I might disagree with you there. But this is great news.
This is from today. We scored 10 points from chains beginning in the back half. Adelaide scored 52.

And this is from the Bombers match.

This tells me that if we can manage to break even on defending transition, we are immediately a 30 point better team.
Which tells me we’re only a good coach away from being a much much better team.
It’s been easy this year to watch us and think that we’re a rabble with everything wrong. But only six months ago, we were all bullish coming into this season.
So what’s more likely? That all of us were idiots then and we’re right now? Or that we were right then and have had our confidence shot by a year where a lot of things went wrong in a black box that we can’t access?
We have a good list. If Clarko is coming it’s definitely because he sees the bones of a contender in what we already have.
52 points to 10 on transition. That is great news, because it means that our problems are concentrated and not myriad. We’re small fixes away from large gains.
I've been to Korea and didn't like the food at all. I reckon the reason they all so skinny as who would want to eat a cuisine where pickled cabbage is the pinnacle of their food. I constantly rag the Koreans I work with about this but I play Starcraft so they forgive me.
Watched the first half but it's on early morning over here so fell asleep.
Don't want to watch the rest as I know what I will see.
One thing though that no one has mentioned. Gee Goldy can play this game and has a feel for it.
He can have another year as a Cat B? He did shoot up 4cm this year, that's going to make chucking on muscle even harder. I'd be inclined to give him another year, but won't be crying over spilled milk if he gets moved on. Has some attributes to build uponI'm not a knock on the bloke for the sake of it, and he has some attributes - a nice left foot, reads it well and can mark. The problem is the one you refer to - he's been in the system for 3 years and is pretty much the body shape he was at the start. Unfortunately, for some, that's just how it is - Jarrad Grant comes to mind, and a fair way back, David Bourke. I think I'm right in saying even as a Cat B, after 3 years he has to go on the main list? Kallan Dawson has gone past him in a month, so not sure where that main list spot is going to come from
and 2 more KPDsIt’s been done ad nauseum get a mobile chf and a cohesive forward line we will improve dramatically .
Well that was a fair meltdown by ol' Lloydy.
We played quite well actually, certainly improved in various areas which is promising.
Aaron Hall is listed twice.I've been working on a bit of a player/game rating project. Took me a while to figure out how to get the data. I'll look towards posting some kind of "B&F" for the whole season after the last round, but here's a snippet from the Adelaide game just gone.
The main callout is that Hall's net contribution was -19 points, which is the exact margin that we lost by.

I was personally happy with our improvements over the past 4-5 weeks under Patch. I loved the effort and guts we played against Adelaide but yeah as soon as we started getting sore players in the middle of the 3rd we started to collapse. Ran out of legs, lost confidence and our structure. We honestly should have won.
I think we got to realise we are still a bottom team and the most positive thing is we are on the hunt for Clarko, we had a full review, we got rid of noble etc so change is coming
Aaron Hall is listed twice.
We also lost the game by 29 not 19.
I mean, I know he didn’t play well… but not certain he played twice as crap as othersWhoops, was way too stoned when I posted that lol
Will have to check the double Aaron Hall though. I think that's a manual error from me in Excel when formatting rather than a duplicate in the data.
Still, a net contribution of -3 goals exists. Not a great game from him yesterday.

That's not really how it works though. "Score" in this context means a literal score, not an arbitrary rating. -19 means that he created turnovers that resulted in 19 points for the opposition.
