwards of whom only Tex knows when and where to lead? For this we need space and pace at the fall of the ball. Our forward arc is as static as they come, and defensive pressure is non existent due to the immobility of it all. (Again, Ill argue all day that Tex is just as Lazy as JJ in this regard.)

1. Stop paying Rowe and Bone to provide North Korean style spin about how great we are.
2. Ban any mention of "back in 2012..."
3. Increase football spending - you need to spend money to make money in this industry.

There is a 4dpg difference in Macrae's favour. That's about it. Everything else is in Sloane's favour. You are kidding yourself.
Exactly the same DE% btw - which is amazing when you consider sloaney wins more contested ball.

Sloane is overrated,
I stopped reading about there:rolleyes:
If fans could vote for a new captain by SMS right now, he would shit in.
Daylight would be distant second.

My three changes
1. Replace Sando...his message isn't getting through.The new coach factor has dried up to expose his lack of match day inventive.
2. We need a Ruckman before the Sauce bottle is empty.
3. Cull or trade instead of signing mediocre players on long term deals.
 
1. Coaches: Worsfold, Goodwin, Bassett, Lade, Tredrae. In open to replacing Sando altogether, but am willing to see how he goes surrounded by quality assistants.

2. Build a defence around defenders who are completely stingy and have elite kicks off the ball. Action: bring back Phil Davis.

3. Skills. Either work on improving our overall skill base or bring in skilful footballers with class who execute under pressure and deliver the ball cleanly.

which ones?
This one?
